We plan on visiting the Boston area in May/early June. We are huge fans of the NE Patriots, so we will plan our 3rd visit to Gillette too.  Any cool places to visit that are hidden gems of the Boston area or in the Southern Maine area? We are starting our camping vacation around the Kittery/Portland, ME area, then moving toward the Boston area. Campground suggestions?

The definition of "hidden gems" varies with individual preferences. Adults only or with children? Historical sites, theater, outdoor activities, ... ? Better answers with more info.

In NH, Mt. Washington and white mts area is very pretty. Lost River Gorge, Polar Caves, and Hampton Beach area. If you have young kids there is Storyland and Santas village.
Boston aquarium is nice.

Normandy Farms CG in Foxboro is 3 miles from Gillette Stadium. Best CG in MASS, hands down. There's also a rail station in downtown Foxboro that'll easily get you into Boston.

If you enjoy history, the Freedom Trail in Boston is a can't miss adventure and is totally walkable. Duck-Boat tours of the city. Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market. If you're a baseball buff, Fenway Park Tours.

Boston's North End for some of the best Italian food in the country.


Agree with all of this, especially Normandy Farms comment. Stay out of Boston with your RV.

Sorry if my second post bothered you. Didn't know if people saw my response to more specifics on the areas we are going to visit.
