We had a great two-night stay at Wompatuck in July of 2020. Capacity was reduced to help with social distancing (Covid-19), so the campground was probably less busy than normal for July. Our non-electric loop was a mix of tent and RV campers, and everyone was pretty quiet. We also didn't encounter anyone in the bathrooms. The men's restroom on our loop was reasonably clean (by camping standards), although apparently the women's side had a ton of bugs, particularly in the mornings.

We were in the R loop, and the sites were a real mix. Ours (R002) was large, beautiful, and mostly surrounded by forest. However, some of the sites on the loop were basically a driveway surrounded by a ditch, which made them quite small and not as appealing. Most had reasonable privacy from adjacent sites, however.

Nights were peaceful with very little human noise. We were a little stressed about the tall, skinny trees swaying dramatically in the wind above us, but we managed to tune them out after a bit! Interestingly, while we encountered some mosquitoes walking around the park, we had very few at the campsite itself.

The state park seems to be fairly biking-oriented, both road bikes and mountain bikes. We didn't bring bikes, so we asked the rangers to point out some areas more appropriate for walking/hiking. We ended up taking a nice long walk out to the dam at Aaron River Reservoir (about 6 miles round trip) and another pleasant, short walk to a pond behind the campsite. The scenery was beautiful and the trails were quiet, though we encountered other walkers from time to time.

There are no swimming opportunities in the park itself, but it's a short drive from public beaches, including Nantasket Beach (run by the state) and Bathing Beach (run by the town of Hingham). Bathing Beach is small and only swimmable at high tide, but the parking is free, so that's where we went. We loved it! We also spent a morning walking at World's End (a Trustees of Reservations property on the water), a similarly short drive from the park. There is an admission fee, but it's a unique and beautiful area that is worth checking out.

Wompatuck was a beautiful place to spend a few summer days, and we would definitely visit again!
