About

State Park

Description Located just 35 minutes from downtown Boston, this 260-site (half with electricity), campground boasts a network of trails - biking, hiking and some of the best mountain bicycling in the state. Enjoy fishing and canoeing in the reservoir and ocean swimming at nearby Nantasket Beach.

Geography: One of the most notable features of the Park is Mt. Blue Spring which is a popular source of fresh drinking water. Visitors can help themselves for free. The park is named for an Indian chief the local colonists knew as Josiah Wompatuck. In 1665, Chief Wompatuck deeded the park and the surrounding land to the English settlers. During WWII the park was used as an ammunition depot by the US military.

Recreation: Wompatuck State Park offers 12 miles of paved bicycle trails, and many miles of wooded bridle paths and hiking trails. This is also a geocaching park as one can find up to 30 geocaches within park boundaries. Fishing is allowed in the Cohasset Reservoir. A boat ramp is provided for car-top boats, but no boat trailers, please.

Facilities: This beautiful forested campground offers 260 spacious campsites, flush toilets and showers. Each campsite is furnished with a picnic table, pedestal grill and a fire ring. With 125 sites with electric hookups and a dumping station, this is a very popular facility with trailer campers.

Nearby Attractions: While in the area, be sure to visit other nearby DCR properties: Boston Harbor Islands, Blue Hills State Reservation, Nantasket Beach, Myles Standish State Forest and historic Pilgrim Memorial State Park.

would have been 5 stars…except for all the trash

we came here because we want to start checking off all the state parks in MA and this was our first. (we normally camp in nh or at expensive campgrounds which we hate lol). this was $17 a night and an added $6 per night if you wanted electric and we decided to splurge. it is $54 an night NON electric for non ma residents and at that point don’t even bother coming here it’s NOT worth $60. though i mist say they never checked that i was a resident……use that information how you will, with caution. firewood is $7 a bundle and they’re not very big which is sad, for our 2 nights we used around 5 of them. now onto the issue at hand..the trash. there was so much litter everywhere. we noticed this on our way to our site and when we got to our site there was trash everywhere, a whole bag of trash left behind as well, and a pot of pasta sitting on the picnic table..yikes. we quickly tried to handle it as best we could but we were incredibly disgusted. we did like the electric towers for the most part. they seemed really futuristic. what i didn’t love was that the dim-ish yellow light could not be turned off. i like to sleep in pitch black, it’s part of the reason i love camping. so this was disappointing. but it did have 2 different camper plugins as well as 2 regular outlets. we camp in a tent so this was good. the site was incredibly spacious and consisted of the electric tower, the firepit (not movable, it’s rocks not a metal ring. i have no issue with this but some might), and a picnic table. the firepit has a grill grate but ours was unusable as it was full almost to the top with ash and dirt, though every other site seemed to be fine it was just ours. the bathroom/shower facilities (i can only speak for the women’s side) were pretty clean, especially compared to the rest of the campground. there was handicap accessible stalls. outside the building was a big double basin sink for dishwashing as well as a dumpster and tetherball. there were 2-3 bathrooms on the “electric” side of the campground where we were. would probably stay here again..would probably find another state park i like better. if i’m being honest. but it was not bad by any means. we also loved that it’s a geocaching park. very fun aspect.

Overall peaceful!

We had no neighbors our entire stay. Our site was flat, clean and it had great amenities. My only complaint is that it gets extremely buggy around 3pm.

One night stay over

Overall a descent campground. We stayed just one night passing through. Quiet for having so many campers. The sites are a little close. It’s a little expensive considering out of staters pay three times as much as locals, but it’s a state park and they pay taxes here so I will chalk it up to a local perk. The sites are nice and enough room for my trailer. People were friendly. Be the rooms were clean but dated. The powered stations were quite unique. Overall a nice place to stay.
