Normandy Farms Campground houses premium glamping options in Foxborough, Massachusetts, just a short drive from Avon. The property features a variety of upscale canvas accommodations including yurts with bunk beds, comfortable mattresses, floor lamps, and indoor tables. Boston Harbor Islands State Park Campground provides another glamping destination with six well-appointed yurts on Peddocks Island, accessible by ferry and offering unique waterfront seclusion. Both locations provide electricity in their glamping units, with most featuring outdoor picnic tables, grills, and scenic views. The yurts blend comfort with outdoor living, providing shelter from elements while maintaining a connection to nature. Each glamping accommodation sits on a designated site with easy access to drinking water and bathroom facilities. One guest shared, "The yurts have bunk beds, a floor lamp, a table inside, a picnic table outside and a grill. Just getting to the island is a fun adventure."
The Boston Harbor Islands glamping experience includes exploration of old forts, rocky shoreline trails, and spectacular sunset views over the water. Guests staying at Peddocks Island can take small ferries to other nearby islands for swimming and additional adventures. Normandy Farms offers four swimming pools (including an indoor heated pool), a creative arts center, fitness room with modern equipment, and an adult-only lounge area. Both glamping locations operate seasonally, with Boston Harbor Islands available only during summer months and Normandy Farms operating from April through November. Booking for the island yurts should be done well in advance as a visitor noted, "These sites book quickly, so you should try to book 7 months to the day in advance." The ferry ride to Peddocks Island adds to the exclusive glamping experience, with beautiful harbor views and interpretive commentary along the route. Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place shopping center are located just five miles from Normandy Farms for additional entertainment options.
"The staff was positive and helpful and that made a difference for me. I traditionally dry camp or go for semi hooked up on purpose, I just like the quieter camping."

ScoutGlamp Frogmore offers the privacy of camping while offering extras to make a truly unique getaway. The large tent has a couch, an extremely comfortable bed (bamboo linens, pillows, and comforter included), battery powered lanterns, a battery powered fan, and games. The private campsite has a site for an additional pop-up tent (which they will include for a fee), a fire pit (firewood included), a Coleman stove, all cooking utensils, pots and pans, and an outhouse. Take one of the trails and visit the small pond with Adirondack chairs and a horseshoe pit. The site also abuts miles of Audubon trails. Optional extras include dinner in a cast iron pot delivered in the evening, coffee and breakfast delivered in the morning, a pop-up tent, a dog bed, a cooler stocked with ice and a sampling of local beer, or seltzers, or lemonade, s'mores fixings, and homemade chocolate chip cookies upon arrival.
GuideWe were delighted when we learned we had the little peninsula of site P1 all to ourselves. Stunning views across the large pond, and serving as a wonderful halfway rest/respite on the journey from NYC to Belfast, ME. We felt like we were on top of the world, discovering this perfect quiet nook and basking in nature’s splendor.
I can only speak for the camping on this peninsula/land, but the rest of the sites looked cozy, family-friendly, and fun. Cabins and RV sites across the lake, along with beaches for swimming. Bathrooms located on P1 peninsula. Canoe rentals on-site. Lovely picnic dining area alongside covered bridge and waterfall. Completely picturesque and, mostly, totally peaceful!
GuideBeautiful campsite, nice sized sites surrounded by trees so it felt pretty private. Bathrooms and showers well maintained, 25 cents for 5 minute shower. No cell service but wifi available at the office. Only thing we didn't like washere a lot of people walking dogs and let them "go" wherever.
ScoutI’ve been camping for over twenty years and this campground is by far the noisiest campground I have ever been to. If you are looking for any sort of peace and quiet this is NOT the place for you. The first night we were here it sounded like a massive stadium tailgate party. There was music, yelling, and voices coming from everywhere. It does die down as it gets closer to quiet hours but that’s at 11 pm and fires need to be out at midnight. So there is no sitting around the camp fire in the evening, listening to the crickets, they are drowned out by people noise. The second night wasn’t much better. The campground itself is well maintained and seems to really cater to large extended families and groups which is nice to see. There are a lot of sites here and they are very close together so there is little privacy. But the sites are paved for your camper, have nice fire pits and a picnic table. The hookups are good too. The staff is very friendly. They don’t seem to enforce many rules. A lot of unsupervised kids on bikes (we saw two different kids on different occasions who were lost),very little mask wearing, sites with way more people on them then there was suppose to be, lots of kids without helmets, constantly barking dogs. The place is definitely dog and kid friendly. It is near so many beaches and things to do and downtown Falmouth is really cute. It’s a good campground for a place to parking your camper and go off and do things, but if your looking for some privacy and quiet, this isn’t the place to go. We won’t be coming back here.
ScoutThe staff here is friendly and helpful whenever you call.
The property itself is in need of updating. The bathrooms work well enough, but they are in need of a significant amount of maintenance.
The sites are kept clean and have water and electric (some may be by powercord). The tent sites do not offer much separation in the area I stayed.
The sites do have plenty of room for a tent, vehicle and each have their own fire pit and picnic table.
It does have the ability for people to do several recreational activities on site: walking trails, beach, volleyball, basket ball.
I stayed a couple nights and had a good stay overall.
GuideThis campground was recently bought by Sun RV so there already some changes happening- the arcade room is closed and being remodeled and they now allow you to use your own boat (non motor) on the pond which is a definite improvement. Mini golf and the pools are nothing special. We have camped here every summer for 4 years in a “glamp” site which is large with fire pit. The staff has always been friendly and we even projected a movie 4th of July outdoors with no issue. That being said, we use this mostly as a location to do other things- Old Silver Beach is 10 minutes down the road as is the Shining Sea Bike path. Downtown Falmouth is 10 minutes away as well where you have great restaurants, shops and the ferry to the islands.
GuideOver Memorial Day weekend, we camped at Myles Standish. We were in the Charged Pond area, in loop F. The campground doesn't have hook ups, but there is a dump station with water and water available around the loops. The lower part of the camp ground is set up in different loops. While this is a large campground, it didn't feel that large as the loop probably had 50 sites. Our site was wooded and pretty private for a state campground. We had plenty of room and the site had a fire pit and picnic table. Each loop has one bathhouse. Ours, unfortunately, did not have hot water. We were told if we wanted it, we could go to any of the other loops. The bathrooms had two showers and three stalls, two sinks. There were at least three outlets in the women's room which was convenient for a quick cell phone charge.
The check in process was a little challenging. We arrived later in the day and had hoped to get our pop up set up by dark, but the check in process took almost 30 mins between waiting in line and a VERY slow attendant. He was more worried about my out of state phone number than getting us checked in. He also kept trying to put us in a different section of the campground. I finally pulled up my reservation to show him that I was in the Charged Pond area.
Our daughters rate campgrounds by their bathrooms. I was pleasantly surprised that they received at least one cleaning during our time there. But regardless, the bathrooms weren't that clean. It wasn't the worst bathroom (thanks Yosemite for setting that standard), but it could have been a little more attended to. It scored a - "not so bad that we'd never come back" rating from the girls.
The bike trails through the part are great and we enjoyed them. Paved and mountain bike trails. The map they give you at check in isn't very good - hard to read and a little blurry. We picked up a nice printed, folded map at the visitor's center in town and it was much nicer and easier to read the trails. Take the map with you as the bike trails were a little confusing.
We also enjoyed the various kettle ponds. We kayaked one morning and enjoyed watching the people catching good sized fish around us. The beach (at least at Charged Pond) had a nice sandy section and a bathhouse.
The town of Plymouth is about a 10 min. drive if you need anything. We never saw a camp store or even a place to get ice. But we didn't look that hard either.
I was surprised that it was fairly quite and not busier on a holiday weekend. We felt most people respected quiet hours and there were even empty sites in our loop.
We will definitely go back. It was a nice, quick getaway.
ScoutThey have glamping sites, which include full hookup, fire pit with chairs, octagon shaped picnic table and stone patio for your rv front door. Pets welcomed, a ton of extra activities like row boat rental, kayak rental, mini golf for $3 all day, must bring a bicycle helmet if your riding bikes(state law), a small store, firewood for purchase, gated community, so you feel safe, 3 pools, laundry etc. We were impressed, only thing is main pool seems alittle run down and arcade area could look better than it does. Wish the had outdoor mo ie nights and crafts for kids

Located 20 miles south of Boston, this region features typical New England hardwood forests with relatively flat terrain and numerous freshwater kettle ponds.

Explore historical trails: Hanscom AFB FamCamp provides convenient access to nearby Revolutionary War sites. "Close to minute man historical sites - revolutionary war historical trails and Ranger Station. Not too far from Boston," notes Caitlin B. The campground is situated near Lexington and Concord, making it ideal for history enthusiasts.
Paddle the ponds: Pinewood Lodge Campground offers a peaceful pond setting for water activities. "We were lucky enough to get a site by the pond. There was great views from our site of the pond. On the site there was also a path down to a little dock on the pond that you could sit and relax on," writes Laurie, highlighting the water access opportunities.
Island exploration: Boston Harbor Islands State Park Campground provides unique offshore adventures. "While you're out on the islands, take time to explore one of the others…look for sea glass on Spectacle Island and climb the hill for a view of the Boston skyline, explore the old forts and visitors centers, earn a Junior Ranger badge from the National Park Service, fly a kite, or go for a swim or kayak," recommends Jean C.
Beach access: Winter Island Park offers oceanfront camping with beach activities. "The beach is interesting with some tide pools as well as sand and warm water. Life guards were paying attention," shares Lisa M. This campground combines beach access with proximity to Salem's attractions.
Clear swimming areas: Myles Standish State Forest features multiple kettle ponds for swimming. "The pond water was very clear, seeing as they are fed from natural springs under the ponds," notes Kyle C. The forest's various ponds offer swimming options throughout the property.
Kid-friendly activities: Boston/Cape Cod KOA provides numerous children's activities. "As we pulled around the office we saw all kinds of activities for kids. Bouncy 'pillow', pool, bounce pad, sluice, miniature golf, and a playground," reports Samantha S. The campground serves as a family-oriented base for exploring the region.
Site privacy: George Washington State Campground offers well-spaced sites. "Sites were well spaced and provided some privacy depending on your site choice. Grounds were well kept, bathrooms were very clean with hot showers (bring quarters, $1.50 for 6mins)," shares Nick P., highlighting the campground's layout and facilities.
Glamping amenities close to Avon: Beyond the luxury yurts mentioned previously, other glamping options near Avon include well-appointed cabins. "This campground is so well run I felt like I was in Disneyland's Frontier Land. They offer anything you could want. Spotlessly clean and wonderful employees. The pool is also great. The yurts are beautiful," mentions Jean T. about her upscale camping experience.
Reservation requirements: Campsites throughout the region book quickly, especially for premium spots and glamping units near Avon. "We wanted to explore the Cape and are members of the KOA rewards program so we chose here to stay. The staff were very nice and helpful," explains Samantha S.
Fee variations: State parks have different pricing for residents versus non-residents. "If you're not a Rhode Island resident the fee for most sites is $36/night. Is it worth it? Eh, probably not unless you're really jonesing to camp for a weekend in the Ocean State," mentions Ryan A.
Transportation logistics: When camping at Boston Harbor Islands, plan transportation carefully. "Unless you have your own boat (check regulations on the website; you'll need to anchor offshore overnight), you'll want to catch a ride on the ferries to the Boston Harbor Islands. Figuring out the schedule is the trickiest part," advises Jean C.
Shower facilities: Many campgrounds charge for showers. "The new bathrooms are great! Lots of things to do in the area as well. Great food nearby," notes Jessica W. about George Washington State Campground.
Find properties with scheduled activities: Normandy Farms Campground provides extensive family programming. "We stayed here for a few nights when they celebrated Halloween 🎃. It is super easy to get around. They had tons of festive activities. They have an indoor and an outdoor pool. The restrooms are clean. I highly recommend staying here. It was a lot of fun," shares Liz W.
Look for campgrounds with beaches: Choose sites near swimming areas for built-in entertainment. "Winters island is a beautiful campground in Salem, ma. The kids had a great time by the sea and the playground. 1 of my daughters favorite summer activities this year," reports Candace H.
Consider premium sites for more space: Basic sites at popular campgrounds can be crowded. "I have belong to KOA's for quite a few years and I have learned that you really need to upgrade to the better campsites to enjoy your stay. With that being said I did not take my own advice and I booked a basic 30 amp fullhook up campsite and it was so tight that unfortunately I did not enjoy it as much as I wanted to," advises Janet P.
Check site dimensions: Sites vary widely across campgrounds. "We chose a paved full hook-up pull thru with paved patio (Site E1). Our site was easy to navigate in and out of and was definitely big-rig-friendly with ample space for our motorhome and tow car. All utilities were well-placed and functioned properly," shares Nancy W.
Consider seasonal usage patterns: Campgrounds have different crowd levels throughout the week. "The one thing you may notice is that if you stay on a Friday or Saturday night, the campground may be to capacity, like it was when we stayed. But the Sunday, and Monday nights, the 7 closest spots to us were empty, it was like having the woods to ourselves," notes Kyle C.
Verify utility connections: Different campgrounds offer varying hookup levels. "There are plenty of sites to choose from the 'premium' full hook-up (50 amp) to basic with just water and electric and many others in between. Both back-in and pull thrus are available as are sites with shade and full sun," explains Nancy W.
