Best Campgrounds near Beverly, MA

611 Reviews

Beverly, Massachusetts provides access to several established campgrounds within a short drive of the coast. Winter Island Park in nearby Salem offers tent, RV, and glamping options with waterfront sites approximately 7 miles from Beverly. Cape Ann Camp Site in Gloucester, about 12 miles northeast, features tent camping, RV hookups, and cabin accommodations in a wooded setting. These developed campgrounds serve as convenient bases for exploring Massachusetts' North Shore beaches, historic sites, and coastal attractions.

Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, typically opening in May and closing between September and November. Winter Island Park operates from May 1 to October 31, while Cape Ann Camp Site runs from mid-May through mid-October. Full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer connections are available at several locations, though availability is limited and advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially during summer weekends and Salem's busy October season. Many campgrounds offer showers, restrooms, and fire rings, though restrictions on ground fires exist at some locations. A recent review noted, "We stayed in tents and loved this campground. The restrooms were very clean and being cleaned constantly. The beach was beautiful and enjoyed walking on the larger rocks."

Waterfront camping receives consistently positive reviews, with sites along the ocean particularly prized for their views and access. Winter Island Park's bayside sites (12-16D) offer prime harbor views despite their proximity to each other. Several visitors mentioned the convenience of these coastal campgrounds for accessing nearby attractions, including Salem's historic district and Boston via commuter rail or ferry. While some campgrounds like Cape Ann provide more wooded, private sites, others feature more open layouts with less privacy between campers. One camper shared, "Cape Ann Campground is located close to Gloucester and Rockport. The campground is clean and quiet with beautiful tent sites. The RV sites are not as secluded as the tent sites." Wildlife sightings, including turkeys and deer, enhance the camping experience at some locations despite their proximity to urban areas.

    Coastal Acres Campground

    Great location!

    This campground is a mix of seasonal and transient campers with sites able to accommodate all size RV’s. One of the best aspects of this campground is the close proximity to downtown Provincetown which is only a half mile away. We loved walking to town for shopping and restaurants especially since parking is very expensive($20-40/day). We camped in “the field” section which has long, level, full hook-up, back in sites. Note: other sections in the park are much closer together. The field is fairly open with some trees along the back edge and a few scattered in the sites but non that would interfere with satellite reception or backing in. We stayed in F9 which was a great site! Our patio was a large, open grassy area. The site was gravel and all hookups were well-placed. (The other site we really liked was F4.) We got 12 over-the-air television stations and our Verizon phone and hotspot worked well. They do have wifi which worked pretty well for surfing the internet. 

    There isn’t much in the way of amenities except bath houses and a small store. Everyone who worked there was very nice and friendly. 

    There is lots to do in the area and you are very close to Cape Cod National Seashore which we loved for hiking, biking, and hanging out at the beach. The Province Land visitor center is worth the time as we enjoyed the films and exhibits. There was a red fox family who had a den under the visitor center that we loved watching. Also, visit the lifesaving station nearby– very interesting and informative and they do live demonstrations of drills. Truro Winery (about 10 minutes away) is a fun place to stop and enjoy wine and food outside.

    Salisbury Beach State Reservation

    Love camping here!

    The first time we camped here was on Columbus Day weekend a number of years ago, and we got to see seals sun bathing on the beach. Are kids thought it was the greatest thing ever! The sites are a little close together and many of them are in direct sunlight , so that isn't the greatest , but if you have an awning, you should be good. We love that it is right on the water, and we can walk to the beach. We also appreciate that it is pet friendly, and our dogs love it too. Write down the street from camp, there is a street setup almost like a boardwalk, with arcades, live music, ice cream, food, and a carousel! There is also a bigger beach, and you are one twin away from New Hampshire. Lots to see and do here!

    Winding River Campground

    Close Sites, Loved the River!

    My husband and I had a great time here! We went early in the season, so there were not many people there. We met the new owners/managers and they were very friendly. David was attentive and very helpful!

    We stayed in the Oak Section at 317. The sites are pretty close together, which is why I gave a 4. We didn’t have neighbors, but I can imagine on a busy weekend, it might get crowded. The Utilities at this site were in an awkward spot, compared to where we wanted the camper.

    Spacious Skies Minute Man

    The Road is Loud

    My husband and I had a great time here! The owners and managers are amazing. Kind, friendly, attentive! We really appreciated them!

    The reason for the 4/5 is due to the road noise, and the neighbors noise. The residents that boarder the campground are a bit loud. We camped at spot 72. If you are tent camping, I would recommend not camping at the 70’s spots. It’s just close to the road, and it can get noisy at times. It quiets down at night, but during peak travel times is a little loud. Head to the back of the camp ground. The bathroom looks further away than it is, but everything is very convenient!

    Forest Glen

    Forest Glenn campground

    Forest Glenn campground is a very nice campground on Wheelwright pond in Lee New Hampshire! Not well kept up but makes you feel like you’re still camping and not glamping ( glamorous camping ) besides some of the very nice campers here with 2 stories on them! Anyway cutting to the chase, just to let any new comers know that are looking for camping in the Lee area if you so choose to camp at forest Glenn depending who you are or how you approach this place dictates if you will have to feel like your stepping on eggshells your entire stay… the owner is a angry Drunk who is sometimes very nice to others or very nasty, and I personally mostly see him being nasty. A couple years back I wanted to look at the campground to see if this would be a place I wanted to stay at so I walked into the office and asked them if we could look around and the lady was in the process of writing us a pass to drive through. This man comes in and said whats going on so I politely told him that we were interested in his campground and we wanted to look around. He completely flipped out said he doesn't understand, said his campground is his back yard, we can't allow this how would you like if I just walked around your back yard etc etc.... yelling at us the whole time and spitting while screaming and then told us to get out of his sight…. This place mind you is overrun by golf carts and I have heard of incidents where people get hit by them because who cares about the posted 5mph speed limitations if your in a golf carts right? Right! And CLEARLY this place is a Double standard place so you will not be treated equal… and as far as I know this place has secret people who camp supposedly working at camp like the manager and security and the plumber or electrician who look like their helping but while helping they gather information about you to spread it around to others or to cause problems with you and the owner!! Oh how thoughtful… one Morning I was in the office and the owner pulled me into the rec room to have a talk with me about my string lights suggesting I shut them off at night and I’m not allowed to use them anymore. I said “sir why would I do that there are 50 other sites with spot lights and string lights Who are these lights bothering that I need to take them down for? “ he said use them inside the trailer I don’t want to see them on again! “ now tell me how that makes any sense… so I shut them off and it became like a minefield on my site at night with no lights while the campers down a different street get to have theirs on. There is no privacy at this place, things keep going missing, and the sites are packed like sardines with no room for Jesus. There are also people staying here over winter and it’s a seasonal campground tell me how that makes any sense. Anyway definitely an experience to be at where drama hits too close to home and the golf cart parking spots are rolling a little to close to my feet. “ oh sorry my foot slipped “ #welp time to search for another place. Seems to be a trend with almost every campground. Angry owners who automatically cause problems or can’t run their own business place without drug addicts for help ( to say the least me and my wife WILL NOT BE COMING BACK )

    Tuxbury Pond RV Campground

    This camping trip truly exceeded my expectations

     The campground was clean, peaceful, and surrounded by wide open views. During the day, the natural landscape felt refreshing and expansive, and at night, the sky was filled with stars, creating a calm and almost magical atmosphere. The layout of the campsite was well planned, making it easy and comfortable for both beginners and experienced campers to enjoy their stay. One fun thing I did after the trip was use Idea To Image to recreate some of the moments that stood out to me—sunrise over the tents, the warmth of the campfire, and the quiet starry night. It helped me turn those memories into beautiful visuals that really captured the peaceful vibe of the experience. Looking back at them now feels like being transported right back to the campsite. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking to slow down and reconnect with nature.

Guide to Beverly

Camping near Beverly, Massachusetts offers diverse overnight options stretching from the north shore's coastal areas to inland wooded settings. The region experiences typical New England seasonal patterns with warm summers averaging 75-85°F and cool spring and fall conditions dipping to 40-60°F. Many campers report wildlife sightings including wild turkeys and deer even at campgrounds near urban centers.

What to do

Beach access opportunities: At Salisbury Beach State Reservation, campers can enjoy direct ocean access just 22 miles north of Beverly. "Clean facilities, super quick access to the beach, friendly staff, sites are pretty close together with little separation between each other. RV & tent sites available. Our family loves both the ocean & camping so it is a win-win!" notes Sara D.

Historical exploration: Hanscom AFB FamCamp provides a strategic location for exploring Revolutionary War sites. "Close to minute man historical sites- revolutionary war historical trails and Ranger Station. Not too far from Boston," reports Caitlin B., making this military-only facility a practical base for history enthusiasts.

Water activities: Boston Harbor Islands State Park offers unique island camping accessed only by ferry. "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," shares Jean C.

What campers like

Secluded woodland sites: Lorraine Park Campground at Harold Parker State Forest offers wooded camping 15 miles from Beverly. "The site are huge with space in between. They keep the bathrooms very clean. There are lots of trails and ponds," reports Kelly F. This campground provides more privacy than coastal options.

Proximity to historic towns: Beach Rose RV Park places campers near charming coastal towns. One reviewer noted, "Great location from the ocean and some nice towns to visit. Boston and Salem are very close and you can take a train which is only 5 minutes away from the campground." The convenient public transportation makes city exploration practical without moving your camping setup.

Oceanfront camping: Salisbury Beach State Reservation offers direct ocean access. "Stayed here with my partner for her birthday while we were up in the Plum Island/Rockport area. Beautiful ocean access and great facilities. We stayed in a site right next to a large bathhouse with showers, plentiful stalls, and water bottle fill-up and rinse off station," shares Meg T.

What you should know

Seasonal operation limits: Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from May through October. Wompatuck State Park Campground typically runs "mid May to mid October" while Beach Rose RV Park operates "Apr 1 - Nov 15," offering one of the longer seasons in the area.

Site privacy varies significantly: Proximity between sites differs dramatically between campgrounds. At Wompatuck State Park, "Sites are more secluded than other camp grounds but can be a bit small," reports Tim L., while at Salisbury Beach State Reservation, sites are "pretty close together with little separation between each other."

Reservation timing: Especially for specialized camping options, book well in advance. For Boston Harbor Islands, "Reservations open 6 months in advance and sites fill quickly, so plan ahead if you're counting on a particulate day," warns Jean C.

Tips for camping with families

Playground amenities: Camp Nihan Education Center offers child-friendly facilities close to Boston. "The group site is super close to parking and yet the terrain is rugged enough that it always felt like we were really in the woods. A recently renovated bathroom and shower facility makes clean ups easy," shares Michael V.

Bathroom facilities: When camping with kids, clean facilities matter. At Lorraine Park Campground, "Awesome park. It was a quiet night and bathrooms where clean. Has spacious showers. Park rangers drive around campground often," notes Marisabel R.

Entertainment options: Some campgrounds provide organized activities. At Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, one visitor mentioned, "The pool, playground, bathrooms, and basketball court were all open and well maintained," though reviews are mixed regarding noise levels and overall experience.

Tips from RVers

Site selection cautions: Cape Ann Camp Site offers different experiences depending on site type. "Cape Ann Campground is located close to Gloucester and Rockport. The campground is clean and quiet with beautiful tent sites. The RV sites are not as secluded as the tent sites," explains Della S.

Dump station access: Not all campgrounds offer on-site dump facilities. At Winter Island Park, "the dump station is not on site; ask at the office about arrangements for this," advises one reviewer, an important consideration for extended stays.

Winter operation: Very few campgrounds remain open during winter months. Most shut down by early November, with Hanscom AFB FamCamp noting "Limited sites available off season. Summer season early May through end October," according to Heather C.
