    Charlie Brown Campground

    Well run Campground

    WE come here every year with our group, RVing Women Northeast Network for our first rally of the season each year for a number of years,  The reason we come back is the way we are treated, because they have pavilions that have a campfires pit and the roof is made so it takes the smoke straight up out of the pavilion yet is protective of those under the roof from rain etc.  VERY enjoyable.  We all park around this Pavillon.  IT is well kept, kids are entertained by parents and fishing etc.  Parties are present but they have quiet hour and it seems to be obeyed.

    Sutton Falls Camping Area

    Georgous, private camping along pristine Aldrich Mill Pond

    We 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!

    Wilderness Lake Park

    Cute place

    My family and I stayed here a few years ago in the tent area. Not all sites are secluded, but we were the only ones so it was nice and private. At the time there was only one port-a-potty for the tent area we were in and no water source. It’s a dog friendly park which was good for us, our dog could swim in the lake with us. Cute patio overlooking the lake as well with seating. Wood delivery is awesome especially since tent area is a slight distance from office, but that is also a bonus so you’re away from the RV sites. Also price is reasonable for a private campground considering the rates a lot of other places charge.

    Highland Campground

    Older but lots to do

    The campground is older, and the roads/driveways need work. For those looking for newer facilities, this isn't the place. There are no 50 amp sites. The rec hall and the bath houses are old, but we don't mind the old fashioned spots at times. Reminds me of camping as a kid. There are a lot of activities for the kids and adults. Shuffleboard, bocci ball, fishing, bingo, playground, pit luck dinners, etc. There is wifi available.

    There are a lot of seasonal campers which can sometimes feel like you're intruding on their space. There is a page of rules to follow, the seasonals ignore them.

    There is no black water hookup, only gray water. You have to have them clean out the black or dump on the way out.

    Boston Harbor Islands State Park Campground

    Ranger Review: Banner & Oak Traveler Shirt at Boston Harbor Islands

    Campground review: Camping at Boston Harbor Islands requires some planning, but you get the benefit of a remote island with minimal company. Unless you book one of the 12 yurts on Peddocks island, the camping is rustic; you’ll need to bring everything, including water. Reservations open 6 months in advance and sites fill quickly, so plan ahead if you’re counting on a particulate day. I only visited the campsites on Peddocks Island, so I can’t speak to the ones on Lovell, Grape, and Bumpkin. 

    Getting there: 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, not least because they don’t make the inter-island ferry schedule as readily accessible. Here’s the scoop: 

    1. Check the ferry schedule. Figure out which departure makes the most sense for you. You may choose to leave from Long Wharf, near the Aquarium T stop on the Blue line, or from Hingham, with overnight parking available. For Bumpkin and Grape Islands, you’ll want to leave from Hingham; Peddocks and Lovells are available from either departure point
    2. Buy your ticket online in advance. Some town libraries have passes offering 2-for-1 ferry rides, so if you’re a MA resident in the greater Boston area, it’s worth checking that out first. Otherwise, you’ll be looking at an extra$20 for the ferry, but that fee covers your round trip as well as the use of the interisland ferries so you can explore other islands. If you’re traveling as a family, look at the family pack for another discount. You can show the ticket on your phone when you board. 
    3. Pack as lightly as possible and plan to carry or wheel it to your site. If you have a folding wagon, you may appreciate having it to carry items on and off the ferry and to your site on the island. There may or may not be carts available on the island. Peddocks has running water available, but otherwise you’ll need to bring gallon of water/person. If you want to grill, bring your own charcoal; otherwise bring a stove or bring food that doesn’t need to be cooked. You may scavenge wood to build fires below the high tide line only. No alcohol and no pets. 

    The yurts on Peddocks are great, providing shelter from the elements, bunks with mattresses, electricity, a ceiling fan, table with benches, and a grill. There are 6 yurts up a small hill, with a composting toilet and water from a tap nearby. The 6 tent sites are also in this area. An additional 6 yurt sites are below the hill and in the woods, so it’s a slightly longer walk to the toilet. at the top of another hill there is an open, grassy area, also with a composting toilet, that provides group campsited.

    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. In mid-August we collected handfuls of blackberries as we explored Peddocks. 

    Ranger Product Review: Banner& Oak Traveler Shirt 

    As a Ranger with the Dyrt, I sometimes get to test items; in this case I ordered the Banner& Oak Traveler long-sleeve t-shirt  in indigo. It’s long sleeved and super soft, but the first time I went to put it on, I realized the Banner& Oak tag along the hemline was sewn through both the front and back, so I couldn’t put t on until I removed the tag. I didn’t have scissors with me, so it was tough to get it off and ultimately I ended up with a hole in both the front and back. I’ve worn this on strolls through the woods when the weather was nice, but cool and on the foggy morning ferry ride to the island. The sleeves are not constricting and when I pushed them up to my elbows, they stayed in place while I hiked. I will say that it is a unisex t-shirt and the sleeves and body of the shirt tend to run long. I like that, but if you're petite, it may be annoying.

    George Washington State Campground

    One of my favorites

    They allow 2 cars per site. Kept very clean. Swimming area. Great for kayaking and fishing. We camp in our tent. They do allow RVs. Tons of hiking trails. Picnic tables and fire pit at each site. The folks a few miles down the road by the rotary sell giant piles of wood for $10. They do not have an on site store or sell firewood. So bring your own things. Simple but very nice.

    Boston/Cape Cod KOA

    Fun for Kids

    We stayed here over the 4th of July this summer. Overall we had a nice time and our 3 kids really enjoyed it.

    The pool was green the first day we were there, but the filters were quickly fixed and it was back to normal. It was not a great first impression for us. There were unaccompanied children in the pool who were extremely rude, swearing, jumping on people. I actually got my kids out of the pool and left. The pool is very small and when it is crowded it is more for wading than swimming.

    Quiet hours were not enforced and people with very loud music were walking up and down the road past sites well past quiet hours.

    There were long lines for showers every night and the showers were very outdated and not clean at all.

    The activities for kids is the draw for this campground for sure. My kids loved the train rides, movie night, flash light candy hunt, and arts and crafts.

    The staff was friendly and helpful.

    Overall we made the best of it all and left with good family memories.


Guide to Grafton

The Grafton area sits at approximately 450 feet above sea level in central Massachusetts, characterized by numerous ponds and small lakes dotting the landscape. Camping options near Grafton range from rustic state parks to upscale glamping accommodations, with most campgrounds operating from mid-April through October due to the region's seasonal temperature fluctuations.

What to do

Hiking trails access: Wells State Park Campground offers excellent hiking opportunities with scenic lake views. "There are some great hiking trails going around some lakes. Clean showers," notes Joey S., who gave the park five stars. The campground features newly renovated facilities that enhance the hiking experience.

Fishing opportunities: West Thompson Lake Campground provides catch-and-release fishing in a tranquil setting. A visitor mentioned, "The lake is pretty but you cannot swim or eat the fish. There are a lot of choices for hiking including a disc golf course." The campground maintains 22 sites with centrally located amenities.

Water recreation: Sutton Falls Camping Area offers various water activities on Aldrich Mill Pond. One camper shared, "Stayed on an rv site for 1 week this past summer. Had a great time, kids had a blast with the boat rentals and fishing." The campground is located approximately 5 minutes from additional hiking at Purgatory Chasm.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: George Washington State Campground receives praise for its spacious layout. "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)," reports Nick P. The campground features both drive-in and walk-in sites for various camping preferences.

Swimming areas: Campers appreciate the beach areas at several campgrounds near Grafton. At Wells State Park Campground, a visitor noted, "There is swimming at the lake but it looked way too dirty." Many campers opt for sites near water features, with sites numbered 19-24 being particularly popular for their proximity to the lake.

Recreational facilities: Normandy Farms Campground stands out for its extensive amenities. "Four pools (include an indoor heated one), fitness room (with elliptical, treadmills, bikes, machine and free weights), creative arts center, camp store, 20,000 square-foot activities building," reports one detailed review. The campground maintains approximately 400 sites including RV sites, tent sites, yurts, and safari tents.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds in the Grafton area operate from April through October. Normandy Farms remains open longer than most, operating from "April 10 to October 25," which provides additional options for early spring and late fall camping.

Power limitations: Some campgrounds experience electrical issues during peak usage. At Webster Sturbridge Family Campground, one camper reported, "The electrical is the worst part. It constantly fluctuates and if you have a surge protector it will turn everything off in your camper to keep it safe." Power concerns are most common during summer heat waves.

Additional fees: Bowdish Lake Camping Area has multiple supplementary charges beyond base rates. A reviewer cautioned, "Then they charged us an additional $75.00 for our truck. Then they charged us an additional $50.00 for having our own kayak." Campers should inquire about all potential fees when booking.
