The region includes established campgrounds with tent sites, RV facilities, and cabin rentals, many situated within 20-30 minutes of the Boston metropolitan area, making them convenient weekend getaways for urban residents.

Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, with many open from May through October. Wompatuck State Park is available from mid-May to mid-October, while Boston/Cape Cod KOA operates from March to November. Ponkapoag Camp is one of the few year-round options.

Reservation requirements vary by campground, with many requiring advance booking, especially during summer weekends. A visitor noted, "Wompatuck State Park Campground is a very large campground so you can almost always book a site - which is great for those spur of the moment camping trips."

Several campgrounds feature water access, with Ponkapoag Camp situated on a pond popular for swimming and fishing. Hiking trails are abundant throughout the region's campgrounds, particularly at Wompatuck State Park and the Blue Hills area near Ponkapoag. Many campers appreciate the proximity to Boston while still enjoying a forest setting. One camper described Ponkapoag Camp as feeling "like Vermont yet 20 minutes from Downtown Boston." Bathroom facilities and amenities vary widely, from the rustic outhouses at Ponkapoag to the shower facilities and electric hookups at Wompatuck State Park. Bug activity can be significant in wooded areas, particularly during summer months, with several reviews mentioning mosquitoes as an issue to prepare for, especially at Wompatuck in August.

    Coastal Acres Campground

    Tight but friendly

    Sites are a tight squeeze but the charm is unmistakable. The staff(Deb and Lucy) are fabulous! The welcome is unmatched. You are within walking distance of all downtown activities. There are bike and jeep trails. No fire rings and not much privacy. Would come again!

    Massasoit State Park Campground

    Campsite was great, staff was rough

    I loved our campsite. But the staff was pretty rude. I was there for a family reunion. I told the staff my mom and dad would be dropping me off the next day, so they added their name to the site as it is a mile walk in. They didn’t give us another car tag, just said if there names were in the site we were good. Next night, we get dropped off in the rain, with a 50 lb bag of dog food and they wouldn’t let me parents take me to my site. Eventually we convinced them of we left my dad and sister at the front gate with them in the pouring rain, my mom could drive us in. They never even checked our reservation to see if the names were in there. Bring a car if you are camping here in a motorhome

    Coastal Acres Campground

    Favorite campsite of all time

    Absolutely adore this campground. Much of what others have said in the reviews is true – the sites are small and there’s not a ton of privacy in many spots (although you certainly can find more private spots if you know which to book). But none of this is really matters given the location. Less than 10 minute walk to downtown Provincetown, and an extremely safe, enjoyable walk. You cannot beat the access to one of the best towns in the world. The campground also felt very safe and incredibly quiet.

    Fort Getty Campground

    Great Park Just Not for Camping

    Forty Getty Park RV Campground seems like a great location, with a good bit of history and a lot to offer to anyone visiting, which is why I was eager to visit it this past weekend while traveling through the Jamestown area of Rhode Island. I'd still call it a great place to visit, just not the best to attempt to stay at overnight or camp at. That is something else entirely in this case. 

    THE GOOD👍 Again, an absolutely gorgeous location on the shores of Jamestown😍 that being the park, NOT the campgrounds. The campground itself🏕 and particularly the⛺️ tenting section are pretty far removed from any of that and the water itself in reality. 

    THE Bad. In actuality, the campground looks to be a complete afterthought. More like, What should we do with this little grassy area next to the RV park?... oh maybe that can be for tents! Or,. Where the hell are we going to fit some tents⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️around here? Oh, I know, how about over on the hill by the bathrooms?🚻 next to the RV park fencing? Oh yeah, that sounds Perfect👍 

    The Ugly There's no Ugly. The people seem nice, the park is great,t and everyone working there was polite and courteous. It's just a shame they haven't given any real consideration to the camping section or provided a real space for campers to come enough the area. What you're left with is a grassy knoll with a bunch of tent sites tightly clustered together and right next to or on top of the RV park in a way that didn't seem necessary.
