Best Campgrounds near Lakeville, MA

690 Reviews

Camping options surrounding Lakeville, Massachusetts include several established campgrounds within a 30-mile radius, catering to various camping preferences. Massasoit State Park Campground in E. Taunton provides both tent and RV sites with electric hookups, while Boston/Cape Cod KOA in Middleboro offers a full range of accommodations including tent sites, RV hookups, cabins and glamping options. Most campgrounds in the region maintain seasonal operations, typically opening from May through October, with only a few facilities like Shawme Crowell State Forest Campground operating year-round.

Reservations are strongly recommended for all developed campgrounds in the area, particularly during summer weekends and holiday periods. Massasoit State Park features electric hookups and water access, though several reviews note that the campground lacks sewer hookups. Nearby Myles Standish State Forest offers additional camping opportunities with boat-in, drive-in and walk-in access. The region experiences typical New England weather patterns with warm summers and cold winters, making the May-October camping season most comfortable. As one camper noted, "Great campsite. The comfort stations were clean and well maintained and close to all the sites. The sites had both a firepit with a flip grill as well as an upright grill."

Campers frequently mention the pond access and swimming opportunities at Massasoit State Park as highlights of their experience. The campground provides a beach area for swimming, though reviews indicate mixed experiences with the swimming facilities. Several visitors appreciate the extensive trail systems available for hiking and biking throughout the state parks in the region. Family-friendly amenities are common at the larger established campgrounds like Boston/Cape Cod KOA, which offers numerous organized activities. However, some reviews indicate that certain campgrounds can become crowded during peak season. A visitor remarked, "The sites are close, some have vegetation between but then there isn't any trees to hang tent from." For those seeking more seclusion, the non-electric sites at Massasoit State Park (Loops C and D) reportedly offer more wooded privacy than the developed areas.

    Boston/Cape Cod KOA

    Koa Cape Cod

    Stayed in several KOAs over last few weeks. I would say needs attention. Appearance is not up to standard. Restrooms and grounds are not as clean by comparison.

    Normandy Farms Campground

    Loud and crowded!

    Know what you are getting... This is a family resort that charges$20/per night, per person, OVER the two people rate. It is loud, crowded, with golf carts and kids running around. It is a resort campground with pools, frisbee court and etc... This is not a quiet, restful place to stay to visit Boston and the surrounding area or to visit family in town. Entry is gated and controlled. Want to bring your college daughter back after dinner- forget it,$20 for her and$20 her friend, for 1-2 hour visit after 7:00 PM at night! When we return, we will stay at Spacious Skies CG or the state park. The cost and inconvenience is not worth it!

    Fishermens Memorial State Park Campground

    Close to a beach, serenity hiding in city life

    Some areas to hike on a small scale. Nice view of the water. No ocean views. Many unlevel sites. Fairly close together.

    Dunes' Edge Campground - Provincetown Camping

    Very nice and quiet camp ground.

    A very nice and quiet camp ground. No generators, and air conditioners allowed, just the noise of nature. Also, no dish washing at camp sites. You must use one of the two wash stations.

    Very friendly staff and clean facilities, and they believe in recycling. Just watch the pot hole on the way in.

    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
