Best Glamping near Mendon, MA

Sutton Falls Camping Area and Wells State Park feature upscale outdoor accommodations for travelers seeking comfort without sacrificing nature. Both locations offer glamping yurts and premium canvas structures with many of the comforts of home, including electricity, comfortable beds with quality linens, and climate control options. According to a camper, "Glamp 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 with bamboo linens, pillows, and comforter included." The glamping sites provide considerably more space and amenities than traditional camping, with furnished interiors featuring couches, lanterns, and games. Some locations include private bathrooms or well-maintained communal facilities with hot showers and flush toilets nearby.

Seasonal availability for glamping accommodations varies, with Sutton Falls operating April through October and Wells State Park open May to October. One visitor noted, "Optional extras include dinner in a cast iron pot delivered in the evening, coffee and breakfast delivered in the morning, a cooler stocked with ice and a sampling of local beer, or seltzers, or lemonade." Guests can explore hiking trails directly from their glamping sites or visit the ponds and beaches for swimming, fishing, and kayaking. The proximity to Boston (about 50 miles) makes these glamping resorts popular weekend getaways. Many locations provide fire pits with complimentary firewood and cooking equipment, eliminating the need to bring bulky camping gear. Winter glamping options are limited, so advance reservations are essential during peak summer months when yurt rentals and safari tent accommodations book quickly.

    Mystic KOA

    Awesome Sunsets at the Mystic KOA

    Didn’t quite feel like camping, but it was still a lovely weekend away at the Mystic KOA. We decided to head down to check out the aquarium and stayed at a deluxe cabin. It was cute and clean and furnished with linens, cookware, utensils, kitchen essentials, keurig coffee maker/pods, and full-sized fridge. Only complaint was an odd, musty smell we couldn’t quite figure out.

    The grounds are large with vast amounts of space. Be forewarned that it’s right off of 95, and the sound definitely carries. Trees are sparse in areas, but the sunsets were a nice trade off. Amenities seemed nice from what we could tell - cool outdoor movie screen, pools and playground, though we certainly didn’t get to enjoy these things in February.

    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!

    Mystic KOA

    Wasp Breeding Ground!

    Pros: Helpful staff, morning garbage pickup, excellent laundry facility, plenty of activities and amenities for children. Cons: Wasps!! Wasps everywhere!! We did our best to keep them at bay by lighting some sage but they were persistent. Not much privacy back in the tent/cabin areas, camp sites very close together and people have the ability to stare right into your site.

    Charge Pond Campground — Myles Standish State Forest

    Camping, biking and kayaking

    Over 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.

    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.

Guide to Mendon

Glamping experiences near Mendon, Massachusetts feature more variety than typically found in traditional campgrounds. The region sits at approximately 400 feet above sea level in Worcester County, with summer temperatures averaging 80-85°F and mild autumn nights in the 40-50°F range. Most luxury glamping sites operate between April and October, with limited winter availability outside the popular safari tents and canvas structures.

What to do

Hiking at Douglas State Forest: Located near Douglas Forest RV Resort, the forest offers miles of trails through wooded terrain. According to a visitor, "You're literally steps away from Douglas State Forest, which made morning hikes and evening strolls absolutely magical."

Swimming at Walker Pond: Wells State Park Campground provides lake access with a dedicated beach area. As one camper mentioned, "There is a nice beach for children. The water was warm and clean. You can kayak or canoe. The dogs cannot go on the beach, but they can go in the boats."

Disc Golf Courses: Several campgrounds maintain disc golf courses on their properties. A visitor at West Thompson Lake Campground noted, "Hiking trails galore, disk golf, and swimming nearby. So fun!"

Baseball and Sports Activities: Larger glamping resorts offer organized sports facilities. One camper at Normandy Farms Campground observed, "There is a really long list of amenities for this campground... baseball diamond, volleyball, fishing pond, shuffleboard, disk golf, and playground, and probably a few more things I missed."

What campers like

Multiple Swimming Options: Luxury campgrounds often feature both indoor and outdoor pools. A camper at Normandy Farms mentioned, "They have an indoor and an outdoor pool. The restrooms are clean. I highly recommend staying here."

Tranquil Waterfront Sites: Many glamping locations offer premium waterfront sites. One visitor at Sutton Falls Camping Area shared, "We were delighted when we learned we had the little peninsula of site P1 all to ourselves.

What you should know

Electricity Limitations: Some campgrounds have power constraints for luxury amenities. A visitor at Webster Sturbridge Family Campground 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. The electrical could not run our air conditioner and we had 30 amp power."

Shower Access Varies: Shower facilities differ significantly between premium and standard sites. At George Washington State Campground, a camper noted, "Bathrooms were very clean with hot showers (bring quarters, $1.50 for 6mins)."
