ScoutWe had plans on both sides of the state line, so the location worked really well for our trip. We spent one day around Massachusetts and another up toward New Hampshire without having to relocate the RV. Nice option if your trip isn’t centered around just one destination.
ScoutNothing beats cooking breakfast outside on a cool Connecticut morning. Coffee tasted especially good on this trip.
ScoutWe travel in a larger RV and always check campground access before deciding where to stay. We were able to get situated without turning arrival day into an ordeal, which anyone with a big rig knows is a win.
ScoutWe picked this campground because we wanted to explore both Connecticut and Rhode Island without changing campsites halfway through the trip. It worked really well for that. We spent most of the day out exploring and came back in the evening to make dinner at the RV. Much more relaxing than bouncing between hotels.
TravelerI recently spent 5 days here camping with my dog and my family and we enjoyed it immensely! The staff was all extremely kind, helpful, and they worked hard to keep the campground clean. The bathrooms especially wete always clean. Its nice to be able to be comfortably in the woods while also having other amenities within 15-20 minute driving to pick up things we forgot or a little adventure. The sites were huge and had plenty of space for all our stuff and were all extremely well maintained.
ScoutReally nice little campground. We loved how peaceful it was, especially in the mornings when the lake was quiet. We made coffee, sat outside by the camper, and watched the water before starting our day. The campground was clean and our hookups worked perfectly. Nothing complicated or overdone, just a comfortable place to camp and enjoy being outside. We would definitely return.
ScoutStayed for a weekend. Staff was super friendly and the park was very clean. Enjoyed some fishing and caught some small trout with my kids. Very relaxing and enjoyed our stay.
ScoutWe brought the camper for a quick two-night getaway and spent most of our time doing absolutely nothing. Cooked outside, read a little, and finally slowed down for a weekend.
ScoutWe wanted somewhere outside the city where we could stay with our RV but still be close enough to drive into Boston for the day. Berry’s Grove worked really well for that. After spending the day sightseeing, it was nice coming back somewhere quiet and relaxing by the lake.
Campsites near Millis, Massachusetts offer diverse camping experiences within 30 miles of greater Boston. The region features a mix of state parks and private campgrounds spread across eastern Massachusetts's mixed hardwood forests at elevations between 200-400 feet. Most camping areas operate seasonally from April through October, with water access available at several locations in the nearby Neponset River watershed.
Hiking trails: Harold Parker State Forest offers numerous wooded paths for exploration. "Lots of biking/hiking/walking trails, a nice small pond/beach, boat access, a few basketball courts, a volleyball court and a common huge fire pit added to the fun," notes one visitor to Lorraine Park Campground.
Waterfront activities: Several campgrounds feature water access for swimming or paddling. At Ponkapoag Camp, "The pond itself is a wonderful place for kayaking and canoeing. There are several rocky boulders poking out of the water that make fun spots to discover."
Historical exploration: The area provides access to Revolutionary War sites. "Easy to get into Boston by train. Level sites, quiet, and very clean restrooms make this a perfect spot for touring historic Boston, Concord, & Lexington," writes a camper at Spacious Skies Minute Man.
Private sites: Wooded campsites offer seclusion at several parks. "Sites are more secluded than other camp grounds but can be a bit small. Bathrooms are nice and dumpsters available for trash," shares a Wompatuck State Park visitor.
Clean facilities: Multiple campgrounds maintain well-kept bathhouses. One George Washington camper reports, "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)."
Transportation access: Many appreciate the proximity to public transit for Boston day trips. A Circle Campground Farm camper shares, "We did Boston (caught the train), Salem, mystic seaport, Sturbridge village, plymouth rock, the Mayflower ship, and plymouth plantation spending no more than 1hr and 20 min at the most in the car!"
Price variations: Costs differ significantly between state parks and private campgrounds. For Wompatuck State Park, a camper notes, "For out-of-state visitors, the cost might not be justifiable, with rates of $17-23 per night for in-state visitors and $60 for out of staters. Sites offer electric hookups only."
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance bookings, especially for weekends. Sites fill quickly during peak season from June through August.
Alcohol regulations: Rules vary between locations. "Only complaint about Massachusetts state parks is no alcohol even while sitting in your site," observes one George Washington State Campground visitor.
Activity planning: Choose campgrounds with organized programming for children. At Canoe River Campground, "This was my first summer back and I was so happy to return! Now bringing my children, my 6 year old says it's his favorite campground. Lots of things for the kids."
Pool options: Several campgrounds offer swimming facilities during summer months. "Heated pool, laundry, Wi-Fi that works, cable, 50 amp FHU. Roads are a little interesting to navigate, and definitely aren't the straight lines on their map! Good fire pit and nice facilities," reports a Spacious Skies Minute Man camper.
Site selection: Request spots away from common areas for quieter family camping. "If you prefer a noisy fun experience and a more social experience with your very close neighbors, this is the spot for you. Our preferred style of camping requires more space and less noise."
Hookup availability: Most private campgrounds offer full hookups with 50-amp service. "No issues with water, sewer, electric, and cable. I was on site 87 and was able to level on the first try. The campground is a little tight with a big rig (40' motorhome pulling a vehicle on a dolly)," notes a Circle Campground Farm visitor.
Site spacing: Consider premium sites for larger rigs. "The sites are a decent size and consist mainly of gravel and grass. Not all sites have a fire pit so be sure to book one if you want a fire pit. The WiFi was better than most places we have camped at."
Navigation challenges: Some campgrounds have narrow interior roads. "Roads are a little narrow which made backing in a little challenging. I had to use other sites to complete the back-in process. If those sites were occupied, that would have been real interesting."
