    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Developed campgrounds near Sharon, Massachusetts range from family-friendly resorts to more traditional state park facilities. Normandy Farms Campground, located in nearby Foxborough, represents the higher-end spectrum with extensive amenities including multiple pools, planned activities, and various accommodation types from tent sites to cabins and yurts. Canoe River Campground in Mansfield offers a more basic camping experience with tent, RV, and cabin options. The region includes several state parks and recreation areas within a 30-minute drive, including Wompatuck State Park and Ponkapoag Camp, which provide year-round camping opportunities in a more natural setting.

    Seasonal considerations heavily influence campground operations in the area. Most campgrounds operate from April through November, with Normandy Farms running from April 1 to November 30 and Canoe River open from April 15 to October 15. A visitor noted, "This place is pretty awesome if you're looking to see a show at the nearby Comcast center. It's cheap, quiet, and affordable and very close to the venue." Winter camping options are limited, with only a few facilities like Ponkapoag Camp operating year-round. Campground amenities vary significantly across the region, with most offering basic facilities such as drinking water, electric hookups, and fire rings. Proximity to Boston makes these campgrounds popular for weekend getaways, so advance reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for summer weekends and holiday periods.

    Many campers specifically mention the family-friendly atmosphere at several campgrounds in the Sharon area. Reviews highlight the extensive recreational opportunities at Normandy Farms, which one camper described as "resort camping" with "4 pools, big dog park, disc golf course, bike park, many fields, full program of events, pristine bathrooms and much more." Some reviewers note the close proximity of campsites at several facilities, with mixed feedback on noise levels. Campers seeking a quieter experience may prefer state park campgrounds like Wompatuck, while those looking for extensive amenities and organized activities gravitate toward the private campgrounds. Mixed-use campgrounds providing both tent and RV sites are common in the area, though tent-specific sections are available at most locations. Several campgrounds also provide convenient access to local attractions, including Gillette Stadium and the Xfinity Center.

      Fort Getty Campground

      Great location!

      Fort Getty campground was in an incredible location to Jamestown and with many things to do in the park itself. The tent sites are open field style and some groups can get big so be ready for that. We had tent site 6 and it was tucked back in its own little area which was an awesome surprise. Overall we had a quick stay and everyone we encountered was friendly, bathrooms are older but a short walk from tent area. The access the Jamestown and the surrounding areas and views is what makes this place totally worth it!

      Mashamoquet Brook Campground — Mashamoquet Brook State Park

      Cozy Rustic Campground

      Due to the heat wave, I opted not to spend the night, but we did roll through and check out the area. First thing we noticed is how close and open the sites were, with a few exceptions. I attached photos of the more secluded sites I plan to choose next time. Site 49 is what I had reserved and it was large and partially secluded. The bathroom buildings are boarded up across the campground and state park with port o potties in front. I was not eager to check those out… a bucket started feeling like the safer option lol It was quiet but on the more secluded sites, there was ample road noise and you could see the road from some sites. I didn’t get a chance to look for the walkway to the park and river, but I plan to next time. The state park and river nearby was beautiful and quiet and serene with smattering Fourth of July picnics. Overall, I plan to return here when the weather is more cooperative and my car camper is better equipped :)

      Indianhead Resort

      Worst place to RV

      Long review from a long-term camper, but if you’re considering staying here, it’s worth the read so you know what you’re paying for. My husband and I have stayed here for the past three years, and this year has been, without question, the worst experience we’ve had. We prepaid for a 6-month stay, expecting a quiet, well-managed campground. Instead, we’ve dealt with inconsistency, poor communication, and management that seems focused on the wrong priorities. Before the campground was even fully open, we came to prepare our camper because there were already other campers on the property. While we were there, a woman repeatedly followed us around and watched us before finally approaching us. Rather than treating us like returning guests who have stayed here for years, we were made to feel like we didn’t belong and were questioned as if we were trespassing or trying to live here for free. Ironically, people who don’t even pay to stay here regularly park on the property to use the lake without anyone questioning them. Apparently, paying customers receive more scrutiny than people who aren’t customers at all. Because of that interaction, we were told we couldn’t return for weeks. When we were finally allowed back, our electricity hadn’t even been turned on, and we had to wait while no one seemed particularly concerned about getting it working. Then, completely out of the blue, we were told we had a past-due balance that had supposedly existed all along. At no point were we ever notified. No phone call. No email. No letter. No conversation. Yet somehow we were expected to fix a problem we didn’t even know existed. Meanwhile, the issues that actually affect paying guests continue to be ignored. On weekends and almost every holiday, large groups takes over the campground with 20+ tents, blasting music well into the night and early morning with absolutely no respect for the people who actually pay to stay here. They spread out wherever they want, take over common areas, and even park in front of occupied campsites to the point that we’ve had trouble getting into our own site. Even worse, people were plugging into our electrical service without permission, causing our camper to repeatedly short circuit. We eventually had to install a lock on our own electrical box because management did nothing to stop it after it was brought to their attention. That’s what makes this so frustrating. Management seems incredibly quick to police long-term residents over minor issues, yet has no problem looking the other way while other people take over the campground, block campsites, disturb everyone around them, use utilities they aren’t paying for, damage property, and ignore every basic campground rule. The former management understood that people who spend thousands of dollars to stay here deserve a safe, enjoyable, and well-managed campground. Rules were enforced. Problems were addressed. Paying guests mattered. Now it feels like the people causing the problems face no consequences, while the people paying to be here are the ones expected to tolerate them. I also wouldn’t recommend this campground for families. The“playground” looks like it hasn’t been properly maintained in a very long time and honestly looks like it could earn a child a tetanus shot instead of a fun afternoon. The basketball hoop has been broken, and the laundry area is tucked behind some of the dirtiest bathrooms on the property, surrounded by overgrown grass. None of it reflects the kind of campground this used to be. It’s disappointing because this campground had so much potential and used to be a place we genuinely enjoyed returning to every year. Unfortunately, poor management and a complete lack of consistency have changed that. If you are looking for a campground, there are way better options in the surrounding area with better amenities and better people.

      Hanscom AFB FamCamp

      Worst Military Campground

      Published rules are can only be here for 30 days with a three week extension possible. The fact is at least half of the spaces are occupied by full time residents with one resident stating she has been here for two years. The airfield noise is excessive during the day. The airfield closes at 11 PM so at least it is not all night long. We booked a pull through and they wanted to put us in a small back in site with shared utilities. I put my foot down and was given a pull through. On a positive note, the bath house is clean and the laundry room is not over priced

      Hide-A-Way Cove Campground

      Just okay

      When we arrived at our site we were instantly greeted with an angry resident. He started shooing us away as we were trying to park our camper at our site. He needed to back out and leave but we had only been there no more than 3 minutes before he popped up angrily. There are a lot of long term campers there. Very very unkept campers. Broken down, damaged, some look unlivable. Some may not like the dozens of cats everywhere, but I did. It’s fun to spot a new cat roaming around the campground. The pool is nice and clean. The playground is cute. The Arcade is not worth going to. A lot of the games were broken or empty. Bikes are NOT allowed. My 8 year old son was riding his bike and we were told he couldn’t do that at this campground. The pond/beach area is beautiful. You can try fishing in it. We didn’t catch anything. I definitely don’t suggest swimming in it. It’s not clean enough for that. Camp “store” is very minimal in what they have. Mostly little candy and some minor essentials. There is also a little restaurant attached to the camp store. I like that the sites were grass and not dirt. Or site did not have sewer. We had to go to the dump station to empty black water.

      Newport RV Park

      Clean sites, good location.

      We stayed here a number of years ago when it was Milleville Ponds Campground and what an improvement! The park is really clean, well mowed, well-packed gravel roads and camping pads. No problem for big-rigs. There are some seasonals but their sites were tidy. About half the campsites are in the woods and half in the open. There are some deluxe sites with paved patios and nicer fire pits but they are really close together and no shade. We really liked our site (#400) which was gravel, long and level. (We would choose 401 if we came back.) The patio had nice grass which our dog loved. The utilities were well-placed and the electric legs were good at 124 volts. I called to see if there was cable tv because there was a connection on our post and was told that some sites had cable. But, when I hooked it up, we didn’t get any channels; however, we got about 60 over-the-air tv channels. Great wifi. Not much for amenities, just a pavilion and playground. There is a public dog park just outside the park that is really big and you can walk a ¼ mile to a hiking trail. There are three airstreams and a 3-bedroom house for rent. The bath house is centrally located. Unfortunately, they are not super close to the tent sites and there is no path through campsites so you either have to walk around or cut through someone’s site. It took us anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to get downtown (depending on traffic). There are few restaurants nearby and a grocery less than ten minutes away. Overall, we liked how clean and well-kept the park was and enjoyed our site. We stayed eight nights with the average nightly cost at $81and would come back if in the area.

      Indianhead Resort

      Great Old School Campground

      We had a great stay at Indianhead Resort! The management was wonderful and very helpful. The sites were very spacious and private, which made it feel relaxing and comfortable for our family. The playgrounds are a little older, but our two-year-old absolutely loved the swings and had a great time. Overall, it was a great family-friendly campground experience!

      Gibson Hill RV Park

      Worst I've Been To Blatant Deceptive Advertising

      Let me save you from making a grave mistake. The campground was quiet. That's the best thing I can say about Gibson Hill after spending a week there. Totally unkempt and in disarray. The roads are a rocky, dusty rutted mess. The campsites while some newly graveled, not well I might add, are not level. The electric at my site kept tripping off. I finally discovered, with no help from the non-existent management, that the service disconnect breaker was bad. Luckily I had an extra 30A cord and was able to plug into the unoccupied adjacent site. How this abomination has any 5 star reviews is above my pay grade. During the week we were here we never saw a camp representative. We were not welcomed by anyone affiliated with the campground and I never saw anyone on duty in the office. The is NO weekly entertainment. There is NO weekly bonfire. THERE IS NO POOL. Our site had no picnic table and no fire ring and had areas dotted with clumps of gray fur. Obviously noone had inspected our site for cleanliness prior to our arrival. Our first visitor was a 4' rat snake. There was debris strewn all over the grounds. There was one trash container. Unlined and uncovered. No dog poop bags or signs regarding poop pickup. There was a lot of demolition but no new construction ongoing. The“pool” is a 4’ deep square under construction and far from being completed. The“resort” signage was a joke. It took me 3 tries to find my way out of the campground. The entrance sign is installed parallel to the road rather than perpendicular to it for visibility. The number of decrepit or abandoned trailers on site was unbelievable. We were never told if the campground was under new management and/or under going refurbishment. In any event it was missing the mark. Unfortunately we paid for a week in advance so we were stuck here. NEVER AGAIN. I’m leaving this truthful review so no other potential campers are duped into staying here. Definitely an absentee owner who doesn't have a clue. Really too bad because the location and grounds have enormous potential. I will let Happy Grounds and RV LIFE know of my great disappointment and suspect reviews. By the way, to the reviewer who said they enjoyed the pool. THERE IS NO POOL. There is NO on-site management.

      Holiday Acres Campground

      Worse campground ever

      There site map lies. Noisy people. Tons of loud kids. Uneven site. Marijuana smoke by me. Was to stay 3 nights but left the next morning. Total nightmare. And the dust. Even with everything shut up it fill the RV.


    Guide to Sharon

    Camping sites near Sharon, Massachusetts offer year-round opportunities in diverse settings including state parks, military campgrounds, and private resorts. The region sits at elevations between 200-400 feet above sea level with dense New England forest cover dominating most campgrounds. Winter temperatures frequently drop below freezing from December through March, affecting which sites remain operational during colder months.

    What to do

    Hiking trails exploration: Harold Parker State Forest has an extensive network of trails through wooded areas and around ponds. One camper noted, "Lots of hiking 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." The forest offers diverse terrain for all experience levels.

    Mountain biking: Wompatuck State Park Campground features beginner-friendly trails for cyclists. A reviewer mentioned it has "God access to some beginner flowy mountain bike trails," making it suitable for families and casual riders. Trails range from wide, smooth paths to more technical sections.

    Water activities: Seasonal fishing opportunities exist at multiple campgrounds. At Ponkapoag Camp, campers report "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." Water levels can vary throughout the season.

    Historical exploration: The area provides access to significant Revolutionary War sites. One camper staying at Hanscom AFB FamCamp mentioned it's "Close to minute man historical sites - revolutionary war historical trails and Ranger Station. Not too far from Boston." Many historical sites offer free or low-cost guided tours.

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the spacing between sites at certain campgrounds. At Lorraine Park Campground, campers noted "The site are huge with space in between. They keep the bathrooms very clean." Site privacy varies significantly between campgrounds and specific site numbers.

    Proximity to entertainment venues: The location of some campgrounds makes them ideal for concert-goers. At Canoe River Campground, one camper stated it's "pretty awesome if you're looking to see a show at the nearby Comcast center. It's cheap, quiet, and affordable and very close (maybe ten mins or less to the venue)."

    Urban escape opportunities: Despite being close to Boston, many campgrounds provide a true wilderness feel. A Lorraine Park camper mentioned, "Close to town, but feels like you are in the middle of nowhere!" Several campers value this balance of accessibility and seclusion.

    Dog-friendly options: Most campgrounds in the area permit leashed pets. Boston/Cape Cod KOA welcomes pets, while at Ponkapoag Camp a camper mentioned bringing "our pup for his first camping experience and he loved it too." Some campgrounds have designated pet exercise areas.

    What you should know

    Reservation timing: Many campgrounds fill quickly, especially during peak season. For Boston Harbor Islands State Park Campground, "These sites book quickly, so you should try to book 7 months to the day in advance." Most campgrounds accept reservations between 6-12 months in advance.

    Site selection considerations: Some campgrounds have significant variation between sites. At Boston/Cape Cod KOA, a camper advised, "I have learned that you really need to upgrade to the better campsites to enjoy your stay...I'll never book The basic campsite again I'll pay the few extra dollars to have a bigger site it's so worth it."

    Access logistics: Some campgrounds have complicated access procedures. Boston Harbor Islands requires "Getting to the island was a bit of a hassle. We live in Boston and took all of our gear on the T to the harbor by the aquarium. We then took the ferry to Georges Island. After that we waited and got on a much smaller island to Lovells."

    Military-only options: Hanscom AFB FamCamp offers an affordable option but is restricted to military personnel and veterans. A camper noted it's a "Military only campground. Working on improving the grounds and services available. Limited sites available off season."

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming options: Multiple campgrounds offer water access for cooling off. Massasoit State Park Campground has a swimming area where "The boys had a blast swimming and kayaking at the pond and there was another comfort station right at the water."

    Playground availability: When traveling with children, accessible play areas matter. Circle Campground Farm has a playground, but one camper noted it's "fairly basic and on the older side with the playground and pool. We still had a great time."

    Organized activities: Normandy Farms Campground provides structured entertainment for children. A visitor observed, "We were here a couple years ago and told everyone we knew about it...Kids and adults alike love it. What's not to love. It's the kind of place summer camping trip memories are made of. 4 pools, fishing pond, lodge, trivia night, soccer, baseball, softball and frisbee golf and so much more."

    Educational opportunities: Some campgrounds offer learning experiences. At Harold Parker State Forest, "A ranger ran a program to teach about the area fauna which was pretty interesting for kids and adults alike." These programs typically run on weekend mornings during summer months.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven sites. At Wompatuck State Park, one RVer mentioned, "I was disappointed with our assigned spot. Despite seeing several other sites that could have accommodated our rig size, K05 was the only option available when booking online. The site was small and tight."

    Seasonal operation schedules: Most RV-friendly campgrounds have limited seasonal availability. The Boston/Cape Cod KOA operates "March 15 to November 15," while Normandy Farms runs from "April 1 to November 30." Always check specific opening dates when planning trips outside summer months.

    Hookup variations: Utility access differs significantly between campgrounds. At Circle Campground Farm, an RVer noted, "No issues with water, sewer, electric, and cable. I was on site 87 and was able to level on the first try." Some sites offer full hookups while others provide only electric or water.
