Best Campgrounds near Taunton, MA

720 Reviews

Campgrounds near Taunton, Massachusetts range from state parks to private resorts, with several options within a 20-mile radius. Massasoit State Park Campground in East Taunton provides established camping with both tent and RV sites, while more developed options like Normandy Farms Campground in Foxborough and Boston/Cape Cod KOA in Middleboro offer full amenities including cabins and glamping accommodations. The region includes a mix of wooded settings and open areas, with most campgrounds operating seasonally from spring through fall.

Camping availability in southeastern Massachusetts typically runs from April through November, with most facilities closing during winter months. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for weekend stays during summer when campgrounds reach capacity. Many campers report high satisfaction with the region's accessibility. "This campground was in a perfect location. Walkable to town filled with lively music, restaurants and shops," noted one visitor about a Cape Cod area campground. Weather conditions remain mild through most of the camping season, though occasional storms can impact outdoor activities. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region, and most established campgrounds provide at least basic amenities like drinking water and restrooms.

The camping experience varies significantly between state parks and private campgrounds in the area. State facilities like Wompatuck State Park Campground and Massasoit State Park offer more natural settings with fewer amenities but typically at lower cost. According to one camper, "Wompatuck was a beautiful place to spend a few summer days, and we would definitely visit again!" Private resorts like Normandy Farms provide extensive facilities including pools, recreation areas, and various accommodation types, though at premium prices. Several campgrounds in the area feature proximity to water bodies, hiking trails, or bicycle paths. Mixed-use campgrounds accommodating both tent and RV camping are common, with many sites offering electric hookups and water access. Proximity to Boston, Cape Cod, and Rhode Island beaches makes the Taunton area a convenient base for exploring southeastern New England.

    Green Falls Campground

    Inexpensive and primitive

    We like Green Falls. Again, it is inexpensive and kinda primitive, but it sure also quiet and a real woods camping environment. Take a hike around the pond, fish and swim in season, and enjoy a laid back approach to your time here.

    Mount Misery Campground

    Great spot for no frills camping

    We loved Mt. Misery. We spent $17/night, and we know what to expect at that price point. We stayed during fall foliage season and even though CT has had a drought this year, there were still pretty colors to see. We hiked to the overlook of Mt. Misery and had a great time geocaching and enjoying the trails. We found the campsites to be decent, and a number of them did afford privacy and space, we had 4 people and 3 dogs on our site, and had plenty of room for our travel trailer and 2 tents. We will be back here for sure.

    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.

    Burlingame State Park Campground

    Giant area to pick a spot!

    So half the camp ground is closed for bathroom renovations but that still left the whole other half open and the whole campground by the water! The showers aren’t good, but that always comes with coin showers and not being able to choose the temperature. Site wise no one was around us so it was extra quiet and the park rangers are always around so always help if you need it. Walmart is less than ten minutes away too if you’re needing anything. Great location and best park in Rhode Island. Can’t wait to go back and have the bathroom renovations done!

    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.

    Mount Misery Campground

    Lived up to its name

    Sites/facilities were as expected and I could have been very satisfied with our 1 night stay.  There are a lot of rules for camping here, which is confusing because there does not appear to be anyone to enforce them.  Late arrivals? Noise? I suspect that the couple who pulled into the site next to ours after 10PM with two cars and an infant are homeless and poached the site.  They were not there for the hiking or the camping experience and their infant child screamed or babbled through most of the night.  That plus the adults talking, car doors opening and closing, engine running, baby einstein videos playing...  In the morning they packed up and left.  I'm not an advocate of criminalizing homelessness, but if you are looking for a night in the woods listening to crickets and owls, this is not the place.

    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.
