Best RV Parks & Resorts near Townsend, MA

RV travelers frequently use Townsend, Massachusetts as a top destination for their RV or motorhome. Within 30 miles, Minute Man Campground offers full hookup sites with 30-amp service under mature pine trees, while Camp Coldbrook Golf & RV Resorts provides electric, water, and sewer connections from April through mid-October. "The sites were spacious and level. We watched chipmunks, squirrels, hawks and other birds from our windows," noted one camper about Minute Man. Field and Stream RV Park in nearby Brookline, NH operates year-round with higher rates from October to May, featuring big-rig friendly sites with electric hookups. Beach Rose RV Park in Salisbury Beach accommodates larger motorhomes with 50-amp service and full hookups on sites available from April through mid-November.

While some parks offer luxury amenities like swimming pools and recreation halls, others focus on basic services and natural settings. Cell service varies significantly across the region, with visitors reporting 1-2 bars at most locations and limited streaming capabilities. A visitor commented, "We had to take the camp road around the entire park, then enter the loop section. Even the main roads required my wife to watch as I cleared tree trunks; it was difficult to snake our little trailer around the bends." Dump stations are available at most parks, though not all sites offer sewer hookups. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard restrictions. During fall foliage season, advance reservations become essential as parks fill quickly. Several campgrounds close for winter, typically from late October through April, with only Field and Stream remaining open year-round for those needing off-season accommodations.

    Douglas Forest RV Resort

    Awesome Campground In The Forest

    We had an incredible stay at Douglas Forest RV Resort! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how peaceful and well-maintained everything was. The RV sites are spacious and easy to navigate, with full hookups and strong Wi-Fi— a big plus for us since we work remotely on the road. What really sets this place apart is the location. You’re literally steps away from Douglas State Forest, which made morning hikes and evening strolls absolutely magical. It’s pet-friendly too, and our dog loved the wooded trails and open areas. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the camp store had everything we needed. Even though the recreation area is still being built, the amenities already in place more than made up for it. We’re already planning our next trip for summer when the pool opens! If you’re looking for a relaxing spot that blends nature with convenience, look no further. Douglas Forest RV Resort is a true hidden gem!

    Normandy Farms Campground

    Huge park with lots of amenities and activities

    We planned a brief stop in the Boston area with the intent of seeing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and Normandy Farms appealed to us for various reasons. One reason was the fact that they have dog walkers that will come to your site and take care of your precious pooch while you are away. Not knowing how long we would be away from the campground that service was a great option. As it turned out, we did not need to use this service but for some it would be a great perk if you were going to be gone all day. And with Boston traffic, we can see how that could happen. By the way, the library is well-worth it.

    When you enter Normandy Farms it is more like checking into a hotel than campground complete with a concierge and express check-in. The park is gated and a code is needed to enter and leave giving you a sense of security but I’m not sure it is necessary. Driving in you quickly realize how huge this park is with some 400 RV sites, tent sites, yurts, lean-to’s, safari tents, and cabins. 

    There are plenty of sites to choose from the “premium” full hook-up (50 amp) to basic with just water and electric and many others in between. Both back-in and pull thrus are available as are sites with shade and full sun. Premium sites have paved patios while other sites are gravel. Roads are paved and plenty wide enough for big RV’s to navigate. They offer cable television that yielded nearly 100 channels. Wifi worked well at our site and other places throughout the park. All sites come with a fire pit and picnic table. 

    We chose a paved full hook-up pull thru with paved patio (Site E1). Our site was easy to navigate in and out of and was definitely big rig-friendly with ample space for our motorhome and tow car. All utilities were well-placed and functioned properly. The site was level. At the time we were there in October the campground was not very busy but we imagine that things get a little crazy when the park is full. 

    There is a really long list of amenities for this campground….four pools (include an indoor heated one), fitness room (with elliptical, treadmills, bikes, machine and free weights), creative arts center, camp store, 20,000 square-foot activities building (with adult only lounge, pool table, arcade, games, wide-screen televisions, sauna, Jacuzzi), restaurant, huge off-leash dog park (you can reserve individual day kennels), BMX bike park, horse shoe pits, baseball diamond, volleyball, fishing pond, shuffleboard, disk golf, and playground, and probably a few more things I missed. During the busy summer months there is a long list of activities ranging from yoga to kids games.

    Normandy Farms is approximately 35 miles from Boston. If you don’t want to drive to the city, you can park at the nearby train or subway station and ride into the city. You are just five miles from Gillette Stadium (home of the New England Patriots) and Patriot Place (a hub for shopping and dining). About a mile from the campground is Foxboro State Park where you will find 20+ miles of hiking trails. Also within a five mile radius are plenty of restaurants, shopping, hardware store, grocery store, and more. 

    Some of the really good features are the huge dog park which has a dog washing station, water fountains for dogs and humans, agility-type obstacles for them to play on, dog kennels, and a bin with balls and Frisbees. I also liked (and used daily) the fitness center which had functioning equipment and a large television to help pass the time while working out – and was never crowded. The large community building has and adult-only lounge which serves as a nice place for people to get together and watch television or hang out without kids. With everything this campground has to offer you can see why it is a destination park for some people as their kids would be busy all day. 

    The downside really is the price and how many sites there are. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway this is not it.

    Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Sturbridge - [CLOSED}

    Pine lake , Sturbridge Ma.

    I’m told that this used to be Jellystone. 

    It’s now called Pine Lake Rv and cottages.

    Not knowing what the previous campground was like I can’t compare. But the new owners surely did a total revamp. There is approximately 30 cottages and many pull through and back in sites for any size RV.

    The bathroom/showers were all new and very nice and clean. It seems to be very family friendly. There’s an 8 acre lake with kayaks and fishing, a basketball court,   a game pavilion and a well stocked store. The RV sites are   spacious and pretty close to near perfect level.

    The problems I came across was there were very few places to dispose of camp trash, I had to actually walk around looking for one. The camp store doesn’t open until 9:00AM and closes at 4:00PM

     If you can, try and NOT stay on the back upper level ( the 700 ) spots. It’s around 100 feet from a very busy road and loud !

    Spacious Skies French Pond

    Comes with a surprise French Pond

    The campground has a gravel area at the sites where the fire ring and picnic tables are. Where we parked our trailer was some gravel sand and dirt. We were at the end of a lane, backing in was fine we are small, 21 feet including tongue, we fit fine. Great site across from a beach, on French Pond I’m guessing is at least 25 acres. Most of the sights are long term. Camp was pretty much full, even then it was quiet. Restroom closed to covid, some campgrounds kept them open and just cleaned more. Well no complaint here we’re self contained. Some areas could use some tidying up. Still I would gladly stay here again.

Through Traffic in campground: Some traffic down to parking lot. Electric Hookup: Yes Sewer Hookup: No. Dump Station: Yes Potable Water Available: At the site. Generators: I think all trailer sites have electrical hookups. Bathroom: Yes - old. Showers: Yes - old style. Dressing area is not private. Pull Throughs: All are back in.

The RV Field area is only good as a convenient spot to visit nearby Salem attractions or Boston (1 hr plus drive through heavy traffic).

    Forest Lake Campgrounds

    Weekend stay, lots of seasonal camping

    Site was clean, easy to get in/out with 21' travel trailer. Swimming at the beach wasn't inviting. Lots of seasonal campers with years of lawn ornaments. There was a sense of the campground being clicky place. Pet friendly. Mixed emotions....

    Sea Coast Camping and RV Resort

    Great Location, Very Clean

    We really liked this park! It was clean, very well cared for, supper nice people and a decent price($43/night) for camping in coastal New England. The park recently added new 50-amp full hook-up sites (some of which are pull-thrus) so there are plenty of options for big-rigs. Half of the park is seasonal campers (which is a lot more cramped and more junked up) and the other half is for transients. The two sides are separated by a tree line where the tent sites are located. The park is in a good location and pretty close to the beach, restaurants, shopping and access to Route 1. You are also just twenty minutes or so to Portsmouth and Newburyport which are some of our favorite New England coastal towns. 

    Our site (#124) was one of the new sites which they had just completed. It was a gravel back-in which was plenty long and level. They recently seeded the area so new grass was starting to grow. The roads in the park are fairly narrow and we had to drive over the grass across from our site in order to back in. Lucky for us nobody was parked in that site. We hate driving over grass as our coach can really make some ruts, but we had no choice in this situation. The ground was dry and hard so we didn’t make deep ruts. The park does not have cable and we were not able to get reception on our satellite because of the trees and could not get any over-the-air channels. No television was fine because we enjoyed sitting by a campfire after our long day of exploring. We had a picnic table that was kind of small if you had 4-6 people but fine for just two of us. Our firepit was a light weight portable one which we could move. The older sites had heavy fire rings that were not to be moved. None of the sites have a lot of space between them and I bet this park could feel quite cramped when it was full. We were there in the off-season (May) and didn’t have any neighbors so it was pretty quiet. 

    There are not too many amenities in the park which was fine for us since we really don’t use them. There was a very large playground, horseshoe pits, shuffleboard, basketball, and camp store. This park really cares about appearance and grounds-keeping is top notch. Our site had a nice grassy space with a small garden planted with flowers. The laundry was very nice, clean and had big front-loading machines. Check-in was super easy and fast. All the staff were very nice. 

    About 5 miles to the east is Hampton Beach and a little farther is the town of Rye which are worth the drive. There we discovered Ray’s Seafood and Petey’s Summertime Seafood where you can get a great meal right next to the water. After lunch pop over to Wallis Sand Beach for an afternoon relaxing by the sea. We love visiting the Kittery Trading Post (in Maine) which is a good outdoor outfitter and eating at Bob’s Clam Hut.


Guide to Townsend

Campgrounds near Townsend, Massachusetts offer varying experiences across seasons. The region sits in the northern portion of Worcester County at elevations ranging from 300-500 feet, creating distinct microclimates that impact camping conditions throughout the year. Forested campgrounds often maintain cooler temperatures than surrounding areas, with temperature differences of 5-10 degrees in summer months. Most rv parks Townsend, Massachusetts adjacent follow a seasonal schedule with limited winter options.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: At Sandy Beach Campground, campers can enjoy catch-and-release fishing in the pond. The campground provides "a sandy beach by the water with plenty of room to relax out in the sun as well as launch areas to set out in a paddle boat, canoe or row boat, all available on site."

Golfing excursions: Several motorhome parks near Townsend include golf amenities. At Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park, visitors can enjoy a 1300-acre property with a golf course offering 9 or 18 holes. One camper noted, "The main attraction of this campground is the golf course of 9 or 18 holes. There is a pro shop, golf cart rentals, etc."

Nature trails: Nearby forests provide hiking opportunities with minimal crowds. The Sturbridge RV Resort features "a huge area of woods with a walking trail starting at the edge of the campground," allowing campers to stretch their legs after long drives.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathrooms and showers. At Woodmore Family Campground, visitors appreciate that "everything was clean, staff was friendly and attentive. Pool was clean, they have a great wiffleball park."

Swimming options: Many rv campgrounds provide swimming facilities when temperatures rise. According to a visitor at Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, "The pool, playground, bathrooms, and basketball court were all open and well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!"

Community atmosphere: Some parks foster friendly environments with seasonal residents. As one camper at Field and Stream RV Park noted, "This place is great. Had a delightful stay. Very quiet well managed place to stay. Managers are A1. Very accommodating will definitely return."

What you should know

Variable site quality: Campsite conditions vary widely across the region. At Hidden Valley, one visitor reported, "Unfortunately, I can't give high marks to our campsite. The water and electric were between our site and the next on one side and sewer between our site and the one on the other side. This made it difficult to place our trailer on the slanted site and reach all services."

Reservation requirements: Booking policies differ between parks with some requiring full payment upfront. A camper at Sturbridge RV Resort shared, "The place is massive and they are more about make money than making people comfortable. What could easily be a very nice and spacious pull-thru spot are 2 back to back back-ins."

Seasonal closures: Most campgrounds operate from mid-April through October. Facilities like Field and Stream RV Park operate "year round; higher rates Oct 15-May 1," providing off-season options at premium prices.

GPS reliability: Navigation systems may provide inaccurate directions. At Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, a camper warns "if you're using Apple Maps, it will likely take you to a turn that is not the campground entrance, there's even a hand-written sign on someone's lawn that has directions to the entrance."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Facilities for children vary between parks. Beach Rose RV Park is described as "cute little campground about a mile from the beach. Clean and friendly staff. Kid friendly."

Entertainment options: Some campgrounds provide organized activities. Sturbridge RV Resort offers a "playground is nice" and "their basketball court is on a shuffleboard court," providing multiple recreation options.

Pool availability: Swimming facilities operate seasonally. One visitor at Camp Coldbrook Golf & RV Resorts mentioned, "The 'Olympic size pool' was not filled at the time but it did not effect our stay at all, there was a smaller pool for those who wanted to cool off."

Special events: Many parks schedule regular weekend activities. At Sandy Beach Campground, reviews mention specific holiday celebrations, with one camper noting, "We enjoyed our stay... A lot of seasonal people but friendly. Playground is on the beach. They don't allow sparklers so that was a bummer on the 4th, but still got to see fireworks."

Tips from RVers

Hookup accessibility: RV sites at many campgrounds have awkward utility placement. At Hidden Valley RV Park, "The water and electric were between our site and the next on one side and sewer between our site and the one on the other side," making proper positioning difficult.

Big rig considerations: Larger motorhomes require careful site selection. At Pine Acres Resort, a visitor mentioned their site was "across from the pavilion. Arrived at 6:30 pm and there had to be about 30 or more golf carts parked in front of our site," indicating potential space limitations.

Year-round availability: Field and Stream RV Park remains open through winter months with "higher rates Oct 15-May 1," allowing for extended season camping.

Site surface variations: Beach Rose RV Park features "cement pad site" surfaces where "they assist you in getting into your cement pad site and guide you down to your site," making leveling easier than natural surfaces at other parks.
