Best Campgrounds near Westford, MA

Campgrounds near Westford, Massachusetts provide a mix of wooded settings and recreational amenities within close proximity to Boston and historical sites. Spacious Skies Minute Man, located about 10 miles west of Westford in Littleton, features tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin accommodations among tall pine trees. Other notable options include Pearl Hill State Park Campground in Townsend and Willard Brook State Forest Campground in Ashby, both offering tent, RV, and cabin camping approximately 15 miles northwest of Westford.

Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally from May through October, with limited year-round options available. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for weekend stays during summer months. A recent review noted, "For being in an urban area, you don't feel it once in the campground. You might hear a distant train, but not too much else." Road access to campgrounds is generally good with paved routes suitable for most vehicles, though interior campground roads may be narrow in some locations. Cell service is typically reliable throughout the region. Several campgrounds provide both water and electric hookups, with some offering full-hookup sites for RVs.

The camping experience near Westford balances proximity to urban amenities with natural settings. Mature pine forests characterize many of the campgrounds, providing shade and a sense of seclusion despite relatively close spacing between sites. Visitors mentioned clean facilities as a consistent highlight across multiple campgrounds. A camper observed that "the campground itself is beautifully wooded with mature pine trees." While road and rail noise can occasionally be heard, especially at campgrounds closer to transportation corridors, most campers report satisfactory stays. Proximity to historical attractions serves as a major draw, with several campgrounds positioned within 30-45 minutes of Boston, Concord, Lexington, and other significant Revolutionary War sites.

    Spacious Skies French Pond

    Helpful staff

    The staff was friendly. Don't forget the flashlight. There is very little lighting to find your way around the winding roads of the campground which adds to the charm.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Nice ‘n Easy campground

    We stayed for 3 days off season so not busy. Sites located along the river are wooded, field sites are very open great for seeing the stars at night. Sites have fire rings with excellent airflow for good burning with low smoke. Hook ups are in great condition for power, water, sewer. Showers and bath house on site. Laundry and game room at office area. Office staff was very helpful and they’re open later into the day til 7 PM. Good firewood and large bundle delivered for $15 to your site. We passed over this site on our first trip to the area but are glad we came here and we’re planning to return. Follow the website directions to get here as there are covered bridges in the area with low Clearance and low weight limits.

    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!

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Another great trip to Ashuelot River Campground

    We spent another great weekend at the Ashuelot River Campground. We recently purchased a new-to-us camper and wanted to get in a trip or two before putting it away for the winter. This was our 2nd visit to Ashuelot.

    We were in site 59, a pull-through with water and 30/50 amp service. The site was level and easy to get into and park. We were in a fully wooded area on the left side of the campground, which we prefer. They have sites located in fully open areas, as well as some that are partially wooded and have river access. There is a nice mix.

    Having good weather, we took a lazy tube ride from one side of the campground to the other. It has been quite dry in the area, so they are experiencing a drought. However, a little rain in the week got the river moving a bit. We were able to enjoy a nice, slow drift around the campground.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time again and will definitely be back.
