Campgrounds near Weymouth Town, Massachusetts range from basic tent sites to premium RV resorts across eastern Massachusetts and neighboring Rhode Island. Many facilities remain operational from April through October, with sites situated on various terrain including wooded areas, open fields, and waterfront locations. Weather conditions typically feature humid summers with temperatures in the 70s-80s°F and cool springs and falls that require additional layers for comfortable camping.
What to do
Fishing and water activities: Tuxbury Pond RV Campground offers a stocked fishing pond where families can enjoy recreational angling. "We fished, hiked, swam, crabbed and had awesome camp fires. We could of lived off of the land if so inclined," notes one camper at Thousand Trails Gateway to Cape Cod.
Hiking trail access: Several campgrounds connect directly to walking paths and nature trails. At Newport RV Park, campers appreciate the "adjacent county park with wooded hiking trails, a large pond and an off-leash dog park which were very appealing because of our dog." The park features miles of trails accessible directly from campsites.
City excursions: Many campgrounds serve as convenient bases for exploring regional attractions. "Loved the easy access to Cape Cod, Plymouth, and Boston," reports a visitor to Gateway to Cape Cod. Another camper notes that Newport RV Park is "located within 1/2 mile of restaurants, gas stations, grocery, shopping, and more. Downtown historic Newport is a 10-minute drive away and you are only 35 minutes from Providence."
What campers like
Beach proximity: Several parks offer convenient access to coastal areas. Beach Rose RV Park is particularly valued for its location. "It's only about a mile from the beach. We rode bikes to Salisbury Beach and my young adult son rode his longboard to the beach," shares one reviewer. Another mentions, "Boston and Salem are very close and you can take a train which is only 5 minutes away from the campground."
Clean facilities: Maintenance standards vary between properties but many receive praise for upkeep. "Beautiful campground, clean facilities, decently priced. The pool, playground, bathrooms, and basketball court were all open and well maintained," notes a visitor to Tuxbury Pond RV Campground. At Pinewood Lodge Campground, campers appreciate that "this is an exceptionally well maintained campground."
Spacious sites: While site dimensions vary considerably between properties, some offer more room than others. A Gateway to Cape Cod visitor mentioned, "Heavily treed and shaded campground, extremely large to walk from front to back." At Newport RV Park, "the distance between sites was far enough that you did not feel cramped or on top of your neighbor."
What you should know
Site levelness challenges: Terrain varies significantly between campgrounds and even within the same park. At Wompatuck State Park Campground, a visitor noted, "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, with poison ivy, water pooling during rainstorms, and limited space."
Payment policies: Some campgrounds charge additional fees for basic services. At Pinewood Lodge, visitors mention that "showers are not free (.25 cents per 3 minutes)" while noting the "hot showers were awesome." Several parks also implement visitor fees for additional guests.
Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds in the region have limited operating seasons. Douglas Forest RV Resort operates seasonally with facilities like pools closed during portions of the year. A Tuxbury Pond visitor mentioned, "We chose this campground because we got a booking discount on the Dyrt app," highlighting the availability of off-season special rates at some facilities.
Tips for camping with families
Recreation facilities: Family-friendly amenities vary widely between properties. At Normandy Farms Campground, visitors appreciate the extensive facilities: "Great for families. They had tons of festive activities. They have an indoor and an outdoor pool. The restrooms are clean." Another camper shared, "It has a dog park and has owners that are one family who makes this place hum."
Organized activities: Scheduled events provide entertainment for younger campers. "Camp store closed early than most campgrounds for being in the peak season," noted one Thousand Trails Gateway visitor, highlighting the importance of checking activity schedules in advance. At Pinewood Lodge, campers appreciate that there are "lots of activities and celebrations for every age group."
Noise levels: Sound management policies differ between campgrounds. A Wompatuck State Park camper mentioned, "quiet hrs are enforced on Friday nights only it seems," while another noted it's a "family type of campground so not the quietest place." Understanding these patterns helps families select appropriate locations.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: RV campers highlight the importance of researching specific sites. At Gateway to Cape Cod, "Section A is right near the entrance and this is where most of the transient sites are. They are first come first serve." Another RVer advised, "Biggest negative was the trees can drop a lot of sap so be ready to wash your rig and vehicles as soon as you leave if it was a heavy sap time."
Utility reliability: Power stability varies between parks, particularly during peak demand periods. Cell service and connectivity also fluctuate. At Gateway to Cape Cod, an RVer reported, "Cell reception was not good, neither with AT&T nor Verizon. They have Wifi at the park which I haven't tried."
Reservation timing: RV campers emphasize booking well in advance, particularly for premium sites and holiday weekends. Many parks fill completely during peak season, with Newport RV Park typically booked solid during folk festival events and summer weekends.
