    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Hanscom AFB FamCamp welcomes military families with pets at their wooded recreational camp near Woburn, less than 25 miles from Boston. The campground features RV sites with hookups, secluded tent sites, and a yurt tent option, all accommodating dogs with leash requirements. Lorraine Park Campground at Harold Parker State Forest provides spacious pet-friendly sites with good separation from neighbors. Dogs are welcome throughout both properties, though they must remain leashed and supervised at all times. Several clean modern bathhouses with hot showers and flush toilets are available at both locations. Many campsites include water spigots, picnic tables, and fire pits or boxes. The campground staff is notably helpful and friendly to campers traveling with pets.

    Hiking trails throughout Harold Parker State Forest offer excellent opportunities for dog walking, with miles of paths and logging roads to explore. A small beach area within walking distance of the campground provides water access, though pet swimming policies vary. The proximity to Minute Man National Park and Walden Pond creates additional recreation options for campers with leashed dogs. Sites at Harold Parker have rectangular fire boxes that enclose three sides, making cooking more challenging but still allowing for campfires. During peak seasons, mosquitos can be plentiful, particularly when hiking through the swampy areas, so appropriate pet protection is advisable. Both campgrounds maintain reasonable quiet hours, though enforcement varies on busy weekends. Camping with pets provides an unexpected natural retreat in an area otherwise known for urban amenities.

      Wakeda Campground, LLC

      Beautiful forest

      We stayed At Wakeda Campground overnight during a trip from Maine back to Long Island, NY. It was located very close off of 95 and allows pets. We were overwhelmed by the beautiful massive forest. The campground was splendid with old tall, pine trees everywhere. They offered electric, water, and sewer hook up, trading post that had camping goods and snacks, WiFi hotspot, pool table, and lounging area. They also had a game room, miniature golf, coffee shop and dog park.

      The first campsite they assigned to us was very secluded but unfortunately, we were coming in during a major rainstorm. That site was a little flooded so we chose another. It still had beautiful trees surrounding it but not as secluded from neighbors. There are also many seasonal campers there but all of their sites were beautifully decorated with flowers and such. Everyone was friendly that we encountered during our stay.

      We had bathrooms located near our site. They were four separate bathrooms that had a sink and toilet and were clean. They did offer showers in another area but I did not use them.

      Walking around we saw wild turkeys, bunnies, and a hummingbird. It would have been great if they offered a nature trail in the campground since the forest was so beautiful. There were paths that went into the woods but they were marked for employees only.

      The next day we wanted to go for a hike before we hit the road. Unfortunately, the state parks near the campsite do not allow dogs during late Spring to early Fall. Using our Bring Fido App, we found Rails to Trails nearby that we could bring our dog and hiking cat. We did the Salisbury Point Ghost Trail that was nice and shady, though flat, but a nice leisurely walk for all of us.

      Pinewood Lodge Campground

      Nice woodsy campsite with lots of amenities

      We visited in early June and really appreciated the shade at our site as the temps rose into the mid-80’s. There are lots of tall pine trees but are trimmed back and not a problem getting or big-rig through the park or in our site. We loved site 47 which was long and level with nice grass around it. The next site (46) was pretty close, but luckily nobody was in it while we visited. Our patio area was fairly large with no other sites next to it, just a road. We chose a 50A/water pull thru site and the electric was good at 124 volts on each leg. Honey wagon service is quite expensive at $35/pump out, or you can use the dump station for free. We used the campground cable tv and got about 60 stations, included the major stations (local news was out of Boston). This was a good thing since the trees blocked our Dish receiver from getting any channels. The wifi was 2.4G and just o.k. You could surf the internet but definitely not strong enough to stream.  I went to the lodge and got great wifi speed to download movies quickly. 

      The campground is gated and charges$15/day for visitors. There are lots of amenities. There is a good access to a small lake (with a canoe/kayak launch and rentals), fishing pier (for catch and release, no license required), ice cream stand, food truck, playground, a large dog park (with two runs), laundry, playground, horseshoes, etc. The campground is conveniently to the downtown Plymouth attractions (10 minutes) and a grocery store (2 miles).  

      The biggest downside was the dust since most of the roads are gravel. It was very dry during our visit and the dust was crazy. Another negative was the $5/day pet fee. There are restrictions as to where you can walk your pets in the campground and they are not allowed on the beach.  There is a good size dog park with two runs.  If you dog is afraid of gunshots, do not come here as there is a gun range nearby that is pretty loud.

      Autumn Hills Campground

      Family campground

      Pros- very clean, bathrooms kept up with regularly. Staff is very nice. They offer boat rentals, canoes, paddle boats and kayaks. Store on site and they do activities during the week. Definitely more kids friendly I think. They do have a pool, park, dog park, lake and food trucks visits at times. They have community fires and dances. Pet friendly. Wood available on site.

      Cons- loud cars going all night, some lights in your face. Some people tend to fly down the road on golf carts. You can also hear the main road from the open style campsite. No privacy. People will walk threw your tent site. They will talk during the night while doing this, smoking seems to be allowed at pool. No fires between 9am-5pm.

      Overall we had a good time.

      Beach Rose RV Park

      Nice small campground near the beach!

      Beach Rose RV Park in Salisbury, Massachusetts is a small, friendly, family-owned campground near the beach. The staff was very accommodating and went out of their way to find us a spot on a busy holiday weekend due to a campground mishap. The park is very clean and they have a nice swimming pool and amenities. The dog park area was large and shady, but a lot of mosquitos. You are pretty close to your neighbors, but the sites do accommodate bigger rigs because of the length. The sites are 30/50 amp FHU and wifi was decent. The best thing about Beach Rose RV Park is the proximity to the beach and town. Who doesn’t love a day at the beach? 💗😬👍🏻

      Friendly, with a great location

      I came here last year with my dog.  We only stayed two nights.  It was his first time camping, so I made a note in my reservation request that I'd like a fairly remote site - just in case he got loud.  They put me in the perfect site, near the dog park (they have a dog park!).  When the forecast changed to thunderstorms, they let me switch my dates without any hassle.  The location is convenient for Newburyport, Portsmouth, and the Seacoast.   We ended up having a lovely stay.

      Just a note, I took my dog for a walk around the campground and noticed that many of the other sites were rather close together - including the cabins.  Some people don't mind, and even enjoy, close neighbors.  If you're like me, however, you'll want to ask for a more remote site.

      One more thing to note; I booked through Rover Pass and ended up paying them a fee.  Next time I'll contact the park directly.

      I'm looking forward to another trip soon!

      Wompatuck State Park Campground

      Great spot with Plenty of History

      We chose this spot for a family weekend. Sites are spacious. Water from nearby facet. Because it was local and had history behind it. Rhe campground is within a state park and is built on a old military base. You can still see some bunkers with their vents all around the campground. Blue Mountain spring water can be found right near campground for some refreshing water. We brought our chow chows and their was a great harbor side dog park a short drive away along with some swimming. I would visit again.

      Seasonal camper oriented, but comfortable for a short stay

      We stayed for two nights at Wakeda with our travel trailer. The paved roads were a plus, as was a very level campsite. The majority of campers seemed to be there for the season and were their own little community. 

      Our full hookup site was very close to other sites, so unfortunately we had to deal with some noise issues. We could hear our neighbors loudly talking at 2 AM, and also were treated to the sound of the same neighbor's dog barking for hours during the when they left him alone. That being said, this was not the fault of the campground itself.

      Wakeda's proximity to Hampton Beach was awesome -- a less than 15-minute drive for us. We also enjoyed the dog park. It was spacious and well maintained.

    Guide to Woburn

    Camping options near Woburn, Massachusetts sit within the Middlesex County region, where elevations range from 100-200 feet above sea level and summer temperatures average 70-85°F during peak camping season. Winter camping is limited, with most campgrounds operating from May through October. The area's glacial terrain creates unique landscapes with ponds, rocky outcroppings, and mixed hardwood forests that transform with vibrant fall colors by late September.

    What to do

    Trail exploration at Blue Hills: 20+ miles of varied terrain within driving distance of Wompatuck State Park Campground. "Lots of exploring! We found a large pond and an underground bunker to venture into. The campsite had trees around it so you felt secluded and there was plenty of wood to collect for a fire," notes Jess G.

    Whale watching trips: 3-4 hour excursions from Gloucester, accessible from Cape Ann Camp Site. "Cape Anne is beautiful. Perfect location with access to Rockport - a beautiful place to visit, shop, eat & a great little trail with great views. Beach down the street was big, beautiful and low tide was unexpected as you could walk for ever," shares Ron C.

    Revolutionary War history: Self-guided tours throughout Lexington and Concord, just 15-20 minutes from most campgrounds. "Close to minute man historical sites- revolutionary war historical trails and Ranger Station. Not too far from Boston," explains Caitlin B. about her stay at Hanscom AFB FamCamp.

    Berry picking: Wild blueberry and blackberry harvesting available July-September in conservation areas. "Lots of good berry picking and trails, not far from the blue hills," mentions Kiye A. from Ponkapoag Camp.

    What campers like

    Natural seclusion: Wooded campsites at Lorraine Park Campground provide separation from urban surroundings. "Convenient location, but still let's you get away. Nice wooded sites," says Randy R. Another camper, Kelly F., notes, "The site are huge with space in between. They keep the bathrooms very clean. There are lots of trails and ponds."

    Accessibility to Boston: 30-45 minute commute from most area campgrounds to downtown. "I actually camped here, while looking for apartments during my move to boston. It's about 45 min out of the city. Not too crowded, bathrooms and picnic tables. Trails around and several ponds," reports Caitlin B.

    Pet-friendly policies: Off-leash areas available at select locations. At Hanscom AFB FamCamp, "Dogs are welcome too," confirms Janet R. Normandy Farms Campground also earns praise for its "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."

    Seasonal events: Weekend activities throughout summer months. "During peak seasons, mosquitos can be plentiful, particularly when hiking through the swampy areas, so appropriate pet protection is advisable," note regular campers.

    What you should know

    Reservation timing: 3-6 month advance booking recommended for summer weekends. At Winter Island Park, "Small camp. Have very few campsites, you definitely need to reserve a spot before you come," advises Sadie A.
