Massasoit State Park just reopened for camping in 2018 after years of being closed.

There are rustic sites, and standard electric sites. There is no sewer hookup at Massasoit. The dumping station is also closed for the 2020 season.

The rangers are friendly, and conscientious. They do a great job of maintaining quiet hours while still being kind and friendly.

The sites are clean and large. The beach is well maintained. No flotation devices are allowed, and the rangers do keep people accountable to this.

The pond is wonderful for kayaking. There is a great playground for the kids.

This beautiful, shady state park has a variety of sites. Because the map is deceptive when it comes to the locations and spacing of sites, I definitely recommend driving around and looking at the different areas if you have the opportunity.

Several years we were able to have a site right near the beach at Curlew pond, and had wonderful experiences. Other times on the kayloop we felt like we were squished in like sardines.

your experience also depends on the people that are camping around you. We have had amazing, restful experiences with friendly neighbors, and times when we were surrounded by partiers.

because it is a very large state park campground, the DCR rangers do not come around as frequently and are not as strict as we've experienced them to be at other state campgrounds. This means that there was very little regulation of partying and noise.

No electric or water hookups at Curlew pond.
