Wompatuck State
Park is probably the closest campground to the Boston area.
This is a perfect place for a night away from home when you do
not have time to spend the whole weekend in the great
outdoors. Still, you will be deep in the woods, and you will
feel as far from the big city as you would in New Hampshire or
Maine.
All 260
campsites are under the trees and therefore very shady in the
summer. Most have long driveways that take you off the access
roads.
Several trails
around the campground will allow you to explore the State
Park, and there is a 12-mile network of bike trails on the
other side of Union Street. Other roads in and around the Park
are also very pleasant for a bike ride, and traffic is usually
light in the area. Mountain biking is also allowed on trails
in the Park.
From Wompatuck State Park, you can also drive to Hingham
Harbor, one of the best spots for paddling around Boston.
Check our Kayak at
Hingham adventure to go on the water with no hassle.
