Largest state forest in MA (14,635 acres). Pitch pine + scrub oak ecosystem rare in the Northeast. Charge Pond + Fearing Pond have swimming. Quiet alternative to crowded Cape parks.

Match the campground's size limit and hookup level to a vehicle category, then plan the rest of the trip.

Near Lanesborough
StateInsider tip · Highest point in Massachusetts (3,489 ft). Bascom Lodge on summit — restaurant + sleeping rooms separate from camp. AT crosses the summit.
Near Westport
StateInsider tip · Only ocean-front state-park RV camp in MA. 2-mile beach. Books out July 4 weekend a year in advance — set ReserveAmerica alert for cancellations.
Near Hingham
StateInsider tip · Former WWII naval ammo depot — overgrown bunkers + abandoned roads now mountain-bike paradise. Closest large state-park camp to Boston (45 min).
Near Provincetown
PrivateInsider tip · Closest camp to Provincetown — walk/bike to the harbor. Acquired by The Trustees of Reservations 2014, non-profit operated. Dune ecosystem buffer means quieter than commercial Cape parks.
Your next step
Myles Standish State Forest Campground takes rigs up to 35 ft, so what you arrive in decides whether the loop works at all. If you don't own one, the same trip runs on a motorhome rented in Massachusetts.
Nothing in Massachusetts is bookable today. Dated requests are what we take to owners, so give us the window you actually want — you get one email the day a rig covers it, and nothing else.
