The best pets off leash campgrounds near Boston, Massachusetts

Boston is a roiling metropolitan area with plenty of camping opportunities along its outskirts such as lake camping at Ponkapoag Pond and Glen Echo Pond to the south. To the west there's farm camping, an opportunity to live your bucolic dream and breathe in the fresh air of the countryside. Or opt for some coastal camping at the Boston Harbor Islands of Grape, Bumpkin, Peddocks, and Lovells to the east. In fact, the latter offers awesome views of the Boston skyline while giving privacy and relaxation. Peddocks Island isn't just about sand and surf, but it's also rife with Civil War history, hiking trails, and fishing, a sort of all-in-one deal. While you're within a few miles of downtown Boston, take an opportunity to visit some of the most famous historical sites such as Boston Commons, The Paul Revere House or the Old State House. Walk the Freedom Trail, stopping just long enough at the waterfront for some to-die-for lobster rolls. Whether you want to experience history, the countryside, or sand and sun, Boston has it in spades.

We have a lovely site to camp right in the city. It is secluded and surrounded by nature. But still close to all the conveniences Worcester has to offer. We have a fun yard with an in-ground trampoline and zip line. The heated pool is available until late October. Pool is an added amenity and must be booked in advance. It is also listed on Swimply.

This was a great place to stay. Kathleen couldn’t have been more hospitable and the property is wildly private and absolutely beautiful in the Fall. We hope to stay here again someday.

Quiet space behind the host’s house. There was a group at another site but there is a fence between the sites and enough privacy that I barely noticed.

We loved Patricia’s little camp. It was so cozy and welcoming. It was exactly what we were looking for. She knew it was our anniversary and upon arrival we walked in to candles lit scattered hearts and a cute heart pillow on the bed. The bed was extremely comfortable and we were well stocked with xtra blankets if needed. The lake view was peaceful and beautiful. Well stocked with firewood also. Patricia call the morning after we checked in to make sure we settled in ok and she was so sweet. We never had to call her throughout our 3 night stay. We definitely will return

Loved this site. Super cute and spacious, also secluded though in Kathleen’s backyard. They did a nice job with the space here. I loved that they provided chairs, hammocks, fire pit, etc. as I was just stopping in and out and didn’t pack a ton of real campy stuff. Super helpful that they allow dogs as I was coming with my puppy for a dog show. You can hear some loud planes, but they never woke me up so I imagine they must not operate that airport at night. 35 minutes to where my show was in the Cape (Falmouth) and super easy to get to!

The site was absolutely beautiful. It was cozy and in more of a private area. By far, our favorite location we have stayed at. The lights and hammocks made for a very relaxing stay.

This is a nice group of sites behind the owners property. Sites are spacious and flat with a great fire pit (swivel top for cooking), Adirondack chairs, and various tables. Loved the hammocks at the site! ! I stayed in the teardrop, which was very comfortable. Electrical outlets were available in the camper, which were handy for charging. Water was close, at the house. I was greeted by the owner who told me how to reach her by text and to see if I needed anything, but other than that, I was left to enjoy the peace and quiet! I would stay here again!

Great spaces to land on. Is in close proximity of the finest New England marinas. So much history to learn and experience. And plenty of authentic restaurants, serving the best freshest seafood dishes. Lots of shopping venues to buy memorabilia.
