Martha's Vineyard Family Campground

1.5mi from Manuel F. Correllus State Forest · 141 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Vineyard Haven, MA
The Martha’s Vineyard Family Campground began as a vacant wooded lot in 1968. The land was purchased by Charles and Jeanne Feeney from a retired doctor living in Vineyard Haven. Charles “Chuck” Feeney was an aerospace engineer at the time and was always taking his kids camping. His dream was to have a place for the family to camp and call their own. So together with his wife and five children he converted a bus into a camper and carved out a site amongst the wild blueberry bushes and scrub oak trees. Our family fell in love with the island. We discovered all the island has to offer and found it irresistible. We were the tourists of yesteryear and what attracted our family back then still exists today: beautiful beaches, fabulous fishing, quaint villages, and amazing sunsets. From the rolling hills of Aquinnah to the dunes of Katama, there is no place on earth like it. Martha’s Vineyard When Chuck found out his job was relocating him to California, he made the bold move to make his family campsite and land available to you. With a lot of hard work and great family pride, the construction of Martha’s Vineyard Family Campground began. During the first few summers of construction, we lived in the converted bus and tents. Slowly the sites and the roads were carved out. Summer vacations meant clearing land and pouring cement. The campground was officially opened in the spring of 1972 and has been a family-run operation ever since. Today the campground is managed by a third generation of The Feeney Family. The goal has always been to provide a quality camping experience for families who wish to visit this wonderful island. If there is anything that we can do to enhance that experience for you, please let us know.

The best camping in Manuel F. Correllus State Forest, MA guide

Overview

About

Camping near Manuel F. Correllus State Forest offers campers a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich history and natural beauty of Martha's Vineyard. With a vast expanse of 5300 acres, this state forest stands as a testament to nature's grandeur right at the heart of the island. For those who love to stay active, the forest boasts approximately 14 miles of diverse trails. Whether you're cycling on the paved bike path that gracefully winds around the western part of the forest or exploring the dirt trails that range from wide fire roads to adventurous singletrack paths, there's something for every outdoor enthusiast. And if you're a fan of disc golf, the course off of Barnes Road promises a fun-filled experience amidst the serene backdrop of the forest. History buffs will appreciate the forest's proximity to the Martha's Vineyard airport, a relic from World War II when it served as an auxiliary Naval air facility. But perhaps the most poignant historical marker is the statue commemorating the last habitat of the heath hen. Once abundant along the east coast, this grouse species faced extinction by 1932. Their story, however, ignited the spark for modern-day conservation efforts. Whether you're a nature lover, history enthusiast, or just someone looking for a peaceful retreat, a Manuel F. Correllus State Forest camping trip is an invitation to explore, learn, and rejuvenate. So, campers, pack your bags and set out for an adventure that promises both relaxation and discovery.
