The location is great, right near hiking trails and a local beach. We got to see a beekeeping demonstration from Blake which was a nice way to end our stay. Blake was friendly and communicative, making sure we had everything we would need.

We ended up getting stuck up north this winter and needed a place to stay in the RV. This ended up being a great safe spot to do so and on the good winter days we were able to visit the nearby beaches, especially Horseneck which is our favorite. We always felt safe and had enough privacy to be on our own. We were able to hook up our 30 amp plug to the side of the garage.
Winter 2026 was a rough one which saw two major snowstorms. Our vehicle always felt well protected.
Our host Tristan was always available when we needed to reach out via the Hipcamp app.
I can only imagine how nice this must be during the warm months. If you do stay, you’ll be able to visit many different beaches on a regular basis as there are so many close to the spot.
Tiverton is safe, clean and nice.
Highly recommend.

Overview
About
Located in America’s hometown of Plymouth, stands Myles Standish State Forest, the largest recreation area in southeastern Massachusetts. The park offers vast forests of pine, camping, hunting, fishing, canoeing, and picturesque kettle ponds. There are 15 miles of bicycle trails, 35 miles of equestrian trails, and 13 miles of hiking trails that take visitors deep into the pitch pine/scrub oak communities. It’s a great place to come for the day and exercise, or make a trip out of it for a quaint little get-a-way. In the summer, interpretive programs, such as pond shore walks and cranberry bog explorations help acquaint you and your little tykes with the unique natural, cultural and historic gems of the state forest. Once you are here you can inhale the sweet pine, rejuvenate, and wonder how this wide expanse of nature can be located so close to Boston and its suburbs.

What a great place. We’ve been here four times now and love everything about it. Very helpful staff, quiet grounds with respectful campers. Close to Greater Boston yet miles away mentally. Wonderful for hikers, bikers and equestrian; many trails and kettle ponds to explore. But also a nice place to do nothing.

Chill area.. I took my mom into the nearby historical sites of Plymouth so this was a fantastic location for a nature break en route. Within a few minutes of driving in the usual east coast noise disappears and trees become the view. Thumbs up.
