Our driveway is located about 3 miles from the start of the Boston Marathon, 8 minutes from 495, but, down a country road. We find our property to be quite peaceful. We do have crickets and frogs to lull you to sleep and early birds to greet you in the morning.  Keep an eye out for turtles! We are a few hundred yards from either Upton State Forest or Lake Whitehall. Lake Whitehall is popular with boaters (speed limit enforced) and is stocked with fish. No swimming. There is a public boat ramp on the other side of the lake. We often put in our kayaks at the entrance close to our house. We hike, mountain bike and picnic in these parks. It's really beautiful.  There is a 24-hour grocery store 2 miles down the road.  The gravel campsite is located at the barn end of our driveway in front of the red barn. There is a little privacy from the house, but, we may need to get into the barn from time to time. We have a 30amp and water hookup at the barn. If planning on using electric please add one "electric hookup" extra to each night of your stay BEFORE finishing the request to book, it's really difficult to add it after. Please plan to bring 50' of hose and/or 25ft of electrical cord if using hookups. There is wifi, BUT, it's pretty weak at the barn. Definitely not strong enough for streaming! Our Ibex camper may or may not be parked next to the barn depending on if we are out camping!  We do not accept car campers. Turtle Path also has a Guest Suite. Find us on that other website! Shortly after we moved in we discovered a large snapping turtle on his way from Lake Whitehall to the creek at the back of our property. Our neighbor told us that's the turtle's usual route. Turtle won our hearts that day.

The Sandbox campground was born from The Sandbox Indoor Beach Sports and Events facility, which mainly focuses on providing year round beach volleyball. We bought the property in 2015 and opened the facility in 2019. As it happens, it's a 12+ acre lot surrounded by wetlands, hiking and biking trails ... there will never be another building built within view of our facility. We are surrounded by nature, and will be forever. So what a great opportunity to offer camping and access to all of the forests, woodlands, wetlands and trails around! And if you're up for it, come play some beach volleyball and meet new lifelong friends :)

2 nights at Getaway Ranch

This site is large and private with dozens of unique features and details that make spending time here so delightful. The treehouse was stocked with books, games, led light fans, bug spray, and a refrigerator. From the screened porch we saw so many birds flying over the lake. We enjoyed a walk through the forest and saw a family of turkeys! Outside there is a fire pit, charcoal grill and gas grill. It was very hot so we didn’t get a chance to use these. The host was helpful with our initial questions, and the only thing we would have changed was the 90 degree weather! This site is a short drive from Mystic and Westerly with great restaurants and shops.

We went Salem it took and it about 1 1/2 hrs and to get to Boston during the week about 30 min and on the weekend about an hour. The cottage was clean and there towel, shampoo, charcoal for the grill, cable TV, internet and private outdoor area. We highly recommend this little Gem. I will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Getaway Ranch

Just got back from a wonderful two night stay at Getaway Ranch. Karyssa was a wonderful host who provided us with wood for the fire ring our first night and quick responses to any questions we had. The Overlook site was great, we had plenty of spots to choose to pitch our tents. We enjoyed the view of the river from the stone bench and had great meals and conversation around the table and campfire. The dogs absolutely loved their time here with plenty to explore and we loved having them with us. We also enjoyed the peace and quiet and falling asleep to the sounds of bull frogs and waking up to beautiful birdsongs. We are definitely going to come back again.

The Yurt Campsite was perfect for a camping girls’ trip to celebrate my daughter’s 11 birthday. She especially loved the hammock near the river. Karyssa was very accommodating and was quick to answer any questions we had, even bringing special fire color packets to make the fire magical for the birthday girl. The set up of tents, air mattress, and fire made it easy for inexperienced campers like us.

I found this place looking for a place to go tent camping and stumbled upon the treehouse. After looking at the pictures I realized I wanted to pay for the upgrade. I am 100 percent happy I did. The amount of details and heart that was put into this place cannot be put into words. If you are thinking about this treehouse, do it. I cannot recommend it enough. Also the more you explore the treehouse, the more cool things you will experience. I don't want to ruin the surprise of finding and trying things that I have not attempted in years. Just know that this place comes with side quests.

Weekend Trip to Getaway Ranch

This was easily the best place my boyfriend and I have ever camped. It’s private yet accessible, extremely quiet, and most of all: BEAUTIFUL! The spot we stayed at overlooks a gorgeous river (which you can kayak but it was too windy for us). Lots of great hiking in the area, also a short drive to the beach which was an unexpected bonus. The host was very quick to respond and was super hospitable. The bathroom was always very clean, and the site was spotless when we arrived. She even provided a trash can! I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place. We will absolutely be back and if you’re thinking about booking this place: DO IT!!! You won’t regret it. :-)

Weekend Trip to Zichichi Family Farm

We all had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Zichichi Farm cabin in the woods. Our host, Jessica, was the best, very friendly and accommodating. She showed us around the farm, showing us all the animals, the property, and later on, we were able to feed all the animals, Our 2 1/2 year old grandson J.J., had the greatest time, especially feeding the pigs. The beautiful cabin was set further back in the woods and was very quiet and peaceful, with an awesome porch that wrapped around the cabin, with many rocking chairs of all sizes We all mentioned to each other what a fantastic weekend we had here and would definitely be back again.

Fall River Heritage State Park camping guide

Overview

About

For those with a penchant for history and a love for the outdoors, camping near Fall River Heritage State Park is an experience like no other. This 14-acre gem, perched on the banks of the Taunton River in Fall River, Massachusetts, offers a delightful blend of historical intrigue and recreational activities. Adjacent to the iconic Charles M. Braga Jr. Memorial Bridge, the park is a stone's throw away from Battleship Cove, the proud home of the World War II battleship USS Massachusetts. As you set up camp, you're not just amidst nature; you're amidst stories of valor and resilience. The park itself is a testament to the state's commitment to preserving urban spaces and cultural heritage. Established as part of the heritage parks initiative in the late 1970s, Fall River Heritage State Park has been a beacon of community engagement and private economic growth. The visitor center, which opened its doors in 1985, serves as a gateway to the park's rich history. But it's not just about the past. The park is brimming with activities for every camper. Stroll along the wheelchair-friendly boardwalk, bask in the sun at the 3-acre meadow, or partake in the park's public sailing program. For those with a fondness for nostalgia, the antique carousel from Dartmouth's Lincoln Park is a must-visit. And if you're camping during the summer, the park comes alive with rock concerts, cultural festivals, film screenings, and even Shakespeare performances.
