All together I had fun with my friends but where were some things that I thought were unpleasant…read more We brought RC cars because they said a RC car is providing but when we got there we saw that the RC park was being worked on AND the basketball and pickleball courts that is shown on the online and physical maps right next to the RC park just werent there. There are other courts next to the big playground that you can use but we still needed to walk all the way there to find out there were no courts. Also every time we went to the courts it was to busy and we coudlnt play which isn't their fault but it was annoying. At the food place they have we got onion rings for 8$ and mozzarella sticks for 8$, the onion rings were actually pretty good and I think worth the money but the mozzarella sticks were soggy and there were five of them for 8$. I think that price was a little much for five mozzarella sticks. Went to the indoor pool and it felt a little weird, it was downstairs and 4 ft deep at most, the lights made it look pretty gloomy and it was pretty crowded. Also part of downstairs was carpet which made it look even more gloomy.

Another great camping weekend at Normandy Farms! If you're looking for a campground with something…read morefor everyone in your family, this is it. We played disc golf, corn hole, and candy bar bingo! The bathrooms and showers were very clean like always!

Lorraine Campground at Harold Parker State Forest is one of the best camping locations in Mass.,…read moreespecially if you want to be in the woods and yet be close to civilization. The ~4000 acre forest has a dedicated entrance to the campground with several rangers assigned to it. The sites can be extremely spacious and isolated or be smaller and more social. It really is your choice. Safe swimming, fishing, bike riding, and hiking are abundant. The educational programs are posted, including weekly hikes, bike rides, and fishing lessons (they provide everything for novices). They even have a bonfire on Sat. nights during the camping season. The bathrooms are cleaned daily and are typically in excellent condition, including free showers and hot water. A donation is requested for the mandatory kiln-dried firewood ($5/bundle or $10/3 bundles). All sites have potable water. No sites have electricity. Alcohol is prohibited (and this is posted prominently). People who get caught drinking (typically because they are obnoxious) are asked to leave immediately. The state police barracks is just down the road, so help is nearby if others get rowdy. It is amazing to really be in the woods so close to Boston. Booking a site in advance online is highly recommended; walk-ins/drive-ups are permitted if there is space available. The fees are extremely reasonable ($12/night).

What a hidden gem! The folks running this campground are…read moresuper friendly and very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Lots of sites situated all around the side of a large hill. The sites range from level to very uneven. The main roads are paved and not terribly steep. Some of the sites are tight quarters to your neighbor others seem to have a bit more space. Lots of shade! Rustic shower buildings that are coin operated at 25¢ for 5-6 minutes. 50¢ was plenty of time. Dish wash stations are located at these buildings which is nice for tent campers. Internet can be good if you pay 3$ a day for a premium code. This is good for people who work remote. Pro tip for campgrounds. Install premium, premium internet for traveling professionals. We will pay for a good connection. Beautiful campground. We would definitely stay here again, we recommend it over a KOA any day.

I have to say FIVE STARS! for this place to counter the hate I see in some reviews with the love I…read morehave for it. Yes, it is a ramshackle place, it is rustic, but it is also a public service to have some real estate available for camping in such a treasured area. I give extra stars here for a friendly staff, the amazing views from the cliffs at the north end of the campground, the variety of sites--some may not be to your liking, but they are flexible enough to let you move to where it works best for you. Some things are just adequate, like the showers, and the narrow road from the mainland, but the camp store is good, the giant rock formations for building a campfire are awesome, and you are down the street from Wingaersheek! Worth mentioning--you can call them on the phone, and a person picks up!
