Eastern Massachusetts Has Some of the Loveliest Hikes in New England

"A moderate-to-challenging roughly 10-mile experience across 3,526 acres that span Hingham and parts of Cohasset, Norwell, and Scituate; the land was once Native American territory and later a naval ammunition depot, and concrete bunkers from that era remain visible (including N-9, renovated and now covered in graffiti). Hikers can create custom loops by hopping between trails to explore woods, meadows, and remnants of the depot." - Madeline Bilis Madeline Bilis Madeline Bilis is a writer, editor, and guidebook author based in New England.

This is an absolutely beautiful and peaceful place with ample and amazing accommodations. Showers, electricity, water, and campfire grills are free on site. Firewood bundles are available for purchase. There are so many trails for walking and bicycling. Very dog friendly. Children love it here. I only hate posting this because I don't want to miss out on future reservations due to it being full!

Wompatuck State Park has one of the best trails in south shore. Trails are easy to moderate, well marked trails make it easy to find your tracks. Nice and quiet, pet friendly but occasional mountain bikers will whizz pass you with casual hello. Campgrounds are available for adventure seekers and there are tons of parking as well. Info center features restrooms but needs cleanliness, though.

The staff are what made this campground really wonderful. They're a great resource for places to go and things to do. This is a great place to bring a bicycle as there are many places to ride, even just around the campground. As always camping depends on who your neighbors are, whether it's the solace of the campground or the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Staff does their best. You have two options: the more rustic side or the powered side. Each gives the campground a completely different feel.

Quiet campgrounds surrounded by thick, lush forests. It's easy to forget your 40 miles from Boston.

As excellent as I recall from last fall. Wonderful campground and park. Loads of walking trails. Easy walk to food (hour and a half each way i walk a lot). Sites are not huge but fully shaded. Definitely worth trying out for your preferences. Oh bathrooms clean water hot. Non electric sites separate from electric sites which I LOVE as a non driving tent only camper. Plenty of water posts. No complaints.

My go-to destination for convenient bike trails, both paved and off-road. Trails are perfect for novice MTB'ers. Paved trails are clean and relatively quiet- motorists understand that bikers are frequently present and act accordingly. Plenty of parking space. I personally visit this state park about once a week because there are just so many paths to explore.

Our visit to this lovely State Park and Camping was really enhanced by the seasonal ranger who led the bird and history tours on Saturday! She was clearly super enthusiastic about many topics and we really enjoyed the 1 1/2 hour walks with her. I went out and got the book on bats she recommended from the library! I hope to return again soon. Thank you!
