Bathrooms were gross, and showers were deplorable. NOT GOING BACK.

I love ❤️ this place! it's so nice to have a beautiful woodsy place to walk the dogs. They love it & have great fun! I wish people would give it more respect & care though. I regularly bring an extra bag with me to pick up trash people drop. It makes me sad to see that some care so little for it. It won't be around long if we don't treat it better.

They don’t get any stars from me I was trying to bring my kids to the bathroom and then to the park and didn’t even make it past the bathrooms due to a worker there yelling at me and not staying 6 ft away from me or my kids he was so close he could of sat in the car with us and not staying 6 feet from my pregnant girl friend

Beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature. Plenty of trails and paths to get lost in. Try it out. You won’t be disappointed.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

They do not typically. It is usually by availability. If you reserve in time you can block the time needed/wanted. But there is no option for a season.

Does this area allow hammock camping, and what is the cost of so?

Randy Glatt | Sep 12, 2021
Francis Severs | Sep 12, 2021

I didn't see any hammocks so I can't answer that specific question. But I can tell you that a tent site without power or water is $17 per night. Also any camping is limited to a paid site so you're not supposed to hike and camp anywhere else. in short, Massachusetts sucks. Within your sight I can't see any reason why they wouldn't allow hammocks unless It would damage the trees. Also, don't bring your own wood. They don't allow wood from outside. You will have to buy theirs or find local Deadwood which is not abundant.

Do they plow the road through the park during the winter season. Many people like to walk despite there being snow on the ground.

Ann Ç | Sep 12, 2021
Justin Desrosiers | Sep 12, 2021

Yes

How are the restrooms? Are they open?

Is camping allowed there now? I know it wasn't for a while due to plumbing issues

Irene Eyssallenne | Sep 12, 2020
Jennifer Plouffe | Sep 12, 2020

Yes. It wasn't plumbing issues. The park was struck by lightning about 10 years ago. I believe this is their 2nd or 3rd season opened. It's gorgeous as ever. Was just there this past weekend.

Hi- Is there a max length of stay, we are looking for 3-4 weeks. Prefer sites where we can drive into the site and then out the other end, not a fan of backing this monster up.

Jamie Russell | Sep 12, 2020
sean Jay | Sep 12, 2020

Most of the sites are of a fist size and you shouldn't have an issue backing in. The max stay is 14 days total during the season

What is the policy in regards to having guests and other vehicles on the site?

Katelyn Cidade | Sep 13, 2019
Angel Willis | Sep 13, 2019

There is an additional parking lot for guests at the entrance. I do not believe guests are allowed to park at the actual campsite. Curphew is 10pm. Absolutely NO alcohol. Some- one once told me it's supposed to be max 4 adults, 4 kids, 4 pets. However, I think that is just for the nite-- not for guests (but don't quote me).

Looking for a place to have my son's birthday in August do they have any type of gazebos, playground and grills?

zia Richard | Sep 13, 2019
Angel Willis | Sep 13, 2019

They do have a gorgeous playground. I know that they have some grills in the camping areas, but I don't think I've ever seen a gazebo. However, Watson State Pond, also in Taunton, does have a large gazebo area about the size of a carport. It also has a playground not as nice as Massasoit State Park though. They also have grills that you can use. The only thing about the gazebo is that since it's free, it's first come first serve. Most people get there early and set up for birthday parties. I prefer Massasoit it's much cleaner and it's in a better area of Taunton. You could probably call the park ranger and ask them if you could put up a portable awning like the ones people used to tailgate. And I'm pretty sure you can bring your own Grill if you really need it to where they can point you in the direction of an area that has grills for you to use for your party. Good luck and happy birthday to your son.

Lynne Lacey | Sep 13, 2018
Chak Julasak | Sep 13, 2018

Not really but if you're looking for something flat to ride on I would suggest using the Service Roads because it's all paved. I would definitely give the trails a try because there are some sections that are challenging but not extremely difficult.
