Nice clean facilities and so much to explore!

Nice park and good sized sites. Only 4 stars because our site has a hiking/walking trail going right through it. Only electrical at site, you need to fill with water prior and dump going out.

Awesome place to walk your dog, and run and ride your bike.

Beautiful park, friendly Ranger staff. RV sites lack sewage and water but there is a dump station and water faucets which you can use to fill up your tank. The bathhouse facilities have showers which alas do not really stay hot, and have those industrial grade heads which are abrasive, there's nice dishwashing stations as well. It's very conveniently located and not terribly far from Boston, maybe a half hour drive. If you stay there I highly recommend going to Sugoi sushi in Braintree. Hard to believe this beautiful rustic charming state park is in the middle of Boston's exurbia.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Well it's not really a campground as it's main purpose. It's a state park with a campground. It's open year round as a park, so yes, you can walk, hike, bike there

My wife drove by w while ago to take a look at the set up for Horse trails, as we heard that you had them there. Is that true? Would love to come and ride there!!

Tom Frazee | Sep 13, 2019
Susan Walcott | Sep 13, 2019

Yes it is true. Horseback riding is listed on park website https://www.mass.gov/locations/wompatuck-state-park It is also listed on camping reservations so there may be setup for horse camp sites. If you can not find out information online I would drive to ranger/visitor center and get more info or grab a map there if it's closed. Try calling. Would be a beautiful place to horseback ride! https://www.reserveamerica.com/explore/wompatuck-state-park/MA/32628/overview

Do many people let their dogs off leash here? I want to bring my dogs (on leashes),but don't want unleashed dogs running up to us.

Kevin McGrath | Sep 13, 2019

Many dog walkers have their dogs "off-leash". Usually the dogs are under "voice-control" but I'm not a dog expert.

Are there any bears in woompatuck state park ? Are the campsites safe from bears? Any recent bear encounters in the campground?

Sana Shenaz | Aug 13, 2022
Jonathan Hummel | Aug 13, 2022

The short answer is probably not, but no body knows for sure. I have been going there for years and have yet to see a bear or evidence of one. The black bear is the only bear in Massachusetts and while there have been reports over the years of people seeing what they thought could be a black bear in this park, the searches that followed these reports conducted by wildlife officials never turned up a bear of even much solid evidence of one. The official stance from wildlife workers and rangers that manage the area is that it is unlikely but not impossible that there are black bears here (probably very few of them if any). Black bears are typically very shy and docile compared to all other types of bears. If you are camping in the park, simply store all food sealed and a good distance away from your camp elevated on a tree when you are not using it and you can expect to be safe from black bears even if they do exist here. You can also contact the park staff for more/better info.

89chevybeast | Sep 12, 2020
Mister Ma55h0l3 617 (minotbeachbum22) | Sep 12, 2020

Probably not, the rules are 2 weeks per park between Memorial Day and Labor Day, then each park relaxes a bit on the length of your stay, depending on the park, but I'm pretty sure most of them close down in the fall for the year, also depending on the park. It wouldn't be easy to figure out, and I don't really think it would work, but you're more than welcome to call the camping parks and give it your best.

Hello We are driving our trailer from one park to the this park but we did not fill up our water tank in the RV. Please is there any place around this state park that we can get water fill up before we park our RV

Mavis Manns | Sep 13, 2018
Deborah Sutliff | Sep 13, 2018

There are fresh water fill stations at either end of the dump station. There are spigots sprinkled throughout the park, but no site has its own water hook up. Best advice, dump and fill when you arrive and again when you leave.

Moyita | Sep 13, 2018
Robert Knapp | Sep 13, 2019

There are many sites that accommodate 35ft, as well as a dozen or so pull through.

How often are sites available for walk-ins? Making a reservation necessitates a two night stay, I'll only be in the area one night.
