This is the first campground I have given a 10. WI-FI worked great in the camper while the staff and owners are some of the friendliest we have met. There is a Good Sam 10% discount and a weekly discount of 15%. They give you a brochure that gives directions to all the area attractions. Interior roads are good, but narrow though that didn't present a problem if you take your time in maneuvering. If you plan to visit and see the sights plan on at least a week. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here while on a month long trip to New England. It not only was in the top 2 places of this trip but ranked right up there with the best of past trips. Not only was the campground great but so were the owners and their employees. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We really liked this park. Their sites were large with plenty of room between them. The staff was helpful and helped us pull in when we arrived in the dark. We would return to this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Though prior comment was negative about the owner/operator, we found them to be courteous and helpful. Husband escorts you to site. The pool is closed this time of year, but it appears to be a nice pool, deck, furniture, etc. Has first rate restrooms and the showers were very clean. There is a nicely stocked store, an excellent laundry room with lots of good equipment, quality cable TV and Wi-Fi connections. Park has very shady private sites, lots of paths (and rules) to prevent site cut-throughs. Some might consider this "big-rig" unfriendly, but if you know what you are doing there are no problems (we have 31' TT). Couple of cautions: (1) The entry road is fairly steep off the highway and there's evidence of tail-end dragging on the highway. If you have an overhang, approach at an angle. (2) Interior roads are paved but the corners are tight with trees everywhere. No problem getting through, just be careful. (3) Entire campsite quite hilly, so put 'er in low coming in. Some sites a little tricky getting into. But once settled, I think you'll rate this place highly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We would not stay here again because the office staff was not upfront with us when we made our reservations. We asked questions regarding accessibility to trains to Boston and receiving mail at the park (we are full-timers). We were told one thing over the phone and found out something totally different once our reservations were made (for a week) and we arrived at the park. We were trying to decide between this park and another and we would have gone with the other park if the staff had been honest with us. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is very shaded and quiet though there is not a lot of privacy between campsites. It rained while we were there so we did not get to use a lot of the amenities. The location is conveinient to Boston, Concord and Lexington. We chose this campground because of its proximity to an event we were attending. If we were to return to the area we might consider another campground with greater space between campsites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice owners/managers who are very helpful with directions and where to go and what to see. They work constantly to insure the CG is well kept. Interior roads are narrow but maneuverable. Our site (86) was large but we did experience some electrical problems. The owner replaced the entire breaker box within 30 minutes of our arrival. We booked 4 months early but could not get a 50 amp (bah) site. We were here over Labor Day and I think the locals got those sites. We initially had to run our hot-water heater on propane, but eventually the power problem was resolved. Our site was directly across from the pool and rec hall so was a tad noisy, but it was a good noise, kids playing and everyone was settled down before night quiet hours. All wooded sites so no satellite TV but they have very good cable TV. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again in the future. Many small towns around here make this a very interesting place. I don't think you could get closer to Boston than here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Based on previous reviews we chose this campground when visiting the nearby Minute National Historic Park. We had our 3 granchildren with us and they enjoyed the swimming pool and recreation hall which were both extremely clean and accessible. Our site (#94) was a little difficult to back into and as it faced the center of all recreation, including the playground, it was a bit noisy and busy with kids and parents running about, but we were OK with that. The restrooms were spotless and staff very friendly and helpful. They even escorted us to our site which was right behind the main building! Other than thinking the sites are a little close to each other and not much privacy prevails, it's a great spot for families with kids, but don't expect solitude and privacy, especially on weekends. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We didn't spend much time in the campground because we were visiting Boston, but it was wooded and pretty. The staff went out of their way to help us make arrangements to get to the mass transportation into Boston. Their website has a very helpful table to make comparisons of the available transportation. We would definitely stay here again if visiting the Boston area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very good campground..We camped here a few years ago and we had to come back to this spot. The staff is very friendly, the sites are clean. Some people commented on the concern with roads being washed out. Well, the weather was awesome when we were here, they did fix some areas of the roads by filling in with large gravel. When it rains every camp ground is going to have concerns. This place is great, if you are coming to this area, this is the campground to stay, if you can get in..:) We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Came here for our first family camping get together. Not a bad campground, has everything you would want, nice pool, clean bathrooms, nice game room. Some of the campsites were small. Campground gets muddy real quick with any rain. If you are looking for a quiet campground to relax, this is not the place. Lots of kids having a great time and "kid loud". Quiet hours not reaLly enforced. Some guy came in about midnight with his generator running, he must have woken up most of the campers. People in and out all night long. We will however come back here next year for the second family reunion. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great campground, however the Wi-Fi was disappointing. I was never able to make a connection during our 4-day visit. The roads are a little tight for a big rig towing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed in this campground several times on our way to/from the south. We find it to be consistent in offering good sites and quality service. It's a lovely, wooded, setting, with sites that provide sufficient privacy. The staff is helpful, competent, and knowledgeable. Access off 495 is fine and (as I said in a review 5 years ago) the restrooms are clean and heated! This is a good place to stay in the vicinity of Boston. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a heavily wooded campground but well trimmed for big rig access. The roads and sites are dirt with a minimum number of 50 amp sites. Some areas of the interior roads were washed out from recent rains. The campground was somewhat crowded over the weekend at full occupancy but thinned out nicely during the week. The staff is friendly but you may have to ask for a print out of the cable channels when you check in. The restrooms and showers were spotless. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I gave this campground a 9 for only 1 reason and that reason is mentioned by others here and that is the sites need to be stoned when it rains it will be very muddy. Yes there are many trees and the roads are a little tight but they can be navigated you just need to pay attention otherwise this is a beautiful and well kept campground and those who are full timers and don't need or want camping atmosphere, go to a Wal-Mart and park for free! Wi-Fi is great no drops strong signal good speed. There are pull thrus that can handle the biggest RVs, great staff and friendly and they escort you to the sites so if you are RV driving challenged as by some of the reviewers here complain about the roads, all you need to do is follow your guide to the site. Great campground to tour Boston. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice CG with lots of trees, but sites a bit small and roads narrow, especially when leaving by the pool. Rec room was just a bunch of video games. Good cable. Price a bit steep. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a little over 2 miles west of I-495, so fairly easy access. Clean, shaded sites with large pines. Large rig access, although the roads are a little narrow. Sites are fairly large, fire pit, picnic tables and full hookups, including cable and unlimited wifi. Would be about 40-50 minute drive to the Boston attractions. After a day out and about, this would be a good place to wind down. Definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful wooded sites. The staff is very pleasant. Laundry and convenience store on site. Whenever we go to the Boston area, this is our favorite campground. We have stayed here a few times over the past 4 years. The only problem has been an occasional inconsiderate neighbor leaving unattended campfires smoldering all night or being a little rambunctious beyond posted curfews. It is a good place to go for New England camping. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Boston Minuteman is one of the nicest campgrounds we've camped in. The park is well maintained, and for such a small area, it's well laid out. The sites are situated so that you're not always looking into your neighbor's site. The staff is very helpful, and eager to make your stay as pleasant as possible. We've camped here the last two years, and will definitely come back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a large level wooded pull thru site with a large rock fire pit. Laundry was clean and the price is one of the most inexpensive we have encountered on this multi-month tour. As mentioned and as I have observed before this is a heavily wooded campground so care is required in navigating a big rig but I had no problems just took my time. Staff was helpful and informative about some of the alternate tourist sites beside downtown Boston. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very big, nice, and clean bathrooms, with showers like at home. A bit pricey; we paid $35 for electricity and water and our 11-year-old. Wooded throughout. Didn't get to use the pool because of the rain. We camped here in a Motorhome.
For big rigs, the roads through the campground are quite narrow with large trees everywhere. Definitely need the eyes in the back of your head, we always told our kids we had. We were in one of the "big pull-through" sites and had sufficient room for our 40 foot fifth wheel. However, on departure we elected to back out of the site as there were just too many trees to pull-through. Doubt we could have pulled out without scraping the trailer. None of the sites are particularly friendly for trailers; better suited for motorhomes. Will not stay again for this reason. Good laundry room; staff was friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Easy access about 3.5 miles west of I-495 off Exit 30 on 2A. Steep entrance to the park, so don't make the turn with a long rig straight on. We parked in Site #71. Because of recent rains the entry was partially washed out. This site has no cable or sewer, but 50 amp. Office was friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi was available and free. All sites are heavily wooded, so satellite TV reception is not possible. Maneuvering for Big Rigs is tight, but possible. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground. Staff was very pleasant and helpful with transportation to Boston options. Campsite was nice. We are in F. Lots of trees and shade. Nice pool. Wi-Fi free and good here at the far end of the campground. Enjoying our stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here 2 weeks. I wasn't sure about the attitude at check-in; first, this was the first campground that demanded to see my Good Sam card, and then told me it was expired based on the "member since" date. Also, as I was checking in they made the comment "if you are thinking about staying any longer, we are booked"--maybe I just took it wrong, but I wasn't sure what prompted that since we had pretty specific reservations. However, after that exchange, the staff/owners were excellent the rest of the stay--very friendly and helpful. As others have mentioned, the wi-fi was spotty; strong signal and good speed but often dropped the signal (may be fine if you are only checking mail; but when you work full-time on the computer this can be annoying--and sometimes extremely inconvenient). Also, as full-time RVers that work we are less into the nature and woods and campfires than some. When your front door is only a few feet from your neighbor, it can get a bit crowded and having your neighbor sitting right outside your front window feels cramped. We also had to manuever under a low tree (growing at an interesting angle) to squeeze into the site and the neighbor had to pull all the way forward or we could not pull out forward. You can maneuver with a big rig, but it is tight. The campground would have scored higher if there was something besides dirt on the ground; and since it rained a lot while we were there, there was lots of mud. No grass, gravel, pads, etc.; just dirt (site, space, and trees) because of all the trees. All of the kids seemed to be having a good time, though; again, as full-timers when kids are running through your campsite it makes it feel as if you don't have your own site. Kimball Farms Ice Cream is a must-have while in this area! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We had site E which is a water and electric only site, but E and F are probably two of the biggest, most private spots in the campground. We got a good sam discount. We chose this campground for it's proximity to a dedicated bike path (excellent) and because it is halfway between my brother's house and ours. The campground had a well stocked store, clean heated pool, very clean bathrooms and showers and miles of hiking trails adjacent to the campground. There were no planned activities or entertainment during our stay. Very pet friendly. We will definitely go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It was a nice campground. Small park, love the camp store, and the people seemed nice. Game room was good. Liked the pool, it was clean. Close place to camp in the woods, that's not too far from the city. I would go there again for the weekend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have been here a few times. Campground is very clean. Staff are very helpful. Close to everything. Some pull-thrus are a little tight but will handle every RV out there. We enjoy staying here. Pool is spotless. Bathrooms are clean as a whistle. Free hot showers. All sites have electric and water. Coin laundry on site. Basic supplies at camp store. Will camp here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We camped here 15 years earlier when it was a KOA and was impressed. If anything, it's improved in those 15 years though it's no longer a KOA. Another pleasant, well-landscaped campground that reminds me of a Nat. Park setting. When we're back in the Boston area, we stay here again. Worst part for us was traveling good, old rough I-495 around Boston! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice and clean. Many seasonals all well kept. Friendly workers; escorted to site. Good for an overnight stay but a little too crowded for a longer visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Thought this was a good park. Arrived without a reservation and got 2 nights with water & electric, then moved to a full hookup site. Cable is good, but WiFi is a bit spotty, but was able to use it most of the time. The campground is hilly, and the roads are narrow, but we were able to move our 35' motor home to our first site with the car attached - the site was at the back of the campground, so we had to drive through a good deal of the campground. You do need to be aware of where the trees are, and will need to pull forward and backup again for some sites. The staff was friendly and helpful. Even have designed their own brochure with information on how to get to some of the major places of interest. They're about 30 miles north east of Boston, an easy drive to parking lots for the Boston transit system. Overall, an above average campground for New England. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here a few years ago and returned because it’s one of our favourites. It has everything: tall pines, immaculate bath houses, a location close to public transit to Boston (they give schedules and recommendations), a clean, heated pool - which they kept open beyond Labor Day because the weather warranted it - and a friendly and accommodating staff. Cable is excellent but WIFI is a bit spotty. I really can’t understand the reviewer who cited difficulty in negotiating the roads, as there were several Class As and towables here during our stay. I can only assume he/she ended up without sewer and cable connections because he/she didn’t reserve ahead. Its superior quality makes it so popular that you just cannot expect a perfect site on demand without previous planning. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We did not like this campground. We agree with the previous reviewer who reported it was difficult to negotiate around the many trees. It is extremely hilly. We ended up with a site with no sewer or cable. The dump station is in a very inconvenient spot, blocking the entrance/exit and if you dump when going in, you are tilted. The WiFi worked well when it worked, but it did cut out here and there. The place is clean and very nice for small rigs and families and people who like lots of trees and don't want to see the sky. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great campground for all types of camping; family weekend, base to sightsee, or for a break just passing through. Sites are large, wooded and quiet. Staff is friendly and accommodating. We camp there 2-3 times a season. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have camped here every September for the past 20 years with a large group of family and friends. The owners are always super accommodating and keep our group's sites and cabins close together. Their restrooms are always clean -- never had a problem. And the showers are free! They even pipe in music to the bathrooms. Very nice touch! Game room is pretty good -- plenty of games and a ping pong table. Playground is average - but the kids like it. They have basic cabins - no bathroom facilities. I believe they added a/c to the cabins last year - which is a plus during the hot months! They have a well-stocked, reasonably priced store. There's a pool table and video library (to borrow, and I believe it's free to borrow a movie). They strictly observe their "quiet hours", but it's a good thing. There is a Dunkin Donuts at the entrance, an RV supply store 5 minutes away, and several fast food restaurants 5 minutes away. This campground is a great find if you're looking for a relaxing weekend! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground was very difficult to navigate, the roads were narrow and trees were on corners and very close to the road. Sites were narrow. The owners were too busy too enforce their own rules evidenced by several offenders which went unnoticed, there were no activities for children and the dump station only opened at 8 am, it was locked until then. Easy to get to, close to Boston. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a great park!! Finally a park that didn't charge extra to run the A/C. Staff is super friendly, eager to help. Well kept grounds, pool and playground very clean. Wi-fi worked great...quiet place to relax and enjoy your time here. We will stay here again if we're in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the best campgrounds we have ever been at. Just an overall good spot with very very, friendly staff. If you're on the road reading this, take it from a Canadian traveler, this is a great campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here 7 nights. This is an excellent campground in that they provide everything as advertised. There are modem hookups in a large room near the office plus we had excellent WiFi at our site. They have a well equipped rv supply section, good selection of groceries and CDs and tapes to use. The office staff was efficient, friendly and very helpful. We had a large oversized site next to both sets of restrooms, another media room that is combined with a game room, the heated pool, the laundry room and the office. The entire park is under pine trees on a hillside and is very attractive. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a lovely, heavily-wooded campground, convenient to the Interstate but amazingly quiet and restful. On our arrival, the extremely cordial staff made us feel comfortable, and nothing thereafter changed that. The facilities are great, from very neatly-kept grounds to a well-stocked store. Despite heavy trees, the roads and sites are easily negotiated. They also have a great cable TV system and multiple WiFi points. We could stay only a night, but would definitely recommend it to someone who wanted a base from which to explore the Boston area. This was a totally pleasant experience, and we'll stay here again on our way back south. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Camped here based on a friends suggestion. We have a long history of camping; but mostly at "resort" style places. This CG is not a resort, but it doesn't lack in cleanliness, friendliness of staff, pool, store, laundry & playground. For a holiday weekend (Labor Day) we expected planned activities that our sons could attend, but there really are not any. When I asked the front desk they replied that there just isn't enough interest; but not to miss the Clown & pancake breakfast! Both were terrific! The clown has been coming there for some 20 years plus they say! Bath house (yes only one) was always clean & I used it at very different times of the day. Pool was very clean. Playground was safe. Sites are not so level & CG has a lot of hills. No one has mentioned the "off leash dog area" --- maybe its new; but my lab (&I) LOVED it! Nice CG with very reasonable rates & great staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our second stay at this campground, and we were not disappointed. Wooded sites are a little tight but adequate, bathrooms and showers are the cleanest we've ever come across, staff is friendly. Pool is nice too. A great stopover or home base to tour the area. Big rig friendly too. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice campground . Lots of wooded sites . No problem with a 40' Motorhome . Campground was busy but remained quiet! We experienced a very nice relaxing stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground...we used their pull-through spot for one night. This is a great stop-over campground for traveling up to points north. In and out was very easy. Their restrooms were some of the cleanest that I've ever seen...anywhere. We will use this campground again when we travel north. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a great stop-over park which we use on our way to and from South Carolina each spring. It is convenient to Boston and not far off of 495. The park is heavily wooded and quite pretty. There is a great area to exercise your dog at the far end of the park. The restrooms are always spotless and heated (which is no small matter for New England in April/May). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very attractive and well-kept campground, with sites among tall pines and hardwood trees. Our site was a large, level pull-through. Since we were traveling at the end of the season, we had no trouble getting this nice site at 5:00 P.M. The woman at the check-in desk was friendly, and thanked us for choosing their campground. We were escorted to our site by a man in a golf cart. This service is something that campers don't see very often anymore. This is a Good Sam park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Overall a decent experience - best restrooms we've ever seen. Large, clean, free showers with all the hot water and pressure you'd want. Not much to do - no activities for the kids and the pool is tiny; I wouldn't use this as a destination but rather a home base from which to visit the area. Our site, technically a pull-through, was a tight fit. I made our reservations months in advance and mentioned our 30' trailer and 20' truck but there was barely enough room to park both on the site and getting out was tricky due to trees, rocks and site markers. You are a little crammed in but the sites are nicely wooded and considering the location so close to Boston, the price was reasonable. We would probably stay here again as we have family and friends in the area and it is convenient, clean, friendly and mostly quiet. A few barking dogs and early-morning risers woke us up, due to the close proximity of the sites, but overall a good experience. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Absolutely wonderful! Pleasant, cheerful staff, clean restrooms, quiet and best of all no golf carts. Your trash is picked up all day long, just leave it at the end of your site. Cute camping cabins. All sites were wooded. I would definitely go back here!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground with woody shaded sites. Bathrooms and showers were clean. However, they are only in one location which is a little inconvenient for some of the campsites. The camp is a very nice location to either kick back and relax or use a base to go site seeing in Boston and surrounding areas. Access to Boston was fairly easy either by driving or by taking the subway from a stop that was located not too far away. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Camped here for a weekend early in the season. Stopped by before they were open and the staff was very friendly and gave us a map of available sites for that weekend and we got to drive around and choose our site. Would defintely stay here again. No longer a KOA, gave it up in good standing to try it on thier own. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have a large group (approx. 8 families) that have visited this campground every year in September for the past 10+ years. Several families are in RVs and some of us use their camping cabins. Cabins contain a double bed and set of bunks. There's also heat and electricity in the cabins, and a water hook-up outside the cabin. Also, a lovely porch swing. I can't say enough about this campground! Since some of us need to use the restrooms, clean restrooms are very important to us! These are cleaned frequently and are never in disrepair. Showers are free and hot with great water pressure (a plus in my book). The owners live above the store/showers/laundry, and keep a close eye on the campground, without smothering you. They strictly enforce the quite time, but as long as you keep it down, they don't bother you. They have movies to rent (at a minimal charge, if any). The store is pretty good, too. There is a small, but well maintained playground for the kids, a basketball hoop, horseshoes, and small rec room with a few video games. We've never been there during the summer, so I can't comment on the pool, but it looks big enough for the size of the campground. There doesn't seem to be too many seasonals, mostly 'pass throughs', with very large motor homes. But the sites more than adqueately fit those larger rigs. There's a RV supply store 5 minutes down the street, so if you do
need anything, it's very convenient. There's also several fast food restaurants also 5 minutes down the street. Very well maintained campground! We always have a very enjoyable visit at Minuteman KOA! We camped here in a Campground Cabins.
