The Boston Harbor Islands offer rustic camping within sight of downtown Boston. Reserve a spot on one of the three islands that offer camping—Grape, Bumpkin (each with 10 sites for up to 4 people), or Lovells (3 sites for up to 4 people). If you have a crowd, group sites are also available.
We have all the details. The camping season generally runs from the end of May until the beginning of October. And the park ferry gets you and your camping gear to your island and back. Reservations are required for your campsite, but it’s easy to make one.
Rustic camping means no flush toilets, showers, fresh water, electricity, telephones, or supplies. So you’ll have to carry it all in, and carry it out. While you’re camping, you can see the sun rise over the harbor and experience the islands in a whole new light.
