I went about knee deep into the river and started to swim when I'd CUT MY STOMACH on a RUSTY PIPE that was sticking out of a piece of cement. When I'd brought this to the owners attention, he informed me that "It's always been there" which I found amusing because theres NO SIGN anywhere to warn anyone. There was no kind of apology or accommodation on their behalf, not even an agreement to put a sign up for resolve the matter what so ever. This was an atrocious way to handle the situation and they can be sure we are never coming back. Do not bring your kids here or go swimming unless you have a tetanus shot. It's site 37 just a heads up.

Went to this campground as a kid growing up with my family every summer until around age 10, but we…read morestopped going because we moved away from the area. I recently was back in town and decided to have a nostalgic stay at the campground. I called the office about a week and a half before I planned on visiting and they only had one site (#21) left. I told the manager Jack, that I'd take it! Initially only planning on visiting Tues thru Thurs, they require 4 nights minimum stay in the summer, with the reservation starting on a Sunday. So I reserved Sun thru Thurs, which was the only way to guarantee the site. My other option was to call that day I planned on arriving and hoping/praying the site was still available. It turned out better this way because I just started my vaca two days earlier. Only way to make a reservation is to call during office hours, 9am to 6pm. Both the check-in and check-out time is at 11am. The campground itself isn't that big, and I would guess there's no more than 10 sites available for weekly rentals, as it's mostly seasonal trailers/campers that occupy the remainder of the sites the whole season the campground is open. They open for the season around May 15th, and close for winter around Oct 15th. Site #21 is nestled between two permanent trailer sites, and sits low on the terrain. This means it will flood a little when it rains, but seems to dry out pretty quickly once the rain stops. It is fairly shaded by the pine trees, so it's was nice & cool during our stay. There is one main bathhouse with a men's bathroom (showers inside), a women's bathroom, and a separate women's shower room. There are also two individual bathrooms located behind the office. The showers are $.25 for 5 minutes of shower time. It's just enough time for a quick shower, but bring a 2nd quarter if you think you need a bit more time. The water is hot, which is nice as I'm used to showering w/ warm to cool water at most campgrounds, and they've added curtains to create a changing area outside each shower (new addition from when I was a kid). If camping in a tent, bring an air mattress or padding to sleep on as the ground is hard, and rocky. Every site has your standard fire ring & picnic table. If you need water for cooking, head up to the bathhouse and use the stainless steel sink outside next to the ladies room. This is also a good place to wash your dishes. Pricing is $35 per site per day for 2 ppl and one vehicle. Additional adults are an extra $10/day, kids (ages 5-17) are an extra $5/day, and parking for extra vehicles is also an extra $5/day. Cash or check only. No pets allowed. Ice sold in the office is cheaper & the bag is bigger than the ones sold up the street at the Shore Road Market (red building at fork in road). The office also sells firewood, and some individual canned soda, bottled water, candy bars & ice cream bars. Be advised there are lots of skunks (which hasn't changed since my childhood). They won't bother you, but be aware at dusk/night where you're walking and make sure to toss your trash in the dumpster each day to help avoid an overnight visit. This campground is located right along the ocean and a river. The main beach area is pretty small at high tide, but becomes a nice big area at low tide. Just bring water shoes because the ground is rocky & covered in shells/crabs at low tide. The tide also changes quick so make sure to keep an eye on your belongings when it's coming in, to make sure they don't get swept out. There's also a smaller beach closer to the bridge, and is accessible via the road just next to the office. People still jump off the bridge at high tide, which they've been doing since I was a kid. If you head towards the ocean side of the campground, where the road loops, there's another pathway that leads to the rocks overlooking the ocean & Nubble Light lighthouse. Just watch your step cause the rocks can get slippery at low tide! Also, make sure to stay off other people's sites. If you don't, they'll be sure to let you know it's 'private property'. A great little campground to stay at, with beautiful ocean views! Would def recommend!

Lorraine Campground at Harold Parker State Forest is one of the best camping locations in Mass.,…read moreespecially if you want to be in the woods and yet be close to civilization. The ~4000 acre forest has a dedicated entrance to the campground with several rangers assigned to it. The sites can be extremely spacious and isolated or be smaller and more social. It really is your choice. Safe swimming, fishing, bike riding, and hiking are abundant. The educational programs are posted, including weekly hikes, bike rides, and fishing lessons (they provide everything for novices). They even have a bonfire on Sat. nights during the camping season. The bathrooms are cleaned daily and are typically in excellent condition, including free showers and hot water. A donation is requested for the mandatory kiln-dried firewood ($5/bundle or $10/3 bundles). All sites have potable water. No sites have electricity. Alcohol is prohibited (and this is posted prominently). People who get caught drinking (typically because they are obnoxious) are asked to leave immediately. The state police barracks is just down the road, so help is nearby if others get rowdy. It is amazing to really be in the woods so close to Boston. Booking a site in advance online is highly recommended; walk-ins/drive-ups are permitted if there is space available. The fees are extremely reasonable ($12/night).

Beautiful sites available right on the water. Other site away from the water area available too. 3. SUPER easy check-in. 4. Not a ton of rules/regulations like most campgrounds and there didn't need to be as everyone is very respectful there, like it should be! 5. Dogs allowed as long as they are on a leash at all times. Again, not a lot of red tape, paperwork and rules to bring your dog camping which is so nice! 6. Campground and facilities are well maintained and clean. 7. Great location with lots to do nearby. 8. Wood for campfires available for $4 a bundle. Cons 1. We picked a site #56 because it was on the water and close to one of the bathroom locations listed on their map. While they were certainly close, they were actually porta pottys, not actual bathrooms with running water. Not a huge deal ,but had we know this, we probably would've picked a site closer to one of the real bathrooms with running water. 2. No central location to wash dishes other than your campsite. 3. Some of the sites along the water are very narrow and close together. We could actually hear the couple in the site next to us talking every morning when they woke up and it was not because they were loud. 4. No campground store so if you forgot something, you're going to have to venture out in the surrounding area to find what you need. There is plenty nearby, but it's always nice if you can just get it from the campground store. Your best options are site 61 if you want a nice, large site on the water (not a lot of privacy) or site 65 for a nice, large site, but very private with only one site next to you and the other side is trees. If you like camping in an open field with other campers and don't mind the lack of privacy, they have that option too. Really something for everyone. One last note, showers are 50 cents for 6 minutes. Not a pro or con in my opinion, but certainly worth mentioning so you are prepared when you get there!
