Great campgrounds and state parks welcome you to South of Boston/Plymouth

Among the choices of lodgings and accommodations South of Boston, Massachusetts, are public and private campgrounds. Massachusetts campgrounds are operated at many of the dozens of state forests, state parks, and reservations. A stay at an MA campground at Horseneck Beach State Reservation, Massasoit State Park, Miles Standish State Forest, Wompatuck State Park is a wonderful and inexpensive outdoor-oriented vacation for children and families, and people who love the beach, fishing, swimming, boating, and hiking. Just a step away from Boston, Cape Cod, and Providence, Rhode Island, this region is home to Plymouth and Plymouth Rock, landing place of the Mayflower, and the wonderful Plimoth Plantation, a living history museum. Other highlights of the region are the city of New Bedford, a historic old whaling capital, and Battleship Cove, in the city of Fall River, and where visitors can explore a Naval warship.
