One of the few places that has year-round camping in MA. It's an easy 2.5 hour drive from Boston. Had a fantastic stay over Veteran's Day holiday. Off season camping is first come, first served. I had no problem getting a site. Several grocery stores are within a 10-20 minute drive. Lots of hiking and exploring available within the park, as well as non-motorized boating on the pond. As of this writing, campground fee for MA residents is $14 per night. The view of the pond from sites 8, 9, 10, and 11 is lovely. The only drawback I can see is most of the campsites aren't terribly private. This was not an issue in November because I pretty much had the place to myself.
