Wompatuck State Park

An amazingly diverse recreational state park. Its a fantastic place for hiking, biking, camping, picnics, kayaking, etc. Wompatuck is a wonderfully tranquil spot to spend a day, either by yourself, with a friend, or with the family. There are tons of hidden gems to this park only the frequent adventurer can find. A highly recommended place to visit if you have the opportunity.

This is a great place to go hiking and biking. Ive come here a bunch of times and always try a new trail. They have areas for picnicking with tables. Love it here! The trails by the water are really beautiful.

Love this park for biking. I ride the paved trails. Just enough hills. Clean. People are nice, going about their own business. I ll be back.

This is a great spacious State Park with large treed camping lots that have a feel of privacy. Park also has nice walking/biking paths accessible from the campground loops. Clean and well maintained. Most of the sites are electric only or it would receive five stars.

Safe, scenic trails for walking and biking. Fun to visit year-round, though keep in mind the hours change on the off-season. Most of the trails here are paved and they are maintained regularly and cleared from fallen debris. Elevation varies depending on your location in the park. Ammenities are offered too, such a campsite, mountain bike course, and visitor center. All in all, a great place to see some foliage, get some exercise, or take in the view.

Nice place to car camp. Close to home for a relaxing outdoor getaway. Went on a Sunday to Monday. My boyfriend and I felt like we were the only ones there. Super relaxing...just us a fire and some coyotes and owls off in the distance. Hiking trails are odd though as they are paved. Maybe we just havent found the ones that are not....will be back soon.

Great network of trails to walk or bike. Well marked and easy to use app to know your exact location.

My girlfriend and I are becoming avid hikers, But we also have a puppy Siberian husky and shes not quite ready for some really intense hiking. Wompatuck is a perfect medium of trails large and small. Paved roads, camp grounds, fresh water springs. Its massive and has been great every time we go. Also great for biking trails. Get a map because it is very large and somewhat confusing if you dont know where you are going.

One of the bigger and better State parks in Massachusetts. Great for hikes, plenty of natural scenery.

There are so many trails/ places to explore. The staff are friendly and helpful. The sites are a good size and not to close together.

Outstanding in every way. Great hiking and walks around the park. Outstanding views and well maintained trails.

Beautiful wooded paved, unpaved paths, keeping everyone cool from the blistering sun. A great place for people with varying degrees of affinity to nature.

It was nice to be close to the city but still out in nature. The campsite was nice with electric. The bathrooms were a little further and not as clean as other campgrounds we’ve stayed in.

Great place to camp, could keep bathrooms a bit cleaner, and not let others reserve your site while youre still occupying it. Keep it to more hotel/motel rules, such as once your stay is up, if you want to extend your stay in the same site, you should be able to without a problem, but its not bad.

We spent 2 nights in loop F during a heat wave a few weeks ago in our RV. The site was excellent, secluded given many of the neighboring sites were closed due to Covid-19. Wompatuck is a very large campground, but over half of the loops were also closed. There are many hiking trails and several ponds to hike around. There are many bike paths, but we unfortunately didnt have our bikes with us. Wompatuck is also fairly close to Worlds End, a Trustees of the Reservation owned hiking trail currently open to members only by appointment. All in all, we enjoyed our time despite the heat.

Amazing place to go walking, biking, riding, fishing and camping. The campsites are very nice but there were some noisey neighbors that staYed out until 3 in the morning. The walking paths are very nice and well kept.

Very pretty, especially in Fall.Very crowded all the time. Lots of bikes and kids. Worth a VERY slow ride to the top and back. Some folks are even nice.

Nice area. Well kept. Excellent staff. Would camp there again.

Loved our stay. We had a racoon visit us the last nigth. That guy was huge but friendly.

Pump track should be for warming up, but to let your toddler run loose??? Im a dad myself and I was annoyed. Take your child to a flat area out of the way not a bike track. And parents, I understand you care about your child....but dont stand on the track and watch from the side instead so you are not blocking ppl who are riding. Trails were nice and quiet, wanted to give 5 stars.

Beautiful country great for exercise or camping. Go on adventure and find the old army bunkers on the many trails last I knew free spring water not sure about the coronavirus though.

Gaia in her finest form

Very peaceful and wonderful bike riding. I hope they open more extensively next year. Also the camp showers need a through cleaning in a regular basis.

So nice and clean and theres so many different trails and walks. Great for dogs and kids.

Really good place for walking, hiking, bike riding. Varied terrian. Something for everyone. Largest public undeveloped land on the south shore. Be sure to get a map so you dont get lost . Available at ranger station and kiosks on trail system.

Beautiful trails with a good number to pick from. Not too many people.

Place is nice. We came here for camping in Fall, it was beautiful.

Showers cold! Every single time. Bathrooms unclean. People in office wonderful. Super super super super expensive. Cost me $68 per night. Terrible price. I would not suggest this place. We have stayed in many state parks. Probably the worst. Besides the kind people I. Office.

This place is so beautiful anf great place to go. Only downfall are people speeding

Should spread people out a little more. Maybe every other site or so. Otherwise its a nice stay!

Great for biking and walking. Most paths are wide and smooth.

For someone who is an avid camper this location is absolutely the best ever. The staff is amazing the location is so easy to get in and out of. The campsites are clean and spacious the bathrooms have the most amazing hot water showers ever. Not to mention the fishing is pretty good my daughter caught a great size catfish

Loved the trails through the woods. Convenient parking and clean facilities.

Amazing spot to camp, walk, run, bike, fill up on spring water, or just enjoy a gorgeous spot for picnic and such! Beautifully maintained and well managed! A gem!

So peaceful & quiet! Great place to stay while visiting the Boston area!! Ferry rides across the bay available at nearby Hingham.

Great park with lot of options to hike, trail run and bike. Trails are well marked. Gentle rolling hills. Track for bike ride for kids and family. Great views of lakes from some trails. Lot of different kinds birds to see early morning around the lake. Deers and turkeys can be spotted in early morning hours. Certain parts of the park are open to hunting of the deers and turkeys during hunting season. Plenty of parking available.

Great place to bike, plenty of paved roada and trails. Big camping area and you can walk all over.

Nice busy park. Deer. Turkey. Quiet. Would be great place if they had sewer @ some of sites. Need to clean out the poison ivy in the sites. Need T to get some bleach & clean the showers.

Its a beautiful place. Spread out and fun to explore.

Giant park with so many places to hike/bike as well as gorgeous scenery.

Camped here (in our van) - lovely spot. Right outside of Hingham. Lots of biking, hiking. We’d go back!!

Peaceful. Lots of trails for different challenges for hiking and biking. Great for off leash dog exploring. Get a map at the visitor center so youll be able to find your way out. There are also camp grounds available.

Beautiful, relaxing, plenty of trails, just please reopen the spring

Came in today to ask some questions because of covid 19 and possibly take a quick tour of the campground before booking but the check-in person I spoke to was very rude. I expect that there are some changes because of COVID 19 but he completely dismissed me and shoved two maps of the campground instead of answering any questions. Needless to say we chose not to book at this campground. My advice - exercise some patience with campers as many things have changed with covid 19 so we may have more questions.

Great place to go moveNot as empty as we would like for the pandemic, but much less busy than some other parks I have visited.

I have been coming here since discovering it about a year and a half ago.I have come both as a person attending dog training walks as well as for leisure. Hikes through all the different trails and around all the streams are just magical.The place has ample parking and is extremely quiet.You won’t get bored of this place because there are so many trails to discover.Only con: Beware of the mountain bikes that come flying around. They’re generally nice people but at pretty scary speeds.

Restrooms are awful. Showers dont get warm and are nasty and not convenient. The grounds are all one way and may be confusing to a novice. They are kinda secluded which is nice and each has a nightlight thing and a picnic table and campfire. If you are an out of towner dont go bc they jack up the prices ridiculously at least during the pandemic. 67 dollars for one night at a 3 star state park. The person was very helpful and kind and knowledgeable. I wouldnt recommend it but you do you.

Has nice trails and the reservoir was beautiful!

Campsites are spaced well enough apart to be comfortable

Beautiful quiet..a great place for a walk/hike

Love camping here!! Great trails to run your dogs and nice campsites. Staff is awesome!!! My site didn’t have a fire pit but i got satellite so I was bummed to move for a fire. One of the host volunteers and student volunteers built one right up!! It was awesome. Great to be in the woods and enjoy the night sounds so close to so many great towns and cities.

Wonderful park, quiet, relaxing and hot showers!

Love this place. Did you know you can get FREE spring water there? Very nice and clean water, no need to filter. There are two faucets available. Just take your gallons with you.

Reasonably well kept State park with many powered sites. Pandemic currently means every other site is shut down as well as at least one loop.

Great park. Central to so many events and attractions. S short drive will get you to the MBTA and the Boston environs. The South shore has loads of great little restaurants.

Sweet fresh air! Quiet and the people you do meet are friendly

A nice place to get some much needed walking in, as well as a nature fix.

Its peaceful well taking care of trails.

This park is huge and has plenty of walking, biking with great views and hidden spots to explore.

Very nice Campground. Bathrooms are very clean. I wasnt happy about not having a water hookup on the site but once I was here that changed. There are water stations set up within a site or two and a great dish washing station at every bathroom. I had a few water jugs that I kept filling and everything was great. We never missed having it on the site directly. No outside wood is allowed but the price for wood is cheaper here than other campgrounds and was very reasonable. 15$ a day was plenty. The sites are big and the neighbors are far. Every site has trees and brush between the next. The event calendar included historical tours about WWII and the history of the wars fought right here in this very park and tell the story of the people that lived here at that time. I didnt explore the hiking trails but that seemed to be what most of the people here were doing during the day so I will be sure to try that out next time. We will be back soon.

Beautiful woodsy park with awesome trails and nice sites. Some sites are not very level and all have only electric but there are many spots for water and there is a dump station.

Large camping areas, if you like space and little interaction with other campers, this is your stop. Stayed maximum time of two weeks. closest place to park my 38 motorhome to Boston south shore area.

This was one of the best campsites I have ever been to. The staff was extremely polite and willing to take care of their guests. The bathrooms are very very well maintained. I felt no problem showering or going to the bathroom. Out of the 6+ campsites I have been too, this was the best one with good area, clean bathrooms, and a lot of shade in the 100 degree weather.

This is a great spot to get out and Mountain Bike or walk. I love being out in nature.

Amazing place for mountain biking.

Camped here about ten years ago, passing through the area again didnt hesitate to stop again. What a huge surprise to find a whole new campground. Plenty of walking trails and competition off road bicycle track/trails. Shower stalls were small fiberglass units where at 52 I could not raise my arm up straight above my head. Stalls needed shower curtains cuz water sprays out into your dry dressing area. Bathrooms were very clean. Park is like a 3 mile bike ride to Ferry that can take you right to downtown Boston waterfront.

Amazing old Naval ammunition annex

Staff are awesome and bathrooms are clean

I think this is a great place to run, walk, hike, bike, and just spend some good time outdoors. It has beautiful trails, some dirt, some gravel and some concrete. I really enjoy it and think it is a great place!

Large wooded sites20 amp electric in one campground the other is lots of tents no electricity. 2 showers in the womans side. Campsites about 100 feet + thickly wooded. I had 15 M against the woods.

Very nice State Park. 50 amp service, NO water or sewer hookup. The sites are shaded with a lot of privicey. The park has a lot of trails and free kayak trips on weekend.

Such a beautiful park. It seems to be well-maintenanced!

Great place for short day hiking. Great trails well maintained easy to follow. Often see the Random moments of Nature. Deer, Fox, Fisher Cats, Owls. all doing there thing.

Beautiful stunning place to explore. Happy wildlife and grounds. Nice place to get out of the hustle and bustle of city life. Campground is very nice. Cant see your neighbors. Hook ups are nice for summer when its hot and humid. Dump station is near the entrance.

Loved this campground. They could pay better attention to the cleanliness of the bathhouses, but otherwise we have thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay here in our 39 foot Class A diesel pusher.

Campsites are spread apart and have a lot of dry wood to keep the fire going. All fair game just dont break down living vegetations. FYI you cannot swim in the lakes.

Great for long distance runs, but make sure you bring enough water.

Beautiful rock trails. Lots of space to adventure and explore.

Great for walking but there are ghosts of Indians whose land we stole from them. Dont go off track. Watch out for grizzly bears as well.

Love this place BUT, last night, (7/4) people were making a tremendous amount of noise at 2AM, way beyond quiet time. I dont think any rangers were around to ask the noisy campers to be quiet! Otherwise, this is one of my favorite spots to take the kids camping!

Beautiful nature and a sight to remember.

Wide open space and nearby.

Very nice state campground that we camp at in our Motorhome. Park has an excellent staff. The sites we use do not have sewer but they have a dump site.

So fun lots of Wild life

I am new to camping and state parks. Restrooms were clean. Sites were well marked and the map was easy to read. Staff very friendly and helpful.Sites are very close together. Great if you want to go with a group since sites are limited to 4 ppl per site. Its like you are actually all together. Can be awkward when you dont know the other ppl.Fire ring could have used some work. The stones were small and loose. I didnt get the sturdy feel I expect from a fire ring in a forest.We were here at the beginning of the season. If there were water sports or swimming options we didnt see them. The only open space to play was next to the restroom. People were friendly and my son had no trouble finding kids to play with.

Nice place to biking, hiking, fishing and camping

I work here and they pay well

We love this park! There are plenty of trails for walking and biking. Bathrooms are in the welcome center and seem well kept up. About 2 miles into the park is Mt Blue Springs. We love stopping there to refill our water gallons when we are in the area!

Amazing Place to camp, or just go for the day, or just take a walk or bike ride. One of the nicest State Parks around! Love this place!

Amazing paved and unpaved trails. Great family fun riding bikes through nature.

It is my favorite place to go and relax. You can walk and never go on the same trail it seems.

One of the best spots in New England for mountain biking. A great maze of trails, with plenty of different terrain to suit everyone except the purely gravity oriented. The only two problems will be a) finding the time to ride every trail and b) locating which trails best suit your skills.Go, get lost, have fun!

A jewel of the south shore. Its a huge park with extensive system of paved bike trails and walking trails. It also has a camping section.

A great place for the pups to run to their hearts content!!!!!!

Great hiking trails. You can take a short hike or an all day hike through the trails and really explore.

I love hiking here

Free parking, good cycling paths both paved and unpaved

In terms of mountain biking this place is a mixed bag. There are good parts in wompatuck such as the jump area and the pump track at the visitor center. In addition there is a route I enjoy called the Landmine Cat 3 Loop (you can find it on the Trailforks app). But everywhere else is like I said a mixed bag. For example much of the northern part is just slow, un-flowey tech. Some of these trails simply feel like hiking trails as they extremely rocky and really not much fun to ride. I would recommend going here but only do the parts that I have recommend previously in this review.

Very large park with plenty of trails

I would have given it 5 stars if they had more RV sites with water & sewer. The bathrooms were clean. The staff was fantastic & the grounds were well maintained. The sites were private, dogs were on leashes, kids were having fun.
