Boston Harbor Islands

Travel to Your Camping Island

 

Boston Harbor Islands campsites are accessible by boat only. See Travel by Ferry for park transportation information. Private boaters may use landing floats and docks for loading and unloading; users assume all risk. Dinghies are available on some islands for access to anchored vessels. (Private boaters use NOAA Chart 13270.)

Alternatives

Because of the ferry schedule, it is very difficult to visit the city while camping on the islands. An alternative plan is to stay at the Wompatuck State Park campground in Hingham. Hewitt's Cove is within a 15-minute drive from the state park, where there is week-day commuter boat service to downtown Boston. The Wompatuck phone number is 781-749-7160; the toll-free camping reservations number at ReserveAmerica.com is 877-422-6762.
