The Boston Harbor Islands offer rustic camping within sight of downtown Boston. Individual sites can fit up to four people, while group sites are also available for larger parties.  Reserve a spot on one of the four camping islands—Grape, Bumpkin, Lovells, or Peddocks. Grape and Bumpkin Island each have 10 individual camp sites; Peddocks and Lovells each have 6 individual sites.

We have all the details. The camping season generally runs from the end of June until Labor Day weekend. And the park ferry gets you and your camping gear to your island and back. Reservations are required for your campsite through Reserve America.

Rustic camping means no flush toilets, showers, fresh water, electricity, telephones, or onsite supplies. So you’ll have to carry it all in, and carry it out. While you’re camping, you can see the sunrise over the harbor and experience the islands in a whole new light.
