Wompatuck State Park — Hotel in Hingham

Park is beautiful and well covered with trees. Review is of the electric spots; Many spots are smaller, 45' or so. Appear to be built up with sand and rock, especially the M sites around the edge. These also have small creeks around them and the water sounds are great. You will get sand all up in the place you stay. Water drainage travels around many spots. About 50/50 RVs and tents. Verizon has 2-3 bars and loads slow, but does load. The bath house in row K is the middle as well as the dunpster. There are several paths for shorter distances to it, but some cross user locations and should be avoided. Bathrooms are probably the worst I've seen in a park. 1 of 3 showers had no hot water. Always dirty, but chipped floor and constant sand make it worse. Tile on shower walls is broken chipped, cracked. Shower faucet is a single rusted jet. Some showers drain slow so you are standing in 2" of water after a few minutes. Once I went in there and it looked like the whole toilet stall was just sprayed down (everything dripping wet). The rangers are extremely nice and helpful. There are potable water locations every 5-10 customer spots. I saw one RV with a hose connected to it. The park is great, just be nice with more and better bath houses (girls says there side is rough too).

The campsites are more than a mile in the park, so it takes time to get in and out.

They had a kids movie at the welcome center on a blow up screen.

Starlink will have trouble as there are very few views of the sky due to tree cover. All the trees look healthy and in good...

The two points are for beeing "close" to Downtown/Park & Ride, the trails and if you need it, for the shade. Other than that it's one of the most overpriced (65 usd per night for electric, only electric 30/50 hook ups, no water on site) for what it offers. We usually know that the sites in State Parks are biger than they describe. Here they are marked for 35'feet, which is not true. So I called the office before making the reservation to ask which site is for a 35' 5Th Wheel, that would as well fit the Truck. So we got offered Site M022 - the size was fine, BUT the power did not work. I reported it, the Ranger said: We know that certain Sites have a problem with the power!!! Why then you don't fix them??? And have them open for reservations AND offer them??? So we moved to Site 025, all good and we fitted in with our 36' easily. Most of the sites can easy take RV up to 38' - for example M027, M028, M018, K014, K009, L05 and K010 are the best for long rigs and there are more. I hope other people will as well mark some sites that fit easily for a bigger rig. I could go to check more, but as said, lots of the sites are big enough, which is actually nice - BUT would be important to know. Bathrooms - Womens, so far ok, the showers should be renovated! It's just a pitty that lots of State Parks, the workers don't take really good care of them - Maintenance would be the key. Cutting some trees a bit back from the...

Wompatuck State Park has the most poorly maintained campground I've ever seen. The restroom/bathhouse situation is appalling. Upon arrival, the only working toilets were at the campground office restroom. This one "working" restroom at the office was dirty, and the ladies' side was out of order when we departed. One of the bathhouses at the electric campground was locked, out of use completely. The toilets at the other campground bathhouses were out of order and had been replaced with stinky, dirty port-o-lets. The showers featured cold water typically, lukewarm water at best. The shower benches on the men's side were moldy. The bathhouses were not cleaned on a regular basis. Later in the week, the bathhouses and toilets were shut down completely for a day or two! It was really gross and unsanitary.

It would have been nice to know beforehand that the electric was only 110, and no water hookup at the campsite. The entire park showed signs of deferred maintenance.

On the plus side, our campsite itself was nice, level and shady--although littered with trash when we arrived. We liked the town of Hingham and Nantasket Beach near Hull. We used the Hingham to Boston ferry, plenty of parking at the ferry terminal, and the ferries ran on time. We planned to take the Red Line from Braintree but no parking available at the T station. The ferry was a fun and pleasant...
