Wampatuck State Park







Arrived here on June 9 and plan on staying here to visit our Boston family until June 20 when we start our journey east. We traveled through six states on one day and spent $77 on toll roads on interstate 95. The George Washington Bridge in New York was the pitts. We waited over an hour to pay our $32 toll to cross this broken down bridge. All trucks were mandated to cross the bridge as they also have a tunnel which will not accomodate large vehicles. The lanes were so narrow, that one trucker decided, smartly, not to pass me on the left lane. I have seen smoother county dirt roads. I would not recommend taking the interstate 95 again.
This is a very nice park nestled into thick forest. They cut just enough trees to navigate into each site. This is the first campground we have stayed which only had 20 amp electric. I would not try using air conditioning here without using the generator. We tripped the breaker just making breakfast with the toaster and coffee pot on. Fortunately the previous owners had an unused 30 to 20 adapter so I could get access to electric. We are here for 11 days so we will have to move the rig to dump and restock our water supply once while we are here. We are in a nice level space and except for week ends we almost have this campground to ourselves. (very quiet) Camping here is $17 per night and I rate this park F***. We are located in Hingham, Mass., an upscale city just south of Boston with very large old stately homes on huge 1 plus acre lots.



We have been very busy visiting family and cruising old stomping grounds like the Boston Common, Nantasket Beach, and Castle Island. We did take a day trip to an arboretum with over 3000 species of plants and trees from all around the globe. This 265 acre park is maintained by Harvard University and the city of Boston. Buddy has been enjoying his long walks wherever we go. We also brought him to a vet to get updated with shots and physical. He is also scheduled to go to a dog groomer and get his bath and trim.
