BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) has announced the opening of reservations for camping at parks across Massachusetts will officially open on March 6, 2024, at 9 a.m. Visitors are eligible to make reservations at one of DCR’s campgrounds up to four months ahead of their arrival date through ReserveAmerica. Reservations are available for DCR’s 25 campgrounds from April through October.
“One of our goals at DCR is to get more families outside and exploring our state’s beautiful natural resources”, said DCR Commissioner Brian Arrigo. “We know fresh air and the outdoors play a critical role, not only for our physical health but our mental health. Camping in our DCR parks is a fantastic opportunity for people to experience nature, and we hope to see some new faces during the 2024 camping season,” added Arrigo.
DCR has made some substantial investments in many campgrounds across the state over this past year. The campground at Mohawk Trail State Forest underwent a $1.4 million renovation in February 2023, and upgrades included the installation of a new water system, repaving the campground’s roads, replacing roofs on the cabins and administrative buildings, and upgrades to the bathroom facilities as well.
Last year, the DCR welcomed more than 50,000 camping reservations across the Commonwealth.
