Boondocking in Massachusetts!

Boondocking in Massachusetts is difficult to find due to the lack of federal recreation lands. There are no national forests and no BLM lands. The state does not allow dispersed camping within its state forest system either. There are some free camping opportunities within its state wildlife management areas and state fishing lakes.
