Campgrounds near Andover, Massachusetts
Andover sits in Essex County about an hour north of Boston, and its main draw for RV travelers is Harold Parker State Forest, a 3,000-acre block of hardwood, hemlock, and white pine forest with numerous ponds and miles of trails. The forest's Harold Parker State Forest Lorraine Park campground is the closest developed camping option, with the campground address at 133 Jenkins Road in Andover.
Private options extend the range for larger rigs and longer stays. Country Shore Camping Area and Golden Acres Family Campground offer family-oriented sites within driving distance, while Mill Brook RV Park caters to travelers wanting full-service hookups. Lone Tree Reservation rounds out the local list for those searching short trips from the Merrimack Valley.
The area works well as a base for exploring the North Shore, the Merrimack River corridor, and downtown Boston, all reachable by car or commuter rail from nearby stations.
Things to do near Andover
Harold Parker State Forest anchors most outdoor plans. Recreational opportunities include hiking, mountain biking, fishing, canoeing, hunting, horseback riding and picnicking, with logging roads and trails open to hikers, bikers, and riders. Loops around the forest's ponds work well for families looking for shorter walks.
Beyond the forest, day trips reach Salisbury Beach and the Atlantic coast to the east, historic Salem and Marblehead to the south, and the Merrimack River towns of Lawrence, Haverhill, and Newburyport. Boston museums, sports venues, and the Freedom Trail are roughly an hour away by car or commuter rail.
Colder-weather visitors can ice skate on state forest ponds and cross-country ski the trail network when conditions allow.

Andover has a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons. The public camping season at Harold Parker State Forest typically runs from May through mid-October, so RV plans should be built around that window. A daily parking fee is charged at the state forest during the warm season.
Summer is the peak booking period. July and August bring the warmest weather and the highest demand for weekend sites, and Massachusetts DCR limits stays to a set number of cumulative days in any one park during the summer holiday season. Spring and early fall are quieter, with mild days, cool nights, and strong foliage color in October.
Winter closes most public campgrounds in the region. Private parks may operate on shortened seasons, and snow, ice, and cold nights make full-hookup service unreliable. Verify open dates directly with each campground before traveling in the shoulder months.

How to book a campsite near Andover
Harold Parker State Forest Lorraine Park is reserved through the Massachusetts DCR reservation system on ReserveAmerica. Reservations are required and no walk-in camping is allowed. Bookings can be made up to 4 months prior to the arrival date, and popular summer weekends fill quickly at that four-month mark.
Eleven campsites offer 20/30/50 amp electrical hookups; the remaining sites are non-electric but each has a picnic table, fire ring, pedestal grill, and water spigot. Comfort stations have showers and flush toilets, and the dumping station is available for registered campers only.
Private parks in the area accept reservations directly through their own websites or phone lines. Book early for holiday weekends.
What to expect when RV camping near Andover
Sites at Lorraine Park are spread out sufficiently to provide a real forest camping experience rather than a resort feel. Most sites are non-electric, so plan for generator hours, solar, or a shorter trip if the rig depends on shore power. The dump station is available for registered campers only.
Massachusetts prohibits the transportation of firewood into or out of any DCR campground, and firewood must be purchased at the campground. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited in all Massachusetts state parks and campgrounds, and a current rabies certificate must be presented at check-in and pets must be leashed at all times.
Check-in time is 1:00 to 9:00 pm, with check out by 11:00 am. Private parks in the area generally allow more flexibility on hookups and guests.
