Harold Parker State Park

Trade the noise for pine trees, lake air, and a night that actually lets you sleep.

Campsite 79 sits deep in the Andover woods beside one of the state park's most peaceful stretches of water. No cramped lots, no rush — just you, your tent or rig, and the quiet that comes with being this far off the road.

About Our Site

A campsite that feels like it was put there just for you

Campsite 79 isn't one of those crowded, cookie-cutter spots where your tent bumps into three other rigs. It's a properly spaced site tucked into the pines along the park's quieter shoreline — the kind of place where you hear water lapping instead of traffic.

Harold Parker State Park spans over 2,500 acres of Massachusetts woodland, and Campsite 79 takes full advantage of that setting. Mornings start with loons calling across the water. Evenings bring fireflies and the kind of star visibility you don't get anywhere near the Route 128 corridor.

What's Available

Everything you need, nothing you don't

State park amenities mean you get the essentials done well — clean facilities, reliable hookups, and easy access to the outdoors.

Electric Hookups

30 and 50-amp electrical connections available at select sites, so your RV or camper stays powered all weekend.

Potable Water

Clean drinking water stations throughout the campground — no guesswork about whether the tap water's safe.

Restrooms & Showers

Modern, well-maintained bathhouses with hot showers, flush toilets, and sink areas — a world away from porta-potties.

Picnic Tables & Fire Rings

Every site comes with a picnic table and a designated fire ring — just bring your own firewood and set the mood.

Hiking & Biking Trails

Over 20 miles of marked trails wind through the park — from easy lakeside strolls to rugged uphill loops.

Park Information Center

Trail maps, permit info, and seasonal guidance are available at the visitor center — helpful whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth.

Why Camp Here

Some memories only happen when you unplug

There's a difference between a vacation and a reset. A vacation keeps you busy with plans. A reset gives you back your weekends — the kind where the loudest decision of the day is what to cook over the fire.

Campsite 79 at Harold Parker gives you that. It's close enough to Andover to reach without a GPS, but far enough from the grid that your phone battery actually lasts. Come for the lake. Stay for the silence.
