We're planning on spending 3 days in the Boston area this July. Does anyone have any knowledge of Rusnik campground in Salisbury which is about 40 miles north of the city. It's convenient to trains into the city and also close to the beaches. I couldn't find any reviews on the RV park reviews website. Anyone stayed there or heard about this campground ?
Also, any suggestions on things to do for 3 days in Boston ?
If you are in town on the 4th of July, be sure to visit the USS Constitution as she make her "turn around" We were fortunate to be onboard for the July 4th, 2002 turn around.
Minuteman Campground is the campground near Boston that I have seen recommended the most on forums. I have never camped here.
This is a post that I made in July 2006. I have not check the links since then.

Rusnik is nice, it is quaint, well cared for. Commuter rail is out of Newburyport, next town over. The note above about Black Bear is the first nice thing I have heard about it. Black Bear usually has voltage problems, limited pool hours and nasty owners. Rusnik owners are nice. Gloucester is on the commuter rail as well so either place you can get to Boston.
Poiselle, thanks for all the Boston information. I checked out the Duck Tours and that's in our plans. All the rest of it puts a lot of great resources in one place and will be really useful.
I second the Duck Tour. It's a hoot. The Swan Boats are great, too-nice and relaxing. Be sure to book the campground soon. They fill up fast for the 4th, especially since it's on a Friday this year.
