The Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) is teaming up with Bronco Wild Funds to offer a free camping weekend at Otter River State Forest. This event is perfect for first-time family campers – we hope you can join us!
Our friendly DCR staff will be there to help you set up your campsite, show you how to build and put out a safe campfire, and share tips on cooking outdoors. Throughout the weekend, you can try fishing, hiking, and other fun activities. At night, we’ll gather around a cozy campfire to listen to stories and make delicious s’mores!
Bring your own sleeping bags or bedding, food, drinks, cooking utensils, clothes, and anything else you’d like for a fun and comfortable weekend. DCR has 6-person tents and camp stoves for families to borrow, if needed.
To join us, please email Amy.Wilmot@mass.gov. Please note: A $50 refundable deposit is required to hold your campsite. It will be returned to you after you attend the campout.
We’re excited to see you there! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
