Spacious Skies Minute Man was a great campground for our needs. We stayed in a tent for two nights in Mid-October 2025, and we had a great experience.

Spacious Skies Minute Man was a great campground for our needs. We stayed in a tent for two nights in Mid-October 2025, and we had a great experience. Our site was clean, the fire pit was big and didn’t create much smoke, and it was peaceful at night. The surrounding area was a bit more active than we would’ve liked, but it was still beautiful especially in the fall. The facilities were big and clean, and the camp store offered many options including firewood and kindling. The store staff was helpful and kind, offering advice for our trip. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a getaway in upstate Massachusetts, with easy access to Boston, Salem, and even New Hampshire/Maine. Thank you to SSMM for the great experience, making our fall camping trip one to remember for a long time.

We stayed here for two nights in July 2025 while passing through and then we stayed for a month in Oct/Nov 2025. Both times we had a great stay! Each site is gravel, level, has a picnic table, and has really cool stone fire pits. It’s very wooded, so our Starlink didn’t work great, but we had fantastic T-Mobile service. The trees made it tight for our 45’ class A, but that was really just for our... We stayed here for two nights in July 2025 while passing through and then we stayed for a month in Oct/Nov 2025. Both times we had a great stay! Each site is gravel, level, has a picnic table, and has really cool stone fire pits. It’s very wooded, so our Starlink didn’t work great, but we had fantastic T-Mobile service. The trees made it tight for our 45’ class A, but that was really just for our short stay in the pull through site. Highly recommend sites 67 or 68! Very private! We are fully contained, so I can’t vouch for the bathhouse. The pool was already closed when we were there for our longer stay, but they have an arcade and game area. The dog park was also nice. The location is nice; it is easy access to I-495, it’s about 45 minutes to Boston, and it’s within 30 minutes to Concord and other historic towns. It’s also close to a commuter train into Boston. There are numerous trails and paved rail trails in the area. TIP: If you’re towing a vehicle, I highly recommend stopping at St. Anne’s Catholic Church down the road to unhook/hookup. They have a huge paved parking lot, and it was much easier than trying to unhook in the campground.

Friendly staff, easy booking. Really nice well maintained campground..the site we had #6 was perfect for my Camper and it had enough room to drop the back door on my toy hauler. The place is clean, the bathrooms were very nice. Shower was awesome, plenty of hot water. I think Spacious Skies location is my favorite so far, I've stayed at about a 1/2 dozen. We will be back again.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Spacious Skies in Littleton! We stayed for three nights and had outside visitors for two of them; the campground was very accommodating, which we appreciated. We had site 98 and it was perfect, toward the back of the campground and it felt more secluded. Bathrooms were clean and the campground overall was clean and well-kept. We arrived late at night, in the dark,... We very much enjoyed our stay at Spacious Skies in Littleton!

We arrived late at night, in the dark, and it was a little difficult to navigate back to our site, but not a big deal. I definitely recommend it!

This is my second time here. My first time was just an overnight going to Bar Harbor and I was impressed with how clean well run and laid out it was. This last time I was here I was here for 4 days and used it as my start to go into Boston. Train is only 10 minutes away directly into Boston People in the campground camping are very friendly, the people running the place extremely friendly and help... This is my second time here.

Train is only 10 minutes away directly into Boston People in the campground camping are very friendly, the people running the place extremely friendly and helpful. It's a family type Campground without all the noise and craziness. When it's quiet time it's quiet. So far best of the Spacious Skies Campground that I have stayed at as a member.
