I wish I'd thought of this earlier...

Well, my trip is two days away, and my plans are starting to come together and fall apart. I had planned to do some camping, then stay with my mother for a day or two. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any open campgrounds in that area until the first of May.

I called the Mass. dept. of parks and recreation, and was unsuccessful in obtaining a campsite at any state parks. Not that there are no campsites available, but rather because they don't open their camping facilities this early in the year.

I've e-mailed a few private campgrounds. I'm hoping that one of them will jump on the chance to make a little extra outside their normal season. We shall see.
