Bumpkin Island

Small and picturesque, Bumpkin Island was home to American Indians, a fish-drying operation, tenant farmers, a naval training camp, polio patients, and more. Now it's a quiet camping destination, with ten smaller campsites (max. capacity 4 each) and one group campsite (max. capacity 25). Its slate and shell beaches and open areas make Bumpkin a relaxing place to wander. Walk trails lined with wildflowers. Explore the remains of a stone farmhouse and children's hospital. Watch the sun rise from your campsite. Bumpkin Island is also home to the annual Art Encampment.

When visiting this island, travel direct from Hingham or Hull, or take a connecting ferry from Georges (summer only).
