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 ?

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.

We're planning to stay at the Rusnik campground. 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.

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.
