Something not right?

Description

One of the few parking lots within walking distance of some of the downtown areas that accepts RVs and is affordable. You just might have to pay for 2 spots if you have a longer vehicle. Rates are super cheap on the weekends (Sat and Sun) at $5 for 5am to 5am per spot per day. Great place to leave your vehicle for the day and stay overnight without worrying. Very close to the Tea Party museum (5-10 min walk) and not far from the aquarium (20-25 min walk).

The best parking lot for RV’s I have seen in the center of a major city. Within walking distance of the downtown. If you get there after 5 on Friday the price is $5.00 a day for weekends

Grand stationnement, plusieurs classe B stationnés. 25$ par jour, jour qui se termine à minuit. Donc si tu arrives une journée et que tu pars le lendemain après 6h le matin, c'est 2 jours, donc. 50$. Tranquille et près des attractions et centre ville

The gate access is on Binford street. As it was said, it's a very good spot on week-ends (Sat-Sun).

Stayed 2 nights in this parking lot. Very large lot with plenty of parking. It's $5 for from 5am-5am, 24 hours, on the weekends and $25 during the week. We left before 5am on Tuesday to ensure we wouldn't be charged another $25 for only staying a couple hours past 5am. Felt safe here and within walking distance to North Boston and Sea Port.

Large parking lot accepts oversized RV. No attendants. Only machine. Felt very safe. Also very noisy. Close to downtown. We had our bikes and we found Boston to be a cyclist paradise. Lots of restaurants around and grocery store. Nice bakery ‘Flour Bakery’ for morning Café.

Spent 2 nights here without any issues. Definitely much quieter than feared, however there is a nearby construction site that most likely can get loud at times.

Lots of spaces, so you should be able to find one. Along the SW side of the lot you'll be able to back your rig in, if it's less than 25' long. That way you avoid paying for 2 spaces.

Felt safe. Lots of other people overnighted in RV's and vans, and no one seemed to have any issues. A little pricy ($25 per 24 hours), but not a lot of free or cheaper alternatives in Boston.

Located in walking distance to downtown and subway stations, and there's a bus stop right besides the lot as well.

Be aware that the entrance is a little tight, so don't go running through it if you have a wide vehicle (10' or more). Someone apparently did and they knocked down a security camera.

absolutely perfect for us. Although couldn't find restrooms to use close by! Great nights sleep in Boston.

Huge lot in south Boston. $5 Saturday and Sundays. Easy to walk into the city and catch a train if needed. Trader Joe’s walking distance.

Spent two nights here in a converted Transit, no issues. Relatively quiet for a city. Not many level spots but there are a few. $38 total for a Thurs and Fri night.

Planet Fitness is a 20 minute walk. Starbucks is a 10 minute walk. Bathrooms are tough, no good ones shorter than a 10 min walk, but some portable toilets in construction areas that may be open.

Keep this clean and be respectful please! It's a great option for a night or two in Boston and it would suck if it was ruined.

Probably best if you only take up one spot - Class B/van size.

we talked to an official, he said it's ok to stay over night. only for vans and small RV, ours is 22ft, we parked by the entrance with our back to the fence so we occupied only one field. 25.- for 24h. 3 more vans passed the night here.

We were out of luck today: came in at 4pm, went for a stroll to the city, and at 8:50pm the parking attendant came and gave us 20mn to leave because "there is a policy for no night parking of campers and I have been working here for a long time and it's always been like that and only cars can stay at night, and by the way you are using more than 1 spot and I will have to report that to my manager". When you hear that you know it's time to find an other place to spend the night ! Too bad because location is excellent.
Price is $23 per day 5am to 5am, except saturday and sunday $5 for 5am to 5am. Evenings 4pm to 5am $8.

We stayed 3 nights, it’s 23$ per 24h, counting from 5 to 5... little bit noisy, but unbeatable when it comes to walking distance to Downtown, Aquarium, Tea Party Museum and much more! Nice bars and restaurants in the area.

This parking lot is a great option to park and sleep in a safe place in Boston and very cheap on the weekends as stated before. There are lots of spaces and we saw a couple of campers there too.

Awesome spot. A little noise but we felt fine. Only about a 20 minute walk to downtown. It is in a really cute area. Try Flour for breakfast and coffee. Really good. Only $5 a night on weekends. Can’t beat that price. Would definitely suggest staying here.
