RVING AT THE EVENT

The Extreme Beer Fest has been happening since 2003 and is usually held at different locations in the city of Boston, Massachusetts. The Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center has been a favored site of the event, and the Boston Center for the Arts Cyclorama has also been a host venue at different times. Most of the host locations are in the city of Boston proper, and there are no available RV parks at these venues.

However, there are plenty of RV parks and campgrounds at both private campgrounds and state parks. Boston is a place that is rich with history, and you will enjoy visiting the city and the surrounding sites of interest in the state of Massachusetts. With a rental RV from RVshare or your own camper, you can be sure you'll have the means to see everything on your itinerary while staying at any of these campgrounds.
