I'm traveling to Boston via truck and camper in September. We are not going to be driving into the city but we need a place to leave the truck and camper for 3 days. Are their places to do this on the outskirts of the city?
I have googled this; I don't want to pay to park in an rv park since we will be staying overnight in a hotel in Boston. I am really looking for just a safe place to leave it while we spend a few days in boston. I will check into the policies for the parking lots at T stations. Thanks Diane B!

Here's a list of the ten best campgrounds near Boston. You can camp there and drive in to sight see

Here's a list of campgrounds with access to public transportation so you don't have to drive INTO Boston.,

You can also ask a travel agent to help you plan your trip. They don't just work with airlines....
Easy enough to Google.

Tell me more about your plan. I live here and can help you more if I know what your preferences are.
1) Are you staying in Boston, or are you going in for day trips and want to come back to the RV at night? Are you looking for a campground with septic/water/electric? Are you a member of AAA? They have good data, tour books, etc.
2) Commuter rail is pretty good - there's a $10 weekend pass for as many trips as you want. Cash only, no credit/debit, unless there is a main station - otherwise pay the conductor, super easy. But they don't run every half hour so you need to plan. This is separate from the MBTA (Mass Bay Transportation Authority), which is the subways and buses. And "subways" are above ground outside of the inner city - trolleys that go underground when you get to downtown. You can pay cash above ground. You can also get a "Charlie Card" at various main hubs and then load money onto it on line as you go along. You cannot pay cash on an underground train. Lines are color coded and intersect on occasion so you can change lines.
3) I checked B's link - FYI "Littletown" is wrong, it's "Littleton" so verify the other things on the link. Salem is on their list and is a small city with its own attractions - and some narrow streets, so do some research.
4) It would help to know what you want to see/do in Boston or outside. There is a lot to do beyond the city limits too.
Message me if you want more specifics and after you've sorted out your plans a bit so I can be helpful.
without trying to be rude, have you even tried to google this or use TripAdvisor?
if you are an RV'er, that's one the first places I would have gone was TripAdvisor or https://www.rv-camping.org/ or https://www.reserveamerica.com/outdoors/rv-camping.htm
