<<...asking for advice/assistance camping in Boston in my Westy for the
Marathon next month. >>

   Sorry Gerry, I thought you might have heard from someone who actually
lives in the area.  We moved away 10 years ago.

   Wompatuck State Park in Hingham's closest, but may not be open by
Patriot's Day.  On the Web at http://www.state.ma.us/dem/parks/womp.htm

   The nearest commercial park, Normandy Farms is in Foxboro,
http://www.normandyfarms.com/  They might have transportation in and out
of the city...Greater Boston is a nice place to live, but the uninitiated
wouldn't wanna drive there.
