Bumpkin Island

Bumpkin Island's Burrage Hospital 1900

CAMPING INFORMATION CLICK HERE
Wildflowers grow along the trails that lead visitors to the remains of a children's hospital and stone farmhouse. The island's slate and shell beaches and open fields provide a relaxing atmosphere. One group and 10 individual campsites are available on this 35-acre island. (source: DCR)
