Confirmed from Camp Acton's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Camp Acton
“What beautiful conservation land area.”
Camp Acton is a nice place for a walk. The main trail is approximately 1.3 miles long. There are some camp sites there that can be rented through the town. There is a portable toilet at the trail head.
It is a beautiful park. However, there are no bathrooms or running water.
This trail network, including Spring Hill, is interesting, rocky, and muddy. Much harder and slower than you would expect but still enjoyable. Made this a 2.9 miler but could have been longer with more exploring.
A great little local weekend camping location. Schedule through the town of Acton. $25 per night per campsite (up to 10 people per site). No running water so come prepared. Port a potty on site at parking area.
