Reservations and island group permits are required for Georges, Lovells, Peddocks, Bumpkin, Grape, or Spectacle Islands for groups of 25 or more. Groups requesting a permit for an unreserved group picnic or group camping site, and who do not require special support services, may request a Recreational Use Permit form the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR). Individual campsite reservations must be made through ReserveAmerica.com

Any group requesting a private event site, after-hours use of non-camping facilities, or any activity requiring oversight and coordination by island-based staff should contact Boston Harbor Island Alliance for information on site availability, policies and permits.
