Answer
If you are not old enough to drive, then you are not old enough to camp at private campsites near Bedford, Massachusetts. You could call the County Sheriff's Office to find out whether it is legal for you to camp anywhere under the county jurisdiction. Contact Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, though I do not think they allow any camping even for hunters and require everyone to be out by sunset. Contact the Town of Bedford to see whether you can camp in the Hartwell Town Forest. However, even if you can, I do not know how you can sleep in a tent with aircraft flying out of Hanscom Field. Your nearby Massachusetts State Park is Demarest Lloyd Memorial State Park. Freetown Fall River State Forest or Myles Standish State Forest may be the least restricted parklands near New Bedford. You must be 18 years old to reserve a campsite in the state parks and forest campgrounds.

Myles Standish State Forest is the largest publicly owned recreation area in southeastern Massachusetts. MSSF offers five camping areas, tucked into the forest or set along the edges of four of the park's 16 ponds.All are beautifully maintained and a sectionof the Charge Pond area is set aside specifically for horse camping. A day-use area at College Pond offers picnicking, swimming, fishing, canoeing. Fifteen miles of bicycle trails, 35 miles of equestrian trails and 13 miles of hiking trails take visitors deep into the forest, which includes one of the largest contiguous pitch pine/scrub oak communities north of Long Island.

I just need space for one tent while I spend some time during the day in Worcester. No services required (water, toilets, etc.). What are the rules about camping in state lands, parks, recreational areas, etc.?
