I know there is camping available at the Blue Hills Reservation - it says so < a href="http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/metroboston/blue.htm">here. Also, you can camp on some of the Boston Harbor Islands - it's $5 a night with a $10 round trip ferry fee. The trouble is that they have no water on the islands, so you'd have to haul your own out there, but that's not much problem if you're willing to schlep around on boats a lot (they are free, the water is probably not). The other trouble is that the maximum stay is two weeks, I think. But I met a guy on one of the islands who was staying the entire summer in exchange for photographing the island wildlife and offering it to some public organization or other.
A third thought is this - have you considered the joys of formal education? I don't know if you have any degrees, but unless you've got a doctorate, you can still go to school some more, and grad school frequently comes with the opportunity to assistant teach and pays enough to survive on. I've gotten a lot more out of school this time around than I did when I dropped out at 19.
