Promises made, promises broken

Not a Resort—Not Even Close This campground has one thing going for it: location. It’s nestled in a scenic area, close to lakes, shops, and local attractions. Unfortunately, everything beyond the zip code falls short—way short. Let’s start with the reviews. Many of the 5-star ratings appear to be posted by people connected to the park. The previous owners—who were reportedly ordered to step away—are still involved in daily operations and“renovations.” Now, the electrical situation. There are vague mentions of a future upgrade, but as of August, there’s no approved plan, and no work has started. The power system is unreliable and, frankly, unsafe. Breakers trip when multiple A/Cs run on warm days. Some pedestals are shared between up to four RVs. Others are infested with mice—yes, actual live and dead mice inside the boxes. We saw it ourselves. Several campers experienced rig damage from voltage instability. Water is mostly consistent now, but it had its fair share of issues due to poor piping and electrical problems with the well pump. Wi-Fi? Don’t count on it. There’s no campground internet available. One of the employees shared their personal hotspot with nearby campers, but it’s limited in range and speed. If you plan on working remotely, streaming, or even browsing, bring your own connection. Roads through the park are rough and rocky. There were attempts to improve them, but it looks like they ran out of time, money, or interest. Some sections have reclaimed pavement material, but most side roads are loose stone and dirt. Large RVs beware—tight corners, misplaced boulders, and uneven terrain can be tricky. Walk your path first. Accessibility is a major issue. Most campsites are covered in loose rock, making them almost impossible to navigate with mobility aids. Wheelchairs are a hard no. Even the ADA ramp to the laundry has a lip so high, it’s a barrier, not a benefit. One ADA-compliant restroom exists—way at the front of the park—with a single unisex shower. The men’s bathroom is still under construction(and was promised months ago), while the women’s side only recently reopened—and initially had no stall dividers. Campground rules? Not enforced. Kids run wild on four-wheelers, tearing through pedestrian areas and between campsites. Many roam unsupervised well into the night. They're often seen peeking at gear on other sites. Staff does little to correct behavior or enforce pool rules(kids under 16 in the water without supervision). The saltwater pool is the nicest feature—but it’s only 4 feet deep and the heater doesn’t function properly. Lastly, the park has visible homeless encampments on-site. I have no issue with people down on their luck, but it’s misleading to call this a“resort” when the grounds reflect neglect and mismanagement. For the price, you expect better—at minimum, safety, functionality, and truth in advertising. TL;DR: Great location. Poor management. Unsafe electrical. Limited amenities. No Wi-Fi. Inaccessible for anyone with mobility challenges. Disruptive environment. The campground could be something special—but right now, it's a work in progress being marketed as a finished product. Would I stay again? Not unless things change dramatically. Spend your money elsewhere—for now.

Dirty & lots of rocks.

We stayed there waiting to get our trailer repaired. It is dirty & has rubbish all over. No grass, all dirt & rocks. The manager is less than friendly & her husband is worse.

They are trying to get it ready but it will take years because no one works there except them. Quitting time is about 2pm & the beer refrigerator is open for the rest of the day. They will not help you if you need anything. No store. Pool just got finished but is closed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do reviews say about Webster-Sturbridge Family Campground compared to Douglas Forest RV Park?

Webster-Sturbridge Family Campground generally offers more developed facilities and family-oriented amenities than Douglas Forest RV Park. While Douglas Forest has a good location near lakes and local attractions, it lacks the maintained grounds and comprehensive facilities that Webster-Sturbridge provides. Douglas Forest features primarily dirt and rock sites with limited amenities and ongoing development, whereas Webster-Sturbridge caters more to families looking for recreational activities and well-established camping facilities. Consider your priorities when choosing between these two options.

What amenities are available at Douglas Forest RV Park?

Douglas Forest RV Park offers minimal amenities compared to other RV resorts. The park is primarily a basic setup with RV sites on dirt and rocks rather than grassy areas. The facilities are limited, and the park appears to be in a state of ongoing development and improvement. While the park's location provides access to nearby attractions, the on-site amenities are sparse. For the most current amenities information, it's best to contact the park directly before planning your stay.

Does Douglas Forest RV Park offer lakefront camping sites?

Douglas Forest RV Park does not offer direct lakefront camping sites. While the park is located in a scenic area near lakes and water recreation opportunities, the actual camping sites are not situated on a lakefront. The park's proximity to nearby lakes means water activities are accessible with a short drive, but campers should not expect waterfront views or direct water access from their camping sites.

Is tent camping allowed at Douglas State Forest?

Yes, tent camping is allowed at Douglas State Forest, which is separate from Douglas Forest RV Park. Douglas State Forest is a public recreation area managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation that offers primitive tent camping options. These sites typically provide a more natural camping experience with fewer amenities than RV parks. For specific regulations, reservation requirements, and available facilities at Douglas State Forest, check with the Massachusetts DCR before your trip.
