Has anyone heard if Beartown will ever open again for camping?

Highly recommend checking out Beartown State Forest.

Exactly what you need for car camping. Extremely friendly staff with a nice swimming area. Must buy wood on premise which can be tricky when you have a late arrival. Probably the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever used at a state park.

A pretty spot near the Berkshires. This spot has rustic hikes and good swimming, plus relatively secluded campsites.

Many visits here to my "happy place." With only 12 sites, 4 of which have Benedict Pond access, it's a quiet, lovely site.
