Clean, pretty wooded sites near North Adams

Beautiful sites with lots of trees, some on a lake for RV or Tent camping. Very helpful and friendly staff. Clean restrooms and showers. Preferred the natural wooded sites vs. the "trailer park" atmosphere where some year round campers lived. We selected this site because we wanted to visit Mass MOCA, which was nearby. We will definitely go there again.https://www.northadams-ma.gov/visit_our_city/historic_valley_campground/index.php

Horrible directions, great park!!

They tell you clearly to avoid the GPS directions, but I can’t help but think the giant hill they wanted us to avoid would’ve been better than the dead end and destroyed awning as a result of theirs… Stay focused and pay super close attention when driving through the streets out here. Otherwise the park has been amazing!

Beautiful lake, nice spacious sites! Friendly atmosphere and lots of things to do around the area.

Now we just need to figure out how we’re going to get out!

Small campground in the Berkshires

Nice small campground in North Adams Ma. Very helpful friendly staff . Sites are nice and most have electric, water and some with sewer hookups. One issue is the hookups are spread out on your sites. So you may need extra hose or longer cord to complete your hookups. Camping here gives you a small lake and plenty of woodland surrounding you and since of peace. Bathrooms are clean but definitely a moisture issue. Staff is very helpful, Friendly but overworked.

Great access to north Adams and mass moca

I’ve stayed her for Wilco solid sound festival since 2013 and for fresh grass 2019. The bathrooms are clean, the campground has a cool lake front, and you’re about a five minute drive to mass moca or a 20-30 minute walk. Looking forward to fresh grass 2021.
