October Mountain State Forest
Reviewed Aug. 4, 2022

Peaceful and clean campground

I tent camped here in night while exploring the fishing in Western Massachusetts.

The campsite was peaceful and quiet and mostly tucked into the hillside.

I did see the electrical station at the entrance but the sound didn’t reach where I was staying at site 33. To avoid that sound, I would suggest sites further up the road.

The sites offered medium privacy. Site 33 was built into a slope in the hill, so it required walking up a short set of stairs, but the tent site was level.

I didn’t explore the hiking trails but it seems very convenient that you could leave into the trails right from the campground.

For any fly fishing folks, this campground is very close to the Housatonic (catch and release only!)
