Cell service drops to nearly nothing at Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground, where 45 sites spread across a mix of wooded perimeter spots and open grassy areas in the center loop. This Massachusetts state forest campground operates from mid-May through mid-October, offering both tent sites and RV accommodations up to 40 feet with full hookups available.
The campground sits between North and South ponds, with North Pond featuring a small swimming beach that draws families during warmer months. Campers report mixed fishing results at both ponds, though the setting provides easy water access for kayaking and swimming. Bear boxes appear at each site, reflecting the active black bear population in this forested terrain. Sites along the campground's outer edge offer more privacy under tree cover, while interior sites provide open space with less shade.
Bill K. notes the facility maintains "very clean park, convenient clean restroom/shower building and helpful staff," with bathrooms checked multiple times daily. The campground provides hiking trail maps at check-in, connecting to extensive trail networks throughout the state forest. Road access requires attention to directions rather than GPS, which often routes drivers down rough back roads instead of the main Route 2 approach.
RV campers find a dump station and water fill at the entrance, while tent campers should prepare for rocky, uneven ground at many sites. The location serves as a base for exploring Historic Valley Campground and other regional attractions, with North Adams stores about 20 minutes away for supplies.
Description
Located in the northwestern Berkshires, the former apple orchard turned campground, offers 45 spacious campsites and 4 log cabins. Two beautiful ponds offer tranquil places to fish, picnic, hike and swim. Be sure to explore Bog Pond and Tannery Falls, one of the state's highest waterfalls.
