Mohawk Park Campground & Restaurant
Reviewed May. 29, 2018

Depends on what you're looking for

Overall, we plan to return once a year for the fishing and because we love the area. There's just something about the conditions and vibe that isn't as welcoming as some. Other people said the same thing and still come back for the fishing every year as well. My daughter and family love the place and bring their kayaks for great fun on the river.

Pros:

  • Location is excellent It's right on the Mohawk Trail, Rt 2 in northwestern Massachusetts. Even better, it's right on the Deerfield River which has controlled water releases for kayaks and rafts. The good size river is also stocked with trout on a regular basis.
  • Hookups are available, some even have sewer, no cable which is fine.
  • There's a good restaurant open Thurs. thru Sun. There's a bar as well and some entertainment on weekends.
  • Restrooms are reasonably clean. Didn't try the shower.
  • Couple of pretty good restaurants in the area and lots of trails for hiking.
  • If you're a biker, you'll feel right at home - tons of motorcycles including the owners.

Cons:

  • Cash only when we checked in although the bar and restaurant took cards.
  • River sites have no hookups.
  • Sites are pretty close together.
  • Lots of drinking going on.
  • Layout of road can be challenging. Big trailers may have some extra trouble backing in but most people don't mind a few attempts.
  • You have to exit the campground area and come back in to use the dump station as it's located on the right hand side of the one lane road. No hose by the dump station so you are expected to load a dirty hose back into the trailer. (Fellow leaving before us hooked up a 50 ft hose to an empty nearby site to rinse his sewer hose.) After dumping, you drive into the campground further to do a turn around. A looping road would make a huge difference.
  • Poison ivy all over the edge of our site.
