      Cozy Hills Campground

      Very nice campground however…

      We have enjoyed our stay. Nice campground with lots of activities and things to do. However, we picked this place because it has an enclosed dog park. It does have an enclosed dog park but the fence is only 3 feet high. While this might be fine for some dogs, I have 2 young border collies that will jump that fence like it is not even there.

      Waters Edge Family Campground

      Incredible campground

      Most amazing weekend with tons of woods (privacy is huge for us). Very friendly guests and staff! Amazing weekend with lots of fun for the kids and even the dogs! We’ve been to campgrounds with playgrounds worse than the waters edge dog park. Every one of us had a great time with the perfect campsite deep in the woods (still able to park my 26’ camper trailer). Swimming pool, great playground, among lots of trails and wooded area surrounding almost every site. Best camping weekends we’ve ever had have been at Waters Edge.

      Wilderness Lake Park

      Really enjoyed our time here

      Quaint little campground. Not many tenting sites but along a beautiful lake. Pets allowed. Bathrooms close by 10, something to keep in mind. And they’re cash or check only! Taylor Pond is not far and a great hike to bring both kids and pets. This campground was perfect for us and our dog. Bring your own kayaks or use the campgrounds free of charge.

      Spacious Skies Woodland Hills

      A peaceful place with character.

      My first visit to New York state was amazing, largely in part due to my campsite at the Woodland Hills campground. I had a back in site and was having problems with my camper, and they were able to change to a pull through at time of check in. However, it was in early May and before the summer crowds. The pond has a fountain which sounds like a small waterfall at night, and wildflowers were in bloom. Very nice bathrooms and showers, and my dog loved the dog park.

      Pine Acres Family Camping Resort

      One of our favorite places to stay

      Beautiful clean campground! Great for kids and pets. We love taking the dog to the dog beach for a swim.

      Camp store is great, fun fishing on the lake and tons of activities for the kids.

      Pine Acres Family Camping Resort

      Great spot in the middle of nowhere

      Miles and miles of country/forests surrounding pine acres, however pulling in you’ll soon realize how much goes on inside the campground. AWESOME pools (very kid friendly), parks, dog park, hiking trails and even sections off of the trails to find your own private beach on the water. Went there in a tent rather than our camper, which turned out to be better. Tent sites were very dispersed and way up on the top of the mountain. Camper sites seemed a little close but worth the sacrifice due to the incredible environment. On the more expensive side but worth the money if you have kids. Another big plus was the abundance of wood to get from fallen trees (not having to pay for the expensive bundles at the store) and the size of the fire pits

      Thousand Trails Sturbridge

      Nice, yet cramped and no cell reception

      I really wanted to like this place. It's in a very cool area that I didn't expect to be so awesome. First main issue was how bad the cell reception is. Normally, I'd day that's a perk for camping but we're full-timers and work on the road so it is important for us. Next, the place is massive and they are more about make money than making people comfortable. What could easily be a very nice and spacious pull-thru spot are 2 back to back back-ins. Unless you're lucky enough to get an end spot, those are pull-thru. Pros: awesome dog park, great office with laundry, activities, arcades, adult only room, community campfire, indoor pool with lifeguard, the staff is nice, there's a lake for swimming, boating, catch and release fishing. Their basketball court is on a shuffleboard court, playground is nice though. Close to Old Sturbridge Village and many cool hikes and MA cities.

      Bowdish Lake Camping Area

      Wow! Beware of all the extra charges and filthy facilities

      Bowdish Lake Camping Area is the worst campground we have ever been to and we travel fulltime! Their website states: $1,800-$3,600 per season (look for yourself on their website if you don’t believe me). We get there after reserving site Blue 65. They then charged us $3,900. Why? We have no idea! Then they charged us an additional $75.00 for our truck. Why I don’t know? Then they charged us an additional $50.00 for having our own kayak. Then they charged us an additional $50.00 for a small dog, $100.00 for large dogs (by the way they have no dog park). Then they charged us an additional $100.00 for cable. Then they charged us an additional .50 cents per kWh ( which cost us an average of$250.00 extra per month). The public facilities are filthy. They do not supply any toilet paper, hand soaps, hot water, etc. They charge you an additional charge by coin operated showers (cold water only) that are crawling with spiders, bugs and cobwebs.

      Douglas Forest RV Resort

      Awesome Campground In The Forest

      We had an incredible stay at Douglas Forest RV Resort! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how peaceful and well-maintained everything was. The RV sites are spacious and easy to navigate, with full hookups and strong Wi-Fi— a big plus for us since we work remotely on the road. What really sets this place apart is the location. You’re literally steps away from Douglas State Forest, which made morning hikes and evening strolls absolutely magical. It’s pet-friendly too, and our dog loved the wooded trails and open areas. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the camp store had everything we needed. Even though the recreation area is still being built, the amenities already in place more than made up for it. We’re already planning our next trip for summer when the pool opens! If you’re looking for a relaxing spot that blends nature with convenience, look no further. Douglas Forest RV Resort is a true hidden gem!


    Guide to Agawam Town

    Camping options near Agawam Town, Massachusetts, are situated among the rolling hills of western Massachusetts, where elevation ranges from 200-400 feet above sea level. The region experiences four distinct seasons with warm summers reaching the mid-80s and cold winters that can drop below freezing. Fall camping season typically runs from early September through mid-October when foliage colors peak, making campsite reservations essential during these popular weeks.

    What to do

    Hiking trails access: Granville State Forest offers numerous trails directly from the campground with varying difficulty levels. "Tons of trials right off the campground. And lots of fishing off the Farmington River and local pond," notes Tim K., who visited the forest.

    Free water activities: At Wilderness Lake Park, campers can take advantage of complimentary watercraft. "Beautiful views, spacious site and lots to do. They even had free kayaks/canoes for the lake," says Rob L., who appreciated the inclusive amenities.

    Seasonal entertainment: Halloween camping events are popular in fall months with special activities for children. Jason A. mentions Northampton/Springfield KOA had "hayless rides and fire truck rides. This time they had a haunted house walk through," during their fall foliage trip.

    What campers like

    Secluded tent sites: For those seeking privacy, several campgrounds offer more isolated options. "We were in the seasonal section, which has some interesting folks staying there. The site was very nice and felt private," explains Dawn E. about her extended stay at Northampton/Springfield KOA.

    Water feature diversity: Swimming ponds and fishing areas provide different aquatic options. "We had a nice quite spot even though we where in the road to the lake," shares John M. about his three-month stay at Prospect Mountain Campground and RV Park.

    Natural evening displays: Summer evenings feature notable wildlife viewing opportunities. Steve W. describes his experience at Black Rabbit Farm: "I had a great night watching the stars twinkle and the fireflies dance in the vineyard and meadows."

    What you should know

    Strict enforcement policies: Some public campgrounds maintain stringent rule enforcement. At Granville State Forest, "This campground has a zero-tolerance alcohol policy... if you bring beer, you can expect to be kicked out without notice. No warnings," warns Tara P.

    Site preparation varies: Cleanliness and maintenance standards differ between properties. "When we arrived to check in they were very nice and gave us the breakdown of the place along with brochures of what was going on at the site. We arrived to our site, it was by the pond and our site was even raked clean," reports Tonya D. about Prospect Mountain Campground and RV Park.

    Military access restrictions: Westover ARB Military FamCamp is available only to certain personnel. "Located on Westover RAFB. for active duty, retired and DAV. Sites are water/electric but some are 30 amp, others are 50 amp," explains Frank L.

    Tips for camping with families

    Children's activities: Look for campgrounds with structured entertainment for various ages. Sandra S. recommends Prospect Mountain: "Prospects mountain is a great campground for families with younger kids. They have activities every weekend such as dances, bingo, hayrides. They also have a great pool, playground and pond for fishing."

    Wildlife awareness: Bear activity has been reported at some campgrounds. "Beware of bears. We and several other neighboring campers spied a pretty big black bear not far enough away in the late morning hours," cautions Sylvia P. from her stay at White Pines Campsites.

    Off-season timing: Pet friendly camping near Agawam Town, Massachusetts offers quieter experiences during weekdays and off-peak times. "Even though it was July, we were the only campers in the entire place Sunday night. So we were treated to a really great lightning bug display," shares Rebecca D. about her Granville State Forest visit.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup variations: Water and electric connections are widely available, but sewer hookups vary by location. "The Quarry has something for everyone. Swimming, fishing, hiking, seasonal, daily, full hookups or tenting. Lots of pull throughs!" explains Gail S. about The Quarry Campground.

    Cash payment policies: Some campgrounds maintain specific payment requirements. "Heads up, they are cash or Venmo only so be prepared," warns Hails L. about Wilderness Lake Park.

    Extended stay options: Several area campgrounds accommodate longer-term camping near Agawam. "We went to this campground during fall foliage time. Very peaceful and very great staff," says Jason A., who visited Northampton/Springfield KOA during autumn's peak color season.
