NATURAL FEATURES Otter River State Forest was the first area acquired by the State Forest Commission in 1915 and also the first campground in the Massachusetts State Park system. Some of the forest area was cleared in the nineteenth century for small farms. After the state acquired the land, it was reforested with groves of pines which were planted by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's. The forest of oak and hickory, northern hardwood and pines is home to numerous wild flowers and shrubs, deer, chipmunks and many species of birds. RECREATION Otter River State Forest is a popular camping and day-use facility in a beautiful area of north central Massachusetts. Its developed facilities are centered on Beaman Pond and include ball field, basketball court, volleyball court and picnic areas. Many recreation opportunities are available and include a fishing, hiking, hunting, mountain biking, and picnicking. Use the park's hiking trails or try mountain biking on the 9000 acres of the adjacent Birch Hill Wildlife Management Area. FACILITIES Otter River offers 73 campsites, three group sites, and four yurts. Comfort stations are located throughout the campground and offer hot showers and flush toilets. One comfort station is accessible, shown on the map. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring. Yurts are canvas sided, cabin-like structures that can accommodate 4 to 6 people. Yurts offer bunk beds, tables with benches, and access to water and electricity. All of the yurts are accessible. (Linens and eating utensils are not provided.) NOTE: Electrical service is not sufficiently reliable for use with medical equipment. Pets are prohibited from yurts and yurt sites.

Con: Signage is awful! Hard to find park, office and cabins! Once there, Looong drive to both campground and Cabins.
Pro: cabins are on a remote lake. Perfect for star gazing! Rustic but comfy (beds) cabins. Bring all your own stuff. No electricity, so no lights. Our cabin had a steep path. Others did not.
Traveler
Had an amazing stay, cabin was perfect and comfortable. Water was nice and fish were biting. Can’t wait to come back.
Scout
Very peaceful! Little hidden gem! We loved our weekend away
Traveler
We had a great time here camping with our kids and grandkids. River is not much to look at but the pool was great and there were great events like foam parties, DJ at the pool, pancake breakfast and live music to name a few. Staff were friendly and helpful.
LegendThis was my first time staying at Bear Brook, it's an easy campground to get to, once you get to the west gate it's about a 4-mile drive to the campground, if you're coming from the east it's about 1.5 miles.
The first impression was impressed by the size and how organized everything was. Check-in was easy, then driving to my site (#7) took a minute.
That's when I realized the sites were 4' apart in the section I was staying in. Other sites on each end are further apart.
The campground has a beach, a playground, a Ball field, and a store. The roads are all easy to drive on but narrow.
Traveler
We enjoyed our tent site with a wooden lean-to. Overall very private and peaceful, however the only drawback is that people took frequent casual walks pass the area all day long. There's really no way around that.
We did not get a chance to enjoy the amenities, but they all looked nice and well thought out.
We will return.
Traveler
The campground was very busy with families events activities, etc. If you prefer a noisy fun experience and a more social experience with your very close neighbors, this is the pot for you. Our preferred style of camping requires more space and less noise. The pool bathrooms were gross, but the other facilities area near the tent sites was very nice and clean.
The food was great and the staff is friendly. Overall we had a great time, but its unlikely we’ll return mostly due to the noise level.
Guide
The seven maple trees that greeted guests may be gone, but not the spirit of the campground. Staff were helpful and cheerful along with the chain saw carved bears that greeted me. A very nice shady campground with clean bathhouses - one with a moose guarding the entry - and common areas.
Scout
Me and my fiancé last minute booked a 4th of July trip last minute and had a wonderful time! Our site was all rocks and we were tenting but we made it work knowing we booked the trip last minute! Brought our dog and he had fun!
Guide
Spacious Skies Minute Man is a forested haven so close to Boston that you think you are in the country. There are so many cool things to do just a short drive away. The nearby town of Ayer is right out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Concord is only 30 minute drive away with two full days of revolutionary historic sites, and famous people home tours such as Louisa May Alcott. Lots of good coffee spots and restaurants in historic downtown Concord so spend a morning in this special city.
Scout
Had an excellent experience. The staff and owner were wicked accommodating. The fishing pond was perfect. I will be returning soon. I highly recommend this place if you have a family or simply need a place to clear your mind.
Guide
Great location with lake views, trails etc. Some sites are spaced out, some are closer together. Lots of great spots on the water, easy to put a kayak in from.
Can't beat it for only an hour from Boston

ScoutAbsolutely beautiful. When we drove in we fell in love with the grounds!! We were in site B9. We have a 25” B+ and basically had to park sideways and use a lot of leveling blocks to get our rig level. As we walked around we spoke to others who had similar problems with the sites not being level. We recommend this campground but just be prepared and bring plenty of leveling blocks! The office did provide us with additional blocks to level so they were very accommodating.
Scout
Stayed for one night at end of season. Owners were so kind and helpful. I felt very safe here as a solo traveler. Clean bathrooms. Great place!
Scout
We went just for one night with a tent because our 5 years old loooves camping, so we reserved this at the last minute, and when we get there, well, the tent sites are way too close to each other, thank god we just had one other guy next to us but was very uncomfortable being too close, no privacy at all, and lots of noise at night from kids staying in RVs, screaming until 11pm. The bathrooms were a little dirty, but not awful, and we didn’t read well that the place doesn’t have a grill for cooking, just the fire ring, so we had go hunting for one at a store very far away. Forget about cellphone signal, it was 0.
GuideTom was a gem of a guy! He was very helpful, accommodating, and kind. Because we are fully self-contained and need no hook-ups, he gave us a small discount on our night. We stayed right next to a cute pond on site 69. There was a family with several smaller children who were fishing g the pond. It was so cute to hear them squeal with glee when they caught a fish.
Tom takes great care to keep the grounds and the bathrooms/showers very clean. It is obvious he takes pride in ownership.
I would stay here again and for much longer next time.
ScoutHave been coming here for years. So many lovely waterfront sites, clean facilities, camp store and beach are great. Fire pits and picnic tables at every site.
Legend
On lake site. Great management and owner.
GuideStayed here with my family and had so much fun! There are so many things to do. We played at the playground, went hiking, fishing, swimming in the pool & went down the slides! There is a weight limit on the slides. There was also a splash pad in the shallower area of the pool. There was even an arcade and a store we got some supplies and souvenirs. The site are close together but it wasn’t the worst. Very clean and well maintained place with a great staff!
ScoutStaid at this camp ground for almost a week. Was quiet and relaxing. The staff was nice. The store seemed to be lacking some stuff even though it has plenty of space. The rec hall had no games in it like the website showed. But I would stay there again.
Traveler
Had to book at least 5 nights to stay in July and was very expensive for what you get. Extra costs everywhere. Rude workers. Awkward close sites. Not dog friendly. Not safe for little ones as there is too much traffic..vehicles and golf carts. Left early on the third day. Waste of $570. The worst camping trip we have ever had.
TravelerExpensive, awkward sites, NOT dog friendly. Rude owners/workers. Too much traffic...cars and golf cart for kids to enjoy being outside. Was the most costly stressful camping experience we have ever had. Will never return or recommended.
GuideMy family and I stayed at this campground overnight on the way to and from Acadia. The staff was very nice to deal with. The sites were ample size and space for our rig and needs. The pool looked very nice, and the rec room was impressive, with games and movies for campers to enjoy. The campstore was very nice and even had a video library that campers could sign out movies to watch free of charge ( their selection was pretty impressive). There was bocce, horshoes and volley ball courts that were well maintained and had the needed equipment so that anyone interested could play. The dog park was nice as well. The campground is close to many restaurants and gas stations also. Cell service with AT&T and T-Mobile was great.
Guide
I was looking for a nearby, bare bones campground with a shower and cell service that would do the trick while traveling to a weekend event. I reliably had 1 bar AT&T while at the campsite, but more as I got closer to the bathhouse. The campground also want too far from the grocery store and civilization. Our site and others had some difficulty with drainage, as it’s been a super wet summer. There is a community fire pit with s’mores, which was cute! Swimming area closed for bacteria levels, but lots of other nearby activists for the recreation seeker.
TravelerWe had 3 nights at site 24, this site is close to the lake/beach area, hiking trail, bathroom/shower. It is very spacious and nice. I would book there again!
GuideNormandy Farms is perfect. The grounds are beautiful, the staff is lovely. The sites are level, the bathrooms/showers are spotless with piped in music and hairdryers. It's one of the few campgrounds that really is a resort. This was our second visit and it just keeps getting better. They've added a huge covered area with a snack bar and a big TV over the fireplace next to the Recreation Lodge. It's not far from a park and ride area, so taking the train into Boston is easy.
