Prospect Mountain Campground in Granville also offers cabin rentals with varying amenities depending on cabin type. The cabins at Wells State Park provide a more nature-immersed setting with access to hiking trails and outdoor recreation. "I don't always like KOAs, but this one felt like a smaller, mom and pop- and better run facility than others. We stayed in the cabins and they were clean, and we liked our proximity to the pool."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most cabins accommodate 4-6 people with combinations of double beds, bunks, or futons. Mineral Springs Family Campgrounds in nearby Stafford Springs, Connecticut maintains highly-rated cabin rentals with pet-friendly options. Thousand Trails Sturbridge operates from April to October with cabin availability during this season. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer weekends and holiday periods.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties—some include small refrigerators and microwaves while others offer only outdoor cooking options. Basic supplies can be purchased at camp stores within Northampton/Springfield KOA and Prospect Mountain Campground. Cabin guests should verify the specific amenities included with their rental before arrival to ensure appropriate packing. Some properties enforce quiet hours after 10 PM, and seasonal policies regarding heat, air conditioning, and fire restrictions may apply depending on the time of year.
"We stayed in the cabins and they were clean, and we liked our proximity to the pool."
"I’m more of a quite, in-the-middle-of-nowhere kind of camper, so I tend to shy away from commercial campgrounds, but it was easier for me to commute from the KOA than from home when work was crazy because"
"They also have a great pool, playground and pond for fishing. They also have a nice little store and snack bar. There is also a mini golf course and a mining area where kids can “mine” “gems”."
"It looked like the sites were close together, but I was there before there were leaves on the trees and could see how there would be more privacy once they filled out."
"Very chilled and secluded in your own site. I liked that it felt like a litrle community but still quotr private. They provide ice and firewood which is cool."
"I am an experienced camper and left no trace of food anywhere near my tent, fire or picnic table. The bears did not bother me."

ScoutThis is a nice family friendly campground that makes for easy trips. There are a variety of sites available, from open field sites to more wooded and private areas. The campground also has a lake for swimming,trails for hiking, and some nice quiet areas for fishing. Well maintained bathrooms, with available showers, are also spread throughout the grounds. Not pet friendly unfortunately.
RangerOur first time camping here, we were trying to get a more secluded spot, but the pics on ReserveAmerica were not the greatest gauge of the sites. The sites were OK, some better than others, we didn't have any amenities but there was potable water nearby. There are cabins, which are really just bunkhouses with 2 bunk beds. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. Our loop had porta potties nearby, we only saw one real bathroom with flushing toilets and showers. We did go for a nice hike, the North/South Trail goes through the campground and there are many trails in the area as well. We did a 5+ mile loop and got a good sense of what the trails are like. Found some geocaches and our pups got a good workout.
GuideThis campground overall was pretty good. It is a larger campground, with large sites. Within the campground there are also restrooms available, showers and water. I would advise to bring your own water, because the running water they provide doesn't taste the best and smells like rotten eggs. Just my opinion. The campsites also have a fire ring pit and a picnic table, which was nice for my large family. It wasn't too busy when we went- we got there on a Friday night around 6pm and were able to get a spot. There are also some fun activities within the campground, and things nearby. There are some good hiking and biking trails. My family and I went on a hike one morning, and my brothers enjoyed riding their bikes along the path. There is a restaurant near by that plays live music. The night we went, it was country music. Not sure how often they do this, or if the music changes. They do also have cabins you can rent, but we enjoyed the camping experience. We were in section C, spot 85. It was a pretty good, private spot. The campground was pretty clean, although we did see some trash throughout the campground that we picked up as we walked by it.
ScoutGrounds well kept. Shaded sites. Quiet areas in lower roads with mostly seasonal. Reasonable cost. 30 amp only. Many full hookups. Pet friendly.
LegendFinally ventured out for a camping trip in this curious season and was delighted to find Bonnie Brae Campground in the Berkshires. It's a compact,clean campground tucked at the end of a quiet neighborhood street, within walking distance to a lake. Many of the RV site are occupied by seasonal campers, and the sites are well-kept. Some of the sites have platforms. This side of the campground was quiet most of the time. The tent and cabin loop circle around the pool area and although you could hear more conversation and noise from this section, everyone was respectful of quiet hours. They also offer a number of cabins for rent with AC and small refrigerator, but no bathrooms. The bathrooms are small, but very clean. They wouldn't meet ADA standards, but there are no drips, stains, or dirt and they seem to check in a couple of times a day to clean up if needed. The pool is now open (delayed this year due to COVID-19) and the kids in particular enjoyed it. You can add a firewood purchase to your reservation and they'll deliver it to your site.
I was in site 28 with a teardrop camper. I could have used leveling blocks because it was hard to find a great spot that was level side to side. Sites 27 & 29 each seemed a little more level and 29 was larger.
Pontoosuc Lake is a short walk away; there are boat rentals available and I saw a number of people fishing from Pontoosuc Park just above the dam. There's a rail trail nearby and Mt Greylock State Reservation offers numerous hiking opportunities 11 miles to the north.
RangerGetaway is fabulous! My first glamping experience was a winner! Machimoodus is one of the newest outposts just outside Boston and NYC. My bf and I went during one of the snowiest weekends all winter, but it was completely worth it!
First of all, the huge picture window in the cabin is AMAZING. It is just so rejuvenating waking up to freshly fallen snow on the trees - corny I know, but 100% accurate. The cabin was beautiful and rustic, and outfitted with cookware, dishes, a Bluetooth capable radio, essentials like coffee for purchase, books and a shovel for the snow.
Since the outpost was new, the fire pit was brand new, and despite the snow, we were able to cook on it. Very easy to use.
Only critiques would be the lackluster water pressure in the shower and how icy the walkway leading up from the driveway got in the cold weather. The water pressure was a small price to pay, however, and the icy walkway is resolved easily enough wearing micro-spikes.
I can’t recommend enough. It can be a pricy excursion, but the outposts are established in very beautiful settings. I cannot wait to check out more!
ScoutI thought I read someplace that there is new ownership, at any rate the folks there were very nice. And the place lives up to its name. We’re not fond of RV parking lots and the sites were well spaced which gets it many extra points. We had a popup in a drive-through site at the bottom of the hill which was fine, though pretty muddy after a day of rain. With that hill there’s no place for larger RVs here unless they were to decide to use the field at the bottom. As far as infrastructure a lot of what is here is very old and dated, sometimes to the point of being comical, but it does appear some updates are happening. Bathroom building is decent and kept very clean (though it would be nice if any of the door latches on the women’s toilets worked.) It appears they have built or rebuilt some cabins. Hiking up and down the hill to the bathroom does get old and there is really no place to park there like most places have without blocking the road. Can squeeze in one car near the (ancient and yucky cold water) dishwashing station. There is a tiny campsite with cabin on the road below it, with a firepit and table like a foot away from the road. Maybe they should eliminate that site to make parking for a couple cars at least, as its a terrible campsite probably the only bad one there. (One night that site had 2 cars, with one blocking the road when we tried to drive past - they should have made the extra car stay down in the lot.) People moved their car a bit, but still had to drive very close to their bonfire. Like much of the area, there is essentially no cell coverage here. An area with wifi would be an excellent upgrade. I know, you’re camping, but sometimes you just need to do something, make a restaurant reservation, or check the weather.
Update- I just found and read an article about the change of ownership. Showed a picture of a recreation room. Where the heck was that? In the building labeled “the Barn?” Which I thought was an actual barn and off limits. The dyrt says there is wifi, maybe it was there? Would have been nice to know about.
GuideWe stayed at site 85 in Sunny Crest and liked having some privacy. The sites nearby had some trees providing space between each site. A lot of the sites we drove by were pretty sloped- I would recommend a drive though if you can beforehand.
The picnic table was chained down so there weren’t many options to set up having the fire pit and picnic table where they were.
Hiking trails were nice, good variety of easier and more difficult terrain.
TravelerFairly large campground. Tent sites available but mostly RV/Campers. WiFi in common areas isn’t great so if you’re planning on working during some down time, this isn’t the place. Nice hiking around the area. Bathrooms are clean. Good for kids/families.

Swimming and beach access: Wells State Park Campground offers a lake beach that some campers note has red clay instead of sand. "Gorgeous campground. It's red clay instead of sand.

Fire truck rides: Northampton/Springfield KOA organizes unique fire truck rides around the property during weekends from late spring through early fall.

There are plenty activities for everybody," notes Jason A., highlighting the distinctive recreational options beyond standard campground activities.
Pond activities: Pine Acres Family Camping Resort maintains a swimming beach alongside several other water features. "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," reports Rob L.
Train experiences: Chester Railway Station offers a unique camping option in a converted caboose. "It is a really fun place to spend a night, especially for a train enthusiast. The caboose is stationed on a big grassy field, near a real railroad. It sleeps 4 and you can set up tents outside too. You hear the trains running at night," shares Esther L.
Accessible outdoor areas: Thousand Trails Sturbridge provides natural spaces near cabin accommodations for walking and exploring.

I enjoyed stretching my legs," mentions Mara S., highlighting the recreational options available without leaving the property.
Fall activities: Seasonal fall events at Northampton/Springfield KOA create memorable experiences. "We went to this campground during fall foliage time. Very peaceful and very great staff. They had hayless rides and fire truck rides. This time they had a haunted house walk through," writes Jason A. These autumn-specific activities supplement regular cabin camping experiences during peak leaf-viewing season.
Bathroom facilities: Brialee Family Campground maintains their facilities but experiences high usage during peak periods. "The bathhouses and toilets are very dated," notes Celeste C. Campers should expect varying levels of bathroom cleanliness depending on time of day and seasonal occupancy.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly between properties. "The cell reception is not great. Camp link Wifi for a fee is workable unless you need to do zoom calls," shares Mara S. about Thousand Trails Sturbridge. Cabin guests should prepare for limited connectivity in most wooded areas.
Seasonal staff patterns: Austin Hawes Memorial Campground staffing changes based on season. "Last but not least - no cellphone service, which is either a good or bad thing, depending on how you feel about it," adds Katherine P. Management presence can vary, particularly during shoulder seasons or midweek stays.
Plan for insects: White Pines Campsites requires preparation for bugs in wooded cabin areas. "We found broken glass on the walking trail near our tent and by our fire pit which was really dangerous for our dogs," warns Laura W. Bring appropriate repellent and inspect sites upon arrival.
Benefit from weekend activities: Prospect Mountain Campground schedules family programming during weekends. "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," explains Sandra S.
Consider water proximity: Some cabin sites offer direct water access. "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," notes Tonya D. about her experience at Prospect Mountain Campground.
Site leveling considerations: Austin Hawes Memorial Campground offers varying site terrain for those with trailers. "A few nice sites, most are ok, some small. Ours backed up to the river and was large but hiking trail along river had a lot of traffic," shares Melissa R., noting the balance between space and privacy.
Off-season advantages: Spring and fall visits provide different experiences. "The staff I encountered were all very friendly and helpful. It looked like the sites were close together, but I was there before there were leaves on the trees and could see how there would be more privacy once they filled out," observes Dawn E. about Prospect Mountain Campground.
Separate camping areas: Many properties maintain distinct zones for different camping styles. "I was probably the only person tent camping in the entire resort. The manager was able to give me a great campsite away from all of the RVs and cabins," John C. explains about his experience at Thousand Trails Sturbridge, highlighting the potential for cabin campers to request specific areas.
