TravelerThis campground was great. Quiet, great fire pits, clean bathrooms, firewood and starter for sale plus access to day use area. The lake next to the campground is beautiful and has plenty of picnic tables and grills for use. Close to hiking trails and the city of Bennington.
GuideWe stayed for 3 days off season so not busy. Sites located along the river are wooded, field sites are very open great for seeing the stars at night. Sites have fire rings with excellent airflow for good burning with low smoke. Hook ups are in great condition for power, water, sewer. Showers and bath house on site. Laundry and game room at office area. Office staff was very helpful and they’re open later into the day til 7 PM. Good firewood and large bundle delivered for $15 to your site. We passed over this site on our first trip to the area but are glad we came here and we’re planning to return. Follow the website directions to get here as there are covered bridges in the area with low Clearance and low weight limits.
GuideWe took our new to us hybrid camper out for its inaugural trip.
We chose to stay in the wooded loop of the campground and we were very happy with our site, #66. That section has about 12 sites, some big and some on the smaller side. Our site was easy to back into, even more so since no one was in the site across from us. Our site was very spacious, level and included a picnic table, fire ring, and nicely placed hookups for water and electric. We had easy access to trails that went along the river behind some of the sites with a few paths down to the river.
Everyone we encountered was friendly and respectful. There are quiet hours from 10pm-8am that are enforced. We were grateful to not have to hear loud partying going on into the night. There was car noise from nearby Rt 10 on the other side of the river, but nothing you can do about that.
We asked for assistance at the office with our first time using a pumping station at the end of the trip. We were given friendly helpful assistance and some great tips and advice for the future.
This was a nice enjoyable first visit for us. We will definitely be adding it to our list of places to visit again, but likely later in the year when we can enjoy the river and activities a bit more. We did not explore the options for bike, kayak, and canoe rentals but would like to in the future.
TravelerI loved my stay here! I just stayed 1 night passing through, the drive to the campground was gorgeous. checking in was super easy. Finding my site and the bathroom was a breeze. THE BATHROOM was the best I’ve seen camping very clean and updated and honestly gorgeous. Everyone else there was super nice and quiet. Quiet hours start at 10 but it was silent after about 9 which was so amazing. I would definitely stay again!
GuideThe campground is connected to an adventure/outing company that provides white water rafting, tubing and other water activities on a nearby river. It’s close to where locals jump off outcrops into the lazy river and hang out on the river side. They don’t allow fired at the campsites though which is annoying and their quiet hours are quite oppressive.
ScoutFoolhardy Hill is the nicest facility that I have ever "Camped". I used quotes, because this is NOT a "roughing it" Campground. Katie and Biddy, the host/owners, are the nicest and most accommodating. This "off the grid" place is convenient, comfortable, spotless clean and I would HIGHLY recommend a stay. I would also recommend renting the entire facility for a family reunion, off site business meeting, fishing club meeting, or just a place to meet up with a bunch of old friends... The bathrooms are clean and the showers are HOT. The pavilion provides a meeting place for groups to maybe discuss the day's catch, the one that got away, or just to meet new friends. The pavilion also has everything you will need for grilling, flat top cooking and 2+ gas burners.
I was here for fishing. Foolhardy is located centrally for the best the Deerfield River has to offer.
Pets welcome, but leave the little ones at home (unless renting the entire facility).
If I have to leave just ONE negative comment; after the shower, the mirror above the sink was VERY fogged! (Did i mention, the showers are HOT!) :-D
TravelerWith the exception of a handful of the sites at this campground (mainly, the ones on the pond that go exceptionally quickly), the sites are too small, too close together, and there are a ton of kids. From my site, I could hear our neighbors blasting their radio all day (even after quiet hours), and another group of people somewhere further away singing pretty much all night.
The pluses are it's relatively close to Boston and Worcester if you need a day or two away (and can book one of the quieter sites), the bathrooms and showers are clean (and free), and the rangers are exceptionally friendly.
LegendWe booked site #39 online, based on proximity to bath house (at least, it looked that way on the map). No pictures of individual campsites on the ReserveAmerica booking site, so we were kind of winging it. We unexpectedly arrived at the campground around 10pm, after a long and grueling day on the road. The site (or what we could see of it) seemed nice, but was very un-level, with a steep, narrow driveway. Combined with the winding, tree-lined loop road, there was no way we were going to be able to back into that site in the dark. We drove back to the camp office to hand our tag back in, ready to find a cheap motel for the night. Much to our delight, they had a pull-through site (#15), that had just been vacated minutes before we got there. So, we drove over to said site, and it was much better. We were able to pull in and get leveled relatively easily, even in the pitch-black. The site was very spacious, close to the bath house, and had a really nice view of Walker Pond through the surrounding trees.
Again, we were only here for a quick overnight stop on the way home from Maine, but from what little we saw, this seemed like a nice little state park. Most sites were heavily wooded, and the pond is very pretty. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. Bath houses, were ok: roomy, well-lit, but quite old and a bit smelly. Don’t think they are cleaned very often.
GuideBeautiful area to hike. Quiet off the beaten path. There are 3 yurts available May-October (no dogs allowed in the yurts☹️. There are several tent sits available. Dogs are welcomed here! Every site has a fire pit and a picnic table.Highly recommend staying here if you are in the area!
Western Massachusetts' Berkshire region elevates to 1,000-1,500 feet around Colrain, creating a climate 5-10 degrees cooler than surrounding lowlands. This higher elevation area features several glacial ponds and small lakes with shoreline camping options. Most glamping facilities near Colrain remain open from May through mid-October, closing during the harsh winter months when temperatures regularly drop below freezing.
Hiking on Mt. Olga: At Molly Stark State Park Campground, the 1.7-mile round trip trail leads to spectacular views from the fire tower. "The hike up Mt. Olga is 1.7 miles (round trip). There's a fire tower at the top, which provides awesome views of the Green Mountains. It's also fun to explore the relics of the old Hogback Ski Resort," notes reviewer Tara S.
River activities: The Deerfield and Ashuelot Rivers offer excellent kayaking and tubing opportunities. At Ashuelot River Campground, campers enjoy direct water access. "We took a lazy tube ride from one side of the campground to the other. It has been quite dry in the area, so they are experiencing a drought. However, a little rain in the week got the river moving a bit," according to Rae-Ann W.
Winter options: While most glamping sites close for winter, nearby skiing at former resorts provides alternative recreation. Tara S. mentions, "It's also fun to explore the relics of the old Hogback Ski Resort. They are rested remnants of the ski lifts and warming huts, and they are slowing crumbling back to the earth."
Clean facilities: Visitors consistently mention the well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities at Country Aire Campgrounds. "Pros- warm clean bathrooms, warm cinnamon buns in the am, great playground, pool and pirate ship," writes reviewer Cindy.
Privacy between sites: Campers appreciate the natural spacing between sites at Woodford State Park. One reviewer notes, "There are tons of different types of campsites with either tent spots, lean tus, and a few (hard to get) cabins. Bathrooms are plentiful and clean, hot showers for a small price."
Local food options: The area features farm-to-table dining and homemade bakery items. Jason A. mentions at Country Aire Campgrounds, "Don't forget to buy your homemade donuts and other baked goods. They go fast."
Limited cell service: Many campsites have poor or no cellular connectivity. At Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground, "I had a flicking bar of coverage at the high point of the campground on Verizon, but all you MIGHT be able to do is text. Head toward Florida, MA on Rt 2 and at the height of land (shortly before you reach the Elk monument), you'll have good coverage," advises Jean C.
Access challenges: Navigation can be difficult without proper directions. Bill K. warns about Savoy Mountain, "Savoy mountain campground is a very nice state park camp, but don't rely on GPS to get you there it will put you on the wrong end of the park in the middle of a rural neighborhood."
Reservation requirements: Most campsites require advance booking, especially for specialized accommodations. Tim S. notes about Erving State Forest, "This is a very small campground with only 27 sites and only 13 sites open during the 2020/Covid Season."
Kid-friendly activities: Woodford State Park Campground offers excellent family amenities. "Perfect for families! There are tons of different types of campsites with either tent spots, lean tus, and a few (hard to get) cabins... beautiful clean swimmable lake with a walking trail around it," according to Sambath T.
Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature play equipment for children. At Northampton / Springfield KOA, they "have a fire truck ride that brings you around the campsite and hay-less rides. There is a pool there is a playground there are games of all ages," reports Jason A.
Holiday-themed events: Seasonal programming enhances family stays during holidays. "They had a Halloween/trick or treat night, fire truck rides it's very kid friendly," shares Celeste C. about the Northampton/Springfield KOA.
Site selection strategy: Choose wisely based on shade preferences and privacy needs. At Peppermint Park Camping Resort, Rae-Ann W. explains, "Our site, 111, was a nice flat grassy site with water and 20amp electric. We were sunny in the morning and got nice shade starting late in the morning."
Hook-up availability: Most campgrounds offer partial hookups, but full-service sites are limited. Michael M. notes about Ashuelot River Campground, "Some site on the river, some in the woods and some in a field."
Access route considerations: RVers should verify approach routes to avoid obstacles. Regarding Ashuelot River Campground, John L. advises, "Follow the website directions to get here as there are covered bridges in the area with low clearance and low weight limits."
