    Jamaica State Park Campground

    Great Camping Experience at Jamaica State Park

    This was our second stay at this Vermont State Park. It was a great three days. The park rangers were tremendous in ensuring we had a great visit. They worked with us to get the right site. The bathroom facilities, while rustic, were clean. There is a plethora of things to do in the park itself and in the local community. Nonetheless, it starts and ends with the management of the campground. Lauren, the campground manager, and her team of professionals, do a great job. We will definitely return.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Nice ‘n Easy campground

    We 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.

    Branch Pond on National Forest Hwy

    Amazing camping spots with fire pits!

    Tons of different styles of camping spots (if you get there while its still sunlight you can pick a spot by a flowing stream/river). No public bathrooms, no hookups, I personally didn’t have service.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Another great trip to Ashuelot River Campground

    We spent another great weekend at the Ashuelot River Campground. We recently purchased a new-to-us camper and wanted to get in a trip or two before putting it away for the winter. This was our 2nd visit to Ashuelot.

    We were in site 59, a pull-through with water and 30/50 amp service. The site was level and easy to get into and park. We were in a fully wooded area on the left side of the campground, which we prefer. They have sites located in fully open areas, as well as some that are partially wooded and have river access. There is a nice mix.

    Having good weather, 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. We were able to enjoy a nice, slow drift around the campground.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time again and will definitely be back.

    Gus's Gardens Camping

    Nice weekend getaway

    This place was really nice. Easy to pull our 20ft camper in. Two minutes drive to the very cute town of Wilmington. Good places to eat there. The campsite was really private. Had a picnic table and fire pit. The pond was sweet and the Deerfield Valley Trail is right off the campsite. We would definitely like to stay there again.

    Grout Pond Campground — Green Mountain & Finger Lakes National Forests

    Grout Pond Loop

    Camping Grout Pond Loop is truly nice after Labor Day (Sept 5-7). Campsites 15 & 16 offer pull-out space to turn around truck campers --we lucked out w/ 4 wheel camper pop-up). Over hanging trees would make it difficult for larger equipment, plus saw posting that excludes trailers from certain roads. We reserved well in advance; however many fellow campers were trying to find first come sites and ended up hiking in to camp around pond sites. Sites are in eye-site of each other but you don't feel crowded. Temps during day around 65-70 F. Nights dipped to 45-55F.
    We saw deer & turkeys driving the surrounding woods after short hikes.
    We love chatting w locals and learned of a special shrine that was faithfully built from stone to resemble original in modern day Turkey. What a special & serene place.


Guide to Drury

The Berkshire Mountains in western Massachusetts offer camping opportunities at elevations between 1,500-2,000 feet with typically cooler temperatures even during summer months. Several campgrounds near Drury provide water access, hiking trails, and black bear protection measures, with many sites requiring bear boxes for safe food storage. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from late May through October, though a few wilderness camping areas remain accessible year-round.

What to do

Waterfront activities: Clarksburg State Park Campground offers a pond suitable for kayaking and paddleboarding. A camper noted, "We were able to walk a few yards downhill to the waters edge where we launched our kayaks (there is a designated launching spot elsewhere)."

River recreation: The Deerfield River at Mohawk Park Campground supports multiple water activities. As one visitor shared, "It is so relaxing to wake up to the sound of the river and you can even head to a local park and tube down the river right back to your site!"

Hiking trails: From gentle walking paths to challenging mountain trails, the region offers varied terrain. At Molly Stark State Park Campground, "The hiking trail to Mt. Olga is 1.7 miles (round trip). There's a fire tower at the top, which provides awesome views of the Green Mountains."

Waterfall exploration: Several campgrounds offer nearby waterfall access. A visitor to Savoy Mountain State Forest mentioned, "Went to Tannery Falls, beautiful waterfall. About a 20 minute drive away, worth a visit."

What campers like

Woodland privacy: Mt. Greylock Campsite Park features heavily wooded sites with natural separation. A camper described it as having "great amenities and great feel to it" with "awesome wooded spacious sites."

River sounds: Waterfront sites are consistently rated highest for their natural ambiance. As one camper at Mohawk Trail State Forest described, "It was beautiful and great having running water to fall asleep to at night."

Clean facilities: Sperry Road Campground at Mount Greylock State Reservation maintains exceptionally clean composting toilets. According to one visitor, they were "so spacious and clean you could sleep on the floor in an emergency!"

Family programming: Several campgrounds offer organized activities, particularly on weekends. One visitor to Clarksburg mentioned, "Rangers provided programming for kids and families on the weekends."

What you should know

Bear safety requirements: Most campgrounds in the region have strict food storage protocols. As a camper at Mohawk Trail State Forest noted, "There are lots of black bears so keeping food in the near lockers or locked in the car at all times is a must!"

Shower availability: Facilities vary significantly between campgrounds. At Savoy Mountain State Forest, one reviewer mentioned "only one shower stall per gender. The shower was absolutely nasty, and covered in mold."

Site selection strategy: Choose locations carefully based on privacy and terrain. At Clarksburg State Park, a camper advised: "Our site (#6) was on a slope, and there was the telltale sign of stormwater runoff tracks running through the middle."

Cell coverage limitations: Most campgrounds have minimal to no connectivity. A reviewer at Savoy Mountain noted, "No cell signal can get there, if your looking to unplug this is a great spot!"

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Woodford State Park Campground offers recreational amenities specifically for children. A visitor described it as "perfect for families! there are tons of different types of campsites with either tent spots, lean tus, and a few (hard to get) cabins."

Kid-friendly water features: Several campgrounds have swimming areas with gradual entry points. At Clarksburg, "The day use area is very nice with grass, shade and beach and swim area though it is a bit too far to walk especially with littles so be ready to drive over there."

Biking considerations: Not all campgrounds accommodate children's biking. At Mt. Greylock Campsite Park, a camper warned, "The camp has a lot of hills and some are pretty steep. We always bring our bikes and love to bike through the campgrounds, but this one is not good for biking."

Family-friendly noise levels: Expectations vary by campground and timing. At Woodford State Park, a camper advised, "If you're looking for a quiet spot maybe don't look here. If you have kids and don't mind them making friends and roaming the campground then this is great!"

Tips from RVers

Hookup placements: At Historic Valley Campground, RVers should note that "hookups are spread out on your sites. So you may need extra hose or longer cord to complete your hookups."

Dump station access: Plan your dumping strategy carefully. One RVer at Mohawk Park Campground reported, "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."

Navigation challenges: Several campgrounds have complicated access roads. At Country Aire Campgrounds, GPS directions can be unreliable, while Historic Valley Campground visitors report: "They tell you clearly to avoid the GPS directions, but I can't help but think the giant hill they wanted us to avoid would've been better than the dead end and destroyed awning."
