    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Prospect Mountain Campground and RV Park welcomes pets at all accommodation types including tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and glamping options. The campground features fire rings, picnic tables, and full hookups for RVs, with both electric and water connections available. Northampton/Springfield KOA in Westhampton, approximately 20 miles from Feeding Hills, also accommodates pets with similar amenities plus laundry facilities. Most campgrounds in the area maintain standard leash policies, requiring dogs to be kept on leashes no longer than 6 feet when outside designated pet areas. The dog park at Douglas Forest RV Resort provides ample space for off-leash play, with many campers noting the well-maintained fencing and separate areas for different sized dogs.

    Water access for dogs varies by campground, with some locations offering designated dog swimming areas. The Quarry Campground features two separate ponds—one for fishing and one for swimming—with pets allowed in designated water areas. Wilderness Lake Park permits dogs to swim in the lake alongside their owners, making it popular for water-loving pets. When planning a pet-friendly camping trip near Feeding Hills, consider bringing portable water bowls, waste bags, and proper identification tags. Most campgrounds enforce quiet hours that apply to barking dogs, and excessive noise may result in being asked to leave. Veterinary services can be found in nearby Springfield and Westfield, approximately 15-20 minutes from most camping locations, with emergency vet care available in Springfield.

      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 Feeding Hills

    Camping options near Feeding Hills are situated in the northeastern foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, with elevations ranging from 200-400 feet above sea level. Most campgrounds in this region operate seasonally from May through October due to the New England climate, with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F. Winter snowfall makes most sites inaccessible from November through April, with Westover ARB Military FamCamp being one of the few year-round exceptions.

    What to do

    Fishing in designated ponds: The Quarry Campground features separate ponds for different activities. As one camper notes, "2 separate ponds: one for fishing, one for swimming" making it ideal for anglers who want dedicated fishing areas without swimmers disturbing the water.

    Hiking nearby trails: Austin Hawes Memorial Campground provides direct access to hiking paths along the Farmington River. A visitor mentioned, "Right on the farmington river and off the main road with access to many many other favorable fishing spots." Another reviewer highlighted the "Great place to camp... Trophy trout river with excellent fishing, but catch and release only."

    Kayaking on calm waters: Wilderness Lake Park offers free watercraft for guests. "Nice walking trails and free kayaks as available," notes one camper. Another visitor was impressed with the water access: "Bring your own kayaks or use the campgrounds free of charge."

    What campers like

    Secluded tent sites: Black Rabbit Farm offers more isolated camping experiences. A visitor described, "I stayed here last weekend and had a great night watching the stars twinkle and the fireflies dance in the vineyard and meadows. Loved the views."

    Kid-friendly activities: Prospect Mountain Campground and RV Park maintains regular scheduled events for families. A reviewer explained, "They have activities every weekend such as dances, bingo, hayrides. They also have a great pool, playground and pond for fishing... a nice little store and snack bar. There is also a mini golf course and a mining area where kids can 'mine' 'gems'."

    Wooded privacy: White Pines Campsites offers natural separation between sites. One visitor noted, "We stayed at site 85 in Sunny Crest and liked having some privacy. The sites nearby had some trees providing space between each site." Sites with tree coverage provide welcome shade during summer months when temperatures frequently reach 85°F.

    What you should know

    Cash-only policies: Some pet-friendly campgrounds near Feeding Hills operate on cash-only payment systems. A visitor to Wilderness Lake Park explained, "Heads up, they are cash or Venmo only so be prepared." Always check payment requirements before arrival.

    Site conditions vary: Site maintenance can be inconsistent at some locations. At White Pines Campsites, a visitor reported, "Our site was filthy. A bag of dog poop by a tree, trash under the picnic table, cigarette butts littering the rocks around the fire pit." Always inspect sites upon arrival.

    Seasonal limitations: Granville State Forest and similar state facilities have strict operating seasons. The forest is only open "late May to mid October" with limited amenities. A visitor noted, "Keep in mind, there is no place to dispose of garbage. So be prepared to haul it out."

    Tips for camping with families

    Book secluded sites: At Granville State Forest, campsite selection makes a significant difference. A camper advised, "Def the best campsite in the area very secluded in comparison to the other sites available... Trails are right near the sites so def scope out your spot before purchase."

    Avoid roadside sites: Road noise can disrupt family camping experiences. A Granville visitor warned, "Any of the sites along the road are terrible (e.g. sites 3-5). The road is a main road and is very noisy."

    Consider off-season timing: Northampton/Springfield KOA offers special seasonal events. A visitor shared, "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."

    Tips from RVers

    Verify hookup details: The Quarry Campground advertises full hookups but with limitations. A reviewer explained, "They advertise full hu but turns out to be a lie when you pull in... all full hi is given to seasonal customers. We did receive a pull thru with 50/30/20 and water and that was about it."

    Request specific sites: Sites at Northampton/Springfield KOA vary significantly in quality. One visitor shared their experience: "Although we had requested a specific site on the KOA website, the gentleman in the front office had arranged for us to park in an easily accessible pull-through site, right at the entrance. We really didn't want that particular site, and although he advised against the tricky back-in site 'up on the hill' that we had originally selected, we thought we would at least give it a shot!"

    Understand site spacing: Many RV sites in the region are positioned close together. At Northampton/Springfield KOA, a visitor noted, "Very little privacy between campsites even in wooded areas. A smaller operation with a high percentage of seasonal residents."
