Best Campgrounds near Florida, MA

630 Reviews

Camping in the Berkshire Mountains near Florida, Massachusetts centers around several established campgrounds with varied accommodation options. Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground, situated near the Hoosac Range, provides tent, RV, and cabin camping with both wooded and open sites. Other nearby options include Mohawk Trail State Forest, about 10 miles west, and Mount Greylock State Reservation to the north. The region's developed facilities predominantly accommodate tent and RV camping, though some locations offer cabins or yurts for those seeking additional comfort in this mountainous setting.

Road access to campgrounds in the area requires careful navigation, as GPS directions can be unreliable on mountain roads. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from mid-May through mid-October due to harsh Berkshire winters. Facilities like Savoy Mountain State Forest maintain clean bathrooms with limited shower facilities, and many sites include bear boxes for food storage as black bears are common in the region. Cell service is extremely limited throughout the area, making advance planning essential. A visitor noted, "This campground is hard to find that not even a cell signal can get there, if you're looking to unplug this is a great spot!"

The camping experience in this region balances natural beauty with modest amenities. Campers particularly value riverside sites at Mohawk Trail State Forest, where the sound of rushing water enhances the experience. The area features multiple hiking opportunities, including access to portions of the Appalachian Trail and paths around Mount Greylock, Massachusetts' highest peak. Sites on the periphery of campgrounds typically offer more privacy and tree cover than central locations. According to one review, "Many of the sites on the periphery of the campground are wooded and somewhat secluded, with 1-3 being the most secluded." Swimming opportunities exist at locations like North Pond in Savoy Mountain State Forest, though some visitors report variable water quality at certain swimming areas throughout the region.

    Zoar Outdoor

    Nice and would like to visit again but not within 12 hours-BOO

    I’m writing this mid-October from western MA. In between homes and looked forward to staying another night, but can not because of a 12 hour advance policy. There were plenty of tent sites available last night. Not a happy camper.

    Gus's Gardens Camping

    It was quite and peaceful

    We enjoyed our stay with Gus very much. With the email to confirm our stay, there were excellent directions to get there. It is behind his home by a lake with creek nearby. There is also a hiking trail. We had no problems. If we are in the area again, we would camp here again.  Thanks

    Sage's Revine

    Not highest recommended

    There was a bunch of signs that said no parking so we parked at the entrance to the trailhead. The area itself is beautiful but I believe it is more for tent camping versus cars, overlanding vehicles and RVs.

    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.

Guide to Florida

Camping spots near Florida, Massachusetts sit at some of the highest elevations in the state, with the surrounding Berkshire Mountains reaching over 3,000 feet. The region experiences more significant temperature fluctuations than lower-lying areas, with summer temperatures typically 5-10 degrees cooler than nearby valleys. Campgrounds in this region typically operate from late May through mid-October, with mid-September offering peak fall foliage viewing opportunities.

What to do

Swimming in mountain ponds: At Clarksburg State Park Campground, visitors can enjoy swimming in a cool pond surrounded by forested hillsides. One camper noted, "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."

Fishing for trout: Pine Hollow Campground offers a stocked fishing pond for anglers of all skill levels. A visitor mentioned, "There is a small pond that is fun to fish and swim in. The sites are all set up around the pond. We put our trailer sideways and faced the pond."

Kayaking on mountain lakes: Several campgrounds provide boat launches for non-motorized watercraft, allowing visitors to explore peaceful mountain waters. As one camper at Woodford State Park described, "The reservoir is beautiful- plenty of space to spread out for paddling and swimming. We had no issues with noise from other campers."

What campers like

Riverside camping: Sites along the Deerfield River are highly sought after for their proximity to water. A visitor at Mohawk Park Campground shared, "Tent sites are located right on the Deerfield River... literally. 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!"

Mount Greylock access: The highest peak in Massachusetts draws many campers to the region. A visitor at Sperry Road Campground commented, "The hike in was a fairly easy 1.3 to the campground. The sites were huge and spread out. Although we could kind of see our neighbors if we tried, we were far enough away that we weren't looking at them all weekend."

Wildlife sightings: The forested settings offer opportunities to observe native wildlife. A camper at Woodford State Park noted, "We heard coyotes at night and loons in the morning. We're going back later this summer for a longer stay."

What you should know

Bear precautions: Black bears are common throughout the Florida, Massachusetts region. Most campgrounds provide bear boxes at each site. One camper at Mohawk Trail State Forest Campground advised, "This campground is peaceful and has sites that are well spaced. There are lots of black bears so keeping food in the near lockers or locked in the car at all times is a must!"

Limited connectivity: Cell service is virtually non-existent at many campgrounds in the area. A visitor at Savoy Mountain State Forest commented, "The park is so hard to find that not even a cell signal can get there, if you're looking to unplug this is a great spot!"

Navigational challenges: GPS directions are often unreliable in this mountainous region. According to one camper, "Google Maps will often take you down a bumpy dirt road….stick to Rt 2 as long as possible if you're coming from that direction!"

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best beaches in Florida for camping?

Florida's coastline offers exceptional beach camping experiences. Fort De Soto Park near St. Petersburg features waterfront sites with direct beach access, full hookups for RVs, and excellent fishing opportunities. On the Atlantic side, Anastasia State Park provides a pristine beach setting with sites nestled among maritime hammocks. For a more remote experience, Bahia Honda State Park in the Florida Keys offers stunning waterfront camping with spectacular sunset views. St. George Island State Park combines beautiful Gulf beaches with spacious campsites. Most beach campgrounds require reservations well in advance, especially during winter months when demand peaks.

Where can I find free camping in Florida?

Florida offers several free camping opportunities in its national forests. The Ocala National Forest provides multiple dispersed camping areas where you can stay for up to 14 days at no cost. Similarly, Apalachicola National Forest has designated free camping zones away from developed areas. The Big Cypress National Preserve in South Florida allows free backcountry camping with a required permit. For RVers, some Walmarts, Bass Pro Shops, and Cracker Barrels may allow overnight parking, though always ask permission first. Remember that free sites typically lack amenities like water, electricity, or restrooms, so come prepared with supplies and practice Leave No Trace principles.

Are there primitive camping areas in Florida State Parks?

Yes, many Florida State Parks offer primitive camping options for those seeking a more rustic experience. Jonathan Dickinson State Park features remote sites along the Loxahatchee River accessible only by hiking, biking, or paddling. Myakka River State Park provides backcountry campsites reachable via a 6-mile trail. These primitive sites typically provide only basic amenities like a fire ring and perhaps a picnic table. Most require a permit obtained in advance through the park office or Reserve America. Pack in all necessary supplies including water, food, and waste disposal bags. Wildlife encounters are common at primitive sites, so proper food storage is essential to prevent attracting animals.

When is the best time of year to camp in Florida?

The ideal camping season in Florida runs from October through April when temperatures are moderate and humidity is lower. Winter months (December-February) offer pleasant daytime temperatures in the 60s-70s°F with cooler evenings, perfect for campfires. This is considered peak season, especially in southern regions like the Keys and Everglades where conditions are ideal. Summer camping (May-September) brings challenges including high humidity, temperatures regularly above 90°F, frequent afternoon thunderstorms, and abundant mosquitoes. Fall camping (October-November) provides a sweet spot with decreasing humidity and fewer crowds as snowbirds haven't yet arrived. Spring (March-April) offers beautiful wildflowers but requires earlier reservations as many winter visitors are still present.
