Northampton/Springfield KOA and Prospect Mountain Campground house upscale glamping accommodations within 30 minutes of Montgomery, Massachusetts. Both offer several glamping options including fully-furnished canvas tents and modern cabin-style units with amenities far beyond basic camping. Visitors appreciate the comfortable sleeping arrangements, climate control, and private outdoor spaces at these glamping resorts. "We stayed in the cabins and they were clean, and we liked our proximity to the pool," noted one Northampton KOA visitor. The stylish accommodations feature electricity, comfortable beds with linens, and private decks for enjoying morning coffee or evening stargazing. October Mountain State Forest also provides year-round yurt rentals equipped with wooden floors, sturdy canvas walls, and essential furnishings for an elevated camping experience with amenities.
Seasonal activities enhance the glamping experience at these destinations, with Northampton KOA offering organized weekend events from May through October. The property features a swimming pool, playground, hayrides, and special holiday celebrations including Halloween events with trick-or-treating for families. According to one guest, "They had a Halloween/trick or treat night, fire truck rides, it's very kid friendly." Prospect Mountain Campground provides a serene lakeside setting with fishing opportunities, an on-site pool, and scheduled recreational activities. Both glamping destinations maintain well-kept grounds with access to clean shower facilities. While peak season runs May through October, some domes and pods may be available during spring and fall with advance reservations, especially for weekend getaways seeking the perfect balance between outdoor immersion and comfortable accommodations.
"Quiet (besides occasional plane overhead) lots of trees, spacious sites, clean and modern bathrooms and showers, nice friendly helpful staff."
"Very peaceful and very great staff. They had hayless rides and fire truck rides. This time they had a haunted house walk through."
"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."
"However one issue was the garbage situation. Had to walk a long distance to throw out the trash."
from $50 - $62 / night
"I do wish they had more bathrooms though. Especially by the pool!!! Camp staff was very friendly and helpful. The kids had a blast fishing and riding their bikes around."
"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."
"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!"
"For one, the bathrooms are cleeean as hail, and this place is really well-appointed. Pooping in relative comfort basically makes this glamping."

"We arrived with 2 children under the age of 5 and pulled in. The facility was very clean and neat. Upon getting our site (#14) we were shocked at the size of it."
"Super friendly staff clean sites and bathrooms. Great little store. Activities for the kids. Not a ton of privacy, but we didn’t mind much."
"We booked last minute (2 hours before we arrived) and were met with the friendliest staff ready to help us at 7:30PM and get us checked in."
"There is a nice pool just getting ready to open we are here mid, May 14th we leave. There is horse shoes, shuffle board, basketball, play ground, swimming pond, fishing stream and fishing pond."

"Not all sites are secluded, but we were the only ones so it was nice and private. At the time there was only one port-a-potty for the tent area we were in and no water source."
"Connecticut is LACKING when it comes to outdoor activities when compared to some of the places around the country."
from $70 / night
"We stayed at a platform tent site and were able to park two vehicles on site but the grounds had plenty of parking not too far from the sites."
"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."

"Laundry is clean, bathrooms are clean and showers are hot. Pool, dishwashing station, sometimes quite sometimes very active. Love this place! Wish it was open year round!"
"The campground is well-maintained the staff is friendly. So it will back from the road with a little brook running through it"
ScoutLots of seasonal campers here. Some damaged trailers in a few spots just sitting there- not sure what the campsites plan is. Bathrooms clean. I saw a schedule of activities for the upcoming weekend and it looks like they offer some nice things for kids. There is a pond in the front for fishing.
LegendThis campground is associated with a large amusement park. We were there in the fall when the amusement park was closed so the campground was not very busy but image it would have a very crowded feel if you were there during the summer. The RV sites are buddy sites which is never our favorite set-up (unless we are traveling with friends). Luckily, there was no one in the site next to us during our stay. The campground is big rig-friendly with roads and sites wide and long enough to accommodate any size RV; however, the road and roundabout you encounter when entering the campground is tight. There was very little traffic when we entered so navigating the entrance booth and roundabout was doable. The RV slots you pull into to check in at registration are far too short to accommodate large RVs with their tow vehicles and we ended up taking up four spaces. The tent sites are set away from the cabins and RV sites. Some are nicely tucked up against the tree line while others are in a grassy area and others are sandy nestled under some scrubby pine trees. One of the problems with the location of the tent sites is that they are far away from the bathrooms. Garbage cans are scattered throughout the campground so you don’t have to walk very far to dump your trash. There is no sewer but the electric (50-amp) worked well. There is cable but the channels were not HD so we switched to our over-the-air antenna and got great HD reception with about 60 channels. There is wifi but we could not get it at our site so we just used our Verizon hotspot (which had great reception). The water pressure is very high so we dialed our regulator back to around 45. Roads and sites are gravel. All the sites are level and have a picnic table and fire pit. We noticed that some of the fire pits needed to be cleaned out because rude campers littered them with water bottles, cans, and other garbage in the fire pits. One of the downsides is the noise from local recycling/transfer station. There is a dump station set to the side as you enter/exit. It was a little tight for us getting our 45’ RV in there but it was doable. There is only one sewer dump so we can image that it can be pretty backed up on Sundays when everybody checks out.
ScoutAfter a busy few weeks, this was exactly the break we needed. The kids went swimming, we did some fishing, and everyone came home tired in a good way lol.
ScoutWhite Pines made a really good home base for our trip. We spent most of the days checking out different spots around northwest Connecticut and came back here in the evenings. Made dinner outside, had a fire, and just relaxed. The campground itself had everything we needed without having to make a bunch of extra trips into town.
ScoutWe brought our camper up for the weekend and the kids immediately wanted to go to the pool.😂 They also loved the fishing pond and exploring around the campground. There was plenty to keep them busy while we got some actual downtime.
ScoutOne thing I really liked was having wifi when we needed it. Nice to be able to check in on work and then put the phone away and enjoy the rest of the day.
ScoutNice campground with a good mix of activities. We went fishing one morning, spent the afternoon at the pool and had a fire that night. Pretty much a perfect camping day.
ScoutWe stayed in a cabin and it worked out perfectly for us. Spent the days exploring the area and came back in the evening to cook and hang out. Would definetly do it again.
TravelerA nice wooded campground that was quiet despite being almost full on our Friday night stay.
The site we stayed at (64) had some pretty large roots to drive over and may have been an issue for a low clearance vehicle (we have a Subaru Outback).
The shower / house bathroom combo units weee very clean with hot water and baby changing station.

Hiking trails near waterfalls: Access Bash Bish Falls via trails from Copake Falls Area — Taconic State Park, located about 40 minutes from Montgomery. "Had a couple spots right next to each other on a group trip. There are plenty of hiking trails nearby and of course, trails to Bash Bish Falls which is beautiful. It was low the first time we visited and we were able to make it to the top of the falls to go swimming and the views were incredible," reports one visitor.
Water activities: During summer months, several campgrounds offer swimming options. Prospect Mountain Campground features both a pool and lake access. According to a camper, "We liked this campground a lot! Lots of trees and shade. Great pool. The sites on the water looked nice- hoping to try for that next time!"
Seasonal events: October brings fall foliage viewing opportunities alongside seasonal activities. A camper at Northampton / Springfield KOA notes, "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."
Local exploration: The area surrounding Montgomery provides access to small towns with unique attractions. "We are very close to Berkshire East, in a small town of Shelburne Falls. This place is very quiet even with all the kids," mentions a camper from Country Aire Campground.

There was a hiking trail on the property and the host mentioned they were building a Disc Golf course on the property."

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," notes a visitor at October Mountain State Forest Campground.
Natural surroundings: Wooded sites provide shade and privacy at many locations. A visitor to Sunset View Farms commented, "Nicely kept grounds, dry stacked stone walls can be seen though out the campground."
Year-round yurt camping: Montgomery, Massachusetts area offers yurt camping options throughout the year.

Bathroom facilities: Quality and availability of restrooms varies significantly. "The bathrooms were very clean. I felt safe in this campground," notes a visitor to October Mountain State Forest.
Site spacing: Privacy between sites differs greatly among campgrounds. A visitor to White Pines Campsites observed, "We've stayed from F-Su. We got a tent spot and it was perfect since it was the furthest one away and there was no one near us which is probably why we loved it so much bc we were so isolated."
Weather considerations: Spring camping can involve temperature fluctuations and increased precipitation. At Prospect Mountain Campground, one camper noted, "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."
Playground access: Many campgrounds maintain play areas specifically designed for children. At Lone Oak Camp Sites, "It's a super nice campground and close enough for a quick trip! Some sites can be very close though but otherwise great weekend trip!"

Seasonal options: Some campgrounds offer extended stay options. At Wilderness Lake Park, a visitor observed, "While this is about 60% RVs, the tent sites are great. The host gave us a secluded spot in the back to the point I didn't feel like I was at a campground other than the fire ring."
