October Mountain features comfortable yurts available from mid-May through mid-October, while Woodford State Park offers both yurts and cabins with modern amenities in a serene mountain setting. Huttopia Berkshires provides dedicated glamping accommodations with electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire pits where permitted. Most glamping sites include beds with proper mattresses, heating elements for cooler evenings, and private outdoor seating areas.

Most glamping sites maintain year-round operations, though peak season runs May through October when all amenities are fully operational. Woodford State Park remains open through Columbus Day weekend, offering fall foliage viewing from comfortable accommodations. According to a camper, "Woodford State Park was great for fall foliage. Quiet, great fire pits, clean bathrooms, firewood and starter for sale plus access to day use area."

After 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.
White 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.
We 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.
One 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.
Nice 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.
We 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.
A 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.
Great campground for families. Lots for the kids to do and plenty of places to just sit and relax.
We came up for a few days and ended up spending way more time at the campground than we planned. The kids liked the pool and fishing pond, and we enjoyed having a fire at night. Nice little getaway.

Water activities beyond swimming: The reservoir at Woodford State Park provides opportunities for boating and fishing.
