Fernwood Forest Campground features electric and water hookups with 50-amp service, though sites are not big-rig friendly. Lake Taghkanic State Park Campground provides electric, water, and sewer hookups with both 30 and 50-amp options for RVs. "We had a site with Electric and Water hook up.

Narrow mountain roads present challenges for larger motorhomes accessing some campgrounds near Hancock, particularly during peak foliage season. Pull-through sites are limited at most parks, with Dorset RV Park being one of the few offering easier access for larger rigs. Cell service varies significantly across the Berkshires region, with multiple reviews noting weak or non-existent coverage at many parks. Most campgrounds provide sanitary dump stations even when full sewer hookups aren't available at individual sites. Dog-friendly policies are common, though some parks require paper vaccination records rather than just tags. Winter camping options are extremely limited, with nearly all RV parks closing after mid-October until May.
"Jamaica is a nice little state park nestled in the woods and by a nice River. Very family friendly and close to Manchester and Stratton and Bromley Mountains."
"The campsites were beautiful with the river behind us. Not to many people there so we're got the best spot. The bathrooms are sanitary and are not port-a-potties."
from $20 - $42 / night
"Great beach, 5 minute drive from campgound. Clean facilities, with a rec room for rainy days. A camp store with all the supplies you might have forgotten. One caveat: beware of site G006."

"Our site was back-in and had plenty of space. There's a lot of green space in this campground and it's right on the river. We were next to a little fenced in area for dogs that our dog loved."
"Well maintained, located on the Mohawk River. Shady, grassy areas. Boat launch and pier. Friendly people. A perfect campground."

TravelerCamp is pretty close together but most spots have a thick tree line between them which is nice. You still get a bit of road noise off the bridge and surrounding areas but it’s not to bad and the views at the boat launch on the Hudson are gorgeous
ScoutIt was dark. I arrived after 7p. There were 3 rv camps already going on. All 3 had camp fires. Many fire rings for many groups. No hassles at all. It's off the beaten path but worth it. The first 4 camp sites were open. Made a fire. Ate some food. I got a good night sleep. Nothing ate me or attacked me so that's 5 star in my book.
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.
Camping near Hancock, Massachusetts offers multiple options in the Berkshire Mountains, where elevations reach 3,491 feet at Mount Greylock, the state's highest peak. The region experiences cold winters with average snowfall of 73 inches and mild summers with temperatures typically ranging from 75-85°F. Most campgrounds in the area operate from May through mid-October, with limited availability during the popular fall foliage season.
Hiking to waterfalls: The Jamaica State Park Campground provides access to multiple waterfall trails. "We hiked the west river trail (which leads right out of the campground) to Hamilton falls which is a gravel closed road that follows the west river upstream 2 miles to Hamilton falls trail which then leads up hill for another mile to the falls," notes Chris D., who cautions that "people have lost their lives at these falls so be extra cautious with children around the falls."
Swimming in natural areas: Lake Taghkanic State Park Campground features a clean swimming beach with boat rentals available. As Seth K. mentions, "The campground has a lake with boat rentals. Late night, stargazing over the lake is a great pastime, because the water is calm and the light pollution is low." Expect to pay approximately $15 to use personal paddleboards or kayaks at the lake.
Mountain biking: Pittsfield State Forest Campground provides extensive trail networks suitable for mountain biking. One visitor noted, "Great hiking in forest, saw a few mt. bikers." The park's loop road stretches over four miles with significant elevation changes, making it challenging for casual riders but rewarding for experienced cyclists.
Private wooded sites: Fernwood Forest Campground receives consistently positive feedback for site privacy. As Tyler H. writes, "The sites are big and this has to be the cleanest campground I've ever visited!" Many reviews note the substantial tree coverage between sites creates natural barriers between camping neighbors.
Clean facilities: Mt. Greylock Campsite Park maintains exceptionally clean restrooms and showers according to numerous campers. "The bathhouse was clean but they have pay showers...really for the price you pay," notes Todd M., highlighting that while facilities are well-maintained, the additional shower fee disappoints some visitors.
Quiet atmosphere: Jamaica State Park Campground offers a peaceful camping experience with limited noise pollution. As Brittany B. states, "find something that you dont like about this park... go ahead, ill wait. Small town general store, no cell service and a gorgeous back drop is a perfect spot to just unwind from the real world." The lack of cellular coverage contributes to the disconnected experience many campers seek.
Campsite terrain varies significantly: Many campgrounds in the region feature sloped or uneven terrain. At Pittsfield State Forest Campground, one camper reported, "Our site was level but not all of them appeared to be so," while another mentioned, "Campsites are rocky, had to re arrange tent to get off rock." Request specific information about site grading when booking.
Limited cellular connectivity: Cell service is inconsistent throughout the region, with many campgrounds reporting minimal coverage. At Jamaica State Park, a reviewer specifically noted "no cell service" as part of the appeal, though this may present challenges for those needing to stay connected.
Seasonal differences in amenities: Most campgrounds in the Berkshires operate seasonally with different services available depending on timing. As one Prospect Mountain Campground visitor 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."
