Best Cabin Camping near Lanesborough, MA

Several campgrounds in the Berkshire region provide cabin accommodations with varying levels of amenities. October Mountain State Forest Campground includes basic cabin units with electricity and fire rings, while Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites offers more equipped options. "The cabins are small but very clean with AC and small refrigerator, but no bathrooms," notes one visitor about Bonnie Brae. Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground features cabins with electric hookups but limited bathroom facilities. Clarksburg State Park Campground has rustic cabins near a pond with fire pits and picnic tables. Most properties maintain clean bathroom facilities within walking distance of cabin sites.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Privacy Campground has recently rebuilt some of their cabin units, though they remain relatively basic. Mohawk Trail State Forest Campground provides cabins alongside water features, with some units positioned near Cold River. Reservations are essential during peak summer months from May through October, when most properties operate. Pet policies vary by location - Bonnie Brae and October Mountain allow pets at cabin sites, while others restrict animals from certain cabins. As one camper noted about Woodford State Park, "It's one of the most dog-friendly state parks. Dogs are allowed everywhere except three of the camping cabins."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic furnishings typically include a bed frame, mattress, small table, and seating. Kitchen facilities range from none to small refrigerators, with cooking generally limited to outdoor fire rings with grates. Camp stores at Bonnie Brae and other locations sell firewood, ice, and essential supplies. Visitors staying at properties like Zoar Outdoor should note that fires aren't permitted at all cabin sites. For groceries and additional supplies, the towns of Pittsfield and Lee offer multiple shopping options within a 15-20 minute drive of most cabin locations.

    Copake Falls Area — Taconic State Park

    Great spot for your whole family

    This campground overall was pretty good. It is a larger campground, with large sites. Within the campground there are also restrooms available, showers and water. 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. The campsites also have a fire ring pit and a picnic table, which was nice for my large family. It wasn't too busy when we went- we got there on a Friday night around 6pm and were able to get a spot. There are also some fun activities within the campground, and things nearby. There are some good hiking and biking trails. My family and I went on a hike one morning, and my brothers enjoyed riding their bikes along the path. There is a restaurant near by that plays live music. The night we went, it was country music. Not sure how often they do this, or if the music changes. They do also have cabins you can rent, but we enjoyed the camping experience. We were in section C, spot 85. It was a pretty good, private spot. The campground was pretty clean, although we did see some trash throughout the campground that we picked up as we walked by it.

    Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites

    Small quiet campground near a lake & Mt Greylock

    Finally ventured out for a camping trip in this curious season and was delighted to find Bonnie Brae Campground in the Berkshires. It's a compact,clean campground tucked at the end of a quiet neighborhood street, within walking distance to a lake. Many of the RV site are occupied by seasonal campers, and the sites are well-kept. Some of the sites have platforms. This side of the campground was quiet most of the time. The tent and cabin loop circle around the pool area and although you could hear more conversation and noise from this section, everyone was respectful of quiet hours. They also offer a number of cabins for rent with AC and small refrigerator, but no bathrooms. The bathrooms are small, but very clean. They wouldn't meet ADA standards, but there are no drips, stains, or dirt and they seem to check in a couple of times a day to clean up if needed. The pool is now open (delayed this year due to COVID-19) and the kids in particular enjoyed it. You can add a firewood purchase to your reservation and they'll deliver it to your site. 

    I was in site 28 with a teardrop camper. I could have used leveling blocks because it was hard to find a great spot that was level side to side. Sites 27 & 29 each seemed a little more level and 29 was larger.

    Pontoosuc Lake is a short walk away; there are boat rentals available and I saw a number of people fishing from Pontoosuc Park just above the dam. There's a rail trail nearby and Mt Greylock State Reservation offers numerous hiking opportunities 11 miles to the north.

    Treetopia Campground

    Amazing camping/Glamping!

    Treetopia is a unique and truly amazing camping/Glamping experience in the Catskills, New York! We were able to meet Betty, Treetopia’s manager, who toured us around the campground and took us into each type of rental they provide for that special camping trip. They have RV sites, yurts, custom furnished treehouses with electricity, beautiful tiny homes with outdoor living spaces, completely remodeled vintage airstreams, and gorgeous private cabins! Every unit was more beautiful and comfortable than the next. The backdrop for the campground is the wonderful Catskill Mountains and all of the nature that includes. A wonderfully inspiring place! 😊👍🏻

    If you have an RV, they have 30/50 amp with electric and water. There is no sewer, but they have a dump-station and on-site Honeywagon truck that you can schedule. They staff was wonderful and went out of their way to make our stay perfect! 💗

    Privacy Campground

    Private but needs updates

    I thought I read someplace that there is new ownership, at any rate the folks there were very nice. And the place lives up to its name. We’re not fond of RV parking lots and the sites were well spaced which gets it many extra points. We had a popup in a drive-through site at the bottom of the hill which was fine, though pretty muddy after a day of rain. With that hill there’s no place for larger RVs here unless they were to decide to use the field at the bottom. As far as infrastructure a lot of what is here is very old and dated, sometimes to the point of being comical, but it does appear some updates are happening. Bathroom building is decent and kept very clean (though it would be nice if any of the door latches on the women’s toilets worked.) It appears they have built or rebuilt some cabins. Hiking up and down the hill to the bathroom does get old and there is really no place to park there like most places have without blocking the road. Can squeeze in one car near the (ancient and yucky cold water) dishwashing station. There is a tiny campsite with cabin on the road below it, with a firepit and table like a foot away from the road. Maybe they should eliminate that site to make parking for a couple cars at least, as its a terrible campsite probably the only bad one there. (One night that site had 2 cars, with one blocking the road when we tried to drive past - they should have made the extra car stay down in the lot.) People moved their car a bit, but still had to drive very close to their bonfire. Like much of the area, there is essentially no cell coverage here. An area with wifi would be an excellent upgrade. I know, you’re camping, but sometimes you just need to do something, make a restaurant reservation, or check the weather.

    Update- I just found and read an article about the change of ownership. Showed a picture of a recreation room. Where the heck was that? In the building labeled “the Barn?” Which I thought was an actual barn and off limits. The dyrt says there is wifi, maybe it was there? Would have been nice to know about.

    White Pines Campsites

    Clean Campsites

    We stayed at site 85 in Sunny Crest and liked having some privacy. 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.

    The picnic table was chained down so there weren’t many options to set up having the fire pit and picnic table where they were.

    Hiking trails were nice, good variety of easier and more difficult terrain.

    Woodford State Park Campground

    Beautiful for fall foliage

    This campground was great. Quiet, great fire pits, clean bathrooms, firewood and starter for sale plus access to day use area. The lake next to the campground is beautiful and has plenty of picnic tables and grills for use. Close to hiking trails and the city of Bennington.

    Frosty Acres Campground

    Best kept secret. Tucked away

    Awesome camping resort. Seasonal rates are excellent. We stayed from April until October then decided to stay over winter. They have a small winter section. You'll have the entire mountain side all to yourself! Snowshoe, cross country ski. Winter campfires. Owners Mike and Sherri are great. Dumpsters, laundry with coin machine. Very remote. Windy as all get out. Elevation about 1409 feet. View of the sunrise over the entire valley are awesome. Very very cool place. Some summer residents are a bit into their music, mostly on weekends. Bring your golf cart and beer cooler 🙄. Cov... I'm not saying that word, reduced activities here but it was still awesome. Two ponds to fish in, one you can swim in, kid friendly small pool, horseshoes and huge field to hit golf balls in with 3 holes. Pet friendly. Kid friendly. Huge club house and store that was closed for the big. Arcade, grill, pool table and small store. Lp gas. Wifi is so so. Backed up to state forest land. Enjoy!!!

    Blue Mountain Reservation

    Great campground in the Eastern Catskills

    This was my first time staying at this campground. I went here with my friend and we were using it as our base camp as we went out in trails in the eastern Catskills notably the Devils Path, echo lake, etc. It’s proximity to those trail heads was great and we had perfect weather. The campsites are nothing special here, they come with a picnic table, fire ring, and charcoal grill. I used the charcoal grill every night to cook our meals so that worked out perfectly. They have a camp store at the front of the property and it’s stocked with basically anything you could think of needing including charcoal, ice, firewood among other camp items. They had private bathroom/ showers which was a really nice luxury. As someone who typically goes backpacking it was nice to go hiking, shower, cook, and then relax by the fire. They have a pool which I did not use but it looked nice. The staff here was very friendly and helpful. If you ordered firewood they would deliver it right to your site which was appreciated. My only complaint would be that the campsites felt like they were somewhat on top of each other. Despite that I would still recommend staying here 4.5/5 stars. Pictures are from our campsite, and the places we hiked while staying here which were echo lake, the Eastern Devils Path, and huckleberry point.

    Lake Taghkanic State Park Campground

    Great Spot!

    Big and spacious state park with many camping options. Has options for trailers, tent sites, platforms for tents and even some cabins. Small store in park that sells firewood and ice and a few other things you may need. Big lake with swimming and boating as well as many hiking trails. Bathrooms on site as well as showers. Some sites are close together, but there are a few a little more secluded and set back. Fire pits are great. Can’t wait to camp here again!


Guide to Lanesborough

Cabin camping near Lanesborough, Massachusetts offers year-round access to the Berkshire region at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 3,500 feet. The area receives approximately 47 inches of rainfall annually, creating lush forest conditions around cabins in state forests and private campgrounds. Summer cabin rentals typically maintain temperatures 5-10 degrees cooler than surrounding urban areas due to forest cover and elevation.

What to do

Waterfront activities: At Clarksburg State Park Campground, cabins are positioned around a pond with multiple access points. "The boat launch area looked great, but we didn't get our kayaks in due to the weather," notes one visitor who also mentioned the "hiking trails were extremely wet and muddy" during rainy periods.

Mountain exploration: October Mountain State Forest Campground offers cabins with proximity to extensive trail systems. "You have to check out the marsh trail it is absolutely stunning. The camp ground is very close to the local supper market and not much further from a hospital," reports a camper who found the location convenient for both outdoor activities and accessing necessary supplies.

River swimming: Mohawk Trail State Forest Campground provides cabin accommodation with water access. "It is beautiful, lots of shade, and you can camp right beside the river!" explains one visitor who noted the lack of phone service but clean bathroom facilities. Cabins positioned near Cold River offer natural swimming spots with gravel bottoms and moderate water flow.

Seasonal wildlife viewing: Woodford State Park Campground cabins provide opportunities for nature observation. "We heard coyotes at night and loons in the morning," reports a visitor who stayed in the first loop and appreciated the dog-friendly camper's beach separate from the day-use area.

What campers like

Cabin construction: Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites offers sturdy cabins with modern amenities. "The cabin I stayed in was awesome... could have stayed for a week and next year I plan to do just that!!" states one camper who particularly noted the clean bathhouse facilities. The cabins feature solid construction with private space despite the campground's compact size.

Privacy levels: Privacy Campground lives up to its name with well-spaced cabin sites. "The place lives up to its name. We're not fond of RV parking lots and the sites were well spaced which gets it many extra points," remarks a visitor who appreciated the separation between sites despite noting some dated infrastructure.

Forest immersion: Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground cabins provide forest settings with varied terrain. "This state forest campground offers large sites, some of them on a grassy open area or tucked into the woods," observed a camper who also mentioned the clean bathroom facilities and bear box availability at each site.

Winter access: While many cabins close during winter months, Taconic State Park's cabin area remains open longer than most, operating from early May through late November. "Overall a great experience and relatively cheap for what you get," notes a visitor who found the platform tent sites spacious enough for multiple small tents.

What you should know

Bear safety requirements: Many cabin locations implement mandatory bear safety protocols. At Savoy Mountain, "Bear boxes are provided, but I question how serious they are about the bear problem because the dumpster was not at all secure," reports a camper who found the inconsistent approach to food storage confusing. Several state parks require all food items be stored in provided bear boxes overnight.

Bathroom facilities: Cabin sites typically have central bathroom buildings rather than in-unit facilities. "The bathrooms are small, but very clean. They wouldn't meet ADA standards, but there are no drips, stains, or dirt and they seem to check in a couple of times a day to clean up if needed," notes a visitor to Bonnie Brae who appreciated the maintenance schedule.

Cooking restrictions: Some cabin sites limit cooking options. At Zoar Outdoor, "They don't allow fired at the campsites though which is annoying and their quiet hours are quite oppressive," mentions a camper who found the fire restrictions inconvenient. Many cabins require outdoor cooking using provided fire rings or grills.

Seasonal operating dates: Most cabin facilities operate on limited seasonal schedules. October Mountain State Forest Campground runs from "mid May to mid October," while Bonnie Brae extends slightly longer from "May 1 to October 15," providing a narrow window for reservations.

Tips for camping with families

Water recreation proximity: Clarksburg State Park Campground cabins offer easy lake access. "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," advises a family visitor who appreciated the weekend programming for children.

Noise considerations: Woodford State Park Campground has active family atmosphere. "If you're looking for a quiet spot maybe don't look here. If you have kids and don't mind them making friends and roaming the campground then this is great!" recommends a camper who highlighted the boat rentals as a particular attraction for families.

Site selection strategy: At Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground, site location significantly impacts experience. "As described, it provided full shade and contained a fire pit. The ground covering was mostly crushed rocks and dirt so we would highly recommend when camping with a tent to bring a footprint as well as a cushioned sleeping pad," explains a visitor who found the perimeter sites more appropriate for family camping.

Safety features: Dingman's Family Campground provides structured family-oriented environments. "Absolutely loved this campground, sites are well spaced and the surrounding area is gorgeous!" notes a visitor who highlighted the exceptionally clean facilities and well-stocked camp store.

Tips from RVers

Access limitations: Many cabin areas have restricted RV access due to narrow roads and limited turnaround space. At Privacy Campground, "We had a popup in a drive-through site at the bottom of the hill which was fine, though pretty muddy after a day of rain. With that hill there's no place for larger RVs here unless they were to decide to use the field at the bottom," warns a visitor who noted access challenges.

Site levelness: RV sites near cabins often require leveling equipment. At Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground, "I could have used leveling blocks because it was hard to find a great spot that was level side to side. Sites 27 & 29 each seemed a little more level and 29 was larger," advises an RVer with a teardrop camper who found some sites more accommodating than others.

Power considerations: Electric hookups vary significantly between cabin campgrounds. "October Mountain State Forest Campground includes basic cabin units with electricity and fire rings," making it suitable for those needing power access, while other locations offer more primitive options with limited or no electrical service.
