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.
TravelerThis is a quick and easy pull off that is large enough to accommodate most vehicles. Only con which wasn’t that big of an issue was that you are close to the road, so any vehicles going by which wasn’t many you would hear. Besides that you are in dark and quiet state forest. I would recommend this to someone for a quick overnight stay rather than an extended stay.
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.

Waterfall hikes: 2-3 miles from camping areas. At Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground, visitors can access Tannery Falls within a short drive. As one camper noted, "Went to Tannery Falls, beautiful waterfall. About a 20 minute drive away, worth a visit."

Bear-resistant storage: Standard at most Berkshire sites. Mount Greylock State Reservation provides secure options at each site. "The bear lockers are roomy and clean and could double as storage to keep items out of the rain," writes one camper who recommends reviewing "bear aware" practices before arrival.
Secluded tent sites: Best reserved weekdays. At Mohawk Trail State Forest Campground, riverside sites offer natural sound barriers. "The road is right across the street but you cannot hear it at all and it is covered by the trees and sound of the rushing water."
Shower facilities: Variable by campground. Many locations offer limited shower options. One camper at October Mountain State Forest noted: "Biggest negative would be only two showers for the whole campground."
Campsite privacy varies widely: Site selection impacts experience. At Savoy Mountain, "Many of the sites (most of the ones on the periphery of the campground) are wooded and somewhat secluded, with 1-3 being the most secluded."
Cell coverage is limited or nonexistent: Plan offline activities. "No phone signal" at Mohawk Trail State Forest, while at Pittsfield State Forest Campground, "Quick drive to mt.greylock" if you need connectivity.

Site hookup configuration: Plan for extended connections. At Historic Valley Campground, "One issue is the hookups are spread out on your sites. So you may need extra hose or longer cord to complete your hookups."
Navigation challenges: Follow official directions. Spacious Skies Woodland Hills campers warn, "They tell you clearly to avoid the GPS directions, but I can't help but think the giant hill they wanted us to avoid would've been better than the dead end and destroyed awning as a result of theirs."
Dump station locations: Available at select campgrounds. October Mountain State Forest provides this service, though most dog friendly campgrounds near Lanesborough require planning as sanitary dumping options are limited in the region.
