Best Campgrounds near Leeds, MA

671 Reviews

The area surrounding Leeds, Massachusetts features several established campgrounds with varying amenities and accommodation types. Northampton/Springfield KOA in nearby Westhampton offers tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and glamping options, while the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) State Forest Campground in Williamsburg provides a more natural setting with tent and RV sites. These campgrounds are situated within 10-15 miles of Leeds, making them convenient options for visitors to the region. White Birch Campground in Whately and Country Aire Campgrounds in Shelburne Falls round out the selection of developed camping areas in the Pioneer Valley.

Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, typically from May through October, with some closing after Columbus Day weekend. A visitor noted, "We went to this campground during fall foliage time. Very peaceful and very great staff." Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for summer weekends and during peak fall foliage season when the area becomes particularly popular. The DAR State Forest features significantly higher rates for out-of-state visitors compared to Massachusetts residents, with one camper pointing out the substantial difference: "$54 a night for not even any hookups when MA residents pay $17 is insane." Many campgrounds provide amenities like showers, restrooms, and fire rings, though their quality and cleanliness vary by location.

Campground experiences in this region range from family-friendly KOAs with organized activities to more serene state forest settings. The DAR State Forest receives praise for its natural amenities, with one camper describing it as having "nice campsites, nice facilities, nice forest" and noting that "the sites are very roomy and wooded." Hiking trails, swimming areas, and fishing opportunities enhance the camping experience at several locations. Several visitors mentioned that the campgrounds near Leeds offer good proximity to attractions in Northampton and other nearby towns, making them practical home bases for exploring the region. Cell reception can be limited in some areas, particularly at DAR State Forest where a camper reported "no cell reception for most carriers and there is no wi-fi."

    Austin Hawes Memorial Campground — American Legion State Forest

    Great State Forest Campground

    Austin Hawes (also known as American Legion State Forest/Campground) is a great little place in a beautiful part of the State. They have cabins if you want some of the creature comforts, as well as sites suitable for tents or campers. Have camped here before in tents and a pop up, it's right on the Farmington River, so we have gone tubing down the river, swimming and fishing as well. The bathrooms have showers and flush toilets, there are hiking trails in and near the campground, and stores not too far. Sites vary in size and privacy.

    Zoar Outdoor

    Nice and would like to visit again but not within 12 hours-BOO

    I’m writing this mid-October from western MA. In between homes and looked forward to staying another night, but can not because of a 12 hour advance policy. There were plenty of tent sites available last night. Not a happy camper.

    Gus's Gardens Camping

    It was quite and peaceful

    We enjoyed our stay with Gus very much. With the email to confirm our stay, there were excellent directions to get there. It is behind his home by a lake with creek nearby. There is also a hiking trail. We had no problems. If we are in the area again, we would camp here again.  Thanks

    Sage's Revine

    Not highest recommended

    There was a bunch of signs that said no parking so we parked at the entrance to the trailhead. The area itself is beautiful but I believe it is more for tent camping versus cars, overlanding vehicles and RVs.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Nice ‘n Easy campground

    We stayed for 3 days off season so not busy. Sites located along the river are wooded, field sites are very open great for seeing the stars at night. Sites have fire rings with excellent airflow for good burning with low smoke. Hook ups are in great condition for power, water, sewer. Showers and bath house on site. Laundry and game room at office area. Office staff was very helpful and they’re open later into the day til 7 PM. Good firewood and large bundle delivered for $15 to your site. We passed over this site on our first trip to the area but are glad we came here and we’re planning to return. Follow the website directions to get here as there are covered bridges in the area with low Clearance and low weight limits.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Another great trip to Ashuelot River Campground

    We spent another great weekend at the Ashuelot River Campground. We recently purchased a new-to-us camper and wanted to get in a trip or two before putting it away for the winter. This was our 2nd visit to Ashuelot.

    We were in site 59, a pull-through with water and 30/50 amp service. The site was level and easy to get into and park. We were in a fully wooded area on the left side of the campground, which we prefer. They have sites located in fully open areas, as well as some that are partially wooded and have river access. There is a nice mix.

    Having good weather, we took a lazy tube ride from one side of the campground to the other. It has been quite dry in the area, so they are experiencing a drought. However, a little rain in the week got the river moving a bit. We were able to enjoy a nice, slow drift around the campground.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time again and will definitely be back.

    Gus's Gardens Camping

    Nice weekend getaway

    This place was really nice. Easy to pull our 20ft camper in. Two minutes drive to the very cute town of Wilmington. Good places to eat there. The campsite was really private. Had a picnic table and fire pit. The pond was sweet and the Deerfield Valley Trail is right off the campsite. We would definitely like to stay there again.
