Pine Lake RV Resort features 230 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp service on spacious pull-through pads.

Camp Coldbrook Golf & RV Resort in Barre accommodates travel trailers with water and electric hookups on sites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, though its 30-amp service may limit larger motorhomes.

Fall through spring access varies significantly among parks, with most facilities closing by late October. Many sites feature gravel pads rather than concrete, and some visitors report needing leveling blocks. Sturbridge area RV parks typically require advance reservations, especially during foliage season when spaces fill quickly. Dump stations are available at most locations except Pine Lake, which offers full sewer connections instead. Cell reception can be problematic, particularly at Thousand Trails where one reviewer noted "really bad cell reception" despite the park's size. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most facilities, though breed restrictions may apply. Propane service is limited, with no on-site filling stations identified at these parks, requiring RVers to seek refills in nearby towns.

    Douglas Forest RV Resort

    Awesome Campground In The Forest

    We had an incredible stay at Douglas Forest RV Resort! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how peaceful and well-maintained everything was. The RV sites are spacious and easy to navigate, with full hookups and strong Wi-Fi— a big plus for us since we work remotely on the road. What really sets this place apart is the location. You’re literally steps away from Douglas State Forest, which made morning hikes and evening strolls absolutely magical. It’s pet-friendly too, and our dog loved the wooded trails and open areas. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the camp store had everything we needed. Even though the recreation area is still being built, the amenities already in place more than made up for it. We’re already planning our next trip for summer when the pool opens! If you’re looking for a relaxing spot that blends nature with convenience, look no further. Douglas Forest RV Resort is a true hidden gem!

    Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Sturbridge - [CLOSED}

    Pine lake , Sturbridge Ma.

    I’m told that this used to be Jellystone. 

    It’s now called Pine Lake Rv and cottages.

    Not knowing what the previous campground was like I can’t compare. But the new owners surely did a total revamp. There is approximately 30 cottages and many pull through and back in sites for any size RV.

    The bathroom/showers were all new and very nice and clean. It seems to be very family friendly. There’s an 8 acre lake with kayaks and fishing, a basketball court,   a game pavilion and a well stocked store. The RV sites are   spacious and pretty close to near perfect level.

    The problems I came across was there were very few places to dispose of camp trash, I had to actually walk around looking for one. The camp store doesn’t open until 9:00AM and closes at 4:00PM

     If you can, try and NOT stay on the back upper level ( the 700 ) spots. It’s around 100 feet from a very busy road and loud !

    Forest Lake Campgrounds

    Weekend stay, lots of seasonal camping

    Site was clean, easy to get in/out with 21' travel trailer. Swimming at the beach wasn't inviting. Lots of seasonal campers with years of lawn ornaments. There was a sense of the campground being clicky place. Pet friendly. Mixed emotions....

    Aces High RV Park

    Peaceful

    Well organized campground with both water front back in sites as well as large pull throughs. Pull through sites also have lots of space between them so you don't feel like you are on top of the neighbors. Sites and roads are a pea gravel material and each site has large grassy areas around it. It was a quiet area with ponds and creeks and a generally relaxing setting. It has a clean playground and well maintained pool as well as some walking paths, large grassy areas, pavilion and volleyball court. All sites but one (#67) are full hook up. Some seasonal sites but all were tasteful and not trashy looking. We enjoyed the shade trees on our site (#3) and noticed many sites had similar trees, but the owner keeps them trimmed to not interfere when parking on your site. There is also a creek area for dog swimming. Our two labs loved it! Local kayaking areas and about 30 min to Foxwoods Casino, even closer to Mohegan Sun. Mystic Seaport and Mystic Aquarium are also not too far. Nearby (5min drive) is also a fun looking place for mini golf. Will definitely be back!

    Wells State Park Campground

    Rustic but not for RVs

    Chose this spot to give us a rest on a trip to Canada (and again to go back to Maine to complete the vacation after we had truck trouble). Chose a pull-through to save time and effort. The first time we chose site 1 (pull through). This past weekend we chose site 38 (pull through).

    A few weeks ago when we visited, site 1 was close to the entry gate, but was very confusing as a pull through. I just backed the trailer in. The next morning we saw that the "pull through" had not been maintained in several seasons. Tree limbs and brush intruded on the driveway. There was no way to get a truck and trailer through that without damage.

    Yesterday we tried site 38. We had to take the camp road around the entire park, then enter the "loop" section. Even the "main" roads required my wife to watch as I cleared tree trunks; it was difficult to snake our little trailer around the bends. The driveway to site 38 was a mess. Tree limbs and brush invaded the drive, and there was nowhere level on the whole site. I used a record 9 blocks to get 4 levels high on the downhill wheel. When leaving we had to go out through the adjoining site, because there was no way we'd be able to make the turn out of the site onto the 10' wide tote road because of the trees.

    A surcharge which makes it $50/night for non-MA residents, plus, no dump station on site and $7 for four pieces of firewood (go to the Walmart 2 miles away instead) will have us skip this place in the future, even if it's in a convenient place.

    For those looking to vacation here. There was minimal cell phone coverage with Verizon. I could check messages but wouldn't try to stream. The highway is very loud (I-90 is across the lake). There are a lot of boggy areas and swamps which, although pretty, grew a lot of mosquitoes that kept my wife indoors. A lot of sites were fairly large and private. The beach area is close to the lower sites. Bathrooms and showers were tight and needed updating, but cleaned.


Guide to Monson Center

RV campgrounds near Monson Center, Massachusetts feature diverse terrain across 400-500 feet of elevation, with most camping areas situated among dense New England hardwood forests. Nighttime temperatures typically drop 15-20 degrees below daytime highs, even during summer months. Winter camping options remain limited with most facilities closing by late October except for Aces High RV Park which maintains year-round operations.

What to do

Kayaking on local ponds: Pine Lake RV Resort provides access to calm waters suitable for beginners and families with children. "Cool pond for paddle boats and canoeing! Family friendly," notes a visitor about Thousand Trails Sturbridge.

Wildlife management exploration: Sites near Camp Coldbrook Golf & RV Resorts connect to conservation areas. "Had we had more time I would have ventured into the adjacent wildlife management areas as well," mentions one reviewer who appreciated the natural setting.

Disc golf course access: Some Monson Center area campgrounds are developing additional recreational facilities. A camper at Wilderness Lake Park noted, "The host mentioned they were building a Disc Golf course on the property," providing an alternative activity for non-hikers.

What campers like

Private wooded sites: Tent campers particularly appreciate secluded spots away from RV areas. "The host gave us a secluded spot in the back to the point I didn't feel like I was at a campground other than the fire ring," shared a visitor to Wilderness Lake Park.

Free water recreation equipment: Some parks offer complimentary boats for guest use. "They even had free kayaks/canoes for the lake," reports a camper about Wilderness Lake Park, noting this unexpected amenity.

Dog-friendly swimming areas: Several parks provide dedicated pet swimming zones. "There is also a creek area for dog swimming. Our two labs loved it!" explains a visitor to Aces High RV Park, highlighting facilities beyond standard dog-walking areas.

What you should know

Cash payment requirements: Credit cards aren't universally accepted at all local campgrounds. "They are cash or check only!" warns a camper about Wilderness Lake Park, while another adds, "Heads up, they are cash or Venmo only so be prepared."

Bathroom facility limitations: Access to restrooms varies significantly between parks and camping sections. At Camp Coldbrook Golf & RV Resorts, "Bathrooms were clean and showers had nice hot water if you wanted it. No coin operation here!" but another campground notes "Bathrooms close by 10, something to keep in mind."

Cell reception challenges: Connectivity varies widely among Monson area campgrounds. "Camp link Wifi for a fee is workable unless you need to do zoom calls," reports one camper, indicating potential issues for remote workers.

Tips for camping with families

Playground quality assessment: Facilities for children vary significantly between parks. "The playground was a hit for our kids!" shares a visitor about Thousand Trails Sturbridge, though at another property, "the playground equipment shows its age."

Swimming options: Not all advertised swimming facilities may be operational during your visit. "The 'Olympic size pool' was not filled at the time but it did not effect our stay at all, there was a smaller pool for those who wanted to cool off," notes a Camp Coldbrook visitor.

Kid-friendly site selection: Request sites away from weekend crowds for quieter family experiences. A camper at Woodmore Family Campground observed, "Very quiet during the week, weekend is Party Time when the gang pulls in on Friday Night. Very loud until after 10:00 on Friday/Saturday."

Tips from RVers

Site surface considerations: Pad materials impact leveling and comfort. "Clean, well-maintained, and level site with concrete pad and patio (I love a clean, level concrete pad!)," raves a visitor about Aces High RV Park, contrasting with gravel sites common at other facilities.

Electrical reliability issues: Power stability varies between parks and affects larger rigs. At one campground near Monson Center, "The electrical system needs significant attention. Multiple RVs share single pedestals... Power fluctuations are common during warm weather, causing frequent breaker trips."

Big rig accessibility: Road configurations present challenges at some properties. "The road system requires maintenance - while some fresh gravel has been applied, many intersections remain challenging for larger trailers due to poor grading," notes an RVer about Douglas Forest RV Resort.
