Best RV Parks & Resorts near New Salem, MA
Several RV parks surround New Salem in central Massachusetts, with notable options including Camp Coldbrook Golf & RV Resorts in Barre and Thousand Trails Sturbridge approximately 25 miles south. Camp Coldbrook operates seasonally from April 15 to October 15, offering water, sewer, and electric hookups with 30-amp service. Pine Acres Family Camping Resort in Oakham provides 300 sites with full hookups including 50-amp electrical service and accommodates large RVs on spacious, level sites. "Sites are a decent size with a picnic table, fire pit, shaded by the tall pines," notes one reviewer about the camping experience in this region. Most RV sites throughout the area feature gravel pads with fire rings and picnic tables, though larger motorhomes may find limited options at older facilities.
Full hookup availability varies significantly between parks, with several locations offering sanitary dump stations even when individual site connections are limited. Cell service can be unreliable at campgrounds nestled in the densely forested areas, particularly at Otter River State Forest where reviews mention spotty connectivity. Pine Lake RV Resort in Sturbridge offers 230 sites with 50-amp hookups and accommodates big rigs with pull-through access, though one camper cautioned against staying in the upper level "700 spots" due to road noise. Many parks have seasonal restrictions, typically operating from May through October, with some larger resorts remaining open into late autumn to accommodate leaf-peeping travelers. Most facilities welcome pets with standard leash requirements, and firewood is typically available for purchase at campground stores.
