Best Campgrounds near North Hatfield, MA

669 Reviews

Campgrounds near North Hatfield, Massachusetts range from established state parks to private facilities, with options for tent camping, RV sites, and cabin rentals. The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) State Forest Campground in Williamsburg provides tent and RV sites with electric hookups and shower facilities. Approximately 15 miles west, the Northampton/Springfield KOA in Westhampton offers more amenities including cabins and glamping options. White Birch Campground in Whately, just a few miles from North Hatfield, features tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals with various amenities including drinking water and electric hookups.

Many campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, typically from May through October, with limited winter availability. Road access varies by location, with most established campgrounds accessible by standard vehicles. A camper noted, "This is a great campground located in Sturbridge, Massachusetts on walker pond. Brand new bathroom/shower facility this year. Offers hiking, biking, swimming, fishing. Nice and quiet also." Cell service can be spotty in more remote areas, particularly in state forests. Weather conditions in western Massachusetts include warm summers and cold winters with significant snowfall, making spring through fall the primary camping season. Most campgrounds require advance reservations, especially during summer weekends and holidays.

Campers report high satisfaction with sites that offer water access and recreational opportunities. Several state forest campgrounds provide hiking trails directly accessible from campsites. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, visitors appreciate the natural settings and relative quiet of many campgrounds in the region. One reviewer mentioned, "The campsite was peaceful and quiet and mostly tucked into the hillside." Amenities vary widely between locations, with state parks typically offering more basic facilities while private campgrounds provide additional services like laundry, markets, and recreational activities. Campgrounds closer to the Berkshires tend to have more scenic views and hiking opportunities, while those near the Connecticut River Valley offer water recreation options. Fire regulations and pet policies differ between locations, with most allowing campfires in designated rings and permitting leashed pets.

    Grout Pond Campground — Green Mountain & Finger Lakes National Forests

    Grout Pond Loop

    Camping Grout Pond Loop is truly nice after Labor Day (Sept 5-7). Campsites 15 & 16 offer pull-out space to turn around truck campers --we lucked out w/ 4 wheel camper pop-up). Over hanging trees would make it difficult for larger equipment, plus saw posting that excludes trailers from certain roads. We reserved well in advance; however many fellow campers were trying to find first come sites and ended up hiking in to camp around pond sites. Sites are in eye-site of each other but you don't feel crowded. Temps during day around 65-70 F. Nights dipped to 45-55F.
    We saw deer & turkeys driving the surrounding woods after short hikes.
    We love chatting w locals and learned of a special shrine that was faithfully built from stone to resemble original in modern day Turkey. What a special & serene place.

    Statton Pond Camp on Forest Road 71

    Large Area with Fire Pit in the middle

    This was a great site.  I couldn't believe that the site was not being used at all, especially the just a couple of days before Fourth of July weekend.  Many other sites further south on 71 were filled and some were just TTs holding the space for the upcoming weekend.

    The site was very flat and could accommodate several small campers.  It was quiet during our overnight stay other than a car or two on Stratton-Arlington Rd.  There weren't many mosquitoes either.  Hiking trail to Stratton Pond close by.

    Fort Dummer State Park Campground

    Not So Bad

    We spent one night at site #20 and enjoyed our stay.  It was rather peaceful other than the hum of I-91. The staff was friendly and helpful. The sites were generally wooded, pretty level, and fairly spread apart from one another.  I saw no signs of the problems identified in the June 2025 review.  Yes, I must agree that the restrooms are old, but they were clean.  The other problems might happen anywhere and were obviously brought under control.  Clearly, the writer of the June 2025 post knew way more than any weekend camper would be aware of and this shows that is more to their story that should have been revealed in their post.

    Tolland State Forest Campground

    Great Lakeside Campground

    This was only my second camping trip ever (and first tent camping) so grain of salt here - We had a great time at Tolland. The site was spacious and equipped with a bear box, fire ring, and picnic table. The ground at the site was large gravel which was not great in the tent, but walking around it looks like most sites are more dirt and pine needles.

    The swimming area is small but sandy, great for kids, and my daughter loved thethe campfire and nature talk given on Saturday night by park staff.

    Lake Dennison Recreation Area Campground

    Really pretty and chill

    This campground is pretty and offers many private site options. We didn't use the bathrooms so can't speak on that. But overall it's a clean campground.

    There are two loops. The loop closer to the entrance has a lot of private sites. Although if you have one closer to the main road, it is quite noisy with road sounds. But many of the sites in the middle are more quiet. The sites by the lake are really pretty, but there's not much privacy. All of the sites are good size and the fire pits are placed well.

    The other loop farther away from the entrance has a lot more lakeside sites. But there's very little privacy. The sites with higher numbers by the lake are all on top of each other with little to no trees or shrubs between sites, and you can't really decipher where one site ends and the next begins. We would not stay on that loop if we visited again. Unless it was site 101 which seemed more private for that loop.

    Sites 1 through 5 on the first loop are pretty quiet and peaceful. We stayed at site 4 and we think that it was one of the best sites in the campground. We didn't have neighbors on either side of us. We only had neighbors across from us. The site was spacious , peaceful and pretty. There was a little trail from our site that went down to a marsh. That was absolutely beautiful.

    We will definitely stay here again.
