Best RV Parks & Resorts near Northfield, MA
Travelers Woods of New England in Bernardston offers 50-amp electric hookups, water connections, and sewer service on level sites suitable for RVs of various sizes. Camp Coldbrook Golf & RV Resorts in Barre provides 30-amp service, full hookups, and operates from April through mid-October with spacious sites under mature trees. Thousand Trails Sturbridge features both 30 and 50-amp electric options with water and sewer connections, accommodating larger rigs on their drive-in sites from April to late October. The terrain at most parks consists of gravel pads with some seasonal sites featuring concrete foundations. "Sites are level but some definitely were not. We got twenty or so television channels with the cable hookup. The hookups were all well-placed and we didn't have any issues with the electric."
Several RV parks in the region require advance reservations, particularly during fall foliage season when availability becomes limited. Dump stations are available at most facilities, though Dorset RV Park and Field and Stream RV Park offer full hookup sites eliminating the need for separate dumping. Cell service varies significantly throughout the mountainous areas, with Verizon typically providing the most reliable coverage at 2-3 bars in most locations. Many parks remain open from May through mid-October, with winter camping options extremely limited. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard restrictions, and propane refill service is available at larger facilities like Sandy Beach Campground. One camper noted: "The roads and campsites are gravel and a little tight to get around because of all the trees but we were able to manage in our 45' motorhome."

TravelerYogi 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 !

RangerSpacious Skies French Pond
Comes with a surprise French Pond
The campground has a gravel area at the sites where the fire ring and picnic tables are. Where we parked our trailer was some gravel sand and dirt. We were at the end of a lane, backing in was fine we are small, 21 feet including tongue, we fit fine. Great site across from a beach, on French Pond I’m guessing is at least 25 acres. Most of the sights are long term. Camp was pretty much full, even then it was quiet. Restroom closed to covid, some campgrounds kept them open and just cleaned more. Well no complaint here we’re self contained. Some areas could use some tidying up. Still I would gladly stay here again.
Nancy W.LegendDorset RV Park
Decent campground in a good location
We thought this park was o.k.– nothing special but nothing bad but we really wanted to see the area since we were told the town of Dorset was so pretty. When we checked in, there was a sign that personnel were working in the park and there was a phone number for us to call. They responded right away and met us at the office and showed us where our site was.
The campground was clean and tidy with nice tall trees. The roads and campsites are gravel and a little tight to get around because of all the trees but we were able to manage in our 45’ motorhome. There were a scattering of amenities like a rec room with games, shuffleboard, playground, volleyball, horseshoes, laundry, and showers. There are community activities like bonfires, bingo, pot luck dinners, and complementary donuts& coffee every Sunday morning.
Our site was level but some definitely were not. We got twenty or so television channels with the cable hookup. The hookups were all well-placed and we didn’t have any issues with the electric and the wifi at our site worked well. We had a picnic table and fire pit. The sites next to us were not occupied which was nice because otherwise it would have felt a little tight. We did notice a bit of road noise when sitting outside. There are some really nice tent sites set away from the RV sites that sit under large trees and have nice space. The only drawback is they are farther away from the bathrooms.
Loved the area, the Green Mountains are beautiful so there is plenty of sightseeing to do. Dorset is a cute tiny town that is beautiful in the fall. The nearby town of Manchester is home to Orvis and there is an interesting fly fishing museum next door. Overall, the park was fine for us and we would stay again if we were in the area. We paid ($47/night) for our full hookup, 50-amp site.

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....
Guide to Northfield
Vermont's Green Mountains and southern New Hampshire's Monadnock region define the natural landscape around Northfield, Massachusetts. Nestled in the Connecticut River Valley at elevations ranging from 300-1600 feet, the area experiences distinct seasons with warm summers, cold winters, and colorful fall foliage. Most campgrounds near Northfield operate seasonally from May through mid-October, with minimal winter camping options available.
What to do
Hiking to waterfalls: Jamaica State Park Campground offers access to Hamilton Falls via a 3-mile trail from the campground. "There is plenty of trails in the area and you can go to the waterfall/rock slides and take a dip in the pools. The area is beautiful and good food across the street!" notes Jackie G.
Mountain climbing: Gilson Pond Area Campground serves as a base camp for hiking Mount Monadnock, a prominent 3,165-foot peak. One visitor advises: "First tip, camp at Gilson Pond Campground the night before so you can get up early to beat the heat, if that applies, and the crowds."
Lake recreation: Sandy Beach Campground offers water activities on their sandy beach. "Sandy beach by the water has plenty of room to relax out in the sun as well as launch areas to set out in a paddle boat, canoe or row boat, all available on site," shares Robert M.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Hidden Acres Camping Resort (now Kampfires) receives consistent praise for maintenance. "The bathrooms are beautifully redone and clean. The laundry room is pretty good too," notes camper Sammii D.
Level sites: Many RV campgrounds near Northfield, Massachusetts feature flat camping areas. At Dorset RV Park, "Our site was level but some definitely were not," mentions a reviewer, highlighting the importance of site selection.
Privacy between sites: Jamaica State Park Campground offers wooded campsites with good separation. Chris D. notes, "Our tent site was very spacious, you could of easily accommodated a family of four with a large tent. Some sites, however, were a little close together, so if you're looking for total privacy choose your site wisely."
What you should know
Limited cell service: Just like the mountainous areas mentioned in the existing description, connectivity remains challenging throughout the region. At Hidden Acres, one camper mentions the convenience of being able to receive packages—important when staying connected is difficult.
Weather considerations: Be prepared for mud and insects during rainy periods. One camper at Monadnock State Park warns, "This is one of the quietest and most peaceful campgrounds I've ever stayed at. The sites are super private, the rangers are friendly, and the mosquitoes are ferocious."
Wildlife awareness: Kampfires (formerly Hidden Acres) has reported bear activity. "SURPRISE- when I went to hook up the water, a pile of fresh bear scat was right there! They did say there was wildlife in the area!" reports Ralph L.
Tips for camping with families
Playgrounds and activities: Woodmore Family Campground offers numerous recreation options. Tara K. states, "We had a wonderful time tent camping. The grounds were beautiful and the sites were a good size."
Swimming options: Many campgrounds feature swimming areas for children. At Jamaica State Park, Meike W. shares, "For us, they also had a playground to play at, and a boat dock to kayak. The bugs were not fun in the summer."
Look for ice cream: Dorset RV Park is near local treats. One camper mentions, "Loved the area, the Green Mountains are beautiful so there is plenty of sightseeing to do. Dorset is a cute tiny town that is beautiful in the fall."
Tips from RVers
Site selection: When choosing RV campgrounds near Northfield, Massachusetts, consider tree clearance. At Dorset RV Park, Katie E. cautions, "Larger rigs might want to avoid loop 6-14, especially for sites 8-12. Tree placement and a pretty sharp 110+ degree turn makes it challenging to maneuver."
Electrical systems: Check voltage protection for your rig. At Camp Coldbrook Golf & RV Resorts, Glenn M. warns, "The electrical system has claimed countless rv components and 2 total losses. Instead of fixing it, they simply run generators for years. If you go take every precaution from the electrical."
Seasonal considerations: Field and Stream RV Park offers year-round camping for winter adventurers. "They offer all year round camping. Great site right next to the water. Sites are clean and well equipped," reports Jeanine S.
