Best Campgrounds near Savoy, MA

631 Reviews

Camping near Savoy, Massachusetts centers around several state forests and parks in the western Berkshire Mountains. Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground serves as the primary developed camping area, with 45 sites accommodating tents, RVs, and cabins from mid-May through mid-October. Nearby Mount Greylock State Reservation and Mohawk Trail State Forest provide additional camping options within a 30-minute drive. The region features wooded campsites with access to ponds, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing opportunities. According to reviews, Savoy Mountain State Forest is particularly noted for its spacious sites with bear boxes at each location, as this is black bear country.

Most campgrounds in the Savoy area require reservations, with Massachusetts state parks charging significantly higher fees for out-of-state visitors. Cell service is limited or non-existent in many locations, particularly at Savoy Mountain State Forest, making it ideal for those looking to disconnect. Visitors should download maps and directions before arrival, as GPS navigation can be unreliable in this rural area. The camping season generally runs from late May through early October, with facilities closing during winter months due to harsh conditions. Fire rings are provided at most sites, and firewood is available for purchase at ranger stations to prevent the spread of invasive species.

The camping experience varies across the region, with some sites offering more privacy than others. Perimeter sites at Savoy Mountain typically provide full shade with crushed rock and dirt ground covering, while interior sites have less shade and grassy areas. North Pond offers peaceful swimming and recreation, though South Pond has been reported to have debris issues. Hiking opportunities abound, with direct access to the Mohawk Trail from the campground and the Appalachian Trail a short drive away. Mount Greylock, the highest point in Massachusetts, provides additional recreational opportunities with extensive trail networks accessible from nearby campgrounds.

    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.

What campers like

  • Privacy: Many campers appreciate the spacious sites. One reviewer at Woodford State Park Campground noted, "Our site was set back more than 2 car lengths from the road and is pretty well surrounded with trees so it feels very private."

  • Friendly staff: Many campgrounds have welcoming hosts. A camper at Emerald Lake State Park Campground shared, "Friendly employees. Beautiful lake with a nice trail."

What you should know

  • Limited cell service: Be prepared for spotty reception. A camper at Monadnock State Park Campground mentioned, "No cell/data service. I wish this were clearer on their website."
  • Bugs can be a nuisance: In some areas, bugs can be bothersome. One camper humorously noted, "The bugs… holy hell, the bugs" at Monadnock State Park Campground.
