"We stayed in the cabins and they were clean, and we liked our proximity to the pool."
"I’m more of a quite, in-the-middle-of-nowhere kind of camper, so I tend to shy away from commercial campgrounds, but it was easier for me to commute from the KOA than from home when work was crazy because"
"They also have a great pool, playground and pond for fishing. They also have a nice little store and snack bar. There is also a mini golf course and a mining area where kids can “mine” “gems”."
"It looked like the sites were close together, but I was there before there were leaves on the trees and could see how there would be more privacy once they filled out."
"Very chilled and secluded in your own site. I liked that it felt like a litrle community but still quotr private. They provide ice and firewood which is cool."
"I am an experienced camper and left no trace of food anywhere near my tent, fire or picnic table. The bears did not bother me."

ScoutThis is a nice family friendly campground that makes for easy trips. There are a variety of sites available, from open field sites to more wooded and private areas. The campground also has a lake for swimming,trails for hiking, and some nice quiet areas for fishing. Well maintained bathrooms, with available showers, are also spread throughout the grounds. Not pet friendly unfortunately.
GuideThis campground overall was pretty good. It is a larger campground, with large sites. Within the campground there are also restrooms available, showers and water. I would advise to bring your own water, because the running water they provide doesn't taste the best and smells like rotten eggs. Just my opinion. The campsites also have a fire ring pit and a picnic table, which was nice for my large family. It wasn't too busy when we went- we got there on a Friday night around 6pm and were able to get a spot. There are also some fun activities within the campground, and things nearby. There are some good hiking and biking trails. My family and I went on a hike one morning, and my brothers enjoyed riding their bikes along the path. There is a restaurant near by that plays live music. The night we went, it was country music. Not sure how often they do this, or if the music changes. They do also have cabins you can rent, but we enjoyed the camping experience. We were in section C, spot 85. It was a pretty good, private spot. The campground was pretty clean, although we did see some trash throughout the campground that we picked up as we walked by it.
ScoutGrounds well kept. Shaded sites. Quiet areas in lower roads with mostly seasonal. Reasonable cost. 30 amp only. Many full hookups. Pet friendly.
LegendFinally ventured out for a camping trip in this curious season and was delighted to find Bonnie Brae Campground in the Berkshires. It's a compact,clean campground tucked at the end of a quiet neighborhood street, within walking distance to a lake. Many of the RV site are occupied by seasonal campers, and the sites are well-kept. Some of the sites have platforms. This side of the campground was quiet most of the time. The tent and cabin loop circle around the pool area and although you could hear more conversation and noise from this section, everyone was respectful of quiet hours. They also offer a number of cabins for rent with AC and small refrigerator, but no bathrooms. The bathrooms are small, but very clean. They wouldn't meet ADA standards, but there are no drips, stains, or dirt and they seem to check in a couple of times a day to clean up if needed. The pool is now open (delayed this year due to COVID-19) and the kids in particular enjoyed it. You can add a firewood purchase to your reservation and they'll deliver it to your site.
I was in site 28 with a teardrop camper. I could have used leveling blocks because it was hard to find a great spot that was level side to side. Sites 27 & 29 each seemed a little more level and 29 was larger.
Pontoosuc Lake is a short walk away; there are boat rentals available and I saw a number of people fishing from Pontoosuc Park just above the dam. There's a rail trail nearby and Mt Greylock State Reservation offers numerous hiking opportunities 11 miles to the north.
GuideWe took our new to us hybrid camper out for its inaugural trip.
We chose to stay in the wooded loop of the campground and we were very happy with our site, #66. That section has about 12 sites, some big and some on the smaller side. Our site was easy to back into, even more so since no one was in the site across from us. Our site was very spacious, level and included a picnic table, fire ring, and nicely placed hookups for water and electric. We had easy access to trails that went along the river behind some of the sites with a few paths down to the river.
Everyone we encountered was friendly and respectful. There are quiet hours from 10pm-8am that are enforced. We were grateful to not have to hear loud partying going on into the night. There was car noise from nearby Rt 10 on the other side of the river, but nothing you can do about that.
We asked for assistance at the office with our first time using a pumping station at the end of the trip. We were given friendly helpful assistance and some great tips and advice for the future.
This was a nice enjoyable first visit for us. We will definitely be adding it to our list of places to visit again, but likely later in the year when we can enjoy the river and activities a bit more. We did not explore the options for bike, kayak, and canoe rentals but would like to in the future.
GuideWe stayed at site 85 in Sunny Crest and liked having some privacy. The sites nearby had some trees providing space between each site. A lot of the sites we drove by were pretty sloped- I would recommend a drive though if you can beforehand.
The picnic table was chained down so there weren’t many options to set up having the fire pit and picnic table where they were.
Hiking trails were nice, good variety of easier and more difficult terrain.
ScoutI thought I read someplace that there is new ownership, at any rate the folks there were very nice. And the place lives up to its name. We’re not fond of RV parking lots and the sites were well spaced which gets it many extra points. We had a popup in a drive-through site at the bottom of the hill which was fine, though pretty muddy after a day of rain. With that hill there’s no place for larger RVs here unless they were to decide to use the field at the bottom. As far as infrastructure a lot of what is here is very old and dated, sometimes to the point of being comical, but it does appear some updates are happening. Bathroom building is decent and kept very clean (though it would be nice if any of the door latches on the women’s toilets worked.) It appears they have built or rebuilt some cabins. Hiking up and down the hill to the bathroom does get old and there is really no place to park there like most places have without blocking the road. Can squeeze in one car near the (ancient and yucky cold water) dishwashing station. There is a tiny campsite with cabin on the road below it, with a firepit and table like a foot away from the road. Maybe they should eliminate that site to make parking for a couple cars at least, as its a terrible campsite probably the only bad one there. (One night that site had 2 cars, with one blocking the road when we tried to drive past - they should have made the extra car stay down in the lot.) People moved their car a bit, but still had to drive very close to their bonfire. Like much of the area, there is essentially no cell coverage here. An area with wifi would be an excellent upgrade. I know, you’re camping, but sometimes you just need to do something, make a restaurant reservation, or check the weather.
Update- I just found and read an article about the change of ownership. Showed a picture of a recreation room. Where the heck was that? In the building labeled “the Barn?” Which I thought was an actual barn and off limits. The dyrt says there is wifi, maybe it was there? Would have been nice to know about.
TravelerThis campground was great. Quiet, great fire pits, clean bathrooms, firewood and starter for sale plus access to day use area. The lake next to the campground is beautiful and has plenty of picnic tables and grills for use. Close to hiking trails and the city of Bennington.
TravelerFairly large campground. Tent sites available but mostly RV/Campers. WiFi in common areas isn’t great so if you’re planning on working during some down time, this isn’t the place. Nice hiking around the area. Bathrooms are clean. Good for kids/families.

The area sits at the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains with elevations ranging from 400 to 1,200 feet, creating diverse terrain for outdoor activities. Fall temperatures typically drop below 40°F at night from late September, making cabin accommodations particularly valuable during shoulder seasons.
Hiking at Mohawk Trail State Forest: Access trails directly from the campground with routes that follow Cold River. "There are many hiking trails that start right here!" noted one visitor to Mohawk Trail State Forest Campground. Several trails connect to longer systems including paths suitable for beginners and more challenging routes.
Fishing opportunities: The area offers multiple fishing spots within short distances of cabin sites. At Prospect Mountain Campground, "The sites on the water looked nice" according to one camper, while another mentioned that "The kids had a blast fishing and riding their bikes around." The pond at Prospect Mountain is stocked seasonally.
Fall foliage viewing: October provides peak colors in the Southampton region. "We went to this campground during fall foliage time. Very peaceful and very great staff. They had hayless rides and fire truck rides," reports a visitor to Northampton/Springfield KOA, making cabins an ideal base for autumn exploration.
Unique accommodations: The caboose at Chester Railway Station offers a distinctive experience. "It is a really fun place to spend a night, especially for a train enthusiast. The caboose is stationed on a big grassy field, near a real railroad. It sleeps 4 and you can set up tents outside too," according to one reviewer.
Family activities: Many sites organize regular weekend events. At Country Aire Campgrounds, visitors appreciate that "This campground is family oriented. They have a pool they have games we even have a hayride pulled by a tractor." Another camper noted, "Great playground, pool and pirate ship."
Clean facilities: Many campers specifically mention facility maintenance. At Prospect Mountain Campground, visitors found that "The grounds were absolutely beautiful and very well maintained! Pool was lovely and refreshing." When arriving at one site, a camper noted, "our site was even raked clean."
Seasonal operations: Most cabins in the area close by mid-October. October Mountain State Forest operates from "mid May to mid October," while Country Aire Campgrounds runs "May 1 to Oct 31," making advance planning essential for fall visits.
Bear awareness: Several forested campgrounds require proper food storage. At Mohawk Trail State Forest Campground, "Every site has a bear box to keep anything edible" and another camper advised, "There are lots of black bears so keeping food in the near lockers or locked in the car at all times is a must!"
Connectivity limitations: Cell service varies significantly across the region. One camper at Mohawk Trail State Forest noted you should "Don't count on phone service," while others appreciated the digital detachment as "the hike-in sites were also close together, 22 is the most private."
Water recreation options: Swimming facilities provide relief during summer months. At White Pines Campsites, "The Gaga ball pit was great. The pool was nice, although, no seating due to covid." Consider cabins near water features for built-in entertainment.
Wildlife viewing: Many cabins offer opportunities to spot local wildlife. "We and several other neighboring campers spied a pretty big black bear not far enough away in the late morning hours," reported one visitor at White Pines Campsites, suggesting morning activities might include nature observation from cabin porches.
Bathroom proximity: Consider cabin location relative to facilities when booking with children. One camper at Mohawk Trail State Forest advised, "Avoid any site next to the bathroom as the lights stay on all night and will shine directly into your tent." Sites with private bathrooms eliminate nighttime walks.
Hookup variations: Available utilities differ between cabin sites. At Austin Hawes Memorial Campground, "The sites are nice and large, with room for trailers, and they also have a few cabin sites as well." Another visitor noted, "We stayed right on the river side, No hook up, but they have a dump station."
Seasonal cabin selection: RV travelers seeking to transition to cabins should consider seasonal factors. "We were able to book site 112 at the last minute and the staff waited for us to arrive," noted one camper, though experiences vary significantly between peak and shoulder seasons.
Access considerations: Cabin locations may present challenges for larger vehicles. At Northampton/Springfield KOA, one camper reported, "We had requested a specific site on the KOA website, the gentleman in the front office had arranged for us to park in an easily accessible pull-through site, right at the entrance."
