    Charlie Brown Campground

    Well run Campground

    WE come here every year with our group, RVing Women Northeast Network for our first rally of the season each year for a number of years,  The reason we come back is the way we are treated, because they have pavilions that have a campfires pit and the roof is made so it takes the smoke straight up out of the pavilion yet is protective of those under the roof from rain etc.  VERY enjoyable.  We all park around this Pavillon.  IT is well kept, kids are entertained by parents and fishing etc.  Parties are present but they have quiet hour and it seems to be obeyed.

    Treetopia Campground

    Amazing camping/Glamping!

    Treetopia is a unique and truly amazing camping/Glamping experience in the Catskills, New York! We were able to meet Betty, Treetopia’s manager, who toured us around the campground and took us into each type of rental they provide for that special camping trip. They have RV sites, yurts, custom furnished treehouses with electricity, beautiful tiny homes with outdoor living spaces, completely remodeled vintage airstreams, and gorgeous private cabins! Every unit was more beautiful and comfortable than the next. The backdrop for the campground is the wonderful Catskill Mountains and all of the nature that includes. A wonderfully inspiring place! 😊👍🏻

    If you have an RV, they have 30/50 amp with electric and water. There is no sewer, but they have a dump-station and on-site Honeywagon truck that you can schedule. They staff was wonderful and went out of their way to make our stay perfect! 💗

    Lake Taghkanic State Park Campground

    Great Spot!

    Big and spacious state park with many camping options. Has options for trailers, tent sites, platforms for tents and even some cabins. Small store in park that sells firewood and ice and a few other things you may need. Big lake with swimming and boating as well as many hiking trails. Bathrooms on site as well as showers. Some sites are close together, but there are a few a little more secluded and set back. Fire pits are great. Can’t wait to camp here again!

    Wilderness Lake Park

    Cute place

    My family and I stayed here a few years ago in the tent area. Not all sites are secluded, but we were the only ones so it was nice and private. At the time there was only one port-a-potty for the tent area we were in and no water source. It’s a dog friendly park which was good for us, our dog could swim in the lake with us. Cute patio overlooking the lake as well with seating. Wood delivery is awesome especially since tent area is a slight distance from office, but that is also a bonus so you’re away from the RV sites. Also price is reasonable for a private campground considering the rates a lot of other places charge.

    White Pines Campsites

    Could have been so much better

    Upon arrival, I liked the atmosphere and friendly service but our site was filthy. A bag of dog poop by a tree, trash under the picnic table, cigarette butts littering the rocks around the fire pit, and the pit was so full of ash, there was no more room for firewood. And as other reviewers stated, these sites aren’t the cheapest. I don’t normally complain but this was unacceptable in my opinion. I called the front desk and spoke with a very lovely person. She was mortified and said she’d send maintenance. No. One. Ever. Showed. Up. We waited an hour and then we just started cleaning it up ourselves so we could move on and get started on dinner.

    Our site was T3 and it was spacious and spread out from other tent sites. There was a tiny creek meandering behind the site and the woods just went on for miles. We felt grateful to be separated from the RVers and have so much space to ourselves.

    Night fell and the place turned into Margaritaville. The seasonal RVers have really taken over the place and while some have tasteful decor and lights, others not so much. Even 50 yards away from the RV section and I felt like I was in a dance club parking lot. The music was so loud. No one seemed to care. Nothing was enforced.

    Lastly, there was a lonely port-a-potty across the road from us along with a water spigot. There was trash all around the spigot that remained there throughout our stay (an entire roll of sopping wet toilet paper and an eyelash curler, guys), but the camp sanitation truck came once a day to empty that outhouse, which I never used based on the smell. If you have young kids that nap during the day, this truck would wake them. I walked the extra .2 miles to the bathhouse, which started out immaculate but quickly turned south with the sheer number of people using it. A cleaning log claimed it was tended to but it couldn’t have been true. Trash was endlessly overflowing and soap was running low.

    The loud music I could get over for the view but the uncleanliness was just annoying. What a simple thing to fix for your customers.

    Also beware of bears. We and several other neighboring campers spied a pretty big black bear not far enough away in the late morning hours. I’m sure they are fed well.

    Copake Falls Area — Taconic State Park

    Great Place for First Timers

    I went here with two of my coworkers for a relaxing weekend getaway. I'm use to the rough and tough it of backpacking the AT Trail so this place had quite a few amenities I am not use to! Haha. We stayed at a platform tent site and were able to park two vehicles on site but the grounds had plenty of parking not too far from the sites. Each of the sites had a large platform (enough room for one very large tent or 2-3 smaller tents), a fire pit, and picnic table. You are very close to your neighbor in this area but when we were there everyone was very respectful. There was potable water a short walking distance away as well as flushing toilets. There was a very large open grassy field for play/sports, a playground and life guarded portion of the lake for swimming. This location was very accesible to the Bish Bash Falls trail and even had a few side trails to explore. This place is very good for easing on first timers and there were quite a few children so those who are parents should consider this a great place to get kids involved in the outdoors as well. There were other accommodations such as RV hook ups, events, and rentals but we weren't there long enough to take adavatage of those. Overall a great experience and relatively cheap for what you get. I believe it was around $30 for two nights which was the minimum.

    Zoar Outdoor

    Campground with activities

    The campground is connected to an adventure/outing company that provides white water rafting, tubing and other water activities on a nearby river. It’s close to where locals jump off outcrops into the lazy river and hang out on the river side. They don’t allow fired at the campsites though which is annoying and their quiet hours are quite oppressive.

    Foolhardy Hill

    Spotless, Well equiped, Friendly, Quiet

    Foolhardy Hill is the nicest facility that I have ever "Camped". I used quotes, because this is NOT a "roughing it" Campground. Katie and Biddy, the host/owners, are the nicest and most accommodating. This "off the grid" place is convenient, comfortable, spotless clean and I would HIGHLY recommend a stay. I would also recommend renting the entire facility for a family reunion, off site business meeting, fishing club meeting, or just a place to meet up with a bunch of old friends... The bathrooms are clean and the showers are HOT. The pavilion provides a meeting place for groups to maybe discuss the day's catch, the one that got away, or just to meet new friends. The pavilion also has everything you will need for grilling, flat top cooking and 2+ gas burners. 

    I was here for fishing. Foolhardy is located centrally for the best the Deerfield River has to offer. 

    Pets welcome, but leave the little ones at home (unless renting the entire facility). 

    If I have to leave just ONE negative comment; after the shower, the mirror above the sink was VERY fogged! (Did i mention, the showers are HOT!) :-D

    Lake Waramaug State Park Campground

    A very tired campground. Full of problems and inconsistencies.

    This campground changed in the last few years, but not for the better. It is apparent that the manager does not like campers. If you have a tent, you are treated ok, until you violate one of their endless rules. Then they have the police escort you out.. If you have a pop-up or anything above the ground on wheels they make your life miserable and prevent you from camping in the front row where the sites are larger, level, and have a lake view. Bathrooms are dirty and uncared for, toilet paper is non-existent in the afternoon. Alcohol is not allowed but is poorly enforced. Quiet hours are not enforced. Two cars per site is not enforced. Loud Boomboxes are the norm. People using the lakeside state park walk through your campsite to go use the campground bathroom and showers - hence the toilet paper issue in the bathroom. Unfortunately, some of those day picnickers think your stuff is free for the taking. NEVER LEAVE YOUR STUFF UNGUARDED. The numerous skunks are an unwelcomed camp amenity. Watch your children, cars go racing through the campground! If you are looking for stress free and peaceful, this is not the place. It is party central on the weekends.The staff leaves at random times, either 3 pm, 5 pm or 9 pm and then you are on your own. But don't worry, there is a sometimes functioning emergency phone outside the camp office. Oh yes, and there is no cell service in that area. Have fun. But I'm not going back. Are you sure you want to camp here?


Guide to Tolland

Glamping sites near Tolland, Massachusetts offer access to the southern Berkshire Mountains at elevations ranging from 1,200-1,800 feet. The region experiences four distinct seasons with fall foliage typically peaking in mid-October. Summer daytime temperatures average in the 70s-80s°F, with cooler nights dropping to the 50s-60s°F, making campfire evenings comfortable.

What to do

Hiking nearby trails: October Mountain State Forest features multiple trail options for all skill levels. "Great trail system starts right at the edge of the campground also. Great over all experience for this first timer," shares one visitor to October Mountain State Forest Campground. Another camper notes you "have to check out the marsh trail it is absolutely stunning."

Water recreation: Lake Taghkanic State Park offers swimming and boating opportunities. A camper at Lake Taghkanic State Park Campground mentions "The lake is beautiful and clean. Expect to pay $15 fee to use your paddleboards/kayaks etc. Worth every penny." Another adds, "Two lifeguarded swimming areas—a kiddie pool and a deep area with floating dock to jump off of."

Seasonal events: Many campgrounds coordinate activities aligned with the season. At Prospect Mountain Campground, kids can participate in gem mining experiences. "Kids can 'mine' 'gems'. Kids had a blast!" according to visitor Sandra S. Some locations also offer Halloween-themed attractions in fall, with one Bear Creek camper noting "they had a haunted house walk through."

What campers like

Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and showers rank high with glampers. A visitor to Bear Creek Campground at Lake Compounce noted, "Restrooms are clean and spacious. Showers are great. Whoever planned this campground is/was a camper." Another mentioned the "clean bathrooms and modern showers, nice friendly helpful staff."

Family programming: Scheduled activities keep children engaged throughout stays. At Lone Oak Campsites, a camper shared, "There's a full bar with adult only dancing upstairs in the lounge Saturday nights, and a DJ playing dance music for the younger crowd downstairs." Another visitor appreciated that there are "tons of kids activities going on all day."

Proximity to cultural attractions: The glamping sites offer easy access to Berkshire region highlights. Spacious Skies Woodland Hills provides "so many places to hike and the best of the Berkshires so close by," according to one visitor. Another camper observed that their glamping stay offered "access to the Berkshires' cultural attractions."

What you should know

Seasonal operations: Most glamping options have limited operational seasons. The Lake Taghkanic camping season runs "May 6 to October 15" while October Mountain State Forest operates "mid May to mid October." Northampton/Springfield KOA opens from "April 19 to October 31."

Booking requirements: Reservations are essential, particularly for premium accommodations. According to one Spacious Skies Woodland Hills visitor, "We rented a rustic campsite for a long weekend and it was way better than expected." Plan ahead as glamping sites book quickly during peak season.

Site privacy varies: Some glamping locations offer more seclusion than others. One camper noted, "We had a back in site and was having problems with my camper, and they were able to change to a pull through at time of check in." Site selection impacts your experience, with some offering "very visible and a few are tucked away into the woods with privacy."

Tips for camping with families

Activity planning: Schedule around organized events at family-friendly campgrounds. "Lone Oak Campsites is large and has a variety of sites to choose from," shares one camper at Northampton/Springfield KOA. They "have a fire truck ride that brings you around the campsite and hay-less rides. There is a pool, there is a playground, there are games of all ages."

Pack entertainment: Bring outdoor games and activities for downtime between scheduled events. "Bring scooters or bikes for little kids to use within the camp," recommends one Lake Waramaug camper. Swimming areas often have limited capacity, so alternative activities keep children engaged.

Weather preparation: Pack for temperature fluctuations common in the Berkshire region. A White Pines visitor noted, "We camped here with a group of friends—about a dozen in all. It was easy to coordinate with the staff to get a few tent sites and a cabin in close distance." Having accommodation options helps manage unexpected weather changes.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Choose sites based on specific needs and vehicle size. At White Pines Campsites, a camper recommends, "A lot of the sites we drove by were pretty sloped—I would recommend a drive through if you can beforehand." Another RVer mentioned, "The sites are long so even though you face your neighbor, the sites were long enough that our door wasn't directly across from our neighbor."

Utility considerations: Check hookup availability before booking. One visitor noted, "None of the sites have sewer, but there is a dump station on the way out." Another mentioned, "We had water and a 15 amp power box at our site and it was great for a tent but not for anything else."

Access challenges: Some glamping areas have narrow, steep access roads. "The terrain is uneven. Hit and miss on how flat or level sights are," reports one RVer. Another mentioned, "Although sites are squeezed in, it is a nice family campground. However, the site I had was steep grade from steps to picnic table."
