3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks near Wendell Depot offer varying levels of accommodation for recreational vehicles. Camp Coldbrook Golf & RV Resorts in Barre operates from April 15 to October 15 with electric hookups, thirty-amp service, sewer, and water connections. Thousand Trails Sturbridge provides fifty-amp electrical service and full hookups on sites accommodating larger vehicles through late October. Douglas Forest RV Resort maintains 90 sites with pull-through options for big rigs, featuring both thirty and fifty-amp electrical connections. Lake Dennison Recreation Area Campground includes electric hookups but has more limited site dimensions, primarily designed for smaller RVs. "The sites are level and a decent size with a picnic table, fire pit, shaded by the tall pines."
During peak season from May through October, campgrounds in the region fill quickly, particularly on weekends. The electrical systems at some facilities have proven problematic, with one review noting: "The electrical system has claimed countless RV components and 2 total losses. Instead of fixing it, they simply run generators for years." Most parks provide sanitary dump stations, though availability of other amenities varies considerably. Cell service can be spotty in more remote locations, particularly at campgrounds nestled in wooded areas. Pet policies generally allow dogs on leash, but specific restrictions may apply. Travelers with larger motorhomes should call ahead to confirm access roads can accommodate their vehicle dimensions, as some campgrounds have narrow entrance roads with tight turns.

TravelerBeautiful place about an hour from Salem Boston and Plymouth. Be careful getting in Sharp Hill coming up and down lots of scrapes on the ground tight navigation through sites lots of beautiful trees.
ScoutIt was dark. I arrived after 7p. There were 3 rv camps already going on. All 3 had camp fires. Many fire rings for many groups. No hassles at all. It's off the beaten path but worth it. The first 4 camp sites were open. Made a fire. Ate some food. I got a good night sleep. Nothing ate me or attacked me so that's 5 star in my book.
TravelerNice and peaceful spot with a trail that leads to a brook in the woods! Beautiful fall leaves throughout property
GuideLet me just preface this review by saying when I go camping, I like to be immersed in nature– ideally with a toilet and shower nearby. These are my only desires. This is not that kind of campsite. But just because it isn’t for me, that doesn’t mean it won’t be for you.
Pros:
- Easy to book and accommodating staff.
- Restrooms/showers were clean(though the air fresheners are not migraine sufferer-friendly).
- Nice, tall trees.
Cons:
- My only real con is the general vibe. Again, it’s just not for me. It has lots of activities for kids (an arcade, park, pool, etc.), so if that’s what you’re looking for, great! It just wasn’t what I personally was looking for. But with limited camping options in the area, it was our only real choice.
TravelerLove this place. We were the only ones there during a weekday visit in October. It’s incredibly peaceful with wooded sites and the lake is just gorgeous with the fall foliage. Bonus that they deliver firewood to the campsite. My only wish and I wouldn’t knock a star off because we were literally the only ones there is I wish they didn’t lock the showers. I would have loved to have a shower but the office was closed and I wasn’t able to find anyone to unlock a shower. Just be prepared and bring your dude wipes 🤣 Other than that amazing place.
TravelerLots of beautiful spots to pick from but be careful some are a bit muddy. We brought our school bus down the dirt road just fine and backed right in. They also have fireplaces which was nice!
GuideWonderful owners. A variety of sites to choose from in a relaxing setting. No waste hookups here, but they have a dump station. $51 per night with cash.
TravelerLaundry is clean, bathrooms are clean and showers are hot. Pool, dishwashing station, sometimes quite sometimes very active. Love this place! Wish it was open year round!
TravelerGreat little campground in Berkshire County. Mostly suited for tent camping or small RVs, although there are definitely sites for RVs to use. Call to get an idea of what’s available if you do plan on bringing your RV. The facilities were clean and the trails well marked.
RV camping near Wendell Depot, Massachusetts is centrally located in the state's north-central region at approximately 800 feet elevation. The area experiences distinct seasonal changes with peak camping season running from May through mid-October when temperatures average 65-80°F during summer months. Most campsites in the region close for winter by late October due to freezing temperatures and snow conditions.
Hiking trails: Lake Dennison Recreation Area offers extensive trail networks connecting directly to campsite areas. "Great hiking right from the campsites," notes camper Alan, who visited in August. "The lake is clean and the beach is clean and soft(ish)."
Water recreation: Jamaica State Park provides river access with opportunities for seasonal white water adventures. "In the Spring the water is released behind Ball Dam, creating a white water adventure. The prime lean-to sites on the water are beautiful and spacious," shares reviewer M.A.D. P.
Fishing opportunities: Many campgrounds maintain catch-and-release ponds and stream access. "We stayed right on the pond, so the kids could fish whenever," mentions Richard W. about his experience at Spacious Skies Seven Maples. "Lots of hiking trails (the dogs loved it). Can't wait to come back next year and explore the lake along the hike."
Spacious sites: Campers frequently mention adequate spacing between sites as a major plus. "The sites on the North side are spacious & quiet," notes Bonnie B. about her stay at Lake Dennison Recreation Area Campground. "The lake is perfect for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. There are ample trails for hiking and kids can ride their bikes."
Lake swimming access: Natural swimming options prove popular during summer months. "Nice quiet place for all the sites," writes Eric LeBoeuf about Lake Dennison. "Showers could be better bathrooms were clean but out dated."
Pet-friendly options: Most campgrounds in the region welcome pets with leash requirements. A visitor to Jamaica State Park Campground noted, "Clean well kept level areas! Staff was friendly! Great hiking or biking along the West River!"
Weather considerations: Seasonal storms can impact camping experiences. Bobcat B. shared about their stay at Woodmore Family Campground and RV Park: "2nd hurricane Henri, flooded out all the low areas. Great place, but too many kids for us."
Campground noise levels: Sound carries between sites at many campgrounds. "Very quiet during the week, weekend is Party Time when the gang pulls in on Friday Night. Very loud until after 10:00 on Friday/Saturday," reports John L.
Bathroom conditions: Facilities vary widely across campgrounds. "Bathrooms are kept pretty clean. Campsites are large and are spaced well apart," explains Melissa L. about Lake Dennison. At Seven Maples, one reviewer noted: "Very clean restrooms no matter what time of day they were always clean and look newer."
Activity planning: Many campgrounds offer structured recreational options. "The pool is amazing for kids of all ages with water slides and a splash area," writes Erin M. about Spacious Skies Seven Maples. "There's no life guard or staff monitoring the pool area so it did get a little too crazy at times for my little ones. The playground is really big with plenty to do."
Site selection: Consider proximity to facilities when traveling with children. "We had an awesome stay at Seven Maples with our family of six and dog...We loved being next to the large field and basketball court where we watched the kids play without having to worry where they disappeared to."
Local attractions: Investigate nearby activities beyond the campground. "Highly suggest checking out Tenney Farm nearby for fresh produce and treats," recommends Alison S. about their family camping experience.
Electrical system reliability: Power access varies by campground. "Had issues with 30 amp service at site was not providing enough power, could not run all my campers amenities While my 20 amp designated outlet at home runs my entire camper with no issue," reports Zachary W. about his RV camping experience at Douglas Forest RV Resort.
Site dimensions: Check campground specs before booking larger RVs. "The RV sites are spacious and easy to navigate, with full hookups and strong Wi-Fi," mentions Tye G. about Douglas Forest. "You're literally steps away from Douglas State Forest, which made morning hikes and evening strolls absolutely magical."
Off-season advantages: Consider camping outside peak summer periods. "Stayed for over a week off season, mid September," writes a reviewer about Woodmore Family Campground. "Major grocery store nearby along with Walmart."
