    Zoar Outdoor

    Nice and would like to visit again but not within 12 hours-BOO

    I’m writing this mid-October from western MA. In between homes and looked forward to staying another night, but can not because of a 12 hour advance policy. There were plenty of tent sites available last night. Not a happy camper.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Nice ‘n Easy campground

    We stayed for 3 days off season so not busy. Sites located along the river are wooded, field sites are very open great for seeing the stars at night. Sites have fire rings with excellent airflow for good burning with low smoke. Hook ups are in great condition for power, water, sewer. Showers and bath house on site. Laundry and game room at office area. Office staff was very helpful and they’re open later into the day til 7 PM. Good firewood and large bundle delivered for $15 to your site. We passed over this site on our first trip to the area but are glad we came here and we’re planning to return. Follow the website directions to get here as there are covered bridges in the area with low Clearance and low weight limits.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Another great trip to Ashuelot River Campground

    We spent another great weekend at the Ashuelot River Campground. We recently purchased a new-to-us camper and wanted to get in a trip or two before putting it away for the winter. This was our 2nd visit to Ashuelot.

    We were in site 59, a pull-through with water and 30/50 amp service. The site was level and easy to get into and park. We were in a fully wooded area on the left side of the campground, which we prefer. They have sites located in fully open areas, as well as some that are partially wooded and have river access. There is a nice mix.

    Having good weather, we took a lazy tube ride from one side of the campground to the other. It has been quite dry in the area, so they are experiencing a drought. However, a little rain in the week got the river moving a bit. We were able to enjoy a nice, slow drift around the campground.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time again and will definitely be back.

    Mount Misery Campground

    Lived up to its name

    Sites/facilities were as expected and I could have been very satisfied with our 1 night stay.  There are a lot of rules for camping here, which is confusing because there does not appear to be anyone to enforce them.  Late arrivals? Noise? I suspect that the couple who pulled into the site next to ours after 10PM with two cars and an infant are homeless and poached the site.  They were not there for the hiking or the camping experience and their infant child screamed or babbled through most of the night.  That plus the adults talking, car doors opening and closing, engine running, baby einstein videos playing...  In the morning they packed up and left.  I'm not an advocate of criminalizing homelessness, but if you are looking for a night in the woods listening to crickets and owls, this is not the place.

    Very quiet. At night all you can hear is the crackling of the campfire.

    Woodmore Family Campground and RV Park

    Good Campground

    Stayed for over a week off season , mid September. 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. 50 percent or more is seasonal camp sites. Sites in back are ok with trees and different levels. Sites are a little closer than I usually find. Neighbors are very considerate on site privacy. Owners are exceptionally helpful and work hard to keep the site functioning and clean. Coin operated showers with hot water, mostly nice and clean except after a crowd gets packed and checks out Sunday AM. Laundry room takes quarters for machines. Small store at office which was open every day. Game room with wi fi. Pool , playground , volleyball area. Good size wood bundle for $10 , delivered directly to your site. Lake access with kayaks , some local hiking. Major grocery store nearby along with Walmart.

    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.


Guide to West Warren

Campsites near West Warren, Massachusetts offer distinct outdoor experiences through all seasons. The region sits in the central Massachusetts woodlands with elevations ranging from 400-700 feet above sea level. Many camping locations in this area feature red clay terrain around water bodies rather than sandy beaches, with most sites operating from April through October due to regional freeze-thaw cycles.

What to do

Hiking trail access: Wells State Park provides extensive woodland trails ranging from beginner to intermediate difficulty. One camper noted the park has "brand new bathroom/shower facility this year. Offers hiking, biking, swimming, fishing. Nice and quiet also."

Water activities: Pine Acres Family Camping Resort features both lake access and swimming pools. According to a visitor, there are "AWESOME pools (very kid friendly), parks, dog park, hiking trails and even sections off of the trails to find your own private beach on the water."

Entertainment options: Many campgrounds organize scheduled activities during summer weekends. At Sunset View Farms, a camper mentioned "Saturday night entertainment, pond, pool, clean" as standout features of their experience.

What campers like

Lake and pond views: Several campgrounds feature waterfront sites with scenic views. At Wells State Park Campground, a visitor highlighted their "pull-through site (#15), and it was much better. We were able to pull in and get leveled relatively easily, even in the pitch-black. The site was very spacious, close to the bath house, and had a really nice view of Walker Pond through the surrounding trees."

Wildlife encounters: The wooded settings provide opportunities to see local wildlife. Campers at multiple sites mention hearing "frogs singing them to sleep" and morning bird songs as part of the experience.

Accessible water recreation: Wilderness Lake Park offers complimentary watercraft use. One reviewer mentioned, "They even had free kayaks/canoes for the lake," making water activities accessible without bringing personal equipment.

What you should know

Seasonal variations: Most campgrounds in the area operate from April to October. As one camper at Partridge Hollow Campground noted, "The way in is very twisty and hilly. Was a challenge for our 33' towing a car but we made it!"

Cash payment policies: Some campgrounds have specific payment requirements. At Wilderness Lake Park, a camper advised: "Heads up, they are cash or Venmo only so be prepared."

Mosquito presence: Bug activity varies by location and season. A visitor to Pine Acres Family Camping Resort warned: "The tenting area of the camp ground is over run with mosquitos, from morning to night they are all over you and I'm pretty sure they are immune to bug spray."

Tips for camping with families

Activity planning: Look for campgrounds with structured programs for children. At Brialee Family Campground, a camper observed "The campground offers activities pretty much hourly for kids and adults to enjoy. Along with a pool, they also have a beach and a separate beach for dogs."

Playground access: Many sites feature play areas for children. One visitor to Village Green Family Campground mentioned the site has "showers were hot" and recreational areas, though some sections have "very little tree cover."

Swimming options: Water facilities vary widely between campgrounds. A camper at Wells State Park noted: "Wells State Park camp grounds recently got new bathrooms and they are so clean! The campsites are a nice size to drive your car up to and still have ample tent/picnic table/fire space. Camp sites are clearly labeled and none are that far of a walk from the beach or bathrooms."

Tips from RVers

Site dimensions: RV spots range from spacious to compact depending on the campground. A reviewer at Partridge Hollow Campground mentioned: "Simple clean friendly family run campground" with sites that accommodate various rig sizes.

Hookup variations: Different campgrounds offer varying levels of hookups. At Thousand Trails Sturbridge, a camper reported: "Had site B1, which was water and electric. Close to the pond. Not directly at the pond, though. There is a huge area of woods with a walking trail starting at the edge of the campground."

Connectivity concerns: Cell service and wifi access can be limited. One camper noted at Thousand Trails Sturbridge: "Cell reception is not great. Camp link Wifi for a fee is workable unless you need to do zoom calls."
