Camping near Westville Lake

625 Reviews

Camping options near Westville Lake in Massachusetts include a mix of developed campgrounds and family-friendly camping resorts within a 10-15 mile radius. The area features several established camping facilities like Wells State Park Campground in Sturbridge and Thousand Trails Sturbridge, offering various accommodation types including tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and glamping options. Most campgrounds in this region provide basic amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, and access to hiking trails, with several properties offering waterfront views or lake access.

Seasonal considerations play a significant role in planning a camping trip to the Westville Lake area. The majority of campgrounds operate from April or May through October, with peak season occurring during summer months. Wells State Park Campground, situated on Walker Pond, offers hiking trails and swimming opportunities but requires advance reservations with no day-of booking available. Road access to campsites can present challenges for larger vehicles, with some pull-through sites requiring navigation around tight bends and tree-lined roads. As one visitor noted, "Even the 'main' roads required my wife to watch as I cleared tree trunks; it was difficult to snake our little trailer around the bends."

Campers frequently mention the quality of hiking trails available at Wells State Park as a highlight of the region. The park features "a huge system of trails which are all very well marked" with varying difficulties, including routes to scenic viewpoints like Carpenter's Rocks. Water activities represent another popular feature, with several campgrounds offering swimming, fishing, and boating opportunities on nearby lakes and ponds. While natural surroundings are a draw, some visitors mention road noise from nearby I-90 as a potential drawback at certain locations. Site privacy varies considerably between campgrounds, with Wells State Park receiving positive comments for well-spaced, shaded sites that provide good privacy, while more commercial campgrounds may have closer site spacing and fewer natural buffers between campers.

    Austin Hawes Memorial Campground — American Legion State Forest

    Great State Forest Campground

    Austin Hawes (also known as American Legion State Forest/Campground) is a great little place in a beautiful part of the State. They have cabins if you want some of the creature comforts, as well as sites suitable for tents or campers. Have camped here before in tents and a pop up, it's right on the Farmington River, so we have gone tubing down the river, swimming and fishing as well. The bathrooms have showers and flush toilets, there are hiking trails in and near the campground, and stores not too far. Sites vary in size and privacy.

    Green Falls Campground

    Inexpensive and primitive

    We like Green Falls. Again, it is inexpensive and kinda primitive, but it sure also quiet and a real woods camping environment. Take a hike around the pond, fish and swim in season, and enjoy a laid back approach to your time here.

    Mount Misery Campground

    Great spot for no frills camping

    We loved Mt. Misery. We spent $17/night, and we know what to expect at that price point. We stayed during fall foliage season and even though CT has had a drought this year, there were still pretty colors to see. We hiked to the overlook of Mt. Misery and had a great time geocaching and enjoying the trails. We found the campsites to be decent, and a number of them did afford privacy and space, we had 4 people and 3 dogs on our site, and had plenty of room for our travel trailer and 2 tents. We will be back here for sure.

    Normandy Farms Campground

    Loud and crowded!

    Know what you are getting... This is a family resort that charges$20/per night, per person, OVER the two people rate. It is loud, crowded, with golf carts and kids running around. It is a resort campground with pools, frisbee court and etc... This is not a quiet, restful place to stay to visit Boston and the surrounding area or to visit family in town. Entry is gated and controlled. Want to bring your college daughter back after dinner- forget it,$20 for her and$20 her friend, for 1-2 hour visit after 7:00 PM at night! When we return, we will stay at Spacious Skies CG or the state park. The cost and inconvenience is not worth it!

    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.

    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.
