1 campground with availability this weekend
Several cabin campgrounds near Westville Lake in Massachusetts provide a range of accommodations for visitors seeking rustic comfort. Wells State Park Campground in Sturbridge offers basic cabin facilities with limited amenities but excellent access to hiking trails and Walker Pond for swimming and fishing. Thousand Trails Sturbridge provides more developed cabin options with electric hookups, running water, and proximity to recreational facilities. The cabins typically include beds, basic furniture, and sometimes kitchenettes depending on the property. According to one visitor, "The sites are generously sized with plenty of room for multiple shelters," though this review refers to the overall camping experience at Wells State Park.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Charlie Brown Campground in Eastford, Connecticut offers family-friendly cabin accommodations with access to riverside activities. West Thompson Lake Campground provides cabins in a more secluded setting with boat access options. Most properties are pet-friendly with specific restrictions, though additional pet fees may apply. Reservations are essential during peak season from May through October, as noted in the operating schedules for most campgrounds. As one camper mentioned, "We had a great time relaxing around the campfire with another family," highlighting the social atmosphere at Thousand Trails Sturbridge.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary widely between properties - some offer only outdoor fire pits while others include small kitchenettes. Several campgrounds, including Brialee Family Campground and Sutton Falls Camping Area, maintain on-site stores for basic provisions and firewood. Bathroom and shower facilities are generally communal, with varying levels of cleanliness and maintenance. Wells State Park features "clean bathroom and clean free showers," according to a recent review, though the push-button operation provides limited temperature control.
"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."
"Beautiful campground in a nice central location nearby several nice towns in Central Massachusetts."

"Tons of hiking trails. Picnic tables and fire pit at each site. The folks a few miles down the road by the rotary sell giant piles of wood for $10. They do not have an on site store or sell firewood."
"Sites were well spaced and provided some privacy depending on your site choice. Grounds were well kept, bathrooms were very clean with hot showers (bring quarters, $1.50 for 6mins)."

"They provide a store with all the essentials, a game room, laundry room, Rec hall, and multiple bathhouses throughout the Campground."

"The manager was able to give me a great campsite away from all of the RVs and cabins. It was right at the entrance however you did have to hike up a short 50ft hill to get to the site."
"We had a great time relaxing around the campfire with another family. The playground was a hit for our kids!"
"The grounds were clean, the playground was nice, and the people were all friendly. "
"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."
"Miles and miles of country/forests surrounding pine acres, however pulling in you’ll soon realize how much goes on inside the campground."
"They have everything from go-kart/kayak rentals to mini-golf/arcade, but it all costs extra on top of the camp ground being pretty pricey, @80$/night for a tent site."
from $70 - $115 / night
"The RV sites are spacious and easy to navigate, with full hookups and strong Wi-Fi— a big plus for us since we work remotely on the road. What really sets this place apart is the location."
"This park is on a great trajectory! The staff have been working hard on upgrades and improvements after they took it over. Go check it out! "
from $65 - $125 / night
"I can only speak for the camping on this peninsula/land, but the rest of the sites looked cozy, family-friendly, and fun. Cabins and RV sites across the lake, along with beaches for swimming."
"Had a great time, kids had a blast with the boat rentals and fishing.
Saw they have 2 yurts for rent as well."
from $40 - $65 / night
"Got a last minute spot on a Friday evening with privacy and amenities (usually you cant even find a tent spot during peak season on a Friday). Great place, we will be coming back often!"
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.
ScoutFriendly staff and very clean facilities. They have sites with sewage hookups along with water and electric. Sites are small and very close together. I liked how many dog waste receptacles were available all over the 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.
GuideI can understand why this place is rated one of the best campgrounds in the country. This was my first time camping here with my own RV and it did not disappoint. Our site was spacious, and centrally located within the campground, they have all the amenities you can imagine living up to that “resort” title. Ranging from multiple pools, hot tubs, courts, pavilions, playgrounds, etc. the cell service was great, they offer WiFi, and much more. I love the store, it gives off that Great Wolf Lodge feel, and it has everything inside you may need. Including a little hidden café that surprisingly made good lattes. This place is massive, and I’ve never seen a campground that had as many million dollar RV’s in one place. That atmosphere is just great here. There is so much to do. It’s so big you need an e-bike just to get around. Resort-style campgrounds like this come at a steeper price compared to others, but in my opinion, Normandy was well worth the cost. We look forward to revisiting, often!
TravelerWe came in the day after Labor Day ~ after 280 rv’s checked out ~ so it may not have been as peaceful over the weekend, but I heard everyone had lots of fun. The grounds are beautiful!
ScoutThis park is beautiful. Everything is very well taken care of from the grounds to the restrooms the pool. Not a blade of grass or if place.
TravelerWe’ve been coming to the Northampton, MA KOA for over 6 years now, several times each year, and it continues to be one of our favorite places to camp. There are a few key things that keep us coming back year after year.
First, they do an amazing job keeping our kids busy and entertained. There’s always something going on, which makes it a truly family-friendly campground and allows us parents to relax and enjoy our time as well.
The facilities are always clean, well-maintained, and organized. You can tell the staff takes pride in keeping everything in great shape, which makes a big difference in the overall experience.
What really stands out, though, is the management and staff. They are consistently friendly, helpful, and go above and beyond to make sure guests have a great stay. That level of care and attention is hard to find and is a big reason why we remain loyal visitors. This campground may very well be the best Koa that I have ever stayed at.
If you’re looking for a campground that’s clean, family-oriented, and run by an amazing team, this KOA is definitely worth visiting. We look forward to many more years of camping here!
ScoutDo not go here! Worst customer service i have ever experienced. I booked online through expedia. Paid in full for a cabin. They took my money no problem. Then emailed me the cabin was not available and to contact them, off site, to get a different camp site. One i didn't want or even ask for. It all sounded sketchy to me so I told them to just refund the money to me and I'll go somewhere else. The person emailing me instead of refunding the money told me to contact the office to get a new site. I responded with I would just like a refund please. They ghosted me. So I call the site to get my money, which is not a small amount remind you close to$500, and the first person I talk to hangs up on me before I can say anything. The second person starts blaming me for booking through expedia and not them. Because there inability to use third party websites is my fault? After all that the apparently only person able to give refunds conveniently isn't there but would call me back. Was told I would definitely get my money back... suprise they never called. Luckily expedia has protection and I can get my money back through them. Save yourself a headache and stay away! If the whole place is run by the people booking I would fear for my children going there
GuideWe arrived on a Saturday afternoon and they did seem have alot going on. It was Christmas in July. There was a live band and a few food trucks. The campsites are onto of each. Way too close for us. The roads that lead to the sites are way to narrow. I tow a 27ft travel trailer and my tires were off the road on both sides. The campsite itself was nice. No complaints there. Pool was gross. Mini golf was horrible. All the wood was rotted. We won't be back.

Hiking and trails access: Wells State Park Campground offers several miles of hiking paths around Walker Pond. "We were impressed with how beautiful and shaded the Park was and all the trails it had to offer," notes Rachel P. The terrain features moderate hills suitable for day hikers of varied experience levels.
Water recreation opportunities: West Thompson Lake Campground provides kayaking access to the lake and adjoining river system. "Take a long paddle up the river and you'll be escorted by hundreds of bluebirds and cedar waxwings," reports Cynthia K. The fishing is catch-and-release only, with small watercraft rentals available seasonally.
Disc golf courses: Multiple campgrounds maintain disc golf facilities with rental equipment. "There are a lot of choices for hiking including a disc golf course," explains Deborah B. from West Thompson Lake. The courses typically feature 9-18 holes with varying difficulty levels, accessible to beginners and experienced players alike.
Updated facilities: Recent renovations at several properties have improved the camping experience. "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," writes Lauren C. Bathroom upgrades include improved shower facilities and accessibility features.
River access sites: Charlie Brown Campground offers waterfront cabin options along the Natchaug River. "We had a beautiful river side site. Oversized and nicely unkept. Grey dump only due to river so no biggie," says Johnny W. Water levels vary seasonally, with spring typically offering the strongest flows for tubing and kayaking.
Mixed accommodation options: Several resorts offer a combination of cabin styles alongside traditional campsites. "We chose site P1 all to ourselves. Stunning views across the large pond... Cabins and RV sites across the lake, along with beaches for swimming," describes Stephanie M. at Sutton Falls Camping Area. Many properties maintain remote cabin options for those seeking additional privacy.
Campground size considerations: Some properties are significantly larger than others, affecting the overall experience. Brialee Family Campground is described as "fairly large campground. Tent sites available but mostly RV/Campers... Nice hiking around the area. Bathrooms are clean. Good for kids/families," by Kailie G. Larger campgrounds often feature more organized activities but less privacy.
Limited cellular connectivity: Travelers requiring internet access should research connectivity options. "Only problem was the cell signal. My wife works remotely and needs to be connected. Without our antenna we we only had 1 bar of both Verizon and AT&T. No signal at all on T-Mobile/Sprint," reports Sean at Sutton Falls Camping Area. WiFi availability varies by property, with some offering paid options.
Seasonal considerations: Most cabin rentals operate from April/May through October, with limited off-season availability. "Tucked away just outside Sturbridge on the road to Spencer (rt-49) is one of Mass State Parks nicest little gems... If you're looking for a little escape to the woods, this place is it," writes Cliff M. Spring and fall typically offer less crowded conditions with more cabin availability.
Activity planning: Pine Acres Family Camping Resort offers extensive family programming. "With a full calendar of events (some free, some cost $) you will never be bored. Quiet time is quiet time which is great for families," notes Brian G. Activities typically include organized sports, crafts, and seasonal celebrations on weekends.
Swimming options: Multiple properties maintain both pool and natural swimming areas. "Clean and updated. Beautiful and fun. Live music and food trucks were available. Pool and splash pad along with sandy beach," says Katelyn D. about Pine Acres Family Camping Resort. Beach areas vary in quality, with some featuring sandy shorelines and others maintaining more natural settings.
Playground facilities: Most family-oriented campgrounds maintain playground equipment. "The sites were clean, the playground was nice, and the people were all friendly," reports one camper about Charlie Brown Campground. Playgrounds typically include standard climbing equipment, swings, and sometimes specialized areas for younger children.
Site selection strategies: George Washington State Campground offers varied site options for different RV types. "Sites were well spaced and provided some privacy depending on your site choice. Grounds were well kept, bathrooms were very clean with hot showers (bring quarters, $1.50 for 6mins)," advises Nick P. Back-in sites typically offer more privacy than pull-through options.
Utility connections: Water and electric hookups are standard at most cabin and RV sites, with varying amperage options. "Sites are large, well spaced, and shaded. Great little swimming lake as well as a popular hiking trail," notes Cliff M. about Wells State Park. Many properties offer 30-amp service as standard, with 50-amp connections available at select sites for an additional fee.
Access considerations: Some properties have challenging entrance conditions. "The sites 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," explains Lauren C. RVers should contact properties directly regarding specific access restrictions like covered bridges, low clearances, or narrow roads.
