Several cabin camping options exist within a short drive of Woronoco, Massachusetts, each offering varying levels of amenities. Northampton/Springfield KOA provides cabin accommodations with access to modern facilities including showers, toilets, and a swimming pool. Prospect Mountain Campground and RV Park features cabins in a wooded setting near a pond, with full hookup amenities including electric, water, and sewer connections. Both locations maintain clean facilities and offer picnic tables at cabin sites. Chester Railway Station offers a unique cabin experience in a converted caboose that sleeps four people. "The caboose is stationed on a big grassy field, near a real railroad. Very clean and comfortable."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most cabin sites include fire rings where campfires are permitted, with firewood available for purchase on-site. Pet policies vary by campground, with many allowing pets in select cabin units. Reservations are essential, particularly during peak season from May through October when most campgrounds operate. According to one visitor at the KOA, "I like the reliability of KOAs, and I pretty much know what I'm going to get when I book." Sites can fill quickly on weekends and holidays, with some locations maintaining waiting lists for seasonal rentals.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties, from basic fire pits to cabins with small refrigerators and microwaves. On-site camp stores at Northampton/Springfield KOA and Prospect Mountain Campground sell essential supplies and snacks. Cabin interiors range from simple rustic accommodations with minimal furnishings to more comfortable units with electricity, heating, and basic furniture. Austin Hawes Memorial Campground in nearby Connecticut offers additional cabin options in a riverside setting that one visitor described as "fantastic campground not too far from New York. Super quiet, private campgrounds nestled in the trees, right on a river."
"We stayed in the cabins and they were clean, and we liked our proximity to the pool."
"I’m more of a quite, in-the-middle-of-nowhere kind of camper, so I tend to shy away from commercial campgrounds, but it was easier for me to commute from the KOA than from home when work was crazy because"
"They also have a great pool, playground and pond for fishing. They also have a nice little store and snack bar. There is also a mini golf course and a mining area where kids can “mine” “gems”."
"It looked like the sites were close together, but I was there before there were leaves on the trees and could see how there would be more privacy once they filled out."
$17 - $50 / night
"Very chilled and secluded in your own site. I liked that it felt like a litrle community but still quotr private. They provide ice and firewood which is cool."
"Super quiet, private campgrounds nestled in the trees, right on a river. This is an anglers campground, so there was some serious fishing going on. Not many kids or partiers."
$74 / night
"We stayed at site 85 in Sunny Crest and liked having some privacy. The sites nearby had some trees providing space between each site."
"We got a tent spot and it was perfect since it was the furthest one away and there was no one near us which is probably why we loved it so much bc we were so isolated. a little disappointed in the site"
$50 - $100 / night
"The caboose is stationed on a big grassy field, near a real railroad. It sleeps 4 and you can set up tents outside too. You hear the trains running at night. Very clean and comfortable."
$17 - $55 / night
"Pooping in relative comfort basically makes this glamping."
"I tent camped here in night while exploring the fishing in Western Massachusetts. The campsite was peaceful and quiet and mostly tucked into the hillside."
"We could have fit 3 campers in it and were a good distance from the neighboring sites (there are some places that you are packed in like sardines, not this one)."
"Great little store. Activities for the kids. Not a ton of privacy, but we didn’t mind much. Nice change from the dry camping we usually gravitate towards"
$17 - $175 / night
"Within the campground there are also restrooms available, showers and water."
"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."
$39 - $95 / night
"It's a compact,clean campground tucked at the end of a quiet neighborhood street, within walking distance to a lake. Many of the RV site are occupied by seasonal campers, and the sites are well-kept."
"It’s located off a dead end street . There is a lame right down the street. They have cabins, tent sites and everything sites. Have a small camp store. But downtown Pittsfield very close by."
"Restrooms are clean and spacious. Showers are great. Whoever planned this campground is/was a camper. They have cabins, teepee and tent sites."
"As I am set up for bed I see one other large green tent that looks deserted."
ScoutThis is a nice family friendly campground that makes for easy trips. There are a variety of sites available, from open field sites to more wooded and private areas. The campground also has a lake for swimming,trails for hiking, and some nice quiet areas for fishing. Well maintained bathrooms, with available showers, are also spread throughout the grounds. Not pet friendly unfortunately.
GuideThis campground overall was pretty good. It is a larger campground, with large sites. Within the campground there are also restrooms available, showers and water. I would advise to bring your own water, because the running water they provide doesn't taste the best and smells like rotten eggs. Just my opinion. The campsites also have a fire ring pit and a picnic table, which was nice for my large family. It wasn't too busy when we went- we got there on a Friday night around 6pm and were able to get a spot. There are also some fun activities within the campground, and things nearby. There are some good hiking and biking trails. My family and I went on a hike one morning, and my brothers enjoyed riding their bikes along the path. There is a restaurant near by that plays live music. The night we went, it was country music. Not sure how often they do this, or if the music changes. They do also have cabins you can rent, but we enjoyed the camping experience. We were in section C, spot 85. It was a pretty good, private spot. The campground was pretty clean, although we did see some trash throughout the campground that we picked up as we walked by it.
LegendFinally ventured out for a camping trip in this curious season and was delighted to find Bonnie Brae Campground in the Berkshires. It's a compact,clean campground tucked at the end of a quiet neighborhood street, within walking distance to a lake. Many of the RV site are occupied by seasonal campers, and the sites are well-kept. Some of the sites have platforms. This side of the campground was quiet most of the time. The tent and cabin loop circle around the pool area and although you could hear more conversation and noise from this section, everyone was respectful of quiet hours. They also offer a number of cabins for rent with AC and small refrigerator, but no bathrooms. The bathrooms are small, but very clean. They wouldn't meet ADA standards, but there are no drips, stains, or dirt and they seem to check in a couple of times a day to clean up if needed. The pool is now open (delayed this year due to COVID-19) and the kids in particular enjoyed it. You can add a firewood purchase to your reservation and they'll deliver it to your site.
I was in site 28 with a teardrop camper. I could have used leveling blocks because it was hard to find a great spot that was level side to side. Sites 27 & 29 each seemed a little more level and 29 was larger.
Pontoosuc Lake is a short walk away; there are boat rentals available and I saw a number of people fishing from Pontoosuc Park just above the dam. There's a rail trail nearby and Mt Greylock State Reservation offers numerous hiking opportunities 11 miles to the north.
ScoutGrounds well kept. Shaded sites. Quiet areas in lower roads with mostly seasonal. Reasonable cost. 30 amp only. Many full hookups. Pet friendly.
ScoutI thought I read someplace that there is new ownership, at any rate the folks there were very nice. And the place lives up to its name. We’re not fond of RV parking lots and the sites were well spaced which gets it many extra points. We had a popup in a drive-through site at the bottom of the hill which was fine, though pretty muddy after a day of rain. With that hill there’s no place for larger RVs here unless they were to decide to use the field at the bottom. As far as infrastructure a lot of what is here is very old and dated, sometimes to the point of being comical, but it does appear some updates are happening. Bathroom building is decent and kept very clean (though it would be nice if any of the door latches on the women’s toilets worked.) It appears they have built or rebuilt some cabins. Hiking up and down the hill to the bathroom does get old and there is really no place to park there like most places have without blocking the road. Can squeeze in one car near the (ancient and yucky cold water) dishwashing station. There is a tiny campsite with cabin on the road below it, with a firepit and table like a foot away from the road. Maybe they should eliminate that site to make parking for a couple cars at least, as its a terrible campsite probably the only bad one there. (One night that site had 2 cars, with one blocking the road when we tried to drive past - they should have made the extra car stay down in the lot.) People moved their car a bit, but still had to drive very close to their bonfire. Like much of the area, there is essentially no cell coverage here. An area with wifi would be an excellent upgrade. I know, you’re camping, but sometimes you just need to do something, make a restaurant reservation, or check the weather.
Update- I just found and read an article about the change of ownership. Showed a picture of a recreation room. Where the heck was that? In the building labeled “the Barn?” Which I thought was an actual barn and off limits. The dyrt says there is wifi, maybe it was there? Would have been nice to know about.
GuideWe stayed at site 85 in Sunny Crest and liked having some privacy. The sites nearby had some trees providing space between each site. A lot of the sites we drove by were pretty sloped- I would recommend a drive though if you can beforehand.
The picnic table was chained down so there weren’t many options to set up having the fire pit and picnic table where they were.
Hiking trails were nice, good variety of easier and more difficult terrain.
TravelerBig 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!
TravelerFairly large campground. Tent sites available but mostly RV/Campers. WiFi in common areas isn’t great so if you’re planning on working during some down time, this isn’t the place. Nice hiking around the area. Bathrooms are clean. Good for kids/families.
TravelerNice quiet campground. Outdoor pool, horseshoes, mini golf, outdated playground, Washer/dryers, game room. Nice store with good prices. Check-in 2pm & checkout 10am. Seemed to be about 75% seasonal sights. Full RV hookups with 50 & 30amp services. 3 different types & sizes of rental cabins.

Fishing access points: Several campgrounds provide direct access to prime fishing spots. At Austin Hawes Memorial Campground, campers can fish the Farmington River, which one visitor described as "excellent for fishing and off the main road with access to many many other favorable fishing spots." The river is designated for trophy trout with catch and release regulations.
Hiking trails: The area offers varied terrain for all skill levels. Taconic State Park connects to Bash Bish Falls via short hiking trails. "There are plenty of hiking trails nearby and of course, trails to Bash Bish Falls which is beautiful," notes one visitor. Some campgrounds like Prospect Mountain Campground offer on-site fishing ponds alongside hiking opportunities.
Amusement park access: Families can combine outdoor experiences with rides at Lake Compounce Campground, which is adjacent to the amusement park. The campground features "long pull thrus" and clean facilities while providing easy access to the park attractions. As one camper mentioned, "This is attached to an amusement park but far enough away not to be a bother."
Pool facilities: Several cabin campgrounds feature swimming pools as alternatives to natural water bodies. At White Pines Campsites, campers appreciate the "large clean pool" though one reviewer notes during COVID restrictions there was "no seating due to covid." Prospect Mountain Campground also receives praise for its "great pool" alongside its pond for fishing.
Unique sleeping arrangements: For railroad enthusiasts, Chester Railway Station offers a distinctive experience. "You hear the trains running at night," reports one guest who describes it as "a really fun place to spend a night, especially for a train enthusiast." The caboose accommodates four people with additional tent space available on the surrounding field.
Weekend activities: Many campgrounds organize scheduled events, particularly on weekends. Lone Oak Camp Sites features "a full bar with adult only dancing upstairs in the lounge Saturday nights, and a DJ playing dance music for the younger crowed down stairs." A visitor notes they have "hiking trail with some gorgeous views once you get to the top."
Bathroom facilities: Quality and availability vary significantly between properties. Bonnie Brae Cabins receives high marks for cleanliness with one camper noting the "bath house is definitely the cleanest I've ever seen. Looks like it's recently done!" In contrast, visitors to other campgrounds report challenges with bathroom access, such as Bear Creek where "there is only one set of facilities for the whole place. It's quite a walk to the bathrooms."
Reservation requirements: Advance planning is essential during peak periods. Most cabin rentals require deposits and have minimum stay requirements during summer weekends. October Mountain State Forest doesn't permit same-day reservations, which surprises some visitors: "First off no same day reservations or walk ups allowed."
