Best Campgrounds near Worthington, MA

645 Reviews

The Berkshire Mountains surrounding Worthington, Massachusetts contain multiple established campgrounds within a 30-minute drive. Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) State Forest Campground in Williamsburg offers tent and RV sites with electric hookups, while October Mountain State Forest Campground in Lee provides a range of accommodation types including tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and yurts. Mt. Greylock Campsite Park in Lanesborough caters primarily to RV campers. Most campgrounds in this region operate seasonally from May through October, with limited winter camping options available at select locations.

Massachusetts state parks and forests dominate the camping landscape near Worthington, with most requiring advance reservations through the state reservation system. Many campgrounds feature a mix of primitive tent sites and developed areas with electric hookups, showers, and sanitary facilities. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with several campgrounds reporting limited or no connectivity. Elevation changes affect both temperature and accessibility, particularly during spring and fall. Campers should prepare for cooler nights even in summer months. A review noted that "Massachusetts charges out-of-state residents 3x as much to camp," which affects planning for visitors from neighboring states.

Waterfront camping receives consistently positive reviews at several locations near Worthington. October Mountain State Forest offers sites on different tiers of a hill, with the lower level featuring RV sites, the middle level providing tent sites, and the upper level containing yurts. However, some campers mention noise concerns at certain locations. One reviewer warned about "a HUGE power station that emits a hum constantly" near October Mountain's entrance. Mohawk Trail State Forest Campground provides clean, quiet sites with access to hiking trails, though campsites are described as being "very close together without much brush for privacy." Family-friendly amenities like swimming areas, hiking trails, and fishing spots are common features at most established campgrounds in the region.

    Statton Pond Camp on Forest Road 71

    Large Area with Fire Pit in the middle

    This was a great site.  I couldn't believe that the site was not being used at all, especially the just a couple of days before Fourth of July weekend.  Many other sites further south on 71 were filled and some were just TTs holding the space for the upcoming weekend.

    The site was very flat and could accommodate several small campers.  It was quiet during our overnight stay other than a car or two on Stratton-Arlington Rd.  There weren't many mosquitoes either.  Hiking trail to Stratton Pond close by.

    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.

    Lake Dennison Recreation Area Campground

    Really pretty and chill

    This campground is pretty and offers many private site options. We didn't use the bathrooms so can't speak on that. But overall it's a clean campground.

    There are two loops. The loop closer to the entrance has a lot of private sites. Although if you have one closer to the main road, it is quite noisy with road sounds. But many of the sites in the middle are more quiet. The sites by the lake are really pretty, but there's not much privacy. All of the sites are good size and the fire pits are placed well.

    The other loop farther away from the entrance has a lot more lakeside sites. But there's very little privacy. The sites with higher numbers by the lake are all on top of each other with little to no trees or shrubs between sites, and you can't really decipher where one site ends and the next begins. We would not stay on that loop if we visited again. Unless it was site 101 which seemed more private for that loop.

    Sites 1 through 5 on the first loop are pretty quiet and peaceful. We stayed at site 4 and we think that it was one of the best sites in the campground. We didn't have neighbors on either side of us. We only had neighbors across from us. The site was spacious , peaceful and pretty. There was a little trail from our site that went down to a marsh. That was absolutely beautiful.

    We will definitely stay here again.

    Somerset Airfield

    No Wifi, Resevoir Beautiful

    Enjoyed the stunning babbling brook and resevoir- saw happy people swimming, kayaking, and camping. It's been quiet and peaceful and sometimes generators running all night. I arrived after the 4th of July and a neighbor said it was rowdy during the holiday with illegal fireworks set off every night over the dry forest. These pics are from a weekday morning. It's great to see families camping. There are pit toilets. AT.T service at bridge prior to camp- short walk. SOS only in camp. Another camper told me Starlink works here.
