Tips from RVers
Site size variations: Willard Brook State Forest has limited large vehicle access. "Sites are largely level, around a small, bisected loop with towering pines. Most of the sites are best suited to tents and small trailers (think teardrops and pop-ups), but a couple of sites can accommodate slightly larger units," noted a camper at Willard Brook State Forest Campground.
Road conditions: Some cabins have access challenges for larger vehicles. "Don't come in off of rt 10, there's a low covered, one lane bridge that you can't tow thru. Some of the turns aren't so friendly either," warned a visitor at Ashuelot River Campground.
Hookup limitations: Many cabin areas don't provide full utility connections. "There are no hookups nor a dump station at the campground. There are flush toilets, but no showers," explained a visitor about Willard Brook State Forest Campground.
