2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several locations around Averill Park, New York list cabin rentals with varying amenities. Dingman's Family Campground in Nassau offers cabin accommodations with fire pits and picnic tables at each site. Woodford State Park Campground provides cabins near a 25-acre lake with hiking trails and fishing opportunities. A recent review noted that "They have RV sites, yurts, custom furnished treehouses with electricity, beautiful tiny homes with outdoor living spaces, completely remodeled vintage airstreams, and gorgeous private cabins!" Most cabins include basic furnishings, though amenities vary significantly between locations. Taborton Harvest specifically focuses on cabin rentals rather than tent or RV camping.
Options range from rustic to deluxe cabins, depending on the location. Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites offers "a number of cabins for rent with AC and small refrigerator, but no bathrooms," according to one visitor. Most cabin rentals require advance reservations, especially during peak summer months from May through October. Pet policies vary by location - Woodford State Park allows dogs in most cabins except three specific units. Adventure Bound Camping Resort at Deer Run permits pets at their cabin sites. Seasonal availability is important to note, as most campgrounds operate from May through mid-October, with limited winter accommodations.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely - some cabins offer refrigerators and microwaves while others provide only outdoor cooking options at fire rings with grill grates. On-site camp stores at locations like Copake Falls Area sell firewood, ice, and basic camping supplies. Campers staying at cabins without bathroom facilities will need to use centralized shower houses and restrooms, which one reviewer described as "small, but very clean." Visitors planning extended stays should consider bringing cooking equipment, food storage containers, and sufficient clothing for variable weather conditions.
"Absolutely loved this campground, sites are well spaced and the surrounding area is gorgeous! We had a tent site right on the river and couldn’t have been happier with our stay."
"Great walking access to the river where you can launch your kayak/go tubbing or just go for a swim. Would return."
"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."
from $65 - $185 / night
"Pooping in relative comfort basically makes this glamping."
"The campground is on a hillside and we stayed in one of the higher sites, further from the electrical site. The background humming was faint. There are 2 very close sites next to 3 yurts."

"We’re not fond of RV parking lots and the sites were well spaced which gets it many extra points."
from $30 - $60 / night
"Quiet, great fire pits, clean bathrooms, firewood and starter for sale plus access to day use area. The lake next to the campground is beautiful and has plenty of picnic tables and grills for use."
"We have camped at Woodford State Park in the summer and fall. It's a small park, but it never feels crowded. Most park activities are based around a small, 25-acre lake."
"Nestled in the Berkshires and basically walking distance to Vermont, Clarksburg State Park provides a comfortable and semi-private tent site."
"This campground is fairly small with a lot of diversity in campsite size, privacy, and levelness."

"At the office/store the employees were very nice and helpful. The public bathrooms were very clean but the toilets didn’t flush very well in the 2 different bathrooms we went to."
"The draw back is where you need to park the camper is about 7 inches out of level. If we stay in the same site again we would come better prepared."
"They also had bear boxes, picnic tables and fire rings at each site. We will go back."
"The park is so hard to find that not even a cell signal can get there, if your looking to unplug this is a great spot!Use the directions provided on the website, they are far more reliable."

TravelerA nice wooded campground that was quiet despite being almost full on our Friday night stay.
The site we stayed at (64) had some pretty large roots to drive over and may have been an issue for a low clearance vehicle (we have a Subaru Outback).
The shower / house bathroom combo units weee very clean with hot water and baby changing station.
GuideI'm sure families would like it here in the summer, but to charge $90 when everything is closed up is ridiculous. Wi-Fi and showers are an additional cost. It does have an ADA shower which is a plus. Lots of permanent RVers and some sites are tight.
TravelerLaundry is clean, bathrooms are clean and showers are hot. Pool, dishwashing station, sometimes quite sometimes very active. Love this place! Wish it was open year round!

The Good:
1. The location
2. The actual campground itself. There are roomy sites with trees.
The Bad:
1. If you are lucky enough to get an assigned campsite away from the busy road, it is a HALF MILE walk to the only showers in the ENTIRE campground. They have nearly 200 campsites and ONE set of showers.
2. The speed bumps are beyond ridiculous. Two humpers and high as Bob Marley.
3. If you call the office for help (our electrical post was out) they record you without your knowledge.
The Ugly:
1. The campground lost power on my electrical post and tried to blame ME for it. I own a Bulldog surge protector, yeah, so it wasn't me. How it was handled was unbelievable. I have never been treated so rudely. A simple apology would have gone a long way.
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!
RangerWe camped here in the fall and really enjoyed our time here. We had.to hike about 500 feet from our car to our site, but we're no strangers to backpacking, and it was a really.quick jaunt. Our site was right near the water. Great place.
RangerThe campground is on a hillside and we stayed in one of the higher sites, further from the electrical site. The background humming was faint. There are 2 very close sites next to 3 yurts. The first night, our yurt neighbors partied until 1:30 am, and the 2nd night a family stayed and were in bed by 9:30. The closest bathrooms were down the hill a bit and were clean with a nice shower. Amazing hiking trails right from the campground. Our dog encountered a porcupine, and got away with only a couple of quills to the lower lip. If you have a dog, you will need to show a current rabies tag to bring them into the campsite.
ScoutThe neighbor cry about a dog that barks and then we are no good
RangerThe campground is secluded and quiet, lots of trees and the pond is pretty. There is a good hike around the pond (2.5 miles or so) with cool pull offs for wildlife spotting (we saw two loons fishing for their baby).
Site 73 itself had the camp beach access which brought some people in close proximity but they were all respectful. The beach is more of a muddy, rocky, bay but shallow enough for wading.
Fire wood seemed expensive for what we got ($9 per bundle).
Cabin accommodations near Averill Park, New York range from rustic platforms to fully furnished units with varying amenities. The mountainous terrain of the Taconic Range influences local camping conditions, with elevations reaching 2,000 feet in nearby areas. Most Averill Park region cabins operate seasonally from May through mid-October due to harsh winter conditions in New York's Capital District.
Hiking to waterfalls: Copake Falls Area offers direct trail access to Bash Bish Falls. "There's a short hike (or drive) to the beautiful Bash Bish falls," notes one visitor to Copake Falls Area.
Kayaking on mountain lakes: Woodford State Park provides access to a pristine mountain pond. A recent visitor mentioned: "The reservoir is beautiful- plenty of space to spread out for paddling and swimming. We had no issues with noise from other campers." This park allows dogs at designated camper's beach areas, unlike the day-use sections.
Winter activities: While most cabin rentals close by October, some campgrounds offer winter access. Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground cabins remain available in colder months. "This campground provides a nice base if you're in the area for a while and want to explore North Adams, Mt. Greylock, or rafting/tubing out of Charlemont. Each of these places is 20-45 minutes away."
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain meticulous bathroom facilities. At Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites, "Bath house is definitely the cleanest I've ever seen. Looks like it's recently done! Wow!! The cabin I stayed in was awesome...could have stayed for a week and next year I plan to do just that!!"
Wildlife viewing: Campers frequently spot local fauna. October Mountain provides opportunities to see native wildlife. "We had several species of frogs and toads wandering about in the evening, giant millipedes were plenty, and even found a newt on our hike."
Lake swimming: Several campgrounds feature swimming areas. Clarksburg State Park Campground provides both lake access and hiking trails. "The pond and the hiking trail around it are beautiful. We'll definitely return! My only complaint is that Massachusetts charges out-of-state residents 3x as much to camp."
Limited connectivity: Cell reception is minimal at most cabin locations. At Woodford State Park Campground, "No cell coverage here. Head toward Florida, MA on Rt 2 and at the height of land (shortly before you reach the Elk monument), you'll have good coverage."
Bear safety: Several campgrounds provide bear boxes. "Bear boxes are provided at each site as this is black Bear country." Always store food properly and follow campground guidelines regarding wildlife.
Reservation timing: Most cabins require advance booking. "First off no same day reservations or walk ups allowed," notes one camper at October Mountain State Forest. Holiday weekends often book months in advance.
Pool availability: Some campgrounds offer swimming pools for children. Adventure Bound Camping Resort at Deer Run provides water attractions. "Family oriented. The kids loved love water attractions. Our site was large and shaded." This resort offers cabin accommodations with activities targeted toward families.
Platform tent sites: For families transitioning to cabin camping, platform tents provide an intermediate option. Copake Falls Area offers elevated platforms. "Each of the sites had a large platform (enough room for one very large tent or 2-3 smaller tents), a fire pit, and picnic table."
Ranger programs: Educational activities enhance family visits. "Rangers provided programming for kids and families on the weekends," reports a visitor to Clarksburg State Park. These programs typically run Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Site levelness: Many cabin and RV sites require leveling equipment. At Dingman's Family Campground, sites vary significantly in terrain. "The sites are not very private and there is a very large area that are open sites with no natural dividers."
Bathroom accessibility: Cabin locations relative to bathrooms affects convenience. "Bathrooms at a distance for most sites. They could use some updating but served their purpose," notes one camper at Savoy Mountain State Forest Campground. Some cabins require walking up to 5 minutes to reach facilities.
Generator restrictions: Most cabin camping areas restrict generator use. "With that hill there's no place for larger RVs here unless they were to decide to use the field at the bottom," notes one Privacy Campground visitor regarding the site topography limitations.
