    Mohawk Park Campground & Restaurant

    Riverside Camping is the best!

    Mohawk campground and restaurant is my favorite spot to tent camp. Tent sites are located right on the Deerfield River... literally. It is so relaxing to wake up to the sound of the river and you can even head to a local park and tube down the river right back to your site! There is a pub and restaurant right on the premises.

    This Campground is located just down the street from Mohawk Trail and other sightseeing areas. 10 minutes down the road in Charlemont, MA, you can check out the Bridge of Flowers or the glacial potholes, they are really cool!

    October Mountain State Forest

    Peaceful and clean campground

    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.

    I did see the electrical station at the entrance but the sound didn’t reach where I was staying at site 33. To avoid that sound, I would suggest sites further up the road.

    The sites offered medium privacy. Site 33 was built into a slope in the hill, so it required walking up a short set of stairs, but the tent site was level.

    I didn’t explore the hiking trails but it seems very convenient that you could leave into the trails right from the campground.

    For any fly fishing folks, this campground is very close to the Housatonic (catch and release only!)

    Great family spot

    Mainly an RV ground, but they have about 10-15 great tent sites back beyond the RV area. There are water spigots near all the tent sites and they are nice and spread out. They have special events in a pavilion near the RVs including bingo

    Beautiful well spaced drive-in sites

    Very well run, well spaced, drive-in sites suitable for tent camping as well as rvs. Spotless clean showers, wash areas, toilets. Excellent hiking of all classifications.

    Camping On The Battenkill

    Quiet private campground

    Quiet private campground along the battenkill river. Pretty clean bathrooms and showers but not the best. They have tent sites to full hook up sites. We were at site 33 which was nice and large but kinda on top of neighbors. The tent sites are nice and private near the river. They have laundry and a fenced in dog area that was much appreciated! Almost everyone camping had a dog or 2. We enjoyed this place but not a lot to do right off the campground in terms of hiking and biking trails

    Camping On The Battenkill

    Love this place!

    Small, mostly wooded, quiet campground. Facilities were spotless. The owners are so nice and welcoming. Great river for tubing or hanging out in the swimming hole.

    We there last month tent camping. Headed back with the camper next week!

    Family and Pet Friendly Campground

    We reserved a groupsite down by a stream and pond. It had a large common area surrounded by little pockets which made great tent sites. Beautiful site! Other campsites were far enough away that we felt like we had the place to ourselves.

    Blue Mountain Campground

    Family friendly/ rocky tent campsite’s

    Located in the Catskills. This is a family friendly there’s bathrooms/showers playground, pool, potable water and a outdoor pavilion. Located near hiking in the Catskills and 15 mins to Woodstock.

    The tent site are very richly and uneven, it was very hard to pitch a tent. When it rains theres a horrible smell across the campground.

    One of the nicest campgrounds!

    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. Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table. Facilities were exceptionally clean and the camp store was stunning!

    Mills Norrie State Park Campground

    Decent state park campground

    This is an older campground with several options. Only 6 sites with electric. 50 & 51 are nice & private. Lots of large tent sites, some in an open area & others fairly private. 4 tent pads with obstructed river views. Assorted cabins, mostly above the river. Restrooms small but pretty clean by state park standards.

    Pretty Good Place

    Had a great experience here, only one night at tent site. Site was a bit small, but overall place was very clean & taken care of. Booking online can be a bit confusing, I had to call for explanation. Overall I would recommend this place & would definitely go again.

    A quiet place

    We never been here. This campground is quite small. But quiet. 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. They have a pool. The owners were very professional and friendly . We will return..

    Great for a group!

    We camped here with a group of friends - about a dozen in all. It was easy to coordinate with the staff to get a few tent sites and a cabin in close distance. Campsites were a bit minimal, and amenities were OK. Overall we were looking for a quiet and clean space and this was excellent for that.

    Clean, pretty wooded sites near North Adams

    Beautiful sites with lots of trees, some on a lake for RV or Tent camping. Very helpful and friendly staff. Clean restrooms and showers. Preferred the natural wooded sites vs. the "trailer park" atmosphere where some year round campers lived. We selected this site because we wanted to visit Mass MOCA, which was nearby. We will definitely go there again.https://www.northadams-ma.gov/visit_our_city/historic_valley_campground/index.php

    Loved it

    I flew up here from Louisiana and met my sister in a primitive tent site. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and very well maintained! Pool was lovely and refreshing. I do wish they had more bathrooms though. Especially by the pool!!! Camp staff was very friendly and helpful. The kids had a blast fishing and riding their bikes around. We are going to make this a yearly thing from now on!!

    Great Spot!

    Big 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!

    Camping On The Battenkill

    Very Nice Place

    I am motorcycle tent camping and found this place due to recommendations on dyrt. It lived up to all expectations. Friendly staff (Super helpful), Clean campground with an awesome old school vibe. Kids riding around on bikes, no one too loud, quiet times observed, everyone was super nice. Extra pts for this place on the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers. One does not expect much but these were newer, very bright and super clean.

    Wifi is not free. 2.95/day with a 5M download limit.

    Camping On The Battenkill

    Right along the Battenkill River

    Spring camping in southern VT. Trees had not fully leafed out yet when we visited, but I would think this would be a well shaded campground. We had our small camper on a tent site to be near the river. Some sites were right on the river, many larger RVs were closer to an open play area/field. There were hookups and dump station. Dog friendly. Fishing and "swimming" or tubing in season I should think.

    Small Campground on the Mountain

    Mohawk Park is a small campground that provides RV & tent sites, some along the Deerfield River. Sites are small but have electricity, water, picnic tables, & fire rings. Fishing, swimming, & tubing are allowed in the river...and you'll often see tubers floating by during the summer months!

    The park is perfectly located along the scenic Mohawk Trail (Rt 2) about half-way between North Adams and Greenfield... with a rustic restaurant on site, where they're serving up all your culinary and beverage needs.

    Beautiful and Well Maintained CG

    What a beautiful and well maintained CG! Great owners, facilities, and amenities. Gravel roads and relatively level gravel sites. There are W/E sites, dry sites, and many secluded tent sites. There are two lakes and another nearby. It is close to many hiking trails. We arrived an hour after the water was turned off due to freezing temps. We were allowed to fill the fresh tank from the lodge. We woke the next day to heavy fog. We would definitely stay here again - for longer than an overnight stay!

    Uncle Pete's Campground - CLOSED

    Prime Catskill Camping

    I’ve been coming to Uncle Pete’s for the last 15 years. Very reasonably priced and a 2 minute drive from the center of town. Car camping so you can park right next to where you sleep, makes dining and sleeping comfortable very easy. Plenty of creekside tent sites that offer a large section of riverfront. Large baseball field and playgrounds for kids. Each site comes with an electric hookup, fire pit and picnic tables. Cheap firewood can be bought up front at the bathrooms. Becky and Danny are super accommodating!!

    Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Campground — D.A.R. State Forest

    Good campground with easy lake access

    I tent camped here for a night in early July and enjoyed the stay. The camp sites were well kept though kind of light on privacy and space between campsites.

    I was staying over on the way to some fishing so I didn’t full explore the park but there looked to be plenty to do.

    There is a campers only beach on upper highland lake that was easy walking distance from the campsite and fishing opportunities there as well.

    The main beach had a swimming area, facilities, and a trail around that looked promising for some fishing.

    I’d stay here again when I have more time to explore.

    Would stay again

    Taconic State Park has a beautiful campground. No electric hookups, but plenty of water and tent sites are available with very large platforms. Bathroom facilities are adequate. There are 2 dog friendly loops at the back. Overall, very quiet and friendly.

    2 lIfeguarded swimming areas — a kiddie pool and a deep area with floating dock to jump off of. Very short hike (or drive) to the beautiful Bash Bish falls

    If you are traveling with a dog, be sure to bring proof of rabies— they ask.

    Fees are $15 residents and $20 non residents plus processing fees.
