Accessible via drive-in, boat-in, hike-in, and walk-in options, Ashuelot River Campground operates May through October with reservations available and nightly rates ranging from $47-70. The facility accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus amenities like WiFi, showers, and a dump station.
The campground offers distinct camping zones that cater to different preferences. Wooded sites along the river provide more privacy and include water plus 30/50 amp service, while open field sites feature full hookups with clear views for stargazing. John L. notes that "Hook ups are in great condition for power, water, sewer." Site sizes accommodate large rigs, with pull-through options available for easier maneuvering.
The Ashuelot River flows around the campground perimeter, creating opportunities for tubing, kayaking, and fishing for trout. Water levels fluctuate with seasonal conditions and recent rainfall, affecting both floating activities and fishing success. Canoe rentals are available on-site, and several reviews mention spotting wildlife including bald eagles while paddling. The facility includes a game room, laundry facilities, and a small camp store with essentials.
Road noise from nearby Route 10 affects sites closest to the river, though most campers report the campground remains relatively quiet overall. Follow the website's specific driving directions to avoid covered bridges with weight and height restrictions that can block RV access. "However, a little rain in the week got the river moving a bit," observed Rae-Ann W. about seasonal water flow variations. Firewood delivery service provides $15 bundles directly to sites, and the office stays open until 7 PM for extended check-in convenience.
