This is not just a campground, it’s our home in the woods that we want to share with you.
From the intersection of Route 7 and Route 43 go 5 miles south on Route 43 to the park.
The name kinda says it all. You’re up in the middle of nowhere with this quirky guy (Andre) as your host. Best part was the owls talking to each other in the middle of the night and the flowing spring water you could bottle and drink.
I stayed here for a couple months, first month on a tent site, second in a cabin when the nights were getting chilly. This is a lovely, quiet peaceful place to stay. And the staff was very nice and helpful, like when I accidentally locked myself out of my cabin. I loved all the natural beauty here, and getting to see wildlife around. I'd come back here again for sure.
Consider this trip a time travel, a 70’s throwback, a DIY reality show, everything but your life in the city. If you like to fix things in your garage, or if you like nature, and you don’t mind handcrafted old things that still work, this is a must see. If you bring kids along, they would spend quality time with you because there is no phone signal or WiFi. This is a unique place, and it is impossible to compare it with any popular campground. The guardian of this mountain and campground is a Korean War veteran, an incorruptible soul.
This place is just how camping should be. Old school vibes with very friendly staff/owners that look to be working their way around updating and keeping the grounds clear and nice. Lots of hiking trails starting right on the grounds.
Charming campground just south of Williamstown, MA. Perfect jumping off point for a trip to the Berkshires, but also fun just to hang out in the sauna or hike up to the wind farm (~2 miles, uphill). Delicious spring water available. Just be sure to bring a quarter for the shower and remember to twist the quarter machine further than you think (this will make sense once you try to operate the mechanism).
