The owner/keeper was extremely nice and accommodating. Probably one of the nicest gentlemen I've ever met in my life. The office was uniquely decorated and had the basic necessities for sale (ice, fire starter, large bundles of firewood for only $5 each, and more). We stayed at a double campsite to accommodate the size of our group and it was perfect. This campsite included a fire pit and two picnic benches. We easily fit one large tent (8-10 people) at the site and 9 lawn chairs around the fire pit and had much more room to spare. This double campsite could have easily fit 3 smaller tents. The campsites were secluded and we only ran into a few other campers. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back, definitely a hidden gem in western MA near the NY border!

Private campgrounds are usually crowded and loud. Not Mt Greylock. Big wooded site. Lots of privacy. Clean. Friendly helpful staff. This is clearly a gem in the Berkshires. Not super suited to tent camping but most modern private campgrounds aren't. This one most of the sites have water electric and gray water discharge. Rv sites are easy to get into. They deliver wood to your site. They have a pool but we did not visit- we had the dog. They had live music Saturday night. A great add. Bath house was clean. Showers nice sized. I definitely would go back.

I've since had a change of employment and need to shorten my visit there. Per campground policy clearly stated online, credits or refunds aren't given for cancellations on holiday weekends. I'm available for the weekend, and submitted a request for credits for the non-holiday nights so I can use them in the future, per policy. Dave (who claimed to be owner, then clarified as Gen Mgr) denied my request... claims this cannot be done. I asked what would happen if someone had a lengthy reservation like weeks or maybe a month ... would they be locked into the entirety because a holiday fell within their dates?? He said no, they wouldn't; that's different. And he declined to afford me any means of contacting someone else (such as the owner) so that I could request ... "they won't be back for weeks anyways", he said. Please, per policy, I am keeping my nonrefundable non creditable weekend nights (3), would like to have the non-holiday nights (4) issued as a credit for a future stay. Dave has been ineffective in explaining to me why it's impossible for me to do this ... but is certainly possible for someone else in same situation.

For our third annual cousin's white water rafting weekend, we decided on Mohawk Campground for our…read morecamping needs. The rules are a little weird with amount of tents/people per campsite (which is 4 in a 4 person tent) but we reserved in advance and got 3 campsites right next to each other along the river. The check in process is quite homemade; you go into the bar and find the owner, who's an adorable lady who looks like she was raised on this campsite. She explains the "map" to you and sends you on your way. Very helpful, a little frazzle-brained, but welcoming and looks like she knows how to have a good time. We got there, set up tent, and it immediately started pouring... which is why having the Pub there is outstanding. We got some dinner (typical bar food of average quality) and beers. The pub stays open until the bar tender gets sick of you. There's a few pools tables and other activities there. As far as the rest of the campground goes, the facilities include pretty well kept. There's bathrooms as well as a shower room. The location is right near all the white water rafting companies and ski resorts, so you really can't go wrong there. My only complaint is that their quiet hours are really strict at 1AM, which I guess makes sense because you are in close proximity to your neighbors...

So this is now my 2nd posting because, the owner Paul, does not want my post here and keeps…read moredeleting it as though it never happened. I will post it everyday. TBH The owner's wife is very accommodating. If I could POST ZERO Stars, I would. The husband/owner is an absolute piece of crap. Let me explain. I called to reserve a spot for two nights and the wife graciously tells me there is one spot open on the river. I tell her great, without asking the price and reserve the spot on Thursday. I call back and explain I would like to drop off my rtt trailer 6X6 in my spot early in the morning 5am (without setting up) and on the other end of the phone is a booming voice the F*U*K he will and he goes off for about 2 minutes. Now mind you this is not my first time doing this, yet this guy continues to berate me over the phone, then when I ask to talk to him he says he was yelling at his wife. Ya OK. So I tell him that I was planning on driving almost three hours to fish the Deerfield with my son and ask to drop it off in the spot. YA YA whatever is his response. To be accommodating, I do not leave as I wanted to arrive at 5am as he didn't want me to disturb his other guests, yet wants to charge me for the first night even though I wouldn't be there. We arrive at 7am and wait until I see lots of campfires going and people walking around. At 7:15 I call the office line and he is angry already, saying I woke him up and that check in isn't until 12:00 noon, even though I have been charged for the previous night and had permission to be there at 5am by him and his wife. This guy lets me drive almost three hours with my son, then gives me wrong directions to my spot and drives down LOUDLY saying are you down driving all around my property. I calmly explain I used the directions they gave me and they sent me the wrong way. He then states that we won't be doing this again to which, I said what again. You are right. Then he says you can leave. TBH I was thankful, as the spot he "gave" us was sandwiched between 30+ other tents along maybe 250 foot stretch of river front, all of which were awake and up cooking and getting ready for the day. You are right on top of one another, so much so you can hear others' conversations just sitting there. I said no problem, just give me a refund and I will leave. F*u*k YOU. I will call the cops if you don't leave. Apparently he was waiting to kick me out knowing I was driving the 2.5 hrs+ to the camp site with my son, because when he said he was yelling at his wife, I said that was no way to speak to his wife, with a 1st time customer on the phone. So I drove to the office and called the number to get my refund, at which time he drove up, as I am calling out to him he looks back and slams the door and refuses to pick up the phone. Drove about 15 min toward N. Adams and expailned the situation to a couple of people asking for another campsite, both locals pointed me to two other sites, but both had similar experiences with the owner, husband - not the wife. Choice and descriptive words about him, my GOD! Locals know him I guess. Still had a great time in Western MA - went out to N Adams and fished the Hoosic - caught five brookies and 1 brown all natives. Spent the night near Sawyer Pond VT and found another FREE places to camp almost like RTT in the wilderness - State allowed. I got my money back by doing a charge back. If anyone has ever had an issue with this guy, all you need do is call your credit card company explain the situation, and if no services were received the Credit Card Company - against his will, will pull the funds and place them back on your card, even with his NO REFUND POLICY. He will then get charged a "CHARGE BACK" which costs him an additional $25-$50 per and he gets a mark against his VISA/MC account. Customer have rights and he cannot steal your money. So in the end, He lost $50 plus two night rental fees, for his effort, and we found a new campsite and fishing spot. Turned what could have been a terrible time into an adventure and made some good memories!

We stayed for three nights over Columbus Day weekend, the last three nights that the park was open. Though it was technically fully booked, at least a third of the campers didn't show up, leaving us with lots of privacy on our first two nights! The park rangers on duty over the weekend were helpful and incredibly friendly. The camping sites are perfect walking distance to all of the trails and a nice mid-point if you plan on hiking several in one day. We enjoyed the Busby trail as well as doing some exploring around Bog Pond. Our big regret was saving Tannery Falls for our last morning and being surprised by a sudden bout of rain. Oh well, it'll give us something to return for! We stayed at site #29, which shares a long pathway (sloped, so it isn't good for a tent, but would be great for a few AWD cars) with site #28 (a beautiful grassy spot that we'd prefer over #29). It also backs up (about 10' of woods separating them) to site #30, which is a small space looking out onto the one-lane road and up the hill to the bathrooms. All of the outer spaces were moderately private with trees on three sides of them. The spaces that are in the center of the park are, as others indicate, very much out in the open. It's a rolling apple orchard with very few trees in it, so it's excellent for RVs, but maybe not the best for tents. Finally, the bathrooms were well within what I'd expect for a DCR facility, though the showers were the dingiest that I've experienced (bring a pair of flip flops!). That being said, there was never a shortage of paper towels, toilet paper, or hot water. There are also beautiful large sinks outside of each of the two bathrooms that are meant for washing dishes. The dumpsters and recycling containers are located at the entrance to the camp site loop and are an easy five-minute or less walk from any of the sites.

That being said... I'm glad that we ended up in this campground. We only stayed here for one night so we could enjoy tubing down the Deerfield River during the day, and have somewhere to cook and sleep at night. This campground was perfect for what we were looking for and was much more quiet than the one I thought I was booking originally. I can't speak for all of the sites, but we booked site 21 and thought it was perfect. It's right on the corner of the access road and directly across from the bathrooms. Due to it being on the corner, it offered some privacy as we only had neighbors on one side who were a bit separated by trees. It was decent sized. We were able to fit two vehicles, two tents, and had enough space to sit around the campfire. The firepit comes with a grate which you can use to grill. Also the bathroom light stays on 24/7 which is helpful when you need to walk there in the middle of the night. The mosquitoes weren't horrendous either. For $17, it was great.

Mohawk Trail State Forest has a great campground with different options for families and couples,…read moreyoung and old, adventurous and more sedate vacationers. We camped there for 6 days this year from a Saturday. The Cold River (not too cold as the name suggests) runs parallel to a good number of campsites on the lower level of the park. We were camped 15ft away from a river which served as a beautiful backdrop that we could hear all day and night as it rolled over they my rocks that created small and medium pools that we swam/sat in. The bathrooms were clean and very close by which is useful with kids. There area by trails to hike or bike right in the campground area. The campground is also within very close driving distance to plenty if water based activities on the Deerfield River. We went on a guided inflatable kayak tour with CrapApple tours which was okay but for the money and freedom it is much better to buy/bring your own boat or inflatable float/tube and just float down the river. It is a gorgeous view and lots of fun. North Adams is a fast 20 minute drive and on a rainy day we took the kids out for ice cream and the scenery up route 2 was beautiful. It's Worth the ride to North Adams which is also home to Mass Museum of Contemporary Art. Mohawk was a great escape and we are already planning on returning next year.

At…read morefirst we weren't sure if the monument was anything more than just a monument, but you can actually climb up to the top like with a lighthouse. The door is closed but you can just open it and go in. The AT Appalachian trail runs right past the monument. It also follows the roads coming in and out of the park. There is a lodge at the top that you can stay in with a restaurant. We might have booked a room and timed our trip differently if we had known ahead of time. We did check out the lodge and bought a postcard. We initially rode in on the north road and it was very treacherous and poorly maintained, not a great choice for motorcycle. The south road was paved nicely but had a couple spots that were washed out so it goes down to one lane around those. But it is much smoother and easier for motorcycles. Bonus fact, if you look really hard you'll see some clue about where the American School of Wizardry Ilvermorny is hiding on the mountain. [wizard hat and wand emojis].

Make sure you stop by there for a wide array of travel brochures and displays that reveal the history of the park. It functions as a mini museum and it's FREE. They offer a couple of tours daily at the mountain summit. Overall, not a bad summit considering that it's New England. I'm accustomed to 14rs where I live. Park is clean. People heavy depending upon what time of day and year you visit. I visited on 4th of July weekend. It wasn't as people heavy as expected. The drive up from the main roadway is really nice. Beautiful area! I would visit this park for another opportunity if I'm ever in the area again.

Their website is a bit confusing, but I sent them an email and they responded within a few hours. Website said that we needed to bring our own pedals if we didn't want to use the clip in pedals, but that wasn't the case which was good. On the day that we were trying to rent the bikes, the website was randomly down. I called them and they were super helpful. Took down my name and set aside 4 hybrids for us. We were running late and I called to tell them that and the man who picked up the phone was a bit short with me on the phone. We finally got there an hour late. They happened to have put the bikes away since they assumed we weren't coming. But the guy there was super helpful and quickly got the bikes out and got us going within 10min. He was especially quick because he knew we were trying to catch sunset and were only going to be out for an hour and a half before it got too dark to ride. He even cut the price down from 30 to 25$ since we were going to be out for such a little time. We set off and within 5 min I had a flat. I called him and asked if I could get another bike if I rode back. He said to just wait there and he would come meet me. He rode a replacement bike out himself and met me within 5min. It was so helpful! We were able to return the bikes after the shop closed which was great too. Bikes were great to ride and helmets were good too. Sure the website could use some work (or be functional), and maybe some of the people there don't have the greatest customer service, but the person we worked with was absolutely fantastic and it was honestly the best experience I've had at a rental place in forever.

We arrived around 12:30 noon, paid, everyone got a wristband, took a tube (and life vests for the younger kids), loaded with the tubs onto the yellow school bus that took us about a 10 minutes ride to the upper part of river. By the time we got into the river to start, we can see the water rising quickly from the release of the water from the upper part of the dam. (No point to come too early as the water level was too low so you're not going fast down the river, until the water rises.) And that's where the fun & adventure starts! This place was well run, very affordable price (compared to other places nearby), the family running the place nice. There are 2 clean porta potties and lots of tables where everyone can have lunch after. Great fun to social distance and be in the water and the great outdoors. We brought strings to tie some of the tubes together for the kids. And we saw some people even bring their own paddles. Unlike some places, they aren't strict with what type of shoes you wear (if you want to at all). I was hesitant to take my family there due to some negative reviews but this place didn't disappoint. Highly recommend and we'll surely come back.

You can either strap the tubes onto your car yourself, drive up to the starting spot and tube down the river, and then they shuttle you back to your car, or they can drive you to the starting spot. It was about a 1-1.5hr tubing ride which was a perfect length. Had truly a great time, and ended with hot dogs and root beer floats!! Really a great find and a great deal, and happy to support a small family business.
