This campground is NOT on the Deerfield River as I originally expected. There is a non-wooded…read morecampground with the same name about five minutes away that is located right on the river. 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.

They are an old-school, fully stocked "outdoor" store that harkens back to an era of local stores…read morethat seem to disappear, victims of REI's and Big Boxes, where staff are likely to be completely clueless about what they are selling. I stopped in for some gels and air canisters for my bike bag, and bent the ear of one of the bike shop employees who was more than happy to talk bikes. The store is a fly fisher's dream ( or money trap because of how much stuff they have!) - they are fully stocked with Skis ( even in summer!) - Bikes, Kayak/Canoe gear, hiking gear, camping gear - and topped with a knowledgeable staff. Worth a visit, worth supporting.

He is willing to work with you however makes you most comfortable. You can be very experienced or a newbie.

A few weekends ago I went on a group over-landing trip with @ridgeback guide service. This was the…read more"Craft Beer Run" in Vermont. During the trip we hit a bunch of local breweries as well as many local shops. The trip was perfectly planned and the trails were great. There was enough, technical driving to keep you focused, and more than enough scenery to keep you engaged. The trails/obstacles that required a bit more attention were expertly spotted by Ron and/or his crew. At no time did I feel like I was in over my head. Having gone on "self guided" trips before, I can tell you that having a pre-planned, guided tour from someone who knows the area, is worth much more than the cost of the trip itself. The campfire community every night was an added bonus. If you are on the fence about booking a trip with Ridgeback Guide Service, just go for it!! There are other guide services out there, however, Ron checks all the boxes, does everything by the book, is a wealth of knowledge in off-roading and adheres strongly to the "tread lightly" principles. I look forward to many more outings with Ridgeback Guide Service.
