State parks charge more for less. - Quiet setting - Wooded sites - All sites have water and some have water and electric - Clean bathrooms and showers (only 2 of each but in 2 evenings, I never had an issue. I was gone during the day and not sure what it's like in that timeframe. it's not a large campground and there are multiple RVs and I suspect they use their own facilities.) - You will receive a welcome bag at check-in with a site map to help you get to your site, the rules and regs, a guide to The Berkshires, a large garbage bag, and a pen. - The On-site laundry is in a small cabin-like building. It is clean and has a table, two chairs, and many books - On-site propane station - Large playground, an entertainment pavilion, a rec room (I didn't use them so not sure what's included) I will definitely stay again if/when I'm the area.

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!

I spent four nights there and was very impressed with the welcome, the friendly and helpful campers nearby. Yes, the site I had was small, but everyone was very mindful of quiet hours. The bathrooms and showers were clean and neat. The owner often strolled through the campground to see that campers were enjoying their stay. For a small campground, it had a good combination of larger sites, as well as sites that were a bit smaller. The grounds and facilities were very well maintained. I would highly recommend it, and suggest booking early, since many sites are seasonal, and the others fill up quickly.

Country Aire also has a playground, an in ground pool with a slide, a volleyball court, a game room, a laundromat, and a camp store where they make delicious fresh donuts every morning. The bathrooms are clean and the coin operated showers are nice and hot - I've never had a cold shower here. The camp store sells wood and lots of other items. Wood is reasonably priced and we've always managed to find lots of sticks for kindling right around our camp site. Looking forward to returning here next season!

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.

First, most of the transient sites face each other. This means awning to awning. This is fine if you are camping with other friends. But for those single campers this can be challenging. In our example, the other camper had a dog that was unfriendly towards other dogs. This put both of us in a difficult situation because no one wants a dog fight. Thankfully we worked together and had no incidents. This also causes every conversation to be overheard by the other camper. It's really an odd setup that I have never encountered in 40 plus years of camping. The second concern was when we were leaving and lined up to use the dump station. First, there is only one station. While we were waiting, a worker was on a tractor with a portable dump wagon. He was in front of us and there was a line of campers behind us. When the manager came out of the camp store and asked us to move forward, I inquired if the worker was going to be dumping their portable tank. I was told "Yes." I said that seems odd seeing there are paying customers waiting to use the dump station. The manager said "Other people had paid to be pumped out." I said that I realize that but it doesn't seem wise to make people wait, especially when there is a line. Now I could understand if the portable tank was full (it was about half as it was see through) and the worker was going to pump out more campers. But this was not the case as the worker emptied the tank, washed it out with a garden hose, and then went and parked the unit on the side of their garage. The worker then mingled around the shop doing absolutely nothing important. The point here is that management did not care at all about their customers waiting in line. I can only guess that they had their money already so they did not care about the customers after their stay? We had planned on sharing this campground with our daughter and her camping friends so they could bring their kids and camp facing each other. But, after realizing that management did not care about their customers, I think it would be in poor taste for us to recommend a place that is disrespectful to their customers. Very poor customer service.
