The place is not like it used to be. It was sold to a corporation and oh boy the Manager she should take some customer service classes. Others in the office are new and learning as they go. Prices went so high and now resort fees are being charged, I understand prices go up but I also believe improvements and upgrades are needed to show the increase, nothing has been done, other than pushing away seasonal and yearly clients. Been camping here since my kids were little about 15 yrs, started cabin then tent then pop up and TT now with grandkids. Loved this place unless things improve and the manager learns to interact with clients we might come back. Many other issues with a "sec guard" that is seasonal. We miss Greg. read more

This campground used to be one of the highlights of my summer, then got bought out by a corporation this year when we came for our annual Fourth of July camping trip. The bathrooms were disgusting the wood that they force you to buy was wet as in green not as in been rained on the pool was down the snack bar has been closed all while doubling. The prices of everything in the store is the same footprint with a different experience. All around everyone who I talk to seem to feel the same way and if this is their start, I would hate to see how the experience further's. We will be back for Labor Day only because if you cancel your reservation, they charge you 10% no matter how long it was read more

Prospect Mountain Campground - Rules of the new republic - Campgrounds Near Me - Granville, Massachusetts

Under new owners. They have been doing some good upgrades. Including some very nice cabins with Split systems included. They do have a pool and playground for the kids. There are 2 ponds one is good for fishing and possible paddle boats. read more

We booked a weekend in July for a very large group over 50 sites. I can't say enough about the campground. Everyone had such a great time. There was something to do for everyone. The cabins and Safari Glampers were super cute and comfortable. The staff was amazing, very helpful, patient and definitely went beyond the call of duty to provide us with great service. Several families have gone back to camp there since because they were so happy with the place. Looking forward to future events at Prospect Mountain Campground. read more

It will be hard to write this review without having the fellow campers impact what I say. Interesting crowd though. We had a nice area for our large group where we were able to put 3 campfires together with the tables in good placement for cooking organization. The mini golf there was a challenge for us, with our scores being higher than usual. read more

The website lists several amenities that are not open. There is no disclosure of this on their site nor do they disclose this when you book. You only find out once you're there and they refuse discount or refunds. This is not acceptable especially when there are children looking forward to these amenities and you have no way to know any different. Do not recommend this place!!!!! read more

This campground was a great place to be until it was sold to Blue Water Development, a commercialized chain of "luxury RV resorts" which with a quick google search you'll notice is far from luxury. The electricity is poorly managed with frequent power outages and sky high costs to seasonal campers. Add that to the propane costs that come monthly even when the tank in unused and remains closed at all times, and the yearly increase on rates and goods in the store. The events are poorly managed and often times lacking the supplies to accommodate which only hurts the kids when they find out their favorite event has been canceled or ended early. There are thief's that like to cut light bulbs from camp sites which management has done nothing to assist with a solution or catch the person. They have a "park ranger" who is also a seasonal, that enjoys the powertrip, and his beer throughout the day, to then work his shift intoxicated with multiple sources to prove with photo and video evidence, yet management is silent. Conflict of interest much? The playground is in dire need of repairs or updates with soft boards and exposed nails, the game room has been shut down, the basketball court has a deteriorating retaining wall supporting it, and the front deck of the main building is sinking into the ground on cinder blocks causing a very uneven and unsafe environment. The gazebo could use some work but with a new coat of paint, all problems are hidden, right? The pools coping (aluminum) is deteriorating and has rot holes which are very sharp and has been problematic. It used to be great. Management was on top of things, events were fulfilling and joyous, prices were lower, and voices were heard. Now, there's1 side of every story and the new manager has the audacity to lie straight to your face, as well as the "ranger". At the end of they day, I would suggest staying elsewhere. But after being a regular for 8 years, what do I know, right? read more

First time and last at this campground. Poorly marked streets and campsites. Less than friendly staff. Sites are cramped and overcrowded....especially now with COVID. We pulled right out and luckily found another campground. Stay away!!! read more

We went during the week before Labor Day and had a delightful stay. We left before the holiday weekend and felt like we had the place to ourselves. Nice hiking trail, plenty of wildlife sightings, and a very quiet and relaxing stay. We were here weekdays only, no weekends. I'm sure in season and weekends are a different story. I will go back again off season, but It's definitely catering to family's with children and long term renters. read more

We recently stayed here for two nights while attending the Big E this Fall. I must admit, we were hardly at the campsite! First of all we were coming in after work after hours. The staff was SUPER accommodating. They were closed when we got there but left us a detailed map to help us get to our site. We did get lost because it was dark trying to find our campsite, but that was our own fault! Our site was in the non-electric sites pond side. We couldn't pull our car in, but parking wasn't too far away. And fortunately we just needed our tent and sleeping supplies. Outhouses with electricity were located across the way from our site, but the spider living in there was way too big for me or my husband's liking, so we went to the larger facility closer to the entrance. These facilities were clean, but not very modern. We didn't use the shower facility this visit so I don't know how they were! The morning after arriving the campground had requested we check in, which was a quick process. We enjoyed the fair which was easy to get to from the campground. The campground had activities on site but we didn't partake since we weren't there for a while. The pond view by the site was peaceful and beautiful. We were the only ones on that side, but most likely in the summer you would be very close to your neighbors. So overall nice accommodating, family friendly campground! read more

Called following Memorial Day weekend desperate to find a campground with space. We stayed on a Tuesday night, but other local sites were all booked. My partner and I reserved a tent site with just water access. It was beautiful, right on the pond and the perfect size for two people. The site was raked out before (an absolutely amazing, unexpected bonus). It came furnished with a a picnic table and a dug out area for a fire. It additionally had a private path down to the pond and a rock to sit on and watch the wildlife. You could hear giant frogs croaking all evening and in the morning Canada geese even ran through the middle of our site! We had a raccoon visit in the middle of the night as well, so the area is full of wildlife and nature. We were very close to the bathroom (which are cleaned twice a day and wonderful). We also arrive late, around 5:45, and we're worried we'd be locked out. Though the camp store/check in area was closed, they taped our preregistration info to the door, with a map and all the campground rules. The staff workers were super pleasant and courteous. Outstanding customer service. There are only two critiques that I have: Each site seems to be very close together, I was glad to be there during a slower time as I do not believe there would have been much​ privacy otherwise. The second critique is how loud the camp staff transportation is. The golf carts are very loud especially when the sound travels so well across the ponds. We didn't take advantage of the pool, fishing, paddle boats, R/C Race car track, laser tag, mini golf, or any of the scheduled programs. But based on the rest of our experiences, I'm certain they're top notch. Ultimately, highly recommend this campground! read more

Extremely helpful staff. We ran out of gas and they loaned us some to make it to our campground. The owner guided us to our tent site and let us borrow a flashlight over night. Tent neighbors were so kind helping us with the fire. By 11 pm not a sound from any campers. After night one we decided to transfer to the cabin. The staff accommodated and for an extremely low price. They have great beer, wine, and snack selection. We couldn't ask for more! Cleanest bathrooms I've been to at a campground. They are very on top of Covid-19 precautions. read more

Prospect Mountain Campground - Two happy choppers - Campgrounds Near Me - Granville, Massachusetts

I will agree with the other reviews that since being bought out by the corporation this campground has made some interesting changes. While booking my stay I was notified that if I actually wanted to secure the site I wanted I would have to pay a very hefty fee, if not they could move me to another campsite. I have never experienced this before in camping, and figured it wasn't going to happen to us, but I was wrong. As our camping weekend approached, I was in fact asked to move from the site I originally wanted. My family and I were moved to a group site with another family. The group sites are wonderful, if in fact you are bringing many groups to camp with. For us, our site was literally on top of this other family, with no space In between our sites. The family next to us did in fact leave that night... shortly after we arrived( I assume it was because of rain, but maybe it was because of the campsite situation). The rest of our weekend we had enough space for our tent and car for us to enjoy our time. The weekend we were there was Halloween and the activities such as the hayride and trick or treating were enjoyable by my family. The young lady and gentleman who run the activities are wonderful. They were so patient and kind to everyone who participated. They were always smiling and willing to help. All and all we had a nice weekend of camping. I'm not sure we will return just because of the reservation policy and not being able to secure the site you choose unless you want to pay a lot more. I've never experienced this at any other campground I've been to and I would rather spend my money elsewhere and get what I actually want in the first place. read more

The overall look to the campground is nice. The setup is nice. My review is based on the time frame I was there. I checked in at 2pm and check out the next day by 8am. I paid for 3 nights but only stayed one. We were led to believe that there would be so much to do there. The website says they have Laser Tag, Mini Golf, a rec room and other fun actives. Sadly, the only thing we saw was the pool. After we unpacked our stuff and went out to see what the campground offered we notice that the ponds were not swimmable and the Rec room/mini golf areas were under construction. The website also says that there is food and shopping 20 minutes away. That is a lie; I drove for 40 minutes and did not find a thing. Plus you are in the boonies and get no cell reception. When I finally did get service I was told to drive another 40 minutes the opposite direction (back towards the campground). When I got to the store (Walmart) I GPS'd back to the campground and it said I was 45 minutes away from the campground (not the 20 minutes the website says). I agree with the other reviews they definitely do have a lot of people on golf carts. But with a speed of 5 MPH I would say a golf cart would be the best mode of transportation. I am sorry but my car doesn't travel 5 MPH it will roll at 5 but it won't go anywhere at 5. I got yelled at twice and they weren't nice about it either. One person yelled at me from the pool area, then gave me a dirty look as I drove past him. I am not sure if it was a guest or an employee. The second time it was as I was leaving and I think this was an employee. At that point I didn't care and just kept going at a bumpy roll. I sent them a complaint email and the response I got was you should have asked us and we would have told you. How about you leave some info in your cabins, so when new people come to your campground they know where they are going. read more

Probably the most disappointed and disgusted I've been in a while. We have been visiting Prospect Mountain Campground for the past 5 years, building relationships and creating core memories with our children. This year was a different story. It was the first year the family campground we have learned to love, sold to a Corporation (Blue Water Hospitality). They were constantly short staffed and many of the activities listed on their website changed last minute. The second day of our stay on July 16th (Pirate Weekend), my daughter came running out of Cabin #6 in fear. She explained there were 100's of tiny bugs on her the acreen of her Amazon Fire Tablet. When I entered her room, I found an infestation of either fleas or bed bugs on everything in the room. Books, jewelry, pillows, fans, stuffed animals...you name it. Sure enough, after a closer inspection...the bugs were all over the cabin. When I called the office to notify them of the situation, they sent a maintenance staff member to my cabin to inspect. The only thing he did was took a photo of the bugs and reported back to the office. Next the assistant manager showed up, and apologized for the inconvenience. She provided black garbage bags to gather all of our belongings and explained there was nothing available to accommodate a stay. So as my wife and I bagged everything into black garbage bags, my three children sat at picnic table confused and devastated as to why we had to leave two nights early. I made 4 trips to the front office to grab garbage bags for our belongings that afternoon. In the meantime, my kids remained at the picnic table outside the cabin, listening to the hayride pass by...that they weren't able to ride on. As I checked out, I was greeted at the counter by the new General Manager Chris. She was helping with nightly Bingo. When I introduced myself, she apologized for the inconvenience after "hearing about our issue." That was what bothered me the most I think. The fact that the new GM new about what occurred, and not once visited the site to check on my family. Not once did she offer staff to assist with packing up my car or taking down garbage. You would think, if a campground was never properly sanitized or inspected, and was the root cause of a disaterous situation leading to the early end of a family vacation...they would at least offer a full refund and an to take care of my dry cleaning bill...something other then just an apology. Not this campground. GM Chris explained, a refund would be issued for the nights we weren't able to stay during the remainder of the weekend, but not to expect it immeditaley because they were in transition from a family run campground to a Corporation. In the meantime, my car was loaded up with 20 black garage bags and 3 tramaurized children thinking they had bugs still crawling on them. This will be the last time we visit Prospect Mountain. Horrible customer service. read more

Great family campground! We drive over 2 hrs every weekend to come here (so worth it!). Yes, there are a lot of seasonal campers but all are friendly. It is pretty quiet in the area we are located and have never encountered a problem with other guests. The staff is extremely helpful and makes you feel very comfortable. They offer great weekend activities for kids, and offer a yummy brunch on Sundays (Mondays if a holiday weekend) for a great price. read more

Prospect Mountain Campground - Beautiful views - Campgrounds Near Me - Granville, Massachusetts

We stayed at PMC for two weeks and had the best time! The staff were friendly and helpful, and our seasonal 'neighbors' were very friendly. We found it to be a quiet and restful place. When we first arrived, our site was not level. The staff came with boards, blocks and even a step and leveled us out. Our absolute favorite time was between 1-2 pm. That's adult swim time at the pool. It was so nice not having kids cannon balling over your head! The campground was clean, the pool was also clean. We did not use the restrooms, so I can't critique them. A week before we arrived, we got a call from them asking if we would like to partake of their pig roast. The deadline to buy tickets was a week before we would arrive. The pig roast was amazing! The food was great! They also offer a breakfast buffet on Sundays. The sites are a bit close together, but all campers were friendly. read more

We are half-way through our stay at PMC and overall we are loving this place a lot. We rented a cabin which is comfortable and well-appointed. We love the fact that almost the whole campground is forested with lots of shade! Plenty of things for the kids to do, too. Couple of things that prevent me from giving five stars, however: 1) Smoking in the pool area. Totally disgusting. Get those butt buckets out of the pool area and put up big no smoking signs. 2) The fishing pier looked kind of scary. It's time to replace that thing! 3) Fire ring is disappointing. Its fine for a campfire, but can't be cooked over. The charcoal grill on the site was a nice bonus, but not a substitute for cooking on the fire. PMC should upgrade to use the fire pit/grill combination systems available at most of the state parks. Overall, a solid 4-Star cabin camping place! read more

I absolutely love this campground. Every time I go up with my friend I have such a good time. I love all the staff there. There is so much space and when you learn your way around it's super fun to go on walks or bike rides. I prefer this campground over any campground. read more

Always a great time at Prospect Mountain! Cabins are rustic but well equipped. Staff is friendly and helpful. Tons of stuff to do to keep the kiddos entertained. We will be back! read more

An ok campground. There are some very rude regulars who make the place lousy at times. Also lots of kids that apparently inherited not so great bloodlines because they roam around swearing and acting just as rude. A good portion of the population is very nice, but there is a larger amount of beer swigging swearing people than it may be worth. And there are more people here driving golf carts than a 36 hole golf course! read more

This is the 4th time I've been but this time was less then stellar. We were on an RV site that seemed to be the best route from the cabins to the rec hall, field, store, were. By Saturday we had had it with the constant stream of people traipsing back and forth through our site to get to the other areas. The final straw was when 2 teenage girls put their headphones in their ears when I requested they go around my site. I went to the office and they seemed to be aware of the group which was allegedly a church group. Also during the adult swim times suddenly no one spoke English and chose not to understand that if you're not 18 get out of the pool. After the 3 rd time of there being more kids than adults I gave up . We will be back but after the seasonal rush. I work with the homeless all week and drove 2 hours to get away from the mentality of entitlement only to have it follow . Overall a great , usually peaceful campground with many amenities. read more

A group of 10+ families have been coming there for a few seasons. This past time we were cramped into a sight was that not equipped to handle the size of the campers in our group. The size of the campers in our group was disclosed at the time of reservation. The site we were booked in did not have the proper electrical set up to handle the number of campers that are allowed in the site. The power was on and off at least 30 times between two days and it was especially hot that weekend. The owner came down and said he was aware that his current set up was not equipped to handle the amount of electricity required by the number of campers in the site but hadn't made the changes to the equipment. THEN why do you keep booking over the number of campers the equipment can handle. The previous time we stayed in another section and we lost power there too. NOT acceptable. Our group has decided to go somewhere else for Columbus day and the owner will not refund our deposit. Are you serious?!!! It's four months out and you will not return our money. That is completely ridiculous. What a crappy way to make things right after our last two visits with issues. DO NOT STAY HERE!!! We will be sure to tell everyone and anyone that will listen about your way of doing business and lack of customer service. Michele HIcks read more

Terrible experience. Manager was absolutely unengaging and rude. The pool was disgusting. I had camped there 10 years ago and had a great experience. The new owners obviously have not done any improvements. Iwill not return! read more

We have been camping here for years. Always a good time. Friendly staff plenty to do. Southwick MA is only 20 minutes away. There are restaurants and stores. The scoop is a great place to grab an ice cream only 10 minutes away. Six Flags NewEngland is about 35 minutes away. The Sunday breakfast buffet at the camp is great also. read more

I have camped here a few times a year for the last few now. Good staff and good grounds. Spaces can be close to others, but overall we have always had good neighbors. The facilities and store are great, pretty clean and always hot water in the restrooms\showers. They are strict on quiet time and 5mph speed limit. As long as you know that going in I don't see an issue. My kids and I always have a great time. read more

I really enjoyed my stay here. The facilities are very nice (the entrance was being pruned as we pulled in) and I was pleasantly surprised by the way I was greeted at check in- we were given a map with a daily schedule, briefed about the weekend's activities and provided with both the work day management number and the off hours emergency number. The bathrooms were clean and functioning. There was an amazing amount of wildlife and a lot of opportunity to "interact" with it, as there were plenty of fish and frogs in the pond to try and catch and two families of geese that were very people friendly. My kids had a blast just watching and feeding them. Our site was BEAUTIFUL (we had one next to a pond) and while there were some campers who were on the louder, crazier side, it was fairly quiet well before quiet hours began and in general we didn't have an issue with anyone. I do wish that there were a little more enforced supervision at the pool, aside from the lifeguard. I noticed a sign that encouraged parents to be with their children (which I assume is generally for safety reasons) but as my children are smaller and still learning to swim, I wish some of the older kids had been supervised more closely so that I didn't have to worry so much about my own being trampled just wading in the shallow end. I really enjoyed being able to get out of the sun in their great room. When my kids had had enough of the playground we went inside to work on some puzzles and played some air hockey. It was relaxing and inviting. Also- the store is well stocked and convenient. I really can't say enough good things about this place. I have been to a LOT of family campgrounds and it really does appear that this particular management team is paying attention- to every aspect of their grounds. Very impressed. read more
