Two cabins and 11 tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side.

Cambridge sits at the Hudson Valley's northeastern edge, where the Taconic Mountains' western piedmont meets the Battenkill River valley's world-class trout fishing and the Vermont border. Washington County's rolling farmland and New England character make it one of the most rewarding and least-visited corners of the greater Hudson Valley. Saratoga Springs is 30 minutes away and Lake George 50. Summer and fall foliage drive demand, with Saratoga's racing season tightening area lodging. Reserve ahead.

Bonnie Brae Cabins & Campsites

Situated in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in the heart of the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites offers a comfortable base for guests exploring one of New England's most culturally and naturally rich regional destinations. The campground's cabin and rental trailer accommodations provide a furnished lodging alternative for guests who prefer a stationary retreat with access to the Berkshires' full range of outdoor and cultural offerings without the logistics of towing or driving a large rig through the hills. The campground's accommodation options—cabins and rental trailers—are suited to couples, families, and small groups seeking a convenient Berkshires base that does not require hauling camping equipment to a mountain destination. The property's positioning within the Pittsfield area keeps guests close to Pontoosuc Lake, where boating, fishing, and waterfront recreation are available just minutes from the campground, and Pittsfield State Forest, which provides hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing trails through diverse Berkshire woodland terrain. The Berkshire Hills landscape surrounding Pittsfield is defined by rounded granite ridges and hardwood-forested hillsides that produce among the most celebrated fall foliage displays in the northeastern United States. The Housatonic River valley below the ridge line gives the region its characteristic mix of pastoral farmland, forested hillsides, and small-city cultural infrastructure that has drawn artists, writers, and musicians to the Berkshires since the 19th century. Seasonal walking, wildflower observation, and wildlife watching through the campground's surrounding forest add a natural dimension to stays focused primarily on the region's cultural programming. The Hancock Shaker Village, a short drive from Pittsfield, preserves one of the most intact 19th-century Shaker communities in the country—a living history site where the distinctive Shaker architecture, craftsmanship, and communal agricultural heritage are interpreted through guided tours and hands-on demonstrations. The broader Berkshires cultural scene encompasses Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox—the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra—along with internationally recognized theater at Shakespeare & Company and Barrington Stage Company, and a dense concentration of galleries, antique dealers, and artisan studios across the county's small towns. Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites is open through the warm-weather season, with summer and fall representing the two peak periods. The summer arts season—anchored by Tanglewood's July and August concert schedule—brings the highest visitor volumes to the Berkshires, while October foliage season creates a second surge of demand across all accommodation types in the region. Advance reservations for cabin stays during Tanglewood weekends and peak fall color weeks are strongly recommended, as Berkshire County accommodations fill well ahead of those high-demand dates each year. The Housatonic River valley, which runs south through Berkshire County past Great Barrington and Sheffield, provides a scenic corridor for additional day trips and outdoor exploration for guests spending multiple days at the campground and looking to move beyond Pittsfield's immediate surroundings into the southern Berkshires. The Berkshire Hills themselves—the southernmost section of the Green Mountains that extend into western Massachusetts—reach elevations approaching 3,500 feet at Mount Greylock, the state's highest point, providing a mountain hiking experience accessible within a day trip from the campground.

Lake George Riverview Campground

114 RV Sites

The peninsula setting is the property's defining feature. Lake George sits at the southern gateway of the Adirondacks, where glacially carved ridges and forested peaks frame what is arguably the most classically beautiful mountain lake landscape in the eastern United States, and the campground has water on three sides. Summer is decisively the season in the Adirondacks, with fall foliage drawing a strong second wave. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and for peak color in late September and early October.

Mascoma Lake Campground

3 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 2 Tent Sites, 1 House, 2 Tiny Houses

On the eastern shore of Mascoma Lake in Lebanon, New Hampshire's Upper Valley region, Mascoma Lake Campground delivers a private sandy beach, full hookup RV sites, cabins, tiny homes, an A-Frame house, and the exceptional recreational access of a five-mile lake that provides swimming, boating, fishing, and paddling in a natural setting minutes from Dartmouth College and the vibrant commercial and cultural character of the Lebanon-Hanover corridor. For travelers who want genuine lake access, a sandy beach, and the intellectual energy of a college town within reach of the campground—all in the context of New Hampshire's spectacular summer landscape—Mascoma Lake provides an unusual convergence of natural and cultural amenities. RV sites include 30 and 50-amp electric service with water and sewer hookups, and every site has a fire ring and picnic table for the campfire experience that defines quality summer camping. A jumping pillow, gaga ball court, basketball court, and horseshoes extend the on-site recreation beyond the lake, and the campground's sports facilities provide activity options for days when the weather doesn't cooperate with swimming or paddling plans. Cabins, tiny homes, and the A-Frame house provide fully equipped alternative accommodations with air conditioning, full kitchens, bathrooms, and WiFi for guests who want the lake setting without tent or RV camping. Laundry facilities and clean shower and restroom infrastructure support the full range of staying styles the property offers. Mascoma Lake occupies a glacially carved basin in Grafton and Sullivan Counties along the Route 4 corridor between Lebanon and Enfield, where the lake's five-mile length and relatively undeveloped shoreline create a recreational experience that stands in contrast to the busy lakeside communities of the Lakes Region further east. The Northern Rail Trail, a multi-use recreational path converted from a former Boston and Maine Railroad corridor, runs along the lake's eastern shore and connects to an extended network through Grafton County—providing cycling and walking access to the surrounding Upper Valley landscape without requiring any additional drive. The lake's clear water supports excellent bass and perch fishing alongside the swimming and paddling activities. Lebanon and Hanover form the commercial and academic heart of the Upper Valley, the bi-state region spanning the Connecticut River on the Vermont-New Hampshire border. Dartmouth College in Hanover, just minutes from the campground, contributes the intellectual vitality, outstanding Hopkins Center for the Arts programming, and the Baker-Berry Library's Hood Museum of Art to a region that punches well above its population weight in cultural and educational resources. The Lebanon-Hanover commercial area provides excellent independent restaurants, the Lebanon Opera House, and the full range of services that support a quality extended-stay experience in this part of northern New England. Mascoma Lake Campground operates seasonally from late spring through early fall, with the lake swimming, boating, and paddling season at its prime from late June through August. The jumping pillow and gaga ball are particular draws for families with children between six and twelve who need additional activity beyond the beach. Fall foliage in the Upper Valley typically peaks in early to mid-October, when the sugar maples, birches, and aspens on the surrounding hillsides produce the color display that draws leaf-peepers from throughout the Northeast. Reserve your site, cabin, or A-Frame at Mascoma Lake Campground and let Lebanon's Upper Valley geography deliver one of New Hampshire's finest summer lake experiences.

Quinebaug Cove Campground

30 RV Sites

On a 420-acre reservoir in Brimfield, Massachusetts—in the rolling woodlands of the Quinebaug River watershed between the Pioneer Valley and the Connecticut border—Quinebaug Cove Campground delivers a full-service lakeside camping experience in one of the most scenically pleasant corners of inland New England. With a 60-foot in-ground pool, a five-mile canoe and kayak trail, beachfront with BBQ grills, full hookup sites, cabins, and a fishing lake that produces bass, trout, pickerel, and Northern Pike of record size, the campground serves families who want lakeside camping with comprehensive on-site programming without driving to the coast. The 420-acre reservoir is the anchor; the facilities ensure that guests who spend the whole week on the property never find themselves without something to do. Accommodation options include RV sites with full hookups covering water, electric, sewer, and cable TV service, tent sites, and cozy cabin rentals—a range that allows the campground to serve different travel styles within the same property. A 60-foot in-ground pool serves guests who want controlled aquatic recreation, and the reservoir's swimming beach with barbecue grills provides the open-water alternative for guests who prefer the lake. A five-mile canoe and kayak trail explores the reservoir and its coves, and a free boat ramp gives guests with their own watercraft immediate water access. Shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, a playground, and horseshoe pits provide organized outdoor recreation alongside the water activities. The recreation hall—equipped with an Xbox, Wii, and a kids' play area—handles rainy-day entertainment for families. Free cable TV at sites, free WiFi in the rec hall, and a full-service camp store with laundry facilities complete the on-site infrastructure. The reservoir's fishing is the campground's most enthusiastic draw for a specific subset of guests. Quinebaug Cove's 420 acres supports eleven species of fish, with Northern Pike of genuinely record size attracting dedicated anglers who have discovered that the reservoir's productivity in this species is exceptional compared to most New England lakes. Bass, stocked trout, and pickerel round out the fishing calendar across the season, and the free boat ramp makes launching practical for guests with their own fishing boats. The reservoir's wooded shoreline and quiet coves provide the visual backdrop that makes a long morning on the water genuinely enjoyable regardless of whether the fish are cooperating. Brimfield's most famous claim on the regional visitor calendar is the Brimfield Antique Show—held three times per year in May, July, and September—which transforms the Route 20 corridor into one of the largest outdoor antique markets in the world, with thousands of dealers and 130-plus fields drawing buyers from across New England and beyond. The timing makes Quinebaug Cove a natural base for antique show visitors who want campground pricing rather than Pioneer Valley hotel rates during the high-demand show weekends. Sturbridge Village, one of the most visited living history museums in New England, is accessible for a full-day family excursion to 19th-century New England life. Quinebaug Cove Campground is open seasonally and fills quickly for summer holiday weekends and Brimfield Antique Show weeks. Weekend programming including hayrides and organized activities for children and adults adds a social calendar dimension that keeps repeat-visit families finding something new each season. Reserve the lake-view hookup site early for summer, bring the fishing rods and the kayak, and let the 420-acre reservoir make the case for inland New England camping.

10 Acres Campground

15 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Lake Champlain is one of the Northeast's great freshwater inland seas — 120 miles long, studded with islands, lined with the Green Mountains of Vermont on one shore and the Adirondacks of New York on the other. The fishing is legendary. The scenery is the kind that makes people pull over on the road and just stare. And 10 Acres Campground in Addison, Vermont is sitting directly on 650 feet of that legendary lakeshore, one mile south of the historic Chimney Point bridge crossing, waiting to become your home base for everything the Champlain Valley has to offer. Grassy sites here run the full spectrum from 50/30-amp hookups to screened lean-to sites that offer a bit of weather protection for tent campers who want character with their camping. The campground is genuinely lakefront — not a half-mile walk to the water, but right there on the shore, where morning mist rises off the lake and the fishing action begins at first light. Hot showers, a coin-operated laundry room, and high-speed Wi-Fi keep the practical side of the stay comfortable, while a dedicated swimming pool gives families an additional water option alongside the lake. Fishing is the campground's primary identity and its greatest strength. Lake Champlain supports some of the best warmwater and coldwater fishing in the Northeast, with walleye, bass, pike, and lake trout all present in fishable numbers. The campground offers direct lake access, and boat launches nearby make getting out on the water straightforward. A dedicated fishing pond on the property provides a close-range option for younger anglers. Throughout the season, the campground hosts fishing derbies, chicken barbecues, pig roasts, and themed camping weekends that give the property a community-gathering energy that goes well beyond simple overnight parking. The Chimney Point State Historic Site, just a mile north on the bridge road, preserves the archaeology and history of one of Lake Champlain's most significant colonial crossings. The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum in Vergennes is within easy driving range, housing an extraordinary collection of underwater archaeology and maritime heritage. Middlebury, Vermont — fifteen miles east — offers a beautiful college town with excellent restaurants, bookshops, and the Robert Frost Stone House Museum. The Burlington waterfront is a longer but rewarding day trip north. 10 Acres operates seasonally, opening in the warmer months when Lake Champlain campground conditions are at their best. Early summer is ideal for bass fishing, while the fall walleye run draws dedicated anglers who time their trips accordingly. Weekend reservations fill early throughout the season, particularly around planned events and the long summer holiday weekends. If fishing on a legendary lake is on your bucket list, Addison, Vermont in midsummer makes a compelling case. Reserve your site and bring your rod — Lake Champlain is right there waiting, and it's one of the finest freshwater fishing destinations in the entire Northeast.
