Beautiful and Private Berkshire Escape

3 sites · RVs5 acres · Monterey, MA
Are you looking for a beautiful spot in the Berkshires to park your RV or pitch a tent where you can enjoy the beauty of the area, while being close to all of what the Berkshires have to offer? We are RV campers and know what it is like to find a spot that we want to return to year after year! Funny how our favorite spot is right here on our own land! We wanted our place to be toxic free, without smart meters, wifi or lots of cell phone towers (cell reception is ok, just not perfect!) We have found that the beauty of camping is enjoying what matters most, being in nature, meeting new people, and enjoying the natural beauty of the places we visit. There is plenty of beauty in our town, and all around the area, including mountains and lakes, and theater, great restaurants, and shopping, too! Or you can just chill and cook out at your camper and enjoy swimming at the nearby lake. We hope you will check us out if you like the sound of that kind of camping experience. No bells and whistles and no city noise. Just a quiet place to enjoy nature while exploring the Beautiful Berkshires. We have a spot for your RV or tent for the summer season in the Berkshires, in MA. We are close to a town beach on a beautiful swimming and fishing lake, and many hiking trails near the Appalachian Trail, as well as all of the cultural destinations in the Berkshires. Level spaces for RVs under 30' and limited tent sites. Access to fresh water and electricity, with picnic area. We welcome indoor cats, and small, quiet dogs on leashes, but cannot host larger dogs. Beautiful partially wooded/open setting just minutes from Great Barrington, Lenox, Tanglewood, Lee Outlets, Jacob's Pillow Dance. Hosts offer additional amenities.

Camping in Massachusetts with horseback riding guide

Overview

New England’s quintessential state, Massachusetts is chock-full of outdoor opportunities. Whether you go camping close to Boston or explore RV campgrounds in the state's west, you can't go wrong at a Massachusetts campground. Try an RV resort to experience the best of Cape Cod, or if you prefer freshwater to saltwater, rent a tent campsite at a state park to unwind. History buffs will want to spend some time south of Boston to hike around Plymouth and other historic towns.

Where to go

Cape Cod

Beaches along Cape Cod come in all sizes and styles, from the romantic to the family-friendly. Family camping thrives in the area. Drive your RV to Scusset Beach State Reservation on the southwest edge of Cape Cod Bay. If glamping is more your speed, head to Falmouth, Martha's Vineyard, or Nantucket for a getaway along the Atlantic Ocean.

Plymouth

Stop in Wompatuck State Park en route to the Pilgrim Memorial State Park. The latter is a must-stop for United States history enthusiasts, while campsites in Myles Standish State Forest offer everything. Tent and RV campgrounds come with access to hiking trails, as well as opportunities to ride horses, bike, and sail. In the snowy months, you can even snowmobile or cross-country ski.

Salisbury Beach State Reservation

North of Boston, Salisbury Beach State Reservation sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Merrimack River. RV parks come with electric and water hookups, while the gorgeous purple sand beaches of Plum Island are just a stone’s throw away.

Inland Massachusetts

The coast gets all the credit, but Massachusetts is more than its beaches. Inland, you’ll find the Quabbin Reservoir, which boasts beautiful views and trails. Head further west, and you’ll encounter Peru State Forest or Granville State Forest, where surrounding campsites are a hiker’s dream.

When to go

When it comes to New England camping, it’s a safe bet to seek out the summer weather. However, popular places like Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard are often crowded in the summertime. So if you prefer seclusion to the sun, book your rental in the shoulder-seasons. You may not be able to swim, but there’s never a bad time of the year to gaze at the ocean.
