Rating: 8 3 6 9 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: What a great park. only thing to make it better would be sewer hook up at sites. The sites were fairly level and gravel and beyond roomy. Wifi was a superb good thing as there is no ota TV. Verizon cell service was 1x so no sending pictures via text. Very close to Bennington, VT and a great ride to Saratoga battle fields for some more history. 5 covered bridges within 25 miles. Great motorcycle riding everywhere. - RTShelar
Stayed here once before (reviewed once before too) and the stay was decent so decided to stay again. Seems the son is running the show this time around, with mom and dad making appearances. The entire process of booking a site is a headache ... you have to call, and call again as they don't answer the first time around. No credit cards, you have to mail a check and only when they receive and cash it is your reservation confirmed. We did not pick a site but when we arrived they apologized that our site was taken and asked us to chose the field or the pond - we have two little ones and the sites along the pond were small and the slope to the pond steep so we opted for the field. They parked us directly beside the dump station and the "field" is the septic leech field! Talk about cheap! Making their visitors camp next to their @*&!#-tanks which smell!! When we commented to them that the site smelt the son looked appalled and said "our customers @*&!# doesn't smell". The field was also VERY windy and VERY sunny and hot. We could not use our awning as shade due to the wind. We came with a screen house for shade but had to go to extremes to tie it down which ended up breaking it. The other sites, oddly enough, had NO wind! The weekend was a mess and we will not be staying here again. - Fab4

Rating: 7 8 8 3 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This was a one night stop for us. First. The campground is one of the cleanest quietest ones we've stayed in. The staff could not be friendlier and more helpful. We had to change our travel plans and we thankful we got a reservation. However our site was in a grassy group area. Luckily we have an EMS on our rig. The voltage dropped to below 110 amps several times. I'm sure when the the EMS cut the the power it kept us from having major electrical problems. - PRG
Very basic campground nestled into the pine trees of Southern Vermont. Sites are in a circular pattern around a nice fishing pond with the FHU sites on the east side up on a terrace. There is a lighted fountain in the middle of the pond. Electric, water, sewer, cable TV and WiFi worked well. They have just upgraded the WiFi system and I saw speeds up to 27mbps occasionally. Provided cable TV has channels 2 thru 13 which includes two PBS channels. Additionally, Vermont Public TV is available over the air because a VPT set of channels is broadcasting from Pownal. Verizon voice and data are one bar. I had to step outside the MH to make phone calls. Our experience here was positive and we would come here again if we are in the area. - moderate camper

Rating: 3 8 10 9 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: For $20 per night - no water, electric or sewer at site. Gravel road and uneven gravel sites also very close together. Bath had only cold water sink, no way to dry hands, shower was pay as needed - $1.25 for 12 min. We stayed there because to use the RV Dump was $15, highest cost to dump we have seen. Restricted hours to run generator, 4-6 pm and 8-10 am. We have stayed in State Parks in other states, cost varies depending on state but this was the most money for the least. - Broda2675
Great Vermont state park. There are 3 loops. Loop one is busiest with older bathhouse (only 1 shower each for men/women). Sites toward the road appeared to be larger. Site 3 was most private and quiet. Modern bathhouse with 4 showers. All coin operated .50 for 5 minutes. Great pressure and hot water. Ice and wood reasonable price at gatehouse. Kayak/canoe rentals for $10/hour. Public swimming beach. We stay in site 64 (loop 3) for 2 nights and then moved to site 14 in loop one for 2 nights. Preferred loop 3 for the peace and privacy. Lots of outdoor activities in the campground and area. - CDG
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Woodford State Park »A beautiful place on the side of a mountain overlooking a lake. The "preferred" sites are directly on/above the lake. Very quiet, very serene, very Vermont (at least during the week in September). Swimming off a sandy beach and canoe and kayak rentals. We (a dog and her old man) were in a totally private site, overlooking the lake, in our 22' RV. - Sterling Allen

Rating: 7 1 1 7 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Road still very bumpy. Bathrooms dated, but clean. Nice back-in grass site with lots of room. Came across the Green mountains instead of taking Mass pike and this was a good first night stop for our trip out west. - NH Hiker
This place was the worst place we have ever stayed at. Still loaded with potholes, site not level, & some of the permanent season sites were nice but then again some needed serious improvement. Got sewer but when dumping - it flowed out on the ground. Thinking it was just a shallow hole in the ground & not a proper sewage disposal. Nasty!!
The only good thing we can say is there is a creek within walking distance so we took our wine/beer there to unwind. The trailer with leanto next to us was not something we cared to observe.
Read the reviews, wouldn't recommend, & would rather park at Walmart without amenities. - gwchoiceView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Aqua Vista »Where do I start. I always avoid staying in parks that haven't been reviewed within a year of our visit. Made an exception because we really needed someplace to stay on our way through area. I looked for the improvements mentioned in the last post but I can't find them. Called in advance for reservation and was told it was off season so rate would be 30.00. Gentleman who checked us in couldn't use credit card machine so I wrote a check. We requested a pull through with full hookup. We got water and electric. Good news site was relatively level. Also told the restroom/showers were closed because they just painted the floors. I can't begin to describe the permanent trailer and lean-to next door and I certainly can't write how my husband described it. My suggestion would be to find a WalMart to stay in. - beach walker

Rating: 8 8 10 8 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Visiting the park just one week before they close for the season. Only 3 other sites occupied this weekend. My husband grew up in the area and has fond memories of the many family camping trips to Clarksburg State Park (or Mausert's as they called it). Very small campground. Quiet. Very nice restrooms/free, HOT showers. We stayed in our Roadtrek (class B, 23') in sight 22. Fit fine but be warned lots of road noise. Next time we'll opt for site 38 or 42. The pond view sites are very nice but tents only. Price is high at $27. Office offers wood at $5/bundle. Ice, groceries, etc. just a bit up the street at Billmont's. Chilly weekend so we didn't bring the kayaks but we saw one couple canoeing. Good location for seeing all the area has to offer. - CDG
Nice little state park in northwest Massachusetts. Like other Massachusetts state parks there are no hookups at the campsites, but I was surprised to find that there is no dump station at the park. I was informed that, if needed, I could utilize the dump station at Savoy Mountain State Forest about 10 miles west off of Route 2 with a valid hang tag from Clarksburg.
We booked late for Memorial Day weekend, and Site 31 was the only one that would fit our trailer. It might have worked better for a little pop-up, but we had a tough time getting our 21' trailer in the 23' max spot. The level pad area and driveway were angled the opposite direction you would want for the approach from the one-way traffic loop. Walking the campgrounds, most of the sites had better approaches, and I figured out why #31 was the last one available.
Nice hiking trails through the woods and over many wet and marshy lands. Good views of the pond along the way. Paved loops connect the camping sites and it is a quick walk around to do the figure-8 loop. Not worth bringing bikes for this campsite, unless you want to ride that figure-8 loop a bunch of times. - malsburyView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Clarksburg State Park »Big sites, quiet and friendly.

Rating: 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Broken Wheel Campground »Quiet! 4th of July weekend and they shot off fireworks in one of the fields which was a neat surprise. The CG is back from the road and located behind hay fields. They had cut the hay just after our arriving so we had some itchy eyes until the rain came, but it was OK. What we found disheartening was that we booked and paid a month ahead of arrival and all they could come up with was a site along the edge of the hay field. This, on the hottest weekend in the area this year! It was ALL sun all the time and too hot to enjoy being outside. We were going to complain but thought twice when we looked around and realized our site was larger than most. We had our camper and two vehicles, screen house and canopy and still had room to spare! By far the largest site we have ever stayed at. All the other sites were jammed together so close their awnings practically touched. MANY seasonals but they seemed nice enough. We enjoyed to pool. We had two little ones with us unable to swim, and were able to use pool floats. Though had to leave the pool once due to some older children who kept jumping into the water, creating waves and splashing my children who got scared. Their parents were no where to be seen. One child had a large pool float and kept bumping into my 4 year old, causing him to go under water once. There was wifi, supposedly, but we were never able to log on. Located between several mountains,, there was NO TV reception and NO radio reception. Not the CG fault but having wifi connection would have been nice. Kids loved the playground. We enjoyed the smooth dirt roads for them to ride their bikes along. - Fab4

Rating: 9 5 10 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Great wooded site (#34) we could hear the river that was a short walk thru the woods. The owners/staff are very helpful and friendly. The fire wood that they sell at the camp store was some of the best that I've bought at any campground, it even comes with 2 firestarter sticks. - GeoG
This is a large campground with a lot of trees. The roads are packed dirt as well as the sites. Heavy rain made it rather muddy. Each site is reasonably level, but it varies from site to site. Most sites are heavily treed, with little sunshine. Makes for a cool, comfortable setting without ac. There are some sites located around an large open grass area that receive more sun. The campground borders the Battenkill river with good access. A lot of tubers, waders, and kayaks. Any fishing is pre or post "tuber hatch". There are 2 areas with seasonal/permanent residents. Many sites are for tents, pop ups or small trailers. Point of contention. I know I booked a FHU site, but when I arrived it was 30 Amp, no sewer. The host explained I did not book a FHU site. Apparently, it is "common" in the NE to request a FHU and not get one. They offer a dump station and portable dump tank instead. There is only one restroom with two toilets and one shower for a very large area - not nearly adequate. The rest rooms are "surface clean", not too thorough. Overall, it is a beautiful setting, mostly quiet, and peaceful. It is "family friendly, so a lot of kids running/biking around. Even with the several complaints, we probably would return. - Pacatrader

Rating: 8 4 6 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Was here for a T@B rally 9/24-27. Campground run by city of N. Adams. Some sites power was at a distance and needed a long cord to plug in. Site 1&2 are small tent sites @$25 a night. Other sites $35-40. Campground host was very friendly. - Trub
This park is long in the tooth and in need of a serious upgrade. At my first assigned site, I couldn't find the electrical outlet. Finally, it showed up, about 75 feet from my site. Electrical panels were shared by two sites, so only one got 30 amp service and the other 20 amp. Sites consisted of white coarse sand and gravel that stuck to everything. To get into the park after 4:30 pm, you had to put down a deposit for a tab to get in, even though the entrance gate had the capability of accepting keyed in numbers. Finally, using a credit card involved a $2.50 fee for the privilege. The campground is on the side of a steep hill (like much of the area). Staff was nice and helpful, but nothing can overcome the deep need for an overhaul. If there were no other campground in the area, we'd stay here again, otherwise probably not. - Jay Rutherford
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Historic Valley Campground »Town-owned campground and nearby lake are most acceptable, terrific pavilion, fishing and non-motorized boating, right in historic North Adams. Do not let your GPS take you up Mt Everest approach. Come in Route 2 to East Main St and left onto Kemp. Very friendly staff, good security. Can get very busy, suggest reservations. Appalachian Trail and other hiking nearby. Close to beautiful Williamstown and terrific art galleries. Our rate was with a rally. Temporary power problem required some caution: should be fixed soon. We would stay again. - Wheelbarrows

Rating: 3 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Battenkill Canoe & Kayak (formerly Battenhill Riversports) »We were here over Labor Day for a family camping/tubing weekend. We had been here a few years ago and loved it. Since then there has been a change in management and not for the better. The bathrooms were disgusting - I didn't have to use them but we had two couples with us that were tent camping that did. They were filthy. The sites were grassy which would have been nice except that the grass was quite tall. The roads were full of huge ruts that were full of muddy water. It would serve them well to invest a little money and fill the ruts in with some gravel. The ground was very soggy and all the standing water brought out the mosquitoes. We chose this campground because they offer tubes and transportation for the Battenkill River, but they ran out of tubes so we had to rent from a place down the street and provide our own transportation. This place has the potential to be a great place, but unless they make some improvements, we won't be back. Be sure you call for their pet policy; dogs not allowed on any tent sites, only the RV sites. - Bonnie66
