About
With abundant wildlife, lush scenery and waterfront views, Indian Hollow Group Campground at Knightville Dam and Reservoir offers groups and clubs a recreational oasis in western Massachusetts. This established group facility accommodates community organizations such as schools, scouts, and clubs with flush toilets, showers, and drinking water. The campground sits alongside the East Branch of the Westfield River, which is nationally recognized for its scenic qualities. The rivers and streams at Knightville offer excellent trout fishing, with the river stocked with trout in both spring and fall. Visitors can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding along several miles of trails and old country roads, including the 2-mile Claude M. Hill Horse Trail that connects the campground to the Knightville Dam area. The 6-mile East Branch Trail follows the river from Chesterfield Gorge to the Knightville Wildlife Management Area and can be accessed from the campground. In summertime, the open areas of the river basin have spectacular blooms of wildflowers that attract many species of songbirds and butterflies. This area is within a Massachusetts Watchable Wildlife site, and visitors may catch a glimpse of deer, coyotes, beavers, grouse, turkeys, or waterfowl. The surrounding hills provide prime upland game habitat, and hunting and fishing are permitted in accordance with posted restrictions and Massachusetts laws. Park Rangers provide interpretive programs on cultural and natural resources, water resources, water safety, and flood control.
