About

Located on the downstream side of Knightville Dam on the East Branch of the Westfield River, this Army Corps of Engineers recreation area provides group camping and day-use facilities in the scenic Berkshire foothills. The Indian Hollow Group Campground caters to organized groups and civic organizations with dedicated camping areas, parking, bathroom facilities, showers, and drinking water. The surrounding area features miles of trails and old country roads suitable for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding through diverse habitats of old fields and forests. The rivers and streams offer excellent trout fishing, with both spring and fall stocking by Massachusetts wildlife agencies. Hunting is permitted in designated areas during appropriate seasons, with the surrounding hills providing prime upland game habitat. The Commonwealth stocks pheasants for fall hunting season. In summer, open areas burst with wildflowers, attracting numerous songbirds and butterflies. The area is designated as a Massachusetts Watchable Wildlife site, where visitors may observe deer, coyotes, beavers, grouse, turkeys, and waterfowl. The damsite also features a picnic area with tables, grills, and a group picnic shelter.
