About
Mt. Greylock State Reservation's Sperry Road Campground provides a true backcountry camping experience at Massachusetts' highest peak. This hike-in only campground is located two miles from the summit and can be reached via multiple trails, including a 1.3-mile moderate hike from the Campground Parking Lot on Rockwell Road or a more strenuous 2.4-mile hike from Hopper Road trailhead. The campground offers 18 individual tent sites (4-person maximum) and 9 group sites (12-person maximum), with lean-to shelters available at Chimney, Upper, and Stony Ledge group sites. Each site is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and bear-proof food storage lockers. The facility provides solar-powered composting toilets and potable water during the main camping season. Firewood can be purchased from camp staff to prevent the transport of invasive species. For year-round backpacking, five additional lean-to shelters are scattered throughout the reservation at Deer Hill, Wilbur's Clearing, Bellows Pipe, Peck's Brook, and Mark Noepel. These shared-use shelters accommodate up to 12 people each and require no reservations or fees. Backpackers are encouraged to register their itinerary with park staff by calling the Visitors Center.
