October Mountain State Forest

About

October Mountain State Forest Campground offers rustic camping within Massachusetts' largest state forest at over 16,500 acres. Located in the scenic Berkshire Hills near Lee, the campground provides 44 wooded campsites and 3 yurts arranged across three distinct levels on a hillside. Every campsite is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and food storage locker for bear-safe food storage. The campground provides flush toilets, hot showers, potable water, trash collection, and an RV dump station. Eight sites can accommodate RVs up to 34 feet. The three-tiered layout means each level has its own bathhouse. Note that comfort stations are not ADA accessible. The surrounding forest offers extensive trail networks for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. The Appalachian Trail passes through the forest. Nearby attractions include Tanglewood and other Berkshire cultural venues.
