Mt. Greylock Campsite Park

Campground in Lanesborough, MA • 47 RV Sites

Mt. Greylock Campsite Park in Lanesborough, Massachusetts, provides a four-season camping base at the foot of Mount Greylock—the highest point in Massachusetts at 3,491 feet, a state reservation of 12,000 acres whose summit provides views across five states and whose Appalachian Trail traverse and monument-topped summit are the defining landmarks of the Berkshire Hills' outdoor recreation culture. The campsite park's pool, pond, and comprehensive social recreation amenities serve the families and outdoor enthusiasts whose Berkshire camping experience combines the Mount Greylock State Reservation's hiking and scenic driving with the extraordinary concentration of world-class performing arts, visual arts institutions, and cultural destinations that have made the Berkshires one of the most culturally rich rural vacation regions in the northeastern United States. The park's amenity roster covers recreation and social comfort comprehensively: a pool, fishing and swimming pond, planned activities and events, billiards, ping pong, horseshoes, basketball, volleyball, biking access, hiking trail connections to the national park system and state lands, a playground, dump station, propane fills, showers, bathrooms, laundry, firewood, and Wi-Fi provide organized recreation for multi-day Berkshire camping stays. The national park access nearby—the Appalachian Trail traverses Mount Greylock's summit ridge and descends to Williamstown on the mountain's north face—extends the hiking infrastructure beyond the state reservation to the full Berkshire Highlands Appalachian Trail section that the campsite park's proximity to the mountain makes most accessible. Mount Greylock's summit War Memorial Tower, built in 1932 on the highest peak in southern New England, provides the panoramic viewpoint across Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, Connecticut, and New Hampshire on clear days—five states visible from a single summit in the compact New England geography that makes Greylock's 3,491-foot height visually disproportionate to its absolute elevation. The Bascom Lodge on the summit, operated by the Appalachian Mountain Club with overnight accommodations and dining, provides the mountain summit hospitality that makes Greylock's auto road accessible to non-hikers who drive to the top for the views and the summit ecology of wind-flagged balsam fir and spruce forest that Greylock's highest terrain preserves. The Berkshires' arts and culture concentration within a 30-mile radius of Lanesborough is unmatched by any comparably rural region in America—Tanglewood, the Boston Symphony Orchestra's summer home in Lenox, presents major symphony concerts each July and August in an outdoor venue whose lawn seating and the surrounding Berkshire hills create the most celebrated summer classical music experience in North America. The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, the Clark Art Institute and Williams College Museum of Art in Williamstown, the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, and Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Becket collectively create the Berkshires' reputation as the country's most culturally intensive rural vacation corridor. Mt. Greylock Campsite Park operates seasonally from spring through fall in the Berkshire Hills' four-season New England climate, with the summer season from late June through Labor Day delivering the full complement of Tanglewood's music season, the museums' peak visitation, and the hiking trails' most accessible conditions in the mixed hardwood and conifer forest that covers Greylock's lower slopes. The fall foliage season from late September through mid-October is the Berkshires' most photographically spectacular period—the hardwood forest's sugar maple, yellow birch, and American beech create the color display that makes the Mohawk Trail Scenic Byway and the Mount Greylock auto road among the most photographed autumn drives in New England.
