Once the area that would later become Chester Blandford State Forest was stripped of all of its natural resources, lumber companies sold the land to the state of Massachusetts in the early 1920s. Massachusetts officially established it as Chester Blandford State Forest in 1924. The region laid largely disused until the late 1930s when Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), under President Roosevelt’s New Deal program, flocked to the park. CCC constructed a campground, pavilions, and lean-tos, and blazed trails, and built bridges and roads. They also replanted tens of thousands of trees. As a result of their efforts, native wildlife slowly returned to these woods over the subsequent years.

Getting Outdoors
Chester Blandford State Forest encompasses nearly 2,800 acres, so there’s plenty of room to explore. Hit the multi-use trails on foot, horseback, or bicycle and follow the winding paths as they wind and weave through these young woods. On a quiet morning, it’s not uncommon to spot a small herd of white-tailed deer flying through the woods. In early summers, shy black bears forage from wild berry briar bushes in search of juicy snacks. Other small-game creatures like raccoons, rabbits, and turkeys prowl the forest floor in search of insects and seeds to chow down.

The RV was as described and comfortable for my group of 6. Our host, Gilbert, was extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the whole process. His communication streamlined our trip and made it an amazing experience. He even gave us a parting gift to thank us. 100% highly recommended! Thank you again Gilbert!

I had a large family gathering at my home over Thanksgiving and needed more bed space, as well as a possible gathering spot for guests with pet allergies, and Jeff's trailer fit the bill very nicely. And it worked out perfectly for us. I was able to bunk 6 guests comfortably in the trailer without anyone having to travel anywhere but my driveway. Jeff was great about bringing the trailer and setting it up and then taking it away again. We had our first cold snap of the season, so the heating system was very welcome and warmed things up very nicely and quickly at bedtime. My young adult nieces loved the feeling of doing a sleepover in their shared double bunk beds, and my senior sisters appreciated the private queen space.
All in all, Jeff's trailer helped to make this Thanksgiving a particularly wonderful and memorable one. I definitely would recommend him!
