Mohawk Trail State Forest Campground

The Great Outdoors

As the name suggests, you can find great trails to hike in Mohawk Trail State Forest - yes, the Mahican-Mohawk Trail is one of them. Following in the footsteps of Native Americans traveling to the Hudson River from the Connecticut River or vice versa, you can hike through the beautiful surrounding nature. If you don’t want to stray too far from your RV rental at Mohawk Trail State Forest, you can stick to the Todd Mountain Trail leading to the mountain - don’t worry, it’s still part of the Mohawk Trail.Just outside of Charlemont, you’ll find Berkshire East Mountain Resort, a place full of recreational adventure and fun. In the winter, you can do all the skiing you want, and don’t worry about equipment - you can rent everything you need on location. You can pick skiing trails of any level of difficulty, and even watch some races. Scream with laughter at the snow tubing park and just have the time of your life in the beautiful, white snow.If you rent an RV in Charlemont in the summer, you can still go on fantastic outdoor adventures in the area. Pretend to be a little monkey at the nearby adventure park - unless you’re afraid of heights, of course. If that’s not the case, then you can go on one of the zip line canopy tours and see the most amazing views of the forest and mountains, and if you want even more speed, then you can get that too. How about some whitewater rafting or mountain biking, is that fast enough? No? Then you’d better try out the Thunderbolt Mountain Coaster, which is exactly what it sounds like: a combination alpine slide and a roller coaster.
