About Fernwood Forest Campground
Fernwood Forest Campground is a family-friendly camping area rich with amenities in the heart of Hinsdale. The campground features over 40 secluded campsites for tents and RVs, and campers are available for rent. Fernwood is known for providing clean and well-maintained facilities that offer countless activities throughout the day and night. Volleyball courts, basketball courts, tetherball poles, and horseshoe pits scatter the campground, and a woodchip playground can entertain the youngest visitors. Additionally, the Plunkett Reservoir Beach is just a quarter-mile walk down the road, where it is easy to spend hours swimming, paddling, picnicking, and playing. Even on a rainy day, campers can enjoy themselves inside the recreation hall, with plenty of space for gathering, playing air hockey, or finding a tucked-away corner to read a book.
With so many different activities, the Fernwood Forest Campground is perfect for a family camping excursion in the Berkshires. In addition to the many recreational opportunities at the campsite, there is free Wi-Fi, hot showers, and laundry services, making Fernwood excellent for those looking to retreat into the forest without losing touch with convenient modern services. Campers staying for an extended period enjoy venturing further from the campground and checking out the many local attractions, including the Appalachian Trail, which runs just west of the campground and offers a full-day hiking experience for the more adventurous visitors. Nestled in the hills of Western Massachusetts, visitors can access endless outdoor recreational opportunities near the campground.
The campground can be accessed off Longview Avenue, where a red sign identifies the entrance. Since the campground provides multiple amenities and activities, it is primarily meant for people staying multiple days. Each campsite has a picnic table, stone fire ring, and drinking water spout. Reservations can be booked on the campground's website.
