About October Mountain Campground
The October Mountain Campground is a popular destination for visitors interested in enjoying the countless opportunities in the October Mountain area. This campground offers visitors large sites sheltered by towering pines and evergreen trees, each with a fire pit and at least one picnic table to enjoy a picnic or barbecue in the shade of October Mountain. Each campsite is separated from the others by enough space and vegetation to provide privacy from other visitors. Hiking trails at the campground lead visitors straight into October Mountain State Park. The forest these trails course through is home to various wildlife, such as white-tailed deer, foxes, and other mammals, as well as many bird species of Western Massachusetts.
The campground offers large parking areas for cars and larger vehicles such as campers. Visitors should note that while the road to the campground is paved, it is also narrow and a bit steep. However, the facilities at the campground, which include full bathrooms and facilities, make this a worthwhile destination for staying overnight to enjoy the beauty that is the wilderness of the Berkshires and a perfect place to enjoy nature at the foot of October Mountain.
