Overview
Bonnie Brae Cabins & Campsites offers a classic Berkshire camping experience in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. This family-owned park provides a tranquil, wooded atmosphere that serves as an ideal home base for those exploring the wonders of Western Massachusetts. Unlike high-traffic commercial resorts, this location focuses on a quiet, traditional outdoor stay where guests can reconnect with nature. The park accommodates a wide range of travelers, from long-term seasonal RVers to weekend tent campers seeking a peaceful retreat away from the city.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the heart of the Berkshires, the park is conveniently located just a short walk from the scenic Pontoosuc Lake. The surrounding area is defined by rolling hills and dense forests, offering a quintessential New England landscape for visitors to enjoy. Because it sits on the northern edge of Pittsfield, travelers enjoy easy access to local dining, shopping, and grocery stores while remaining nestled in a private, tree-lined setting. The high elevation and lush foliage make it a premier destination during the vibrant autumn season.
Amenities & Park Features
The park features a variety of site types, including full-hookup RV sites with both 30 and 50-amp electrical service. Each campsite is thoughtfully equipped with a picnic table and fire ring for authentic campfire evenings under the stars. Key facilities available to all guests include:
- Clean bathhouses with hot showers
- On-site laundry facilities for long-term stays
- Spacious pull-thru and back-in sites
While the park maintains its rustic charm, it provides level sites and essential utilities that cater to various camping styles and rig sizes.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Mount Greylock State Reservation, which features the highest peak in Massachusetts and expansive hiking trails. For those interested in world-class culture, the Tanglewood Music Center and the Norman Rockwell Museum are within easy driving distance. Water activities like boating and fishing are popular at nearby Pontoosuc and Onota Lakes, while the historic Hancock Shaker Village offers a unique look into local heritage and historic architecture.
Who This Park Is Best For
Bonnie Brae is an excellent choice for nature-loving couples and families who prefer a quiet, relaxed camping environment over a bustling resort. It is particularly well-suited for culture-seeking RVers attending the many Berkshire summer festivals who need a peaceful place to rest between performances. The park's central location makes it a prime spot for leaf-peepers during October or hikers looking to explore the nearby sections of the Appalachian Trail and other regional summits.

Magical Fall campground to use as a base to explore the Berkshires. Close to everything. Owner Dan is a treasure. Campground is different than the water-oriented sites we usually choose. Lots of cabins with guests that return yearly, sites are close together and area is heavily treed, so no Starlink. Yet the free park wifi was adequate for work and television. Property is like attending summer camp, nestled into a neighborhood, within walking distance of scenic walk at Pontoosuc Lake. We were visiting family during our 10 night trip, so we came and went. Felt safe at all hours. We are 32’ with a toad – internal roads are tight, requiring care with bigger rigs. Not used: Nice pool and plenty of child-friendly spaces, but in October, there were no children.

This is our second year at Bonnie Brae. Dan is an amazing host and has been super attentive both this year and last year. The setting is peaceful but close enough to town that we could check out a couple of breweries. Sites are clean & comfortable and we had a great time decorating for Halloween. We’ll definitely be back next year!!

We'll be staying there in July and wanted to check it out. Dan, the owner, was very gracious and allowed us to roam the area. The cabins are beautiful and the campground is small enough that family members scattered around the park won't have to go far.

This is our second year at Bonnie Brae, for a geocaching weekend of events, and we're looking forward to next year. The campers here are all very respectful to keeping their noise to a bare minimum. The showers and bathrooms are also kept clean by the management and other campers. This year the manager came to the rescue, when one of the pop-up tent stakes wouldn't release from the ground. With a thunderstorm approaching, he went for the needed tools and made quick work of that stake!

This is a lovely campsite in the Berkshires. It is very quiet and well maintained. The shower/restroom is area is being renovated but doesn’t interfere with showering. We had a great base for visiting nearby Stockbridge and the museum of Norman Rockwell. Just a short stroll down the street from the campsite is a lake bordered by quaint cottages.
