I have been to ths nice state park many times. However the last time I went there, at a time when they were supposedly open, I could not find anyone. No employees? My plan was to camp for one night and fish in the Millers River. I later found out that the state of Massachusetts would not allow me to camp anyways because I did not book a reservation in advance. This pretty much ruined my trip and totly pissed me off! Very disappointed!

Nice area. Beach is pretty. Free day pass. State park and campground seem well managed. Lake is stocked with trout spring and fall. A bit too developed for our tastes with lots of vacation homes along the north side. Biggest downside is that they allow motorboats. Not the most peaceful lake, but still pretty nice.

Travellers, this is a lovely little state forest located in Erving. There are is a campground area, a day area with picnic tables and some barbecues, and then there is laurel lake, which is small and lovely. The beach is big and has a large swim area that is very nice. The walk down to the beach is charming, and there is plenty of room for a large crowd. The lifeguards were vigilant to the point of almost harassing a group of young folks. They need to chill. They made the afternoon tense yelling at swimmers. The scenery is lovely and worth the visit. Check it out. We recommend. TLDR - nice lake beach

Beautiful spot, lake was beautiful. We were camping (2 women) and some guys came to our site a couple of times, coming right up to our tent. They were driving round the campsite the wrong way around. We tried to go to the camp centre to seek help / notify them but they had gone early + there is no cell service. Ended up going to a local motel. Didn't feel very safe there unfortunately.
