I wanted to give a glowing review to one particular employee: Jameson, the park interpreter. We rented out the pavilion for a family bbq and he came by to speak to all the children (and adults) about local wildlife. He brought items for the kids to touch and hold for example: moose antler, pelt, tortiouse shell and animal skull. He fielded our many questions and paid attention to every kid. Overall: this is a basic MA campground, good for a beginner camper or kids! Small sites but everything is well maintained and rangers do rounds at night to make sure no ones goin wild! Bathrooms are neat, but auto flush/sinks are loud if you're in the nearest sites. Hiking trails, but the pond is usually closed. It's a 5 minute drive to the large lake dennison and your parking tag works there too - its great swimming!

We were there in early May so it was not busy. We rented a yurt which was great because rain came through. We also had medical equipment so having electricity was really nice although they don't guarantee it's reliability. Staff was very nice. Lots of areas to walk. The spring wildflowers and migrating warblers were wonderful.

Very nice campground, clean facilities, beautiful trails. Rangers on site are helpful and courteous. Dog friendly.

Very clean campground. We stayed in site 52. There wasn’t a lot of privacy from neighbors in this spot, but we got lucky and didn’t have many people around us. The bathrooms were clean, spacious, and had free showers. The bathroom near us also had a large sink outside that was perfect for washing dishes.

Great park, no sticks though
Paul Sarapas
It’s a really beautiful spot to hike, do a day trip or camping in summer. Sites go quickly as much as a year ahead. If you come in the off season be prepared to walk in about a quarter mile

This state park is beautiful. Quiet, easy getting around, you can really enjoy nature. Great hiking, fishing, and just plain relaxing.

We spent the past weekend in yurt 3 and loved it! Such a great price for the yurt and a beautiful state park. Every employee we interacted with was very nice. Park and facilities were clean and showers were free, hot and had great water pressure. Pond near the campground was closed to swimming due to elevated bacteria levels, but our campground pass got us into Lake Dennison for free. Lake Dennison was gorgeous. Would 100% come back!

Peaceful. The pond is little. There is a stream that runs through it so the top water is warm but its very cold water below that layer. The forest is nice is with walking trails. Decent bathrooms. Because its a smaller campground people are typically quiet. The only real downside is that its near a major road and during the day you can hear lots of cars but at night there's less traffic so its okay.
