I always enjoy visiting this campground! My cousin stays here seasonally, and it’s such a great spot. The pool is clean and perfect for relaxing on warm days, and the scenic views around the campground make it feel like a peaceful getaway. There’s even a convenient country store on site, which is super handy for little things you might need. Best of all, it’s a quiet, relaxing place to stay and perfect if you’re looking to unwind and enjoy nature. Definitely recommend checking it out!

"Rooms"=sites. Sites are fairly large, level, decent privacy. Lots of shade if you want it, or open lots/sun if you want it. Roads are primitive/not paved, so you have to go slow/be careful. Not all loops have a bath house or laundromat. Activities are OK; some are kind of new/different. Yet they're missing some campground favorites, such as a Camp Olympics or site decorating contests/themed holidays. Camp store is pretty good. Pool is nice & clean. You're in a good spot between Worcester & Leominster to be able to hit local attractions/events. Price is good; can camp for a night or a season.

I stayed at Pout and Trout last week during my thru hike of the Midstate Trail. It was such a relief to get a hot shower and be able to fully charge all of my electronics with an outlet right by my tent. The staff were super helpful too, and flexible about my arrival time which is really important when you're on foot! Highly recommend to hikers.
