Overview
Clarksburg State Park offers a peaceful retreat within the northern Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts. Spanning over 3,000 acres, this state park is characterized by dense hardwood forests and the scenic Mauserts Pond. It provides a rustic camping experience that emphasizes natural beauty over modern frills, allowing travelers to truly immerse themselves in the quietude of the New England wilderness while enjoying well-maintained facilities.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the northwestern corner of the state near the Vermont border, the park is surrounded by the stunning peaks of the Hoosac Range. The elevation offers cooler summer temperatures and vibrant fall foliage that attracts photographers from across the region. Its proximity to North Adams provides a unique balance between remote forest living and easy access to one of the state's most vibrant cultural and artistic hubs.

The campground features 45 well-spaced sites suitable for smaller RVs and trailers. While there are no hookups available, the park provides essential facilities including a modern comfort station with hot showers and a convenient dump station for self-contained rigs. Each site includes a picnic table and a fire ring. Visitors also have access to a designated swimming area, a boat ramp for non-motorized craft, and several miles of hiking trails.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless adventure at the nearby Mount Greylock State Reservation, home to the highest peak in Massachusetts. Art and history buffs should visit the MASS MoCA museum in North Adams, which is just minutes away. For a unique geological experience, the Natural Bridge State Park is a short drive from the campground, featuring the only natural white marble arch in North America and a picturesque abandoned marble quarry.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for dry campers and RVers who prefer a primitive, off-the-grid experience in a forested setting. It is a fantastic choice for nature photographers looking to capture the essence of the Berkshires and families who enjoy traditional outdoor activities like fishing and pond swimming.

Summer Jones
This is a great little State Park with mostly shaded camp sites and nice facilities. It is extremely quiet considering how close it is to North Adams, and you can almost always find a last-minute spot. This is our local "go-to" if we don't feel like driving to Vermont.

My favorite park in MA to stay at! Great location (both nature and town wise), decent amenities, and soon, Yurts! I only say one star as the trail around the pond needs a lot of work, I hear as a result of recent storms, but it looks neglected beyond some storms.

You can have an hour of hike around the lake. Great nature, refreshing.

Parking is good as are the facilities. The trails were mostly well maintained, but some sections going through swamped sections had their boardwalk removed or scattered, meaning you had to walk through the mud or water. I was hiking through here in March, however, and that may have been the result of the snow.

My wife and I went with family and friends and this is a very nice off grid camping location. There are places to hike and a great Veterans War Memorial close. The camp ground is quiet and wooded but we had very little trouble with bugs.
Samantha Hanson
Great campground with secluded location, hot showers, flush toilets, and a beautiful trail around the lake.

I spent a week here with my lady and it was great. The bathroom and showers were spotless and plenty of hot water when taking a shower. We spent the week fishing and kayaking. The staff is very friendly. I was very surprised by how few people were there. My lady and I felt like we had the entire park to ourselves. We will definitely be back.

A beautiful gem nestled in the land between the Berkshire and Green mountains. Camping is comfortable in the summer. Facilities are kept clean and are up to date. The trails are easy to moderate and can be walked year round. The pond and beach make it fun to swim and relax in a beach chair.

Smallish . 20 bucks for out of state visitors. Campsites 54 buck for out of state. Guess they do not want out of state people? good beach for kids

I've lived around this place forever but had never been. I was pleasantly surprised by the amenities.
