Friendly managers at this campground set in pleasant surroundings. Shady, level campsite and clean amenities block. We stayed here for two nights so we could visit the Hancock Shaker Village at Pittsfield. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Price reflects KOA discount since they are now a KOA. This is the worst bathroom setup I've seen, with no room inside, only one shower and all pretty exposed. The campground itself was otherwise just OK, typical close together commercial campground spaces with a reasonable playground and swimming pool for the kids. It was a reasonable distance to the Hartford, Conn airport to pick me up and drop me off to get back to work. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a good campground. We stayed in the apple orchard area for July 4 weekend. The campers were friendly and there were many activities one could participate in. If its feasible it would be great to see the apple orchard have sewer hookups available. We will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I stayed at this campground the same time as the previous reviewer and like him I found it to be a pretty nice campground. Unfortunately thats where our agreement ends. I believe I camped near this gentlemen as the security was there constantly. What he did not mention is he was part of a group of 8 or 9 sites of people with no regard for anyone but themselves. The security was there due to their constant blaring of their music at all hours and their refusal to follow the rules. Every time the security came by they would turn down the volume. After complaining to the owners the next morning they apologized and gave us a Free Weekend and promised us "those" people would never return. I hope thats true and will return later this summer to take them up on the offer. I will review again in August. Other than that this park was pretty nice with a lot of activities for my kids who had a great time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground was actually a decent clean family campground. Very basic, however what made me add my poor review was the actual vibe I got from the camp staff. My friends and family felt like we were at an actual kids camp being watched the entire time. The people/owners are very rude, not helpful, and very disorganized with all the events. I felt like I was visiting a weird family compound... strange people. Other campers were very nice, however probably more for seasonals. We felt very out of place here and the staff were treated us with extremely rude personalities. I would not recomend this campground if you want to be bothered and watched by the rude staff. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
I would like to start off by saying that my family and I have been camping for many years all over the country. This campground is by far the worst I have ever experienced. The management staff are the rudest and unprofessional people I have ever dealt with. Although we were not allowed into the park, our first impression of the campground is that it does not come close to looking like the pictures online. We brought along our family dog for the trip (as we always do). The manager would not allow us into the park because we did not have our papers (we did have a current rabies tag). She told us "Go home and get the papers." Keep in mind we were not from just up the road. She would not let us enter the park and refused to give us our money back. The park does not look worthwhile anyway. This was by far our most unpleasant experience with a campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Pulled into the parking lot, signed in, went to our site, said to ourselves, this is no good, lets go elsewhere. We were not there 20 minutes. Decided to leave, they wouldn't give us our money back. Also it didn't look like the photos on the website.(There was no clutter on the website.) Hope this helps other travelers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The staff was unfriendly and the seasonals were very off-standish. I tried to attend bingo and was glared at and given the cold shoulder. The restrooms were filthy and there was slimy scum on the shower floors. The owner's wife seemed to have her favorite seasonal group and they could do pretty much anything they wanted. The regulars were often speeding around on golf carts and I had to step off the road several times to avoid being hit. Drinking seems to be the biggest activity there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We traveled to West Hampton Mass to Windy Acres for a 3 day weekend. It was advertised as a family campgroud with a fishing pond and many activities in a beautiful area. Well......the area of Mass IS beautiful until you turn into the campground. You first see a rundown house/office. The fishing pond is a stagnant body of water (no fish) some frogs and several pairs of shoes floating around. The beach( some dirt/sand) is now home to Canadian geese who pooped all over it. The restrooms were OK-small and looked clean after a new coat of paint. I think most of the campers are actually residents who live a lifestyle much to be desired. Everyone(including the staff that was identified by shirts) smokes and drinks beer all day long!! There were several men swearing very loudly. Each night there was a DJ dance that the entire campground could hear. The songs included lyrics like "drinking cocaine and whiskey" and something about "you're a crazy b----" This was at 7:30 at night when the children are out playing in the field and playscape. The swings were broken. I think the lodge hadn't been cleaned since last October becuase there were Halloween toys scattered over the floor. All around the outside of the lodge was a strong odor of cat pee. They had 2 inflatables that were moldy. On the positive side, there were lots of childrens activities such as arts and crafts, games in the field, scavanger hunt, etc.... However the "local" kids bullied the other kids-------Don't take your family to Windy Acres!!!!!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had the best time. Our kids loved it there and wanted to come back. The owners were great they let us keep our trailer on the site at no extra fee for the week. We came back the following weekend and can't wait for this year to go back. The pools looked great and the activities were fun. The foliage that time of year was wonderful. And very close to six flags. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

this was a campground I will not forget. For all the wrong reasons. It was by far the worst campground we have ever been to and we have been all over. The staff were unfriendly and sat around and drank and smoked. They looked at you like you had two heads if you asked them anything. The grounds were horrible. I felt like I was in the slums. We were camping there because of a family reunion and it was the closest campground. However, I wouldn't stay there if I had to sleep in my car with my six kids. They had nothing going on and the pool smelled. Don't even mention the playground. The bathrooms were small and old. We got in trouble because the shower curtains did not contain the water and and water got on the floor. Not our fault. Also, I left a toiletry item in the bathroom, went back to get it a few minutes later and it was gone. A staff member went in after us. I asked her if she found it. She said no. I think she took it. How low can you go. So don't go here unless you want your children exposed to undesirable people. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped here in 2002 & 2003 and we were very impressed with the turnaround the new owners achieved in one year. This campground caters to families and the owners have big plans for the future. We can't wait to return next year as they are
planning on adding 2 new swimming pools. The staff is great, my kids love the daily activities. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a wonderful campground if you're a loud, dirty drunk who may be on probation or waiting for your next court appearance. Foul language is a must if you want to hit it off with the natives. Should you bring your children with you, be sure to not bathe them for at least two weeks prior to your arrival, or they may suffer social rejection. Expect to have your coolers pilfered in the middle of the night, and do not expect your site to be respected, anyone can cross it at anytime, and don't dare speak up about it... someone may come and roll your camper over in the middle of the night while you sleep! Or maybe they'll just try to peek in your camper windows! As far as the management?... they have about the same respect for their neighbors as they expect of their clientelle. I've never seen anything quite like it in my life, and my kids certainly have a more colorful vocabulary as a result of our stay there! Maybe I'll look back at this and laugh someday!!! SOMEDAY.... MAYBE! We camped here in a camper.
