Description

IMPORTANT: We are constructing a new bathhouse and new campsites at Pittsfield State Forest! During the construction period, please be aware that heavy equipment vehicles and the noise and dust associated with earth moving equipment and chippers will be present. We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to serving you this season.

Stream, waterfalls and flowering shrubs abound in Pittsfield State Forest. 65 acres of wild azaleas are a profusion of pink blossoms in June. The forest has two camping areas and a swimming beach. Fishermen frequent scenic Berry Pond, one of the highest natural water bodies in Massachusetts at 2,150 feet. The vista from the top of Berry Mountain is a striking panorama, a good place to watch the sun set.

IMPORTANT: MA State Parks prohibits the transportation of firewood into or out of MA State Park Campground facilities. Arriving customers must get their firewood at the campground. Firewood is available for $5.00 per bundle. Pricing may vary at campgrounds with camp stores.
