Overview

Description

IMPORTANT: Mount Greylock offers a primitive hike-in camping experience with private wooded sites, nestled under a mature red spruce forest. The campground is located two miles from the summit with scenic and natural beauty all around.
Important: Hiking is the only way to reach the camping area.

Geography:

At 3,491 feet, Mount Greylock is the highest point in Massachusetts offering spectacular views to five states. Mount Greylock is considered Massachusetts first wilderness park with 400 acres acquired by the Commonwealth in 1898. Since that time, the park has grown to over 12,500 acres. For years, Mount Greylock has inspired artists and writers, including authors Herman Melville and Henry David Thoreau.

Recreation:

Mount Greylock has over 70 miles of designated trails for day hiking, backpacking, back country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling, including an 11.5 mile section of the Appalachian National Scenic trail.

The primitive hike-in camping area (located on Sperry Road, approximately 2 miles from the summit), offers a car-free experience with private wooded sites. Hiking is the only way to reach the camping area. From mid-May to mid- October, the easiest way to reach the campground is via the campground trail- a 1.3 mile moderately strenuous hike. This trail begins at the Campground Trail overnight parking lot located five miles north on Rockwell Road from the Mount Greylock Visitor Center in Lanesborough.

Off-Season / Winter Camping is not permitted at the Sperry Road Campground. Please contact Mount Greylock Visitor Center at 413-499-4262 for backpacking information and to register your itinerary. Campers parking in the trailhead parking lots are advised not to leave valuables in their vehicles. For more information please click here.

Hunting is permitted at Mt. Greylock State Forest, for more information please:click here

Facilities:

The Mt. Greylock primitive hike-in camping area offers a car-free environment with spectacular views and private wooded sites. The Mt. Greylock primitive camping area can be reached by a 2.5 mile hike from the Hopper Road Trail Head at the base of the mountain. A less strenuous 1.3 mile hike to the camping area is available (during peak season) from the parking lot located on Rockwell Road. Each campsite is provided with a picnic table, fire ring and a bear-proof food storage locker. Campers parking in the trailhead parking lots are advised not to leave valuables in their vehicles.

Be bear aware: Don't forget you are in Black Bear country. Never physically confront, feed, torment or throw anything at bears. Take appropriate precautions with food so as not to attract bears.
