Mount Greylock Camping
Great campground. Have small travel trailer with electric, cable, water. & sewerage. Had electric water & grey water discharge into special pipe. Note u need an adapter for this to screw it in and the hosts gave us one for free! So nice. There is no cable, cell phone signal, or WI FI, unless pay for it through private co 5$ day. We DO NOT feel comfortable giving credit card # to unknown co. Would of gladly paid for it through camping fees. Hope they take note of this! Otherwise beautiful camping area. Large campsite, biggest we ever had! So nice. It was 100 degrees in Boston and 80’s beautiful at campground. Have pool & nice play area. Take food & drinks w you as there is not many stores near. Greylock is beautiful. Lived Here all my life, never been here. It rivals NH, I think it’s more beautiful and so much less commercialized. Loved that. Top of mountain is breathtaking. We had a great time. Rested, restored, and will spread word on this beautiful area. Hosts are great!

Nice day trip destination.....
I’ve visited Mt Greylock twice this year (Spring and Summer). It’s about a 30-minute drive from Lenox to the base and another 15-20 minutes to drive up to the summit. It’s a scenic drive. Take your time and use extreme caution (be mindful of the hiker crossings and the hairpin turns). There is a visitor center at the base, scenic overlooks o the way up and a decent amount of parking at the summit. Facilities are limited at the top. Several porta potties and regular restrooms in the lodge. Fantastic views of the mountains and valley. There is an open area where couples/families can picnic and take in the views. There are numerus hiking trails for all skill levels. The lodge was closed on our first visit but was open on the second visit. They appeared to be selling some snack items. We had out own food so didn’t go check out what they had. The temperature was very cool in the Spring (dropped into the 40’s/50’s) so a light jacket is a good idea. Much warner in the summer…pleasant 70’s. Didn’t have any issues with bugs at the summit, but several hikers were talking about ticks they picked up while hiking in the woods below the summit. Easy drive back down the mountain….and then we stopped for a meal at Olde Forge tavern about 5 min drive from the base. Mt Greylock is a nice spot for a day trip when visiting the Berkshires (and it's free) :-)
