New York. Outside of these two choices, there are no large Good Sam-type commercial campgrounds in the area—possibly owing to sky-high land prices. The few full-service campgrounds include Woodland Hills Campground in Austerlitz, New York, just across the border from Lenox; Historic Valley Campground in North Adams; and Fernwood Forest Campground in Hinsdale. All three are open from May to mid-October. On the other hand, there’s a bounty of hotels, motels and inns in the region, ranging from moderately priced chain motels to upscale hotels and country inns. If you’ll be flying to Massachusetts, the nearest major airport is Logan International (BOS) in Boston, about 130 miles east of most Berkshire towns. A better but lesser-known possibility, if connections work for you, is Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, just north of Hartford. Served by ten major airlines, it is situated little more than 60 miles south of most Berkshire hot spots. Regardless of how or when you come, the Berkshire region is a wonderful destination, possessing everything it takes to make for a memorable vacation or weekend getaway.
