So this is now my 2nd posting because, the owner Paul, does not want my post here and keeps deleting it as though it never happened. I will post it everyday. TBH The owner's wife is very accommodating. If I could POST ZERO Stars, I would. The husband/owner is an absolute piece of crap. Let me explain. I called to reserve a spot for two nights and the wife graciously tells me there is one spot open on the river. I tell her great, without asking the price and reserve the spot on Thursday. I call back and explain I would like to drop off my rtt trailer 6X6 in my spot early in the morning 5am (without setting up) and on the other end of the phone is a booming voice the F*U*K he will and he goes off for about 2 minutes. Now mind you this is not my first time doing this, yet this guy continues to berate me over the phone, then when I ask to talk to him he says he was yelling at his wife. Ya OK. So I tell him that I was planning on driving almost three hours to fish the Deerfield with my son and ask to drop it off in the spot. YA YA whatever is his response. To be accommodating, I do not leave as I wanted to arrive at 5am as he didn't want me to disturb his other guests, yet wants to charge me for the first night even though I wouldn't be there. We arrive at 7am and wait until I see lots of campfires going and people walking around. At 7:15 I call the office line and he is angry already, saying I woke him up and that check in isn't until 12:00 noon, even though I have been charged for the previous night and had permission to be there at 5am by him and his wife. This guy lets me drive almost three hours with my son, then gives me wrong directions to my spot and drives down LOUDLY saying are you down driving all around my property. I calmly explain I used the directions they gave me and they sent me the wrong way. He then states that we won't be doing this again to which, I said what again. You are right. Then he says you can leave. TBH I was thankful, as the spot he "gave" us was sandwiched between 30+ other tents along maybe 250 foot stretch of river front, all of which were awake and up cooking and getting ready for the day. You are right on top of one another, so much so you can hear others' conversations just sitting there. I said no problem, just give me a refund and I will leave. F*u*k YOU. I will call the cops if you don't leave. Apparently he was waiting to kick me out knowing I was driving the 2.5 hrs+ to the camp site with my son, because when he said he was yelling at his wife, I said that was no way to speak to his wife, with a 1st time customer on the phone. So I drove to the office and called the number to get my refund, at which time he drove up, as I am calling out to him he looks back and slams the door and refuses to pick up the phone. Drove about 15 min toward N. Adams and expailned the situation to a couple of people asking for another campsite, both locals pointed me to two other sites, but both had similar experiences with the owner, husband - not the wife. Choice and descriptive words about him, my GOD! Locals know him I guess. Still had a great time in Western MA - went out to N Adams and fished the Hoosic - caught five brookies and 1 brown all natives. Spent the night near Sawyer Pond VT and found another FREE places to camp almost like RTT in the wilderness - State allowed. I got my money back by doing a charge back. If anyone has ever had an issue with this guy, all you need do is call your credit card company explain the situation, and if no services were received the Credit Card Company - against his will, will pull the funds and place them back on your card, even with his NO REFUND POLICY. He will then get charged a "CHARGE BACK" which costs him an additional $25-$50 per and he gets a mark against his VISA/MC account. Customer have rights and he cannot steal your money. So in the end, He lost $50 plus two night rental fees, for his effort, and we found a new campsite and fishing spot. Turned what could have been a terrible time into an adventure and made some good memories! read more

Disrespectful ownership, small portions for the price. Service forgetful. No refill water, no check up after foods served. " Waitress" server ? Verbally assaulted by owners wife after departed buildin while my 13 year old son and i were in parking lot, Owners wife seemed to be in a heated rage. As I was honest on serving portions and service, I was aggressively and verbally attacked in front of my 13 year son who had just won an outstanding ball game for the local high school. Found the management/owners wife to be rude and very disrespectful towards my child and I. Personally I plan to report this to the town of Charlemont and better business bureau, where restuarant is located. Understand this business does not respect one another as owners and Customers, in it for the dollar. God bless this couple can find happiness. read more

We love camping here and come back time after time. The gorgeous river...waking up to the rising mist...food at the restaurant is always excellent...the people are so friendly and fun-loving. Plus it's about 15 minutes from Shelburne Falls and the Bridge of Flowers. Such a quaint quirky town. Just one thing.....the showers. PLEASE FIX THE SHOWERS. If not for that we'd give them 10 stars if we could. read more

Great place to get away . Went in May and was so nice and secluded . Had almost the whole river front to ourselves. Our camper was under a large pine tree right near the river . Went fly fishing and caught nothing. These kids came along fishing and gave me a Rainbow trout . Will defiantly go this May to camp there again read more

Dinner here last night and lunch today, both meals were great. Fresh home cooking using fresh ingredients make for an amazing meal. Last night had a clam plate, yes, that's right fried whole-belly clams that were cooked perfect, big and juicy, here in western Massachusetts. Actually better than most places on Cape Cod, where I usually for clams when here in New England. Today had the grilled chicken salad for lunch, sat at the bar and enjoyed a draft Steel Rail ale with it. The salad greens were a nice fesh mix; the chicken was a whole breast grilled perfectly, sliced, and placed on top. The balsamic vinaigrette served with it they make in house, really good. A huge portion, enough for a full meal. This has to be the best food, and also the friendliest people you will experience in this area. I look forward to coming back again! read more

For our third annual cousin's white water rafting weekend, we decided on Mohawk Campground for our camping needs. The rules are a little weird with amount of tents/people per campsite (which is 4 in a 4 person tent) but we reserved in advance and got 3 campsites right next to each other along the river. The check in process is quite homemade; you go into the bar and find the owner, who's an adorable lady who looks like she was raised on this campsite. She explains the "map" to you and sends you on your way. Very helpful, a little frazzle-brained, but welcoming and looks like she knows how to have a good time. We got there, set up tent, and it immediately started pouring... which is why having the Pub there is outstanding. We got some dinner (typical bar food of average quality) and beers. The pub stays open until the bar tender gets sick of you. There's a few pools tables and other activities there. As far as the rest of the campground goes, the facilities include pretty well kept. There's bathrooms as well as a shower room. The location is right near all the white water rafting companies and ski resorts, so you really can't go wrong there. My only complaint is that their quiet hours are really strict at 1AM, which I guess makes sense because you are in close proximity to your neighbors... read more

Mohawk Park - Campgrounds Near Me - Charlemont, Massachusetts

Didn't read any reviews, so I was going in blind. Mohawk park is one if the best parks I've ever camped at. Deb (one of the owners) welcomed us with open arms. Made a reservation for 3 days, and got to pick from so many beautiful plots. I was to leave that Friday morning (due to the over reserved spots) when my same plot (#30) opened back up. Yay! Stayed until Sunday morning. Not to mention the friendly campers/neighbors. They offered food when we had plenty, and gave us more wood I could burn so I never had to pay for it. The rules are vague, but reasonable. No pets, I don't have any. No music, but I was having so much fun, didn't need it. Fire off at 1am, we partied so hard we was sleep by 12am. Over all, This will defiantly be an annual trip!!! read more

My GF has been raving about this place for a couple of years now. Last week after hiking Mt Greylock I finally got to see what all the hubbub was about. Yes, it is in a Campground. You don't forget that for a minute. The old guys who ride back and forth on Rt 2 on Harleys, giving each other low 5's, were in abundance. There was a pool table, dart board, and large projection screen teevees on the bar side of the place. It's a pretty decent size, the main dining room can probably hold close to 100, and there was plenty of room, plus a few tables, in the bar. We took a table in the Bar. As usual the first words out of my mouth were "what's on tap?". Some good choices, including 'Guinness". Jackpot! My GF had a mixed drink, Black Russian. And it was in a large glass. They even put Vodka in it! Yes, a mixed drink IS supposed to have alcohol in it, but you'd be surprised. (Yoo-hoo, are you listening, Paparazzi Restaurant of Concord MA? ) The food was pretty good. Not haute cuisine, but really well done. GF had the baby back ribs. They fell off the bone, and no fat. I had the broiled seafood casserole, with shrimp, scallops, and haddock, and it was excellent. I would not have ordered seafood this far from the coast if not for the GF's recommendation. I followed the Guiness with a gin and tonic, just to see if the black russian was a fluke. It came in a beer glass. And again, they opened the bottle of gin and poured some into the glass! (Yo, Paparazzi, pay I say pay, attention!) You might think I'm easily bribed by booze. Yes, as a matter of fact, I am. But in this case the food, service, and atmosphere really were most excellent too! read more

A bunch of us "old guys" on dual-sport bikes zoomed down to the Pub from the Mohawk Trail State Park up the road where we were tent camping for the weekend. Can't speak to the Guinness temperature nor the mixed drink sizes since we don't imbibe when we have to get back on our bikes. First of all, don't be fooled by the dive-bar exterior. The inside dining room is clean and comfortable and the bar is cozy. Our group of twelve was served quickly and efficiently and we all left the dining table very very satisfied. The seafood was excellent (a BIG surprise this far inland) both broiled and nongreasy fried, my turkey burger was perfect, one of the guys got a salad that was overflowing with fresh vegetables, someone had Italian that they wouldn't stop raving about, too. Without hesitation I will return here when next I camp up at the State Forest. Good food, good waitstaff, very reasonable prices! read more

Absolutely the best campground ever!!!! It is such a beautiful place right on the river. People are the friendliest you could ever expect Clean beautiful up to date. Shower are wonderful and owners are super super accommodating and friendly. Restaurant was great as well. Thank you Deb and Paul. We had the best time Ever!!! read more

I used to work for one of the rafting companies and this was the nightlife scene of Charlemont. So if you're in the area and looking for some pub food, beer drinking and some dancing after a day of rafting, tubing or fishing - this is the place. Get a campsite and you only have to stumble a few steps off to a cabin or tent. Seems like a lively place that definitely fills up on the peak weekends. Not a 5 star - well it's no high brow place and there's no guarantee of high quality in food or.... anything else but I think anyone that enjoys the relaxed nature of river life will have an a-okay night here. read more

This is from 2014: This was my third time camping here in the past four years, and they've all been fun experiences. SITES: The sites are all next to each other. Approx Nos. 1-30 are along the water and the rest are on the other side of the dirt road that acts as a divider and is also the main transport for cars and to walk on. Fire pit (old wheel rim) and picnic bench are at each site. STAFF: Deb does the check ins and is always nice. They do have a long list of rules, but they are all common sense rules. Make sure to put your parking tag on your mirror. That's a big one to them. AMENITIES: Bathrooms are up by the trailer section, short walk for campers. They also have 4-5 showers that are private little stalls you can use. Bathrooms are fairly well maintained when you consider that they are for a group people who are filled with grilled meat and beer. A couple of "loose cannons" could really be a downer, but everything is usually fine. PUB: The food at the pub is pretty solid considering where you are. Mostly pub food. Lots of special. Solid prices. A Harpoon was under $5. read more

Finding a GREAT place to eat, in Charlemont, has become difficult, as most have closed. However, if you're seeking a fantastic meal, then look no further. The Mohawk Park is a family owned business. The owners, Paul and Deb Fantucchio, will go out of there way to make sure that your meal is top notch! Paul smokes a lot of the meat himself. The seafood, and especially the scallops, are cooked to perfection. They also have many drink selections to choose from. Half the building is a sports pub. The other half is a beautiful, country style restaurant. The service is usually outstanding, though they do get quite busy at times. Understandable, as this local gem is a wonderful place to enjoy lunch or dinner. 5 stars, and we will continue to eat here often! read more

The campgrounds were nice and the opportunity to be right near the river was lovely. The staff gave a warm, homie environment and made it enjoyable for all. The only complaint I have is the bathrooms and showers were not fantastic compared to other campgrounds read more

Fun to hang out in the river. Very open sites. No privacy and sites are super close but still fun. The restaurant and lounge are a plus. The owner is very friendly. The showers have no shelf or seat which made it difficult. Just a hook on the door but the water pressure was great and water was hot. read more

I stumbled upon this restaurant in Charlemeont, Mass in 2007during a Rowe reunion. I look forward to having a meal here every fall. The food is outstanding. Service is friendly and fast. Legend is that the cook is a chef that gave up city life for rural serenity. I believe it. Seasonal foods prepared to highlight their flavor and texture without the frau frau. Pork chops, prime rib, chicken, pulled pork sandwhich, and eggplant Parmesan get raves from the group. Seafood especially stellar.I always get the fresh from Boston sea scallops. Decor is New England country, 3 large rooms, a beautiful bar, and a dance hall size dining room. Rooms are cooled by lazy ceiling fans and tables are not jammed together as in Shelburn Falls and Buckland. Wonderful view of the mountains and Thumbelina cabins at the adjacent campground. Mowhawk Park across the street. You'll see lots of Harley's in front in the summer. . . the baby boomers have found the place. If you are within a 45 minute drive from here, don't miss it. ~ Henry Gilbert Schoenfeld read more

I love this place. I love the owners. The food is great, everything is fresh, made to order. While waiting for your delicious food sit back relax enjoy a generous cocktail or a beer. I love the Steel Rail Ale on draft. I had fish and chips WOW, perfectly prepared huge portion and scrumptious. Tasted scallops and fried clams from other diners at the table incredible. The next day I had a grilled chicken salad, huge salad enough to share, but I didn't. Get your own. House made balsamic dressing crisp fresh lettuce and veggies perfect grilled whole chicken breast sliced on top. The atmosphere is always upbeat and fun. The pub has cool things on the walls ceiling all items collected by the owners. The dining room is homey and welcoming. read more

We have fished, swam and camped here. Many times using the restaurant when we come down for fishing! Outstanding food! Outstanding people! Great place to stay! read more

I have been camping at Mohawk with my friends and family for over 15 years. We usually get there around 1 or 2 on a Friday, and tube down the Deerfield River a couple times on Saturday. The most enjoyable part is probably being able to sit by the river all day and not have a care in the world. The amenities, in my opinion, are above what you would expect at a standard campground. Free hot showers are not something you would usually find. Nothing fancy, but does the trick I have only been to the bar on a few occasions; when my car lost its transmission on my way up and I needed a shot of hard alcohol. When Hurricane Bertha rolled into town and we really had no choice. And my most memorable time was when Tyson fought Holyfield (how could we miss that?!?) My only 2 complaints are the wood that they provide; goes up in 2 seconds and the lack of trees at some sites. I know Mother Nature destroyed a lot, but I wish Paul and Deb would plant a couple new ones each year. read more

My review is for the campground. Our family has camped here for the last 30 years. The location right on the Deerfield River is absolutely beautiful! The campsites are relatively roomy containing one picnic table and campfire ring. You are allowed to put up 1 tent per campsite. There is a laundry list of campsite rules, some are simply commonsense, the others seem quite arbitrary but so it is. The bath house and pub (you can buy bags of ice and fire wood - cash only) are both within walking distance (try to get a campsite closer to the bathrooms if you can for those late night/early morning trips). During the week, we typically have the place to ourselves and the pick of the best camp sites...the weekends are a totally different story. This place is hopping on the weekends and all of the sites are full. Sound really carries and the weekend brings folks looking to have a "good time" (i.e. - music, partying, drinking, fireworks (?!)) but everything quiets down at 11:00 p.m. when camper etiquette prevails. We really enjoyed tubing down the river when they release the damn and also just anchoring our tubes in the shallow water in front of our campsite and soaking up the sun. We've not tried the pub in all these years but the reviews are very positive and we hope to try it in the future. read more

Portabella sandwich was DELICIOUS. I want one right now. I was referred by some tour guides at Berkshire East Canopy Tours. This place was great and very affordable! I loved our servers too. Total crack-ups! read more

It's at a campground and it's not 5 star accommodation, outside of that it is a do not miss place to eat if you are in the area. Their Beef tip kabobs, burgers, and any of there seafood is Always good. Hand cut french fries that never fail to please. A really good selection of beer for everyone. And a friendly staff who will get you whatever you need. read more

Can't even give this place one star. This was the worst camping experience of my life!!! The owners were very rude and did not show respect for anyone while we were there. I would rather sleep in a car full of dead cockroaches than go to this place again. read more
