A great place for Camping in Otter River
Sep 12 '09
The Bottom Line If you want to spend to have a relaxed week end and you live near MA, you must explore Otter River State FOrest
Otter River State Forest
During the last weekend I took a break from my busy life to take off for a two day camping at Otter River State Forest in Massacusetts. If you are in or around the area in bordering Massachusetts, Rhode Island or New Hampshire, you will love this inexpensive and great area to relax.
How to reach Otter River State Forest.
If you have a GPS, it is very easy to reach Otter River State Forest. Simple put the following address in the GPS and you are all set.
86 Winthendan Road, Baldwinwill, MA 01436
If you do not have a GPS, use Google Maps to find the directions to reach Otter River State Forest. Since I was coming from Attleboro in Massachusetts I took I-495 North and then tool US-2 West. I followed the GPS directions to reach there.
Camping Prices
The best part is that the camping is really inexpensive. We paid about $12 for each night of stay. We used http://reserveamerica.com to book the camps for two days in Otter River State Forest. They however charge a hefty fee of $9 for each booking. So we ended up paying $24 + $9.25 = $33.25 for two night of stays. We are three families. And they charged $9.25 of booking fee from each of them. But we were still not unhappy because $33 is still not bad for a grand place like Otter River State Forest.
You may also book the campsite by calling 1-877-422-6762 or 518-884-4959
Camping
The camping season is from mid-May through mid-October. Mid October could be a little too cold, but you can try. Best seasons are June to August.
What to Visit
If you can take a 2 mile hike, I would certainly recommend it. The hiking takes you to Lake Dennison. Lake Dennison is a great lake with clean water. Probably the best thing to do is to take swimminig costumes, towel and something light to seat when you go to hiking that reaches to Lake Dennison. You can spend couple of hours at Lake Dennison.
Even if you do not plan to do hiking, you must visit Lake Dennison once. You will certainly love its clean water. You can also do boating at Lake Dennison.
Besides Lake Dennison, you can also visit the small lake inside Otter State forest itself. The water is not very clean but bad as well.
