This review is for the campground. If you are a nature lover, you will love this campground. Absolutely beautiful. Private sites with lots of trees and shrubs between you and the next campers. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were adequate. If you choose the last loop of the campground, the sites will be right on the river. The middle loop's sites are on higher ground. They provide bear boxes for your food because there is a lot of wildlife in the campground. Firewood is provided there but nothing else (they do have water and a sink at the restrooms) so buy all your supplies before you get there. Walk right from your site to hiking trails. This place is a gem.

We stayed two nights in Cabin 1 and couldn't recommend it more highly. The cabin themselves are small but functional. Two bunk beds, a wood stove, four chairs and a table. Good spot really store your gear and not have to set up a tent. Cabin 1 is fantastic. The view off of the porch was just breath-taking and we enjoyed the solitude. If you're looking for a way to get "off the grid" without cell service or internet, this is the perfect spot. We really are lucky to have such amazing camping facilities right here in Massachusetts.

The blue heart Gilmore hike at Tolland State Forest is an easy hike for all to enjoy. Takes about 45 minutes so a quick hike to squeeze in between a morning and evening activity.
