About this campground

Falls Brook Shelter

Falls Brook Shelter in Massachusetts offers primitive, first-come, first-served camping with no reservations, permits, or fees required. It features an established shelter and nearby tent sites. Amenities are minimal: there's a composting or pit toilet, no potable water (filter from streams), and no fire rings, grills, picnic tables, RV access, or hookups. Located in a quiet, forested setting along the Appalachian Trail, it provides a peaceful, backcountry experience ideal for thru-hikers or backpackers. Nearby attractions include Mount Race and Race Brook Falls. The best time to visit is late spring through early fall for mild weather and clear trails.
