Granville State Forest
Overall Rating (1 to 10) : 7
Location: Granville, Mass.
Granville State Forest is easy to get to, but it feels remote. There aren't many points of interest in the area*, but it's pleasantly scenic in a southern New England kind of way. While we were there (Columbus Day weekend) the town of Granville had a Harvest Fair, with entertainment and autumnal type activities.

There are several trails leading out of the campground, one of which follows a pretty stream (the first time we camped at Granville we had a site right next to this stream). The woods here are a mix of hemlocks and various hardwoods.
*On our way back home we stopped by Old Newgate Prison in Granby, CT (about a 20 minute drive south of the campground). It's worth visiting if you're in the area -- cool underground mineshafts which were used to hold prisoners until the mid 18oos.
