Walker Island Camping, Massachusetts

  The staff at Walker Island was very friendly. There were many faucets located near campsites, and an outhouse, and an outlet in some sites. Our sites were located by the brook which on the other side is a busy road that large trucks occasionally rumble by. The pool was 5ft deep, compared to the 'small beach' which is literally a pile of sand plopped by the brook. No swimming in this beach. The arrow pointing to the spring is really a spring hung on a tree. Not so funny when your vacation hopes were to swim in some natural waters. Hiking may be
    difficult to find ask for directions. Says ML

Lots of people from Chester come to Walker Island Camping, and there are some glorious whitewater spots on Walker Brook. A spree to Walker Island Camping wouldn’t be complete without a journey to close by Tolland State Forest,
and here at Walker Island Camping you can see Abbott Hill. This place rocks, just look at all the entertaining things to do next to Walker Island Camping. Near Walker Island Camping you hit upon the County Road Trail which is a great hiking trail, and what would winter be without some skiing at Blandford. On a splendid day at Walker Island Camping you can take a hike along the Spring Trail, and of course Walker Brook is a pretty stream that is worth checking out.
Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Westfield
