Trailway Campground

Morning light filters through the leaves, casting soft patterns on gravel pads framed by green lawns at Trailway Campground. The quiet hum of city life fades beneath the rustle of early birds and the occasional clatter of bicycles rolling along the nearby Hart-Montague Bicycle Trail. From the moment rigs cross the old wooden bridge supported by steel girders, visitors sense the care that shapes this space—neatly trimmed grounds where neighbors greet each other warmly and the scent of fresh coffee drifts from nearby shops. It’s a place where a week-long stay feels like coming home.

Days here unfold alongside the bike trail that snakes around two sides of the campground, inviting exploration by pedal or foot. Wildlife—waterfowl skimming the wetlands, rabbits darting through brush, and the occasional deer—pop into view with the dawn. Just beyond, the calm waters of the lake and a nearby river offer fishing spots, while downtown Montague’s bars, breweries, and eateries lie within an easy stroll. The proximity to a grocery store and an ice cream shop, mere steps from the campsites, adds a touch of convenience and local flavor that sets this campground apart. Evenings might find you joining the vintage car parade that rolls past the site or simply unwinding on the concrete patio beside your rig.

Trailway’s mix of pull-through and back-in sites stretch across two halves, split by a one-lane bridge that requires careful navigation for longer rigs but accommodates them well. Gravel pads are level and spacious enough for rigs up to 38 feet, complemented by picnic tables and shade trees—though some sites, like 43 and 44, open to sunlit skies. Full hookups deliver reliable water, power, and sewer service, while WiFi and strong cellular signals make remote work or streaming a breeze. Bathrooms and a camp sink behind the office, plus a public bathhouse linked to the bike trail, keep comfort close at hand. Long-term residents share the front half, giving the back a quieter, more vacation-like feel. Dog walkers find ample spots along the trail, even without a formal dog park.

What keeps campers returning is the rhythm of this place: the blend of community warmth, the ease of stepping outside to bike miles of trail or grab a craft brew, and the subtle harmony between natural wetland sounds and the town’s quiet pulse. Here, a weekday morning might start with a coffee in hand and end
