White Birch Campground

If you’ve got energy left to burn, you’re not done yet – within half an hour’s drive of White Birch, stops at Zoar Outdoor Adventures and Berkshire East Mountain Resort will get you set up for ziplining, rafting, kayaking, rock climbing and a coaster between the trees. When it's time for something a little more slow paced, start with Historic Deerfield, an open-air museum where you can explore antique houses from 18th- and 19th-century New England, then keep one foot in the past with a few hours’ antiquing at Whitney Hill Antiques in Greenfield, 15 minutes away. Get your fill of nature by flitting about at the Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory and Gardens outside Deerfield, and give yourself a sense of healthy achievement with some apple picking at Clarkdale Fruit Farms (don’t forget to pick up some sweet cider before you leave). For anyone who lives and breathes scented candles, a poke around the Yankee Candles flagship store will be a match made in heaven (sorry) and having a go at making your own wax masterpieces and picking up some custom jars will bring light into your life (sorry again). If this is all too pastoral for your tastes, take a 20-minute drive into Northampton city for galleries, museums, breweries, botanic gardens, campus tours at Smith, the Coolidge Presidential Library and – of course – shopping.
