No. Unfortunately, New York State regulations prohibit camping on campus grounds since Darrow cannot accommodate additional bathrooms and showers. However, if you are still interested in camping, Pittsfield State Forest is a great alternative. They offer a variety of campsite options. https://www.mass.gov/locations/pittsfield-state-forest
