Really peaceful. I thought the lack of cell reception would be a real burden, but it was nice for a night I do wish there was ONE spot on grounds that had it though because I had to drive up road 5 min to get reception enough to change my reservation. Camp staff members were incredibly involved, even going from one campsite to the other and interacting, sitting and watching cars entering, and checking in with campers. I appreciated all of this! It made me feel so safe! There a large dog park-and signs reminding dog parents that dogs must be leashed at all times anywhere else-but none of the dogs I saw were leashed. I do wish people would obey the sign. I love walking and roaming, but a dog being friendly dislocated my hip last year, so I have to stay away (I have a medical condition that makes me fragile), and I get scared when dogs are off leash. At the showers, there was an off-leash husky just sitting out front. I simply didn’t shower, but that’s not fair to me. Leash your dogs in public places (and a campground is a public place). Other than that, I found the camp to be perfectly peaceful. Best night if sleep I’ve had in months!

Great location for camping and my favorite within a 2-3 hour drive from NYC. Clean bathrooms, showers, and campsites. As others have mentioned, there is no cell service in the area. All campground staff my group encountered were extremely helpful and kind. Campsites: Some campsites are more private than others, so it’s best to look at individual site images when booking on reserve America. If traveling with a larger group, some campsites are attached to one another (such as 1 and 31) Completing and printing out the pre-registration time will save time for you and other campers waiting behind you when checking in at the entrance. Check out is at 10AM Pets: The campgrounds feature a large and scenic dog run, which was great for tiring out my pup. There are no additional fees for pets but dogs require printed / hardcopy proof of vaccination. Outside of the dog run, dogs must be on a 6 ft leash. Weather: If there’s rain, it’s best to bring a canopy that covers the picnic table or find activities to do in nearby Woodstock Amenities: - All sites have a picnic table and fireplace with removable grates - Hot showers on 5-minute timers (the water gets hot fast and is too hot for the first 3 minutes in my opinion) - Nature foot trail that’s essentially a walk through the forest within the campground - Kayaks are available for rent - Firewood is available for sale at check in for $14 per bundle. I could’ve used 1.5 bundles for the 2 nights I was there but was able to buy one and forage for deadfall nearby, seemed to be plenty) - Garbage and recycling bins - Dishwashing station with commercial-strength sprayers

Really nice and relaxing camp ground! No WiFi so you can just relax! Clean shower and bathroom facilities. Close to Woodstock. The hiking trail takes you into the forest.

Wonderful place to unplug since there is zero cell reception! Bathrooms were clean and so was the shower building. Hot water in the shower was amazing. The playground was a nice touch for the kids with a scenic view of the mountains in the background. We stayed in Loop C which was close to the playground and showers plus dog park were a 10 minute walk away. The dog park was well maintained and unique to this campsite. I also loved that there were multiple posts with dog poop bags and a garbage can for the dog poop throughout the campground. Brian the overnight ranger was so friendly and very gentle with us when enforcing the rules. We felt safe at night with him patrolling throughout the night. I would definitely come back again. Everyone that works there was very friendly and helpful and added to the wonderful experience here. Just as stated in previous reviews, don’t forget to bring rabies certificate for your dog! It will save you a headache when you get there!

I’ve passed the place many times but never stopped in until now. Wow…what a little gem. It was mid October so it wasn’t busy. My wife and I took a short walk on the hiking trail and then went around the lake. The view of the Catskill mountains was beautiful with the Fall colors. I plan to be back to take a longer hike and also check out the camping area. Entering the park there is an entrance booth which wasn’t open so the park was free. I’m not sure if the day use area has a fee during the season. The campground is open from mid May to early October. The Day Use area is open year round. There is a large parking lot and a building with bathrooms that wasn’t open this time of the year.
