We recently visited the campground for the second time and while we love the site itself, our experience with the staff was disappointing. The rules are overly strict; for instance, we were required to keep our cooler inside the car at all times. Although we understand the need for rules and quiet hours from 10 pm to 7 am, the staff seemed to have issues with even the slightest noise or activity during the day. They don’t allow music or any significant noise, which felt excessively controlling. If you are planning to visit this campground, be aware that it's not suited for large groups or those who enjoy a lively atmosphere. It seems to be designed for people who prefer absolute silence, to the point where it feels like you need to keep your mouth closed with tape. This approach can be frustrating if you want to enjoy time with family and friends without constantly worrying about warnings or being asked to leave. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat, you might be better off staying home. The staff, particularly the lady in charge, seemed consistently cranky and unapproachable. Even other staff members seemed hesitant to speak negatively about her. We go camping to escape the rigidity of corporate and city life, and it was disheartening to feel so controlled. Aside from these issues, everything else about the campground is great. However, if a quiet environment is what you seek, you might want to reconsider camping here.

Lovely campgrounds! You are given everything you could need: a fire pit, a table, ample space, and bathrooms everywhere! We loved our time here and we will definitely come again. Just note that the campground doesn’t sell firewood, but there are many places to get it on the road leading up to the campsite! Beautiful lake in the camp and Kaaterskill Waterfall is 4 minutes away by car! Signs are easy to follow to get to your camp and get around. Can’t wait to come back and we are going to book earlier this time because it does seem to fill up on Saturdays!

Amazing time with friends hiking upstate! We booked a camp ground for the day to leave our stuff but will definitely be back for actual tent camping. Hikes were crowded in some spots (we did go on the weekend) but the views were amazing and everyone we passed was very kind and considerate. The trails we took the dogs on were difficult at parts - would only recommend a younger dog or one that is pretty active. The loop we did was about 2 miles and had many view “pull offs” that were stunning.

Our experience was absolutely terrible. After a 3.5 hour drive, we arrived at 10 PM, only to be told we couldn’t check in because we missed the 9 PM cutoff—despite having a reservation. There was no clear warning about this on our reservation. The Reserve America site mentions check-in times, but doesn’t say you’ll be turned away after 9 PM. I go camping very frequently and this is not normal protocol. Usually if you miss the check in time, you can still stay over night and check in the next morning. We were left stranded with nowhere to stay and the ranger suggested we could sleep in our tiny car on the side of the road. Wow thanks a lot - sounds really safe!! After an hour of calling hotels (which were mostly all closed or booked by that point), we finally found one for over $200, 30 minutes away from the camping area which we were planning to hike from in the morning. What was supposed to be a cheap, relaxing weekend now turned into a stressful, expensive experience. It’s unacceptable that the campground turned us away for a time restriction that wasn’t clearly stated. They need to either make this policy extremely clear or let people in for the reservation they paid for.

Went on a Monday, so almost empty beach and picnic area. The overlook at the Mountain House location is gorgeous. The trail to the Mt House is an easy hike, but there are other trails available in the area for experienced hikers.
