The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center — Harriman State Park

6 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Run by the Appalachian Mountain Club within Harriman State Park, this facility operates more like a structured outdoor center than a typical drive-in campground. Car parking sits roughly a quarter mile from the sites, and the AMC provides wagons for hauling gear in. No RVs or tow-behind campers are permitted. Access is walk-in or boat-in, and the terrain is open and set close to the lake. Non-members can book, though AMC members pay lower rates, so it is worth checking membership costs before reserving.

Campsites here are on raised wooden platforms, which reviewers consistently note hold up well in wet weather. Campfires are restricted to designated shared areas rather than individual sites, and bear boxes are available given active bear activity in the park. Firewood can run short, so bringing your own is a practical move. The facility also has cabins for rent alongside the platform sites, giving groups flexibility in how they book. Beaver Pond sits about 1.6 miles northeast for campers interested in comparing nearby options within the park.

The lake is central to the experience. Canoe rentals are available on-site, and a trail runs around the perimeter for day hikes. Beavers have been spotted from the dining hall patio. The AMC operates a meal plan covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the on-site dining hall, which Thomas M. calls "worth the added cost." A shuttle runs to and from Tuxedo Park Train Station, making this one of the few campgrounds in the region reachable without a car, though shuttle reservations are required in advance.

Great campsite and amazing food!

I camped on one of the platforms, which was very nice and did not feel crowded even with other people on neighboring platforms. One highlight was having meals cooked by the stellar chef. The lake is very peaceful, and home to beavers we watched from the dining hall patio. This campsite is accessible by public transportation. There is a shuttle run by the campsite to and from Tuxedo Park Train Station (reservations on shuttle required).

Absolutely loved! Great lake and campsite

This was beautiful campground with an even nicer lake. You are able to do a hike around the lake. They have both cabins for rent and camping spots on platforms which are great, especially when it rains. You can also rent canoes and take them out on the lake for an afternoon activity. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

beautiful location and great facilities

This camp is run by AMC (The Appalachian Mountain Club), you don't have to be a member to use the facillity but you get better rates. They offer cabins and campsites.  We spent 4 nights in the campsite area and this is a first class facility.  Very clean.  They offer a meal plan (Option for breakfast, lunch, dinner) that you can get at their dinning hall and I HIGHLY recommend that option. Worth the added cost.  No RV and campers allowed.  The parking for your car is 1/4 mile away but they allow you to unload and give you a wagon to take stuff to your site. Bathrooms and super nice and clean.  Campfires are restricted to certain areas and you have to share.  They do have bear boxes available as this is bear country.  Very well run campground and cabins. Great Lake to swim.
