Best Glamping near Barryville, NY

We enjoyed staying at Keen lake resort. Loved the lake and glamping.

Keen lake is the most cleanest friendliest family environment campsite you will ever find. Beautiful lake great fishing. Activities all day long for the children. Great general store that has everything in it that is open from sun up to sundown. The nachos and ice cream are the best. Super friendly staff. It's big they have tent sites right along the lake the lake is huge there's so much I could say but I would run out of room. I started coming here when I was four and I am now 46 years old and it is just the best place ever. It will always have a special place in our heart. Look forward every year to coming here no matter what age my kids are they all have a blast. From tent sites to RVs to cottages to glamping you name it they have it highly recommend it. Recently went camping to somewhere a little bit closer to home and it's nothing compared to here. It's like comparing Macy's to Walmart. You will never regret coming here. So pack your family up and have a great time.

This is the first time we decided to forgo tent camping and reserve a shelter at a state park. We had a much better experience than we were expecting! The "shelter" is what we would describe as a "cabin"; four walls, a roof, locking door, locking windows, large picture frame front window, four beds(two bunks), a wood burning stove, and a porch. Even compared to our glamping this was luxury!!

There are eight shelters at Jenny Jump State Park. Shelter 2 is a minute walk from the restroom with sink/shower and water. Shelters 7 & 8 are even closer while 4 & 5 are the furthest, may an extra 5 minutes walk? The dead end means there isn't too much traffic, though the road is right there so you can wave to the other campers heading to the restroom or for hikes. There is a trail head at one of the parking lots. During the day the parking lots filled up and there was some overflow parking for day-hikers across the road. We got to see their dogs, so that was a bonus for us! Otherwise, this shelter is not situated too close to the other shelters and feels very private.

We brought battery-powered lights since there is no electricity. There were coat hooks and a built-in shelf for our snacks, games, and other supplies. There was a picnic table and benches inside. We brought camping chairs for relaxing on the porch. We spent most of our time on the porch; cooking, chatting, and crafting while enjoying the sunshine and breeze.

Oh, this shelter is wheelchair accessible. Some of the others are not.

To our surprise we found this beautiful yurt in the Catskills with views to envy any nature enthusiast. It was beginning of fall in October and the dark nights were filled with gazing shooting stars. A wood oven stove to keep us cozy our entire stay. Great for those seeking quiet and zen like space. The fire pit was a plus to the view. Our first time in a yurt but not the last. This was a birthday trip so we enjoyed every minute of this space. The host was great! Always full of conversation and tips about the area. We still keep in touch.

I have been camping at Kittatinny (Barryville) for over 20 years.  I have noticed that the campground has progressively gotten more urbanized as the years pass. 

Since covid, more people have taken up camping, thus making every campground more crowded, but Kittatinny has gotten to the point that it's pretty much one person on top of the other. 

I wish they would enforce "quiet hours."  Loud music everywhere, the people screaming take away from the camping experience.

Also, this is a request.  AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile do not have signal at camp.  Once you're at Kittatinny you might as well be in the middle of the desert. 

Last but not least, the bathrooms really need to be modernized.

Great campground for all types , many different areas to camp , zipline is a lot of fun and so if rafting

If I could give it ZERO stars, I would. Trust what you have read out there on social media, this site is the worst. Firstly, this is more like a picnic ground on the side of the road than a campground, and I have been to many others. Sites are on top of one another (see photo). The green tent is from our group. All the other tents are from 2 camp sites combined...11 tents on 2 sites! We wanted a site with electrical and water because we had our sons with us. There were many other families there as well. The site directly next to us (in the picture) had in excess of 15 people there! They were young (late teens/early twenties). As the night progressed, the massive fireworks began. Okay, seems like fun. Then, they continued into the late evening. At 12:40, the gentleman who patrols the camp caught them in the act. He told them to stop. Mind you, this was not the only site lighting fireworks. Then, AFTER that, the party stared. We understand being young and partying. There was music, loudness, drinking, etc. So, 12:40, okay. 1:00, eh, alright. However, around 2:00, yes 2:00, the yelling and fighting (literally) began (yelling included racial epithets-as they were able to refer to themselves in those terms). A fist fight ensued. We decided it was most prudent to not interject ourselves into the situation as we had children with us. I went to find a cell signal, as there is none almost anywhere there, by the office. I happened upon the camp“security” and told him to put a stop to it or I would call the police. He listened and did. Then, he patrolled several more times. Eventually, he stopped and, here we go again! Another yelling and fighting match breaks out. All this eventually dies down at 3:30!!! Great! No one slept. The office responded to our complaints the next morning by telling us that they were leaving and blackballed. We cut our experience short. Do NOT camp here.

I don’t appreciate the lack of consideration due to COVID. Seemed like they went ahead and booked every spot they could. It was my first time camping so I was happy to be out but people shouldn’t be on top of each other like that. They need to rent every other site. I heard complaints about noise but only encountered a little noise. With that being said, I’m booked for April 30th, 2021. And the whole space is pretty empty.

This campground is perfect if you have small children or just have never been camping before. They habe showers and a laundry room onsite if you plan on having an extended stay.

Route 15/209 was beautiful! We enjoyed driving through the quaint town, outdoor restaurants, and mountain views!

Upon arriving to the campsite, we were welcomed by a young teenager who held the door for us, a very nice way to start the weekend.

Our site was just across from the welcome center, at the beginning of the camp, in the middle of the gravel parking lot, 100’ from the highway... a sure disappointment. When asked if there were other spots closest to the lake, I was told, “Its a river, and there is a back-in spot.”

A quick look around told me that sites were packed tightly and for our maiden voyage, did not want to get stuck in the mud. We decided to keep our spot in the lot.

We were glad to see there were water and electric hookups and a dump site. There was even propane, should we need it. There was wifi, but it wasn’t working.

After unpacking, we took the dogs and started out to explore the grounds. There really was no place to walk, other than on the roads, all other areas were packed with tents, even home-made tarp tents. Most dogs, even though tied up, barked as we passed... which was a bit stressful for us and the dogs... One path took us along the highway, our views were dumpsters and highway traffic.

We found the river, and wow, it was beautiful!

As we walked toward the river, we noticed all the sites with river views were residents. Aside from maybe 5 other trailers/RVs, the remaining occupants were in tents.

If you’re looking for a place to sleep, eat, and party with your friends with your focus of water play, this could be the site for you. We were hoping for grassy fields, river views, and water fun. The amount of gravel, mud, and weeds did not provide the atmosphere we were looking for. The small area for river wading or fishing was crowded with others and their barking/lunging dogs, not peaceful. We left after one night and will not return.

Is a 4jul .. we are get space 220 no recommendations... is not flat ground... small space and when we cancel ...don’t give for as money back ... Shower is very dirty, nobody cleans it up... it’s full of bugs and hair ...( how is problem to close every 3 h and clean.... really not recommend...

We stayed here twice, in 2020 an 2019. Our first trip we were on the road side, not near the river, but right next to a stream. In 2020 we got two sites right on the river. Both times I liked the campground. It was clean, quiet enough but they weren't overly policing the place so you could have a good time and listen to music. The bathrooms are porta potties unless you go to the main bath houses, which are reasonably clean and maintained. The wait to go rafting last year was ridiculously long, they need new computers. But, the prior year it was fine. There's some wifi access around the main store, away from that there is zero wifi and near zero cell signal, so offline access for music and other stuff.

Overall I liked the place and would definitely go back.

The most beautiful campsite ever. Don’t cheap out. Get the tubing package as well. Also love their camp store!

Busy campground no quiet time loud music till 3 in the morning. Very clean, workers very friendly and helpful but after dark no one around. If you looking for a peaceful campground not the place to go.

We stayed at this site mostly because this was our only free weekend and there werent any other places available. It was nothing special but every site has a good amount of space for a tent, a parking spot, and a pit for a fire. We had a great time but mostly because of the company. The people who work there are very friendly but other than a short walk up the road there isnt much to see. We also were there at a time of year where the mosquitos were really bad and we even had to change sites because of that. The advantage to staying here is if you use their other resources such as their boating trips but that was not our interest.

This place was so fun for the entire family, it wasn't that busy, so we didn't really have to worry all the time about the kids getting ran over! The park ranger person came through and gave the kids cool posters, and just made it a very fun place for all the kids

My college friends go here each year to meet up and we have so much fun. The group sites are great and perfect for our 30-50 people. Definitely go for the rafting/tubing package, it was the best part of the trip!

The only thing that was slightly annoying was the state of the porta-johns, and the fact that at the end of our rafting trip, our big group had to wait a while to be shuttled back up (maybe slightly unorganized?) but the quality of the sites, of the rafting gear, and overall it is an amazing stay.
