SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
The Catskill region surrounding Bloomingburg, New York features multiple established campgrounds that accommodate various camping styles. Jellystone Park in Gardiner, Oakland Valley Campground in Cuddebackville, and Neversink River Resort provide options for tent camping, RV hookups, and cabin rentals. Most facilities within a 30-mile radius offer amenities like showers, drinking water, and fire rings, with several including electrical hookups. Winding Hills Park and Korns Campgrounds provide alternatives with different pricing structures and amenity levels for those seeking developed camping experiences.
Campground availability generally runs from April through October, with peak season falling between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. "Weekend around the lake is more like a park with day-trippers, as opposed to serene wilderness/lakeside camping," noted one visitor about the region's water-adjacent camping areas. Many campgrounds require reservations, especially during summer months when New York City residents seek weekend getaways. Weather conditions vary by elevation, with higher areas experiencing cooler temperatures even during summer. Several campgrounds enforce quiet hours and have specific regulations regarding alcohol consumption, generator use, and pet policies. Cell service is limited or non-existent at many locations, particularly those in more remote settings.
Campers consistently highlight the scenic water features near many established campgrounds. Several reviewers mentioned enjoying kayaking and swimming opportunities at locations like North-South Lake Campground, where "sites are tucked away in the trees for privacy." The region's campgrounds vary significantly in terms of site spacing and privacy levels. Some offer secluded, wooded settings while others feature more open arrangements. Wildlife sightings, including bears, deer, and various bird species, are commonly reported by campers. Family-friendly amenities such as playgrounds, hiking trails, and fishing opportunities appear in many reviews as positive aspects of the camping experience. Proximity to natural attractions in the Catskill Mountains provides additional recreational options beyond the immediate campground facilities.

Camp Mohican Outdoor Center — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
Great lodging options and trails!
I've visited the MOC a bunch of times, and have taken training classes here also. There are campsites for tent camping, cabin stays where you can rent a whole cabin or rent a bunk in a cabin with others. There is a store as well as food options. It's a great place to visit whether you grab a meal, a bunk, or just take a hike. The Appalachian Trail crosses through here also.

Nice for a quick stopover
Stayed for a quick weekday overnight at a primitive site—fine spot overall. Pros: Restrooms and showers clean and in working order. Pet-friendly. Nice surroundings (though nothing extraordinary). Easy access with a sedan. Cons: most sites are very close to one another with little privacy. Fair amount of road noise. Quiet hours didn’t seem to be enforced—some folks playing music until midnight.

Excellent campsite
We were looking for a campsite on our way up north and we’re so happy to find this one. While it is a commercial site. It is located in the woods. It has full hook up and portable water at the site. We couldn’t be happier with a warm welcome we received late at night and the cleanliness of the bathrooms and each site. I would highly recommend this campsite.

4.7 stars
Excellent campground! The forest is beautiful, the Hudson River is super close, there are great trails, and the surrounding area is beautiful. Sites are electric only, so make sure your water pump is working and fresh water tank is full. There are spigots for filling and a nice dump station. The player is excellent. I don't think tetn camping here would be great because the tent sites are closer together and there are trains that pass regularly. We couldn't hear the trains in our camper and our site was large and private with great Forest and hammock trees. The mansion tours at Vanderbilt and Mills were awesome!

Primitive
The main issue with the sites was that they were primitive -- no water. The campsites were basically just wooden platforms, with a picnic table and fire pit. There were also a lot of bugs, though this may be due to the rain. The location itself was fairly pretty and there were a number of hiking trails of not-overly-serious difficulty. The particular site we picked left is a little farther from our car than we would have liked, but for other sites you can bring your car closer.

GuideThe Pines Campground — Promised Land State Park
Good place
We had a great campsite 038, mainly because we booked the site right next to the restroom and hoped no one would reserve the one closest to it, which ended up being the case. The neighboring campsite on the other side also became vacant, so we had plenty of privacy. Otherwise, the sites would have felt a bit cramped. The beach is about a 5-minute walk through the woods. I highly recommend taking a walk there after dark to look at the stars. It’s absolutely worth it. Shower location only near the beach and be ready to pay for it with quarters The restroom is very close from our site and clean, but it’s surrounded by trees, so it’s well hidden and never felt like a disturbance. Our site was much more secluded than most of the others. I would also recommend site 032, as it seemed even more private. Verizon barely had any service, except early in the morning and late in the evening. T-Mobile worked much better. Overall, it’s a nice campground with a beautiful lake. We really enjoyed spending time kayaking, and if you don’t have your own kayak, you can rent one there

Great camp ground
Stayed for 2 nights in June and it was delightful. Facilities were very clean, had flush toilets and showers, and the trails around the pond were great for my dog. Sites were well maintained, but a little close together for my preference. We stayed at site 146. Would definitely come back and hope to get a site along the pond next time!

The campground is open
The campground was closed in 2024 for renovations. It is now open. I did a tour of the campgrounds but did not stay there. FYI, generators are NOT allowed at all at this campground. I did not see electric or water hookups. There are three loops. Each has it pros/cons. Sites 30-33 are near the bathroom facilities, sites 34-50 are more secluded, sites 52-65 are closer to the lake.
Guide to Bloomingburg
Camping sites near Bloomingburg, New York vary from family-oriented resorts to more secluded woodland settings within the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. The terrain features elevations ranging from 400 to 1,800 feet, creating varied camping environments from riverside locations to more elevated forested settings. Most campgrounds in the region maintain distinct seasonal operations with many smaller operations closing entirely between November and April due to freezing temperatures.
What to do
Water activities on the Neversink River: Oakland Valley Campground offers direct river access for fishing and wading. "We spent most of early spring at Oakland Valley right on the river. Even though covid really forced a shutdown on activities, this one was of my kids favorite places of the year. They loved to fish and play in the river, explore the woods and ride bikes around," notes one visitor.
Hiking at Winding Hills Park: Explore maintained trails around the lake at Winding Hills Park. "The trails to walk on are perfect to get out of the campsite for a few hours," according to a recent camper. The park features woodland paths suitable for various skill levels with benches positioned around the lake.
Recreational facilities at Jellystone: Jellystone Park Gardiner offers extensive recreation options including laser tag and water features. "Nice pool that is shallow so you can relax and let the little ones go in the water park section alone or they have a 3 ft pool also. My older kids preferred a deeper pool but they still had a great time there they have lasertag which they enjoy. And a bounce pillow," describes one family's experience.
What campers like
Private riverside sites: Several campgrounds near Bloomingburg offer camping directly adjacent to flowing water. At Korns Campgrounds, "Site 90 was real nice. Fairly secluded and Surrounded by a stream. Electrical and water on every site was a bonus," according to a recent visitor.
Quiet mid-week stays: Camping areas are typically less crowded Monday through Thursday. "We were there in late October, towards the end of the season, and there were only a few other campers there, and it was a weekend! So nice to have the whole place feel so quiet and desolate," reports a camper at Winding Hills Park.
Shaded woodland settings: Many sites offer natural tree cover, providing relief during summer heat. At Boulder Point Campground, campers appreciate the natural surroundings: "This property has several sites for you to setup your tent, camper, van, or RV (only small tow behinds or popups, no large RVs)." Sites with more tree coverage typically fill first during reservation periods.
What you should know
Bathroom facilities vary significantly: Condition and availability of bathroom facilities differ widely between campgrounds. At Kittatinny Campground, "The bathrooms are spaced out. No running water except for pump founded outside of the bathrooms. Toilets are pump flushed. Showers are only located INSIDE High Point State Park, not throughout the campsites."
Site spacing and noise considerations: Proximity between sites affects privacy and noise levels. One camper noted about Jellystone Park Gardiner: "This is a very nice campground for families. Has a lot of activities and facilities for campers. It is a bit more open and campsite can be a bit close to each other. But the place was very clean a friendly."
