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.

GuideSpent one night here. The park is quiet. The facilities are a little outdated, although they said that newer ones had been built by the marina. I wasn’t up for the 15 minute walk, having just hiked up a mountain. My spot included electrical and water hook ups.
TravelerThere are a lot of sites here. Some in sun some in full shade. Pull through sites have trees and bushes between sites. We are over by cabins in a large gravel site.
ScoutTwo weeks in and the staff and people are so kind.
TravelerCampground: fairly secluded, forested, breezy with some wildlife. Small camp store. Ingress/Egress: Tight approach with multiple switchbacks and steep grades - if you’re coming in a towable rig over 36’ you might want to take a solo look first. Sites are oddly arranged and there aren’t any FHU sites. Cell: Verizon in spot C9 had 1-bar; we used Starlink for connectivity. Laundry: 3 washers & 3 dryers: $2.50 each. Dump Station: was close by (across the street) but we didn’t need it for our 3 day stay. Bathhouse: across the street, clean and we used it almost exclusively. Noise: Quiet with some small arms fire, but barely noticeable from our site. Site C9: can be viewed from Google street view site is north of the lake in the horseshoe road- some cabins are viewable as well. Site is gravel with composite picnic table, post metal grill and truck rim fire ring. Water pressure- fluctuated 30psi-50psi: hunted constantly. Cabins: available and in good order. They appear to be older, but still functional- mini log cabins $65/night (primitive-no bathroom)
GuideWe've only stayed overnight at this campground. Roads are all paved, and some sites as well. They stagger the campers so that you don't look right into another camper, which makes it feel like you are camping in the woods.
Lots of trees so watch DVD or OTA television as you likely won't get satellite TV in your rig. Large swimming pool and playground for kids. There is an activity center where you can get something to eat, and sit on the deck to enjoy the scenery.
Sites are level. Staff are friendly. The camp store is large and well stocked in just about anything that you could need.
Enough trees that if you have a large rig and are towing you need to use some care leaving your RV site.
GuideThis is a truly beautiful and scenic campground, easily one of the best places we have visited in New York State. The campsites are well laid out, the surroundings are stunning, and the entire campground is very clean and well maintained. We visited in October, and it was pleasantly uncrowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The peaceful atmosphere and beautiful fall scenery made for a perfect camping trip. I'm not sure how busy it gets during the peak summer season, but our autumn visit was fantastic. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back.
GuideThis was by far the worst campground we have ever stayed at. First of all, the campground is basically just a large open field where everyone is on display. There is absolutely no privacy. If that's not enough and you want even more attention, choose a site near the playground, where you'll have a constant audience. The bathrooms were also extremely dirty and poorly maintained, which only added to the overall disappointing experience. The biggest issue, however, is the complete lack of quiet hours enforcement. Until at least 1:00 AM, there were screaming children, loud groups of intoxicated adults, and nonstop noise. It felt more like a chaotic party zone than a campground. There seemed to be no rules, no supervision, and no consideration for people who actually came to relax. The sites farther back in the woods offer a little more privacy, but don't expect peace and quiet there either. This campground may be fine if your goal is to drink and party outdoors, but if you're looking for a relaxing camping experience, I would strongly recommend staying elsewhere. The only positive part of our stay was seeing a few baby deer wandering through the campground. They were adorable and ended up being the highlight of our trip.
GuideGood, quiet place to spend the night, but there are a few things to keep in mind. This is primarily a climbers’ campground, so by around 9 PM most people are already asleep and the lights are off. If you’re looking for a peaceful and quiet night, that’s definitely a plus. Sites 8–15 were our favorite because they are away from vehicle traffic. Site #8 is probably the best of them. Site #15 is only about a 2-minute walk from the parking area at a brisk pace, but that’s without carrying gear. If you have a lot of equipment or heavy bags, these sites may not be the most convenient choice. The showers cost $0.25 per minute, and don’t be surprised if you end up sharing the changing area with another person. Overall, this is a simple, quiet place to sleep and rest for the night rather than a destination campground with lots of amenities
ScoutWe have camped for years all over the Northeast and have never experienced campground staff as rude, patronizing, and overbearing as we did at Devil’s Tombstone Campground. It felt like our group was constantly being watched and corrected over every minor thing imaginable instead of simply being treated like paying guests trying to enjoy the weekend. The campground itself was disappointing, but the staff attitude was by far the worst part of the experience. Unless you want to be nitpicked every time you do literally anything, then you might not want to camp here.
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.
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.
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.
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."
