"Our first campground was in New York Aug 8th. Unfortunately, Debbie was socking New York hard. North South Lake Campground in the Catskills was our camping home."
"Had a great time at this campground- surrounded by many returning campers which gave the whole experience a good community vibe. Ice cream truck comes around each evening in the summer."
"You’ve got fishing either in 2 private lakes or you can fish in the river but to do the river you’ll need a New York State fishing license."

TravelerLake is surrounded by hills and there is a small lean two with a few campfire spots. Other campsites are scattered and require navigating through small overgrown trails (wear pants) We camped on the hill with a beautiful view of the whole lake and breeze.
ScoutWe had a great time with a playground and pool basketball 🏀 court. Game room and snacks a nicely stocked camp store and exceptionally clean bath houses and laundry facilities. Propane and chopped wood available and wonderful hosts. We ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND. 5 stars 🤩
GuideOur 21 month old had the time of his life here! We stayed for 3 nights in June in a rustic cabin. There are no bathrooms in the cabin but there are public restrooms nearby. The resorts is decked out with 2 playgrounds, a splash park, kiddie pool, family pool and hot tub. They have activities on the weekends with Yogi the mascot such as wagon rides, dance parties, arts n crafts. It was a little expensive to stay here but was so worth it! Make sure you reserve a golf cart if you stay during the weekend- it's a must have to get from place to place and our little guy loved it!
GuideThe host is extremely friendly. She greeted us with the warmest of smiles and a goodie bag full of information. The sites are big and this has to be the cleanest campground I’ve ever visited!
ScoutThis place is great. It’s got so many different ducks and crannies and so many different levels up and down the hill and Valley and just a beautiful peaceful place in the woods.
ScoutThis place is awesome!! Small but really quiet and the owner is amazing!! Bath house is definitely the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Looks like it’s recently done! Wow!! The cabin I stayed in was awesome….could have stayed for a week and next year I plan to do just that!! Love this place!!
TravelerThis is a very nice wooded campground. We LOVED our site (site 9). It was absolutely massive! The photo doesn't do it justice. It was set back very far from the main road and was an extremely large site! Though it was totally private on one side, we could see our neighbors in site 10 on the other (but they weren't very close to us). Also, the back of the site overlooks the main road, but it is far away and didn't bother us at all. It still felt like a very private site. It is also right across the road from a water pump and from the path to the bathrooms so it is a prime location.
The bathrooms were fine. They were clean but sometimes ran out of toilet paper.
There was no cell service in the campground.
The campground does not sell wood, but rangers will direct you to a gas station close by where you can buy some.
Something we did not appreciate/thought was odd about the campground was that the showers were not by the bathrooms and there was only one shower house very far from the campsites. The dishwashing station was also not near the campsites but not as far as the showers.
The fireplaces at each site are cleaned out in between visitors so that was nice.
This campground is about 45 minutes from Minnewaska State Park which is beautiful and has good hiking.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!
GuideSecond time we stayed there for overnight while traveling. Well kept. Adequate space. Friendly hosts. Terrain is uneven. Hit and miss on how flat or leave sights are.
GuideThis trailhead provides access to bicycle-friendly nature trails. I explored both directions on my bike, riding approximately half a mile down each side. The terrain eventually transitions into a low-lying, swampy area, likely due to recent rainfall over the past week.
About 500 feet down the right-hand trail, there is a smaller path branching off to the left. This leads to a previously used campsite, approximately 200 feet from the main trail. The site includes a stone fire ring, indicating prior use.
Given that camping is permitted anywhere in the woods as long as it’s at least 150 feet off the trail, the surrounding area offers an abundance of potential camping spots.
