Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Birchwood Acres offers cabins with electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings, while Boheme Retreats features six cabin sites with full hookups including water, sewer, and electricity. Thousand Trails Rondout Valley provides cabin rentals alongside other accommodation types, with most cabins including basic furnishings. Willowemoc Campgrounds maintains cabins with similar amenities, focusing on comfort while maintaining a rustic atmosphere. According to one visitor, "Our 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."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The Blueberry Patch offers more secluded cabin options with drinking water, showers, and toilet facilities.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties, with some offering only basic outdoor cooking options while others provide more complete setups. On-site camp stores at locations like Jellystone Park at Birchwood Acres stock essential supplies, firewood, and some grocery items. Visitors staying at more remote cabin locations should plan to bring most supplies, as grocery options can be limited in the immediate Claryville area.

"Right on the Beaverkill River, it's quiet, clean, gorgeous, brand new cabins and concrete pads. Fisherman's heaven. Can't wait to go back."

"Although a small rustic campground it is beautiful and shady. Also quiet even at night after seeing dead and co at the performing art center."
GuideMade a reservation (site44) since I arrived as the sun had set. Office registration was open until 8. Staff was neither friendly nor unfriendly. Bathroom was dated but fine and a short walk from my site. CG was emptier being a Tuesday night in mid-October, so was plenty of space.
Great trail following the Hudson River. Beautiful fall colors.
RangerI'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.
GuideReally liked it. Love the layout, with camp sites having mowed paths to the restrooms and showers in the middle of each loop. Nicest showers and rest rooms we have seen so far. Each site has brush between them so you can not see your neighbors. Pretty, quiet, relaxing. The groomed hiking trails are the best and Arctic Lake is beautiful. Staff were so nice, and loved doing the scavenger hunt!
ScoutRip Van Winkle Campground
Catskills NY
The Good:
1. The location
2. The actual campground itself. There are roomy sites with trees.
The Bad:
1. If you are lucky enough to get an assigned campsite away from the busy road, it is a HALF MILE walk to the only showers in the ENTIRE campground. They have nearly 200 campsites and ONE set of showers.
2. The speed bumps are beyond ridiculous. Two humpers and high as Bob Marley.
3. If you call the office for help (our electrical post was out) they record you without your knowledge.
The Ugly:
1. The campground lost power on my electrical post and tried to blame ME for it. I own a Bulldog surge protector, yeah, so it wasn't me. How it was handled was unbelievable. I have never been treated so rudely. A simple apology would have gone a long way.
ScoutWe reserved for a day. Very bad service. The river is super dirty and they did not even clean the trash cans. Besides, the fire ring has no grill cooking grate, so if you don’t bring your own NO GRILLING. Ryan was the person in front that took care of us, he was rude, my kids felt weird because he was not welcoming at all. Also, we try to ask for a partial refund since we did not felt comfortable since the beginning, and they said NO. We have experience camping, but this one was simply THE WORST. We lost the money but we won’t put our kids in a difficult situation. Thanks.
ScoutWe stay at a lot of Jellystone parks so have become accustomed to the park layouts and activities. This one was well maintained with clean facilities. Some things like the mini golf and fire pits needed maintenance. The pools were nice but get very busy later in the day. The sites up on the hills are nice but beware, it’s a hill! There is little to no WiFi or cell service or it gets easily bogged down, so be ready for that. Food was basic but good. Some activities like bingo were a bit chaotic and there were a lot of ground hornets around the jumping pillows. Would totally go again.
TravelerWe 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.
LegendExcellent 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!
TravelerPeople are super friendly and helpful. Campground is well maintained and very secure. RV site was very large and mostly level. Good location. Close to Hudson River and Albany.

Fishing access: At Roscoe Campsites, visitors can enjoy direct access to the Beaverkill River. "Right on the Beaverkill River, it's quiet, clean, gorgeous, brand new cabins and concrete pads. Fisherman's heaven," notes a reviewer. The river is known for trout fishing, with prime spots located a short drive from the campground.
Water activities: Multiple cabin sites offer water-based recreation opportunities. "The creek that runs by the campground is gorgeous, and my kids had fun finding Crayfish," shared one camper at Thousand Trails Rondout Valley. Paddling opportunities include kayaks and canoes at several locations, though water levels fluctuate seasonally.
Indoor recreation: For rainy days or evening entertainment, some campgrounds provide indoor facilities. Thousand Trails Rondout Valley offers "bocce ball, shuffleboard, and horseshoes" according to one visitor, while Happy Days Campground features a recreation hall with "a piano, pool table, ping pong table and more."

Unique accommodations: Beyond standard cabins, The Blueberry Patch offers yurt rentals with distinctive features. "To our surprise we found this beautiful yurt in the Catskills with views to envy any nature enthusiast... A wood oven stove to keep us cozy our entire stay," writes one visitor who stayed in October, noting the excellent stargazing opportunities.
Bathroom facilities: Cabin campers prioritize clean facilities. "Showers had great pressure and bathrooms were super clean. We showered after a Spartan Race Mud Run and they were great," reported a visitor at Happy Days Campground. However, experiences vary by location, as one Jellystone Park visitor noted: "The bathrooms needed updating and people at the tent area made a comment that it took a while to get a turn at the showers."
Seasonal considerations: Most cabin sites operate from spring through fall, with limited winter availability. "We stayed for 3 nights in June in a rustic cabin," shared a visitor at Jellystone Park at Birchwood Acres, highlighting the prime summer season. Winter cabin options typically require advance planning and often feature heating systems like the wood stove mentioned at The Blueberry Patch.
Transportation needs: Several larger cabin campgrounds require on-site transportation. "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!" advised one Jellystone Park visitor. Another camper noted potential issues: "renting a golf cart is prob not the best option $175 for 2 days and it only goes 5mph I can walk faster than that."
Reservation timing: Cabins fill quickly during peak season. One visitor to Thousand Trails Rondout Valley noted, "Once school is out, I'm sure it will be busier," indicating that shoulder seasons offer better availability. Most campgrounds require advance bookings, especially for specialized accommodations like yurts or deluxe cabins.
Activity schedules: Family-oriented camping cabins near Claryville organize structured activities. At Jellystone Park Gardiner, "This campground has a event just about every weekend with kid activity." Another visitor noted, "It has a lot of activities but some were repetitive. It looks like Saturdays have the best activities."
Age-appropriate facilities: Consider your children's ages when selecting cabin locations. "This campground is great for kids. It has a event just about every weekend with kid activity," writes one Jellystone Park visitor. However, another camper noted, "I was worried my 12 year old would be too old for it but he enjoyed making friends there."
Noise considerations: Family campgrounds often experience extended activity hours. "Kids were at the playground 8 am or before and the noise woke us up. The kids were around until about 10:30 or so each night," reported one family at Jellystone Park Gardiner. For quieter experiences, consider smaller properties like Neversink Sanctuary or remote cabin sites.
Full hookup availability: Cabin campers concerned about amenities should note which locations offer complete services. At Boheme Retreats, the six cabin sites include "full hookups including water, sewer, and electricity." This contrasts with more rustic options that may only offer electric service or no hookups at all.
Site placement: Location within campgrounds affects the cabin experience. "Our site was up front and we didn't venture into the park," noted one visitor at Thousand Trails Rondout Valley. Another camper at the same location recommended specific site areas: "We had one and a babbling brook was 30 feet behind us. Great spot for morning coffee."
