3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Rustic cabins and furnished vacation rentals provide overnight options in New York's Hudson Valley region. Jellystone Park in Gardiner features family-oriented cabin accommodations with electrical hookups, water access, and proximity to numerous recreational amenities. West Point FMWR facilities at Round Pond and Lake Frederick offer military-specific cabin rentals in wooded settings with lake access. Mills Norrie State Park provides state-operated cabins along the Hudson River with basic amenities. "The campground is beautiful and the staff was wonderful! We started our camping season off right with a quick weekend stay at Round Pound," notes one military family visitor.
Cabins range from basic rustic structures to fully furnished units with varying amenities. Sylvan Lake Beach Park maintains seasonal cabins available from May through September, while Croton Point Park offers year-round cabin rentals. Most properties require advance reservations, particularly during summer months. Pet policies vary significantly between locations—Jellystone Park permits pets at cabin sites, while The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center maintains a no-pets policy. According to a visitor at Lake Frederick, "Between rustic power-only campsites that give you a true camping experience and upgraded but still simple cabins which allow campers of all ages and abilities to enjoy the outdoor experience, there is something for everyone."
Cabin furnishings typically include beds and basic furniture, though guests should bring their own linens, towels, and personal items. Kitchen facilities vary widely—some properties provide only outdoor fire rings while others include indoor cooking appliances. Several campgrounds maintain on-site stores with basic provisions. Jellystone Park offers the most comprehensive market facilities, while smaller operations like Boulder Point Camp provide firewood and limited supplies. Visitors to more remote cabins should arrive prepared with groceries and essentials, as rural locations may have limited nearby shopping options. Camp stores generally stock emergency supplies rather than comprehensive grocery selections.
"This is a HUGE Jellystone park in upstate NY. There are literally hundreds of cabins and RV sites. We are in site 136, which is a back in spot. Plenty of room between campers."
"Site#22 included a large concrete pad, picnic table, charcoal grill, and large fire ring. Everything was in great condition. It was nice having plenty of space to not be on top of our neighbors."
"Fire pits, electric and water hook ups only. Will return! Staff is friendly and helpful. Military families should check it out!"
"We were very impressed with the playground on site!"
from $25 - $40 / night
"Only 6 sites with electric. 50 & 51 are nice & private. Lots of large tent sites, some in an open area & others fairly private. 4 tent pads with obstructed river views."
"There are great hiking trails on the Hudson River right outside your campsite. Amenities are the great outdoors and an ancient bath house built during the New Deal in the 1930's."

"Reminds me of lake camping that I grew up with. Hosts are very nice and helpful. This is more of a seasonal camping site. Do not follow your GPS directions. Get directions from the campground staff."
"Tent sites are very private with some dirt roads to exit out but thats what make it unique experience! Bathrooms with shower is near by and has plenty porta potties all around."
"Peaceful and gorgeous campsite, with plenty of space between sites. Great view of the Hudson, and playground within sight of our camper."
from $30 - $60 / night
"As part of the Thousand Trails group, this campground has many amenities. It offers a pool, playground, and activities that include bocce ball, shuffleboard, and horseshoes."
"This is a Thousand trails campground so it was free. I think the regular price is $64. Full hookups, tents and cabins to rent. Pleanty to do in and around campground."
"Yes, this is a military-only campground but, that doesn't take away from how incredible it is and that is properly advertised.
This place is incredible. "
from $20 - $150 / night
"They offer cabins and campsites. We spent 4 nights in the campsite area and this is a first class facility. Very clean. "
"Beautiful lakes all over the place. The AMC camp in Harriman is fantastic too! Those are reserved and paid cabins and platforms."
"In September my Girlfriend (who has never been camping) and I made the trip to New York."
from $90 / night
"This property has several sites for you to setup your tent, camper, van, or RV (only small tow behinds or popups, no large RVs) Nearby are wineries to explore. Nice bathrooms and showers!"
from $78 - $400 / night
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.
TravelerA nice wooded campground that was quiet despite being almost full on our Friday night stay.
The site we stayed at (64) had some pretty large roots to drive over and may have been an issue for a low clearance vehicle (we have a Subaru Outback).
The shower / house bathroom combo units weee very clean with hot water and baby changing station.
GuideI'm sure families would like it here in the summer, but to charge $90 when everything is closed up is ridiculous. Wi-Fi and showers are an additional cost. It does have an ADA shower which is a plus. Lots of permanent RVers and some sites are tight.
TravelerThe staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities: bathrooms, showers, dump station were spotless. The sites vary from tent only to some sites offering electric. Quiet, peaceful, lovely campground!
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.
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.
ScoutThis is not the place to come if what you are looking for is a nice quiet, peaceful nature retreat. The "full shade" sites really aren't, it's crowded with kids yelling and running everywhere, and honestly, you're better off camping in your backyard.
Cabin rental options exist within 40 miles of Glenham, New York, a small hamlet in Dutchess County. The Hudson Valley region experiences warm summers with average highs of 85°F and cold winters with temperatures frequently below freezing. Fall camping season brings colorful foliage from late September through mid-October when cabin demand peaks.
Water activities: Swimming at lake beaches offers relief during summer months. At Croton Point Park, visitors appreciate the supervised swimming areas. "Short 5 minute drive to nearby supermarket to pick up food or firewood. I would highly recommend it. Oh...and did i say, gorgeous scenery along the river and a private beach which is opened from Wednesday to the weekend with life guards on duty!" notes Anil S.
Brewery visits: Local craft options within short driving distance of several campgrounds. At Peace and Carrots Farm, guests can experience farm-to-glass brewing. "What was even better was that also on this farm was a local brewery that uses the farms crops in there beers and brews. While we still had our own peace and quiet on the other side of the farm it was still close enough for us to walk back after meeting some of the locals," explains Anthony S.
Fishing: Multiple lake access points for anglers seeking local catch. Mills Norrie State Park Campground provides river access with varied fishing conditions. "Outdoor lovers dream. Deserted during the week but packed on weekends. Sites are large and spread nicely. There are great hiking trails on the Hudson River right outside your campsite," explains Michael G.
Cabin rental variety: From rustic to fully-equipped options exist throughout the region. At West Point FMWR Lake Frederick, cabins accommodate various comfort levels. "Between rustic power-only campsites that give you a true camping experience and upgraded but still simple cabins which allow campers of all ages and abilities to enjoy the outdoor experience, there is something for everyone," explains Heather M.
Privacy levels: Site spacing varies significantly between properties. At Thousand Trails Rondout Valley, cabin sites offer natural features that enhance separation. "We had one and a babbling brook was 30 feet behind us. Great spot for morning coffee," notes Robert M. about the campground's layout.
Seasonal atmosphere: Crowds vary dramatically between peak and off-seasons. "Deserted during the week but packed on weekends. When the park clears out during the week you sleep to the sounds of nature and the occasional freight train in the distance," observes Michael G. about Mills Norrie State Park Campground.
Military-only properties: Several cabin options restrict access to service members. At West Point FMWR Round Pond, civilian access is restricted. "Unfortunately for me, Round Pond is camping reserved for active and retired military personnel only. We drove through and the whole space is rather large. There are several signs everywhere making it clear that it is only for military," explains Ethan K.
Noise considerations: Train tracks and busy recreation areas can impact quiet hours. "There is a train depot right outside and you can hear them shunting trains all night," notes Andrew A. about Croton Point Park.
Reservation requirements: Most cabin properties book months in advance for peak periods. At Sylvan Lake Beach Park, planning ahead is essential as the operating season runs May through September only. "This is an old campground, but is quite quaint. Reminds me of lake camping that I grew up with," notes Shawn.
Activity calendars: Check scheduled events for family-friendly programming. At Jellystone Park™ Gardiner, regular programming keeps children engaged. "This campground is great for kids. It has a event just about every weekend with kid activity," writes Jennifer I.
Water safety: Swimming areas vary in depth and supervision requirements. "Nice pool that is shallow so you can relax and let the little ones go in the water section alone or they have a 3 ft pool also," explains Amanda S. about Jellystone Park's water features.
Playground proximity: Site selection matters for families with young children. "We were very impressed with the playground on site! Unfortunately, due to our early start in the camping season the weather did not allow us to enjoy fishing or the beach or water hook ups, however all areas looked well maintained," reports Jacey H. about Round Pond Recreation Area.
Site accessibility: Limited large rig options exist within the region. At Boulder Point Campground, size restrictions apply. "This property has several sites for you to setup your tent, camper, van, or RV (only small tow behinds or popups, no large RVs)," notes Ashley F.

Cellular connectivity: Service gaps exist at several properties. "Just a note to other campers with T-Moblie, we did not have any service on the campsite, however just a hop in the car or a quick walk down the mountain for 5G service near the entrance off the main road," advises Jacey H. about Round Pond Recreation Area.
