SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Campgrounds around Greenville, New York present a mix of state park facilities and county-managed recreational areas. Harriman State Park offers several developed options including Beaver Pond Campground and Sebago Cabin Camp, while nearby Croton Point Park provides tent, RV, and cabin accommodations on a peninsula along the Hudson River. Ward Pound Ridge Reservation and Clarence Fahnestock State Park round out the established camping areas within reasonable driving distance. Most locations accommodate both tent and RV camping, with several sites featuring platform tent sites, cabins, and some offering glamping options.
Reservations are typically required at most established campgrounds in the region, with many sites booking quickly during summer months and holiday weekends. The camping season varies by location, with some parks like Croton Point and Ward Pound Ridge operating year-round, while others such as Harriman State Park's facilities run seasonally from April through October. "Because of its convenient location, this is my 'home' campsite and the one I visit most frequently," noted one camper about Beaver Pond Campground. Weather conditions remain mild through summer months, though spring can bring unpredictable rainfall. Terrain varies from wooded settings to waterfront areas, with most campgrounds offering some form of water access or proximity to trails. Cell service can be spotty in more remote areas of the larger state parks.
Many campers highlight the accessible nature of these campgrounds despite their proximity to urban areas. The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center receives consistently positive reviews for its platform tent sites and lake access. As one visitor observed, "The lake is very peaceful, and home to beavers we watched from the dining hall patio. This campsite is accessible by public transportation." Noise levels can vary significantly between campgrounds, with some visitors reporting loud evening activities at more popular sites. Those seeking quieter experiences might prefer weekday visits when campgrounds typically have fewer occupants. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound throughout the region, with hiking trails connecting many of the camping areas to surrounding natural features.

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.

Not park and camp available
The park was open but camping was not. After a little extra digging they do have a few sites, but hike in only.

Rock Ribs and Ridges 2026
We’re here for the Rock, Ribs, and Ridges festival and what a great experience! Make sure to bring a 50’ power cord as the hook ups are grouped together on telephone poles rather than at each individual site. As far as I know camping is only available during select events.

Charming mossy woods on a ridge
Arrived at night on a weekday to find two other vehicles parked in the lot, srilll was able to find a fire ring with a level area relatively easy. Very quiet, just the sounds of owls hooting at night. Very nice mixed forest, seems managed well. It is somewhat buggy. But doesn’t seem to be overly infested with ticks at least.
Nicole H.TravelerHeckscher State Park Campground
Beginner Camper Friendly
To start, Andrew was phenomenal. I arrived at 6:40 PM and he was able to hook us up with the last campground and was so patient and friendly when answering our questions. Overall staff was great, I saw someone picking up trash after campers checked out. Bathrooms are clean, 1 mile walk from campgrounds to beach area. Very spider and tick heavy if you don’t stay on the walking trail. Campers were very respectful and friendly, overall an amazing first time camping trip. Paid about $32 for a night. Drinking water on site.

Cheesequake State Park Campground
Clean and basic
Basic clean older campground. No hookups. Water dump flush toilets and showers available. Very limited on campsites allowing dogs. Nice setting but traffic noise can be heard. Calms down later in evening. Generators ok and our quieter than road noise. Lots of mosquitos and bugs so bring your spray!

Rest up and Recon the Museum 2026
Campground: 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)

Guide to Greenville
Camping sites near Greenville, New York range from secluded woodland settings to waterfront locations with Hudson River views. Most campgrounds in this region sit at elevations between 400-1,100 feet, creating moderate temperature variations between day and night even during summer months. Cell service remains spotty in the more densely forested areas, particularly in the western sections of Harriman State Park where signal strength drops significantly in valley areas.
What to do
Swimming at nearby beaches: Beaver Pond Campground offers a sandy beach at Lake Welch with lifeguard-monitored areas. "A stones throw from NYC this beautiful area combines Lake Welch and Harriman State Park. This camp ground is laid back away from the busy activity of the big city. If you want to get away and relax you can come here to walk, swim and camp. The beach is secured with lifeguards and shower and bathroom facilities are available," notes Brian O. from Beaver Pond Campground.
Hiking the extensive trail network: Ward Pound Ridge Reservation provides over 40 miles of hiking trails within a single reservation. "This is a great place to camp. The shelter sites are large and private with access to hiking trails and make for a unique experience. The staff is friendly as well," shares jeremy S. from Ward Pound Ridge Reservation.
Water activities on Canopus Lake: Fahnestock State Park offers boat rentals and fishing opportunities across multiple water bodies. "They even have boat rentals - or you can bring your own boat to launch! If you are into fishing, there is another lake and two ponds that our neighbor campers said were great for catching panfish - one fisherman said he had caught several bass weighing over 3 pounds!!" reports Shelly B.
What campers like
Platform tent camping: The raised platforms at several campgrounds provide additional comfort during wet conditions. "The biggest positive about Beaver Pond is how spread out it was. You definitely feel like you have your own space and are not camping on top of your neighbor. Many of the camping options were on platforms which is especially nice if it recently rained or if you are expecting rain during your stay," explains Ethan K.
Off-season quietness: Mid-week and off-season stays offer significantly more peaceful experiences. "We stayed here on a Thursday night in September prior to taking off backpacking. The campground was clean and quiet. RV hook-ups, tent platforms, and rustic tent sites were available. Ranger said that during summer weekends the grounds fill up and can be quite noisy, but mid-week during the off-season it was great," shares Rebecca S. from Clarence Fahnestock State Park Campground.
Rustic cabin options: Sebago Cabin Camp provides a step up from tent camping while maintaining a rustic experience. "Sebago has a huge lake and great beach area. It was perfect for lounging and swimming in during a hot summer day. We were able to rent a cabin which was equipped with an outside grill and picnic area. It is great if you are going with a group/family and people want to sleep inside a cabin as oppose to a tent outside," reports Ethan K. from Sebago Cabin Camp.
