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.

Edwin R.ScoutCheesequake State Park Campground
Park uses county cops to shut down park by 9pm.
On Friday, September 4, 2026, I rented a trailer and brought my family to Cheesequake State Park to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary over the extended Labor Day weekend. Around 9:20 PM—well before the park's designated 10:00 PM quiet hours—we were sitting inside our canopy, playing Jenga, and listening to low background music. Two officers from the Matawan Police Department approached our campsite. They were polite and courteous, simply offering a standard reminder to wrap things up by 10:00 PM. Before they could leave, however, a third, senior officer intervened. Wanting to"show them how it's done," he made the two polite officers return and stand by to watch as he demonstrated how to aggressively harass campers. Flashlight in hand, the senior officer approached with an immediate hostile attitude, treating us like criminals as he demanded to know who rented the site. He began reiterating rules and claimed we had too many vehicles. We had three cars, one belonging to my brother-in-law's girlfriend, who was visiting with her daughter. She had paid the$10 visitor fee at the main office and was instructed by staff to obtain the gate access code from us, the primary renters, if she got locked in. No staff member ever informed her of an 8:00 PM visitor departure deadline, leading us to reasonably assume visitors were permitted until quiet hours began at 10:00 PM. The officer rudely snapped that she had been given wrong information. The senior officer then used profanity in front of three small children, aggressively telling her to ("get her shit and get the fuck out!") in that manner or use profanity, the officer went from hostile to furious. He angrily declared that these were official violations and threatened that he could be issuing us tickets instead. Desperately searching for anything and everything to throw at us, he demanded that we turn off our idling car—which was supplying power to our campsite—and instructed us to make sure the campfire was doused before shutting down for the night. He then proceeded to shine his flashlight into our private setup—including our canopy, tents, and the inside of our trailer—searching for any other possible violation while the two polite officers were forced to watch. What was supposed to be a special 10th wedding anniversary celebration with my family was completely ruined by a senior officer misusing his authority to put on an unnecessary display of intimidation. Worse than just ruining our night, he spent that evening teaching those two police officers how to be bad cops. He corrupted two officers in real time, demonstrating firsthand exactly why most people have lost faith in the police force. The next day we was ready for them. We turned off our lights and quietly by the fire while they went next door to harass an asian family that had just set up camp and had their leds lights on.

Super clean and quiet
Past reviews has mentioned that the office seems to be closed often, while I found that to be true I had no reason to contact anyone. This is definitely one of the cleanest quiets site I’ve ever visited

Check site photos first
Definitely a wide variety of sites—look at the site pictures before booking—there are two areas where it’s just an open field with bonfires and picnic tables that I’d avoid. I could see a large group going there or something but personally it doesn’t offer any privacy.
BUT if you book one of the other sites that DOES have privacy you’ll be in camping heaven. The “hike in” sites are more like “walk-in,” I was worried at first but it’s some are as little as a few yards from the road. The most annoying part was lugging the cooler back and forth, but totally worth it

Beaver Pond Campground in Harriman State Park
Bare bones
No hookups. It was wooded, quiet and dark at night. I used the dump station on my way out. The first time I ever saw a poop fountain. The sewer opening sticks up above ground level. The cover swivels away, so I couldn't put it on top of my hose. And then, when I tried to rinse it, there was nowhere for it to go, because the inlet is elevated.

This is an A.T. shelter and campsite. First come, first served. Privy was nice. Flat tentsites for 6 or more. Good for Hammocking also.

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.
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.
