    Schodack Island State Park Campground, located near Schodack Landing, NY, is a solid spot for a camping trip. This place is known for its spacious campsites and clean facilities. The campground is situated in the Hudson River Valley, just south of Albany, and offers a mix of tent and RV accommodations.

    One of the standout features here is the electric hookups available on two of the three camping loops, making it a great choice for RV campers. The tent loop, however, does not have electric hookups. The bathrooms are modern and well-maintained, which is always a plus when you're out in the woods.

    If you're into outdoor activities, you're in luck. The campground has several hiking and biking trails, a large playground, and even a boat ramp for those looking to get out on the water. There's also a kayak launch on the creek side and a larger boat launch to the Hudson River. On Fridays during the summer, you can enjoy local live music and grab a bite from the fire department food truck at the pavilion area.

    Wildlife is abundant here, with large cottonwood trees providing a habitat for various animals. You might spot bunnies, weasels, chipmunks, birds, and butterflies during your stay. The campground also has a couple of book exchanges, so you can grab a new read while you're relaxing by the fire.

    For those who need to stay connected, the Verizon signal is decent enough to stream Netflix using a hotspot. Just remember to bring your dog's rabies records if you're bringing your furry friend along, as the staff is strict about this requirement.

    Overall, Schodack Island State Park Campground offers a clean, friendly, and activity-filled camping experience. Whether you're there for the hiking, boating, or just to relax, it's a spot worth checking out.
