Roscoe Campsites accommodates tents, RVs, cabins, and glamping options with water and electric hookups. The area features several mixed-use campgrounds that balance natural surroundings with basic amenities, particularly along waterways like the Beaverkill and Delaware River.
Seasonal considerations affect camping availability throughout the region, with most campgrounds operating from mid-May through September. The Catskill Forest Preserve, which includes many local campgrounds, experiences significant temperature variations even during summer months. "The sites were large and spread out, and we felt like we had a good amount of privacy," noted one visitor to a lakeside site in the region. Fire restrictions may apply during dry periods, and visitors should check current regulations before arrival. Cell service is limited in many areas, particularly in valley locations and densely forested sites.

Waterfront camping receives consistently positive reviews, with sites along ponds, lakes, and streams being particularly sought after. Campers highlight the peaceful ambiance of water-adjacent sites, noting the natural soundtrack of bullfrogs and wildlife. According to one camper at Little Pond, "Go for a site on the lake, even if you have to carry your stuff to set up, it was breathtaking in the morning to see the mist rising off the lake." Many campgrounds in the area offer a trail system connecting to broader hiking networks, including portions of the 33-mile trail system in the Delaware Wild Forest. Wildlife viewing opportunities include white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, and occasional black bears, with proper food storage being essential at all established campgrounds in the region.

Quiet getaway
The state park is beautiful. The site was very nice. The park itself is very big with many activities available such as boat rentals and a swimming pool. There's also an amphitheatre which hosts specials. During our stay the only activity we made it to was the pool. The main reason we didn't do more was the distance. We have a motorhome so we didn't have additional vehicles to get to and from places. We walked to the park which according to my Fitbit was 1.5 miles away. That doesn't seem too bad until you realize it's mostly hills in both directions! We are a fairly active young family who has no problem with a bit of a walk but after that experience we decided to just spend the remainder of our trip hanging out at our site. It's a good thing we only stayed 2 nights because our 10 year old might've lost his mind with boredom if we stayed longer. Overall, the site we had was great and I'd recommend it. My husband and I may come back for a couples date weekend.

Deerfield Campground — Promised Land State Park
Nice for a quick stopover
Stayed for a quick weekday overnight at a primitive site—fine spot overall. Pros: Restrooms and showers clean and in working order. Pet-friendly. Nice surroundings (though nothing extraordinary). Easy access with a sedan. Cons: most sites are very close to one another with little privacy. Fair amount of road noise. Quiet hours didn’t seem to be enforced—some folks playing music until midnight.

Tobyhanna State Park Campground
Awesome lakeside camping 🤩
We were looking for a lakeside campground with a spacious campsite that could comfortably fit two large tents and two vehicles. We chose Tobyhanna State Park, and it turned out to be absolutely wonderful.
We stayed at Site 113, which had plenty of space on the right side of the campsite for two large tents, with enough room to park two vehicles as well. While the campsites are fairly close to one another, most visitors come here to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, and everyone seemed very respectful of each other’s privacy.
Just a one-minute walk from our campsite, there was a very clean restroom, hot showers, and a laundry facility. Right next to it, there was a volleyball court, as well as easy access to the lake with a boat launch and great spots for fishing.
On our very first day, the park rangers warned us that bears sometimes visit the campground, so they recommended storing all food in the car overnight. We followed their advice and had no issues.
Overall, I would give Tobyhanna State Park a perfect 10 out of 10. We had an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back!

Happy Days Campground
Excellent campsite
We 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.

Tall Pines Campground & Canoeing
Sweetest Campground Around
This was the sweetest campground around!! They deliver fire wood right to your site along with anything else you need. Free delivery of amazing pizza on Friday nights(delivered by a 1969 pink beetle!!). There is a giant river, a dog park and the camp ground is close to town, but far enough away so that you still feel like your camping! Amazing bathroom/shower facilities and a clean swimming pool:)

GuideThe Pines Campground — Promised Land State Park
Good place
We had a great campsite 038, mainly because we booked the site right next to the restroom and hoped no one would reserve the one closest to it, which ended up being the case. The neighboring campsite on the other side also became vacant, so we had plenty of privacy. Otherwise, the sites would have felt a bit cramped. The beach is about a 5-minute walk through the woods. I highly recommend taking a walk there after dark to look at the stars. It’s absolutely worth it. Shower location only near the beach and be ready to pay for it with quarters The restroom is very close from our site and clean, but it’s surrounded by trees, so it’s well hidden and never felt like a disturbance. Our site was much more secluded than most of the others. I would also recommend site 032, as it seemed even more private. Verizon barely had any service, except early in the morning and late in the evening. T-Mobile worked much better. Overall, it’s a nice campground with a beautiful lake. We really enjoyed spending time kayaking, and if you don’t have your own kayak, you can rent one there

Skyline Drive State Forest
Nice free spot in the woods
Only one spot as far as we could tell. We arrived 5.30PM and no one was there. There was quite a deep dip in the beginning of the side road, so higher clearance needed to get there. Nice spot between the trees, lots of shade, clean. Felt safe. There was a firepit. Bring bug repellent!
Guide to Jeffersonville
Camping options near Jeffersonville, New York include sites spread across the western Catskill Mountains at elevations ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 feet. This region experiences temperature swings between day and night, with valley temperatures often 10-15°F cooler than surrounding areas. The area sits at the confluence of several notable trout streams, making it a hub for anglers during the April-October fishing season.
What to do
Fishing access points: Russell Brook Campsites offers direct stream access from many sites. "Have stayed at RB multiple times over the years since Charlie ran the place. It's an awesome visit to the woods. As close to nature as possible with modern conveniences still nearby," notes one camper at Russell Brook Campsites.
Tubing opportunities: Multiple outfitters near Skinners Falls Campground provide equipment rentals. "This campground was nice they offered river activities (for purchase) tubing, kayaking, rafting. They had a small camp store and friendly staff," reports a visitor to Skinners Falls Campground.
Wildlife viewing: Early morning offers the best opportunity to spot deer and wild turkeys at campgrounds like Little Pond. "We had a walk in site and it was fantastic! Right on the water and pretty private. Each walk in site has its own bear box and outhouse," shares a camper at Little Pond Campground.
What campers like
Waterfront proximity: Sites directly alongside streams and ponds receive the most positive feedback. "Our site was massive (39) and had direct access to Russell Brook. Couldn't keep my son out of the water. Very peaceful. Felt like we had the place to ourselves," explains a Russell Brook camper.
Privacy between sites: Campers value separation from neighbors, particularly at Soaring Eagle Campground. "The sites are larger than most campgrounds and well spaced out. I have been there on busy holiday weekends where it was full but still peaceful and private with a great community of campers," notes a visitor to Soaring Eagle Campground.
Bathroom maintenance: Clean facilities significantly impact overall experiences. "Bathrooms are clean, campground could use a little more attention to cleanliness but overall not bad. Great access to the beaverkill. It's perfect for a quick getaway," mentions a camper from Roscoe Campsites.
What you should know
Bear safety protocols: Most campgrounds require proper food storage, with some providing bear boxes at each site. "The campground is in bear country so you have to be mindful about leaving food out when you're not at the site or asleep," cautions a Little Pond visitor.
Cell service limitations: Nearly all campgrounds have minimal to no cellular coverage. "Cell service is non existent and they have a pay phone near the entrance booth where you can use to make/receive phone calls. It's a 20 min drive back into town to get cell service," reports a Little Pond camper.
Noise levels vary significantly: Some campgrounds enforce quiet hours strictly while others permit late-night activities. "This felt like a music festival. Loud (REALLY) loud music playing till 4am. Fireworks so close to campsites that car alarms were going off," warns a visitor to Narrowsburg Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Look for walk-in waterfront sites: These often provide more privacy and better views. "Nice and clean, right on the water. Spread out just enough to feel like we had good privacy," notes a Narrowsburg camper.
Pack equipment for stream exploration: Many sites have direct water access for wading. "The beach area is clean and the water is clear. I was there middle of August and the water was not cold and quite comfortable," shares a Little Pond visitor.
Consider recreation options: Some campgrounds offer equipment rentals and organized activities. "We had a great time despite cold wet weather. The staff were so accommodating and everyone was super nice. There is a lot for younger kids to do and the grounds are pet friendly which was a huge plus for us," explains a visitor to Keen Lake Resort Campground.
Tips from RVers
Check site leveling before booking: Many campsites in the region have sloped entrances. "The sites are on the smaller side and many have slanted entrances," warns a Little Pond camper.
Verify hookup locations: Some older campgrounds have unusual utility placements. "When we got to our site the sewer pipe was buried and we didn't know where it was, they sent someone out to our site within minutes," reports a Keen Lake visitor.
Consider bathhouse proximity: For partial hookup sites, bathroom access becomes important. "The showers also had issues draining, ended up standing in a puddle of water the whole time," notes a visitor to Happy Days Campground.
