"I went here with my friend and we were using it as our base camp as we went out in trails in the eastern Catskills notably the Devils Path, echo lake, etc."
"Nice little campground with lake sites. The Northville Placed Trail comes out in this campground. The showers were clean and plenty of pressure."
TravelerThis is a very nice wooded campground. We LOVED our site (site 9). It was absolutely massive! The photo doesn't do it justice. It was set back very far from the main road and was an extremely large site! Though it was totally private on one side, we could see our neighbors in site 10 on the other (but they weren't very close to us). Also, the back of the site overlooks the main road, but it is far away and didn't bother us at all. It still felt like a very private site. It is also right across the road from a water pump and from the path to the bathrooms so it is a prime location.
The bathrooms were fine. They were clean but sometimes ran out of toilet paper.
There was no cell service in the campground.
The campground does not sell wood, but rangers will direct you to a gas station close by where you can buy some.
Something we did not appreciate/thought was odd about the campground was that the showers were not by the bathrooms and there was only one shower house very far from the campsites. The dishwashing station was also not near the campsites but not as far as the showers.
The fireplaces at each site are cleaned out in between visitors so that was nice.
This campground is about 45 minutes from Minnewaska State Park which is beautiful and has good hiking.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!
GuideSecond time we stayed there for overnight while traveling. Well kept. Adequate space. Friendly hosts. Terrain is uneven. Hit and miss on how flat or leave sights are.
TravelerVery nice family campground, has every amenity you can think of right on the ground, including a little convenient store. It’s a lot expensive in my opinion, but my children absolutely love it here.
TravelerIf you like dispersed camping, like me- this place is good. There are absolutely no amenities whatsoever & barely even a signal here, but it’s quiet & off the beaten path. The parking lot only holds about 4-5 cars, 6 if you park real tight. There’s no spectacular mountain views from above, but rather a quiet peaceful wooded area & although I only seen/stayed at one camping spot which is literally at about the required 150ft from the road, you can set up your own camp anywhere. I was the only one here & it was a very peaceful & relaxing night
ScoutThere is a bouncy pad,mini golf, basketball,Gaga ball, playground, ect.And we came opening day. When water park opens there is even more to do.
GuideThe campground is beautiful and the staff was wonderful! We started our camping season off right with a quick weekend stay at Round Pound. 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. We are looking forward to stopping by Round Pond again in the near future.
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. There is also free wifi at the commissary/exchange, which is about 2 miles away.
GuideThis spot is right off the road. Nice and quiet. There is enough room for 2 to 3 campers. Parking across the street if it’s wet. Entrance is soft
GuideThe road in on old cemetery rd was pretty rough, so we decided to go out the other way, which was way worse. The site itself, was pretty nice, Fire pit, trickling stream, but the years taken off the life of my truck was not worth it. Intermittent cell service which was frightening while driving on these rough roads
GuideDecent campground right on the Delaware river, definitely family oriented in the warmer months, lots of families with young children, so can be very loud. Great walking access to the river where you can launch your kayak/go tubbing or just go for a swim. Would return.
