    Jellystone Park Gardiner

    FAMILY HEAVEN

    This is a HUGE Jellystone park in upstate NY. There are literally hundreds of cabins and RV sites. We are in site 136, which is a back in spot. Plenty of room between campers. Gravel spot which is pretty level. Full hookups. Picnic table, cable, fire ring, large camp store, showers, toilets, and full laundry area. Also has playgrounds, pillow jump, fishing pond, golf carts, game room, Waterpark, pool, and tennis courts. All of this nestled into the mountains. Nice and family friendly.

    Jellystone Park Gardiner

    Chillaxing Getaway

    We stayed at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort along the Walllkill River in Gardiner, NY, for a four-night chill-out vacation. We’re so glad we did! 

    Our site was called Riverfront Red Carpet. It was spacious, level, waterfront, and partially shaded thanks to some mature trees. Site#22 included a large concrete pad, picnic table, charcoal grill, and large fire ring. Everything was in great condition. It was nice having plenty of space to not be on top of our neighbors. We had full hookups with 50-amp electrical service- which all worked fine. 

    The entire park seemed to be well maintained and clean. There’s a small waterpark which seemed good for younger kids, an eatery, and ice cream shop. The camp store was well-stocked with food, camping supplies, and souvenirs. There is a game room and multiple bath houses(which we didn’t use). The park’s roadways are all paved and easy to navigate. Despite being nearly filled to capacity including tons of young children, the park was quiet each night with no noisy ‘bad campers.’ 

    We found our interactions with the staff to be helpful and attentive. We really appreciate friendly staff. 

    Overall, this was a great stay at a great RV park. I’d only mention two negatives, neither was a big deal. It took 45-minutes to check-in. In fairness, we arrived at check-in time(3:00 PM) on a Sunday. There were a dozen other RVs checking in at the same time and they just weren’t equipped for that. Also, our Verizon cell service was practically non-existent and the park’s wifi service was just as horrible. If we needed connectivity, this would have been a major problem. I reduced a star in my review simply because it’s 2021 and wifi has become an expectation. 

    We booked on campspot.com and paid$196 per night+$35 to lock our site+$2 booking fee less a 20% promo discount.

    Blue Mountain Campground

    Family friendly/ rocky tent campsite’s

    Located in the Catskills. This is a family friendly there’s bathrooms/showers playground, pool, potable water and a outdoor pavilion. Located near hiking in the Catskills and 15 mins to Woodstock.

    The tent site are very richly and uneven, it was very hard to pitch a tent. When it rains theres a horrible smell across the campground.

    Little Pond Campground

    A Park with Tent Camping Options, Great Hiking Trails

    Had a great summer camping weekend at Little Pond.

    Pros:

    - Near wonderful, little-used hiking trails - challenging ones, too!

    - Close to Catskill town options to explore, e.g. Livingston Manor

    - picnic table and room to park at your site

    - there is a dump station and recycling center.

    - Clean bathrooms and shower facilities

    - Nice tent sites with well-maintained fire pits (have rack for grilling over coals, very large fire pits, sturdy)

    - payphone near entrance/park ranger's office

    - firewood for sale at ranger's office

    -wildlife: hummingbirds on the path around Little Pond, frogs, deer, birds

    - foraging: plaintain, raspberries near camp, blueberries and huckleberries on hike

    - views on hike

    - ruins on hike

    Cons

    - no cell service, however, if you hike to a mountain top can have fun joking with those you call about that's what it took to be able to get a signal and be in touch with them :-)

    - weekend around the lake is more like a park with day-trippers, as opposed to serene wilderness/lakeside camping. 

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    There was a high school group (on Satuday?) there that made it feel more like a family/public place than a wilderness getaway. The hiking, however, more than made up for it. The trail we took to get to the top and, at last, have cell phone service and AWESOME views more than made up for that.

    The Park Rangers were helpful and unobtrusive. They drove their carts around periodically but not like they were hovering in any one spot or making trouble for anyone. 

    We like visiting the nearby towns and breweries. It was a wondrful weekend. They have some tent sites right on the lake for hike-ins. If you drive, you have to carry all your stuff for awhile before you get to yourcamp site. However, these are right on the lake in supreme spots, even with "old school" outhouses a stone's throw away.

    I recommend Little Pond for a weekend. If you stay longer, be sure to check  out the surrounding area. We stayed at campsite 2, which was ok, but not on the lake. 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.

    Happy Days Campground

    Quiet, wooded, natural, lots to do in the area!

    We stayed at Happy Days from Friday to Monday with our 21 foot travel trailer. Site P6. Pretty level site. We liked this site and the one next to it the best out of all of the sites. George at the camp store was so helpful and we watched him actively keeping up on and taking care of the campground cleaning, etc. the entire time. Showers had great pressure and bathrooms were super clean. We showered after a Spartan Race Mud Run and they were great. Scenic spot, mature trees, we could hear foxes communicating at night. Firewood available at camp store $7 a bundle. No sewer on sites, but has a dump station. Water pressure at the site was very good. Old school playground for kids, volleyball court. The rec hall had a piano, pool table, ping pong table and more. Close to dining, Kauneonga Lake and Callicoon Farmers Market among others. We will be back!

    Schodack Island State Park Campground

    Spacious State Park

    I’ve yet to have a bad experience at a state park. They are always better maintained and are typically more beautiful and interactive than national park campgrounds and even most RV parks.

    The sites are amongst the most spacious I’ve ever seen. RV sites offer 30/50 amp electricity. There are several hiking trails, a bike trail, a really awesome playground, boat dock, and lots of picnicking.

    The bathrooms are clean. The showers are large, but they do operate on a push system where you can’t adjust the pressure, temp, or how long the water comes out, so just be aware of that. Lots of water fill ups in the campground. Dump station on the way out. Two different book exchanges. Mostly filled with Danielle Steele, which is not my preference, but maybe someone will spice it up in the future.

    ATT and Verizon fluctuate between 1-3 bars. It was enough for me to work - downloading files, sending emails, and conducting non-video zoom calls. At night we were able to stream with just a little buffering needed throughout.

    Lots of bunnies, weasels, chipmunks, birds, and butterflies. Plenty of space to walk the dog. Be sure to bring your dogs rabies records!! They don’t let you in with just the tag, it has to be the paper records. We’re full time so not a problem as it’s always with me, but they are very strict on rabies requirements

    Definitely recommend.

    Spacious Skies Woodland Hills

    A peaceful place with character.

    My first visit to New York state was amazing, largely in part due to my campsite at the Woodland Hills campground. I had a back in site and was having problems with my camper, and they were able to change to a pull through at time of check in. However, it was in early May and before the summer crowds. The pond has a fountain which sounds like a small waterfall at night, and wildflowers were in bloom. Very nice bathrooms and showers, and my dog loved the dog park.

    Jellystone Park Gardiner

    #bigfunfamily approved

    We threatened a Jellystone stop for years, and finally made it happen. Great place for kids and staff runs a great park. Its crowded, loud and in constant movement but as expected. Sites here are pretty spread out and it’s big rig friendly with some level concrete pads which is a huge bonus. Park is doing a great job with COVID in the common areas. Not our normal type spot but definitely worth it to break up our 2 month road trip. Safe travels all!

    Covered Bridge Campsite

    Quiet

    Nice quiet campsite. The majority of the trailer/RV's here are seasonal people. Under new ownership (very nice young couple) as of August 2021 and they plan to make many upgrades to the campground. The roads are tight for larger trailers/RV's and some sites are very hard to get into. 20 & 30 amp service available with water at nearly every site. No sewers. You can dump nearby at Mongaup State Park if needed. The tent camping spots are very nice and very secluded. Very limited cell service on site. WiFi only near the campsite office.


Guide to Lanesville

The Catskill Mountain region surrounding Lanesville sits at elevations between 1,000-3,000 feet, creating distinct seasonal camping conditions throughout the year. Spring camping often requires extra layers as nighttime temperatures can drop into the 30s even in May. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with many campgrounds located in coverage dead zones.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: At Soaring Eagle Campground, the Delaware River provides excellent fishing access. "Great campground right on the Delaware river great for fisherman, hikers also great for tubing down the Delaware or canoeing," notes camper Mike S. Multiple access points allow both shore fishing and boat launches.

Hiking trail connections: Nearby Kenneth L Wilson Campground offers direct access to Catskill hiking networks. A camper shares, "For hiking in and around the Phoenicia area this place is the BEST! An easy commute to town, and yet secluded and wooded." The campground maintains several connector trails to longer regional routes.

Swimming beaches: Several lakes offer swimming options during summer months. "The lake is gorgeous and clean. Expect to pay $15 fee (I think) to use your paddleboards/kyacks etc. Worth every penny," explains Mellisa T. about Lake Taghkanic. Most swimming beaches operate from Memorial Day through Labor Day with varying regulations about flotation devices.

What campers like

Private wooded sites: Many campers value separation from neighbors. At Catskill/Kenneth L Wilson Campground, one camper noted, "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!" Site selection can significantly impact privacy levels.

Clean facilities: Consistently mentioned in reviews is bathroom cleanliness. "Bathrooms were a bit of a hike, but they were clean and had plenty of signage advising people during the pandemic. The park staff were keeping things really clean as well," reports a camper at Kenneth L Wilson. Most campgrounds clean restrooms daily during peak season.

Water features: Creeks and lakes enhance camping experiences. One camper at Thousand Trails Rondout Valley notes, "The creek that runs by the campground is gorgeous, and my kids had fun finding Crayfish." Water access varies by location with some requiring short walks from campsites.

What you should know

Limited availability: Reservations fill quickly during peak seasons. For North-South Lake Campground, campers warn, "Always packed, but always beautiful. Awesome access to the Catskill Escaprment trail from here." Book up to 9 months in advance for weekend stays between May and October.

Weather preparation: Mountain weather can change rapidly. "We had a 3-day weekend tent camping... It was almost completely full that weekend, with a bit of coming and going," notes a camper who experienced typical variable conditions at Kenneth L Wilson Campground. Temperature swings of 30+ degrees within 24 hours aren't uncommon.

Wildlife awareness: Bears are active in the region. One camper reports, "It was the wildest weekend I ever had, I'm not being sarcastic. The hiking areas are great, the weather is perfect and the bear was very nice for a bear." Food storage regulations are strictly enforced at all campgrounds with fines for violations.

Tips for camping with families

Activity-focused campgrounds: Country Roads Campground offers structured entertainment. "Mainly an RV ground, but they have about 10-15 great tent sites back beyond the RV area. There are water spigots near all the tent sites and they are nice and spread out. They have special events in a pavilion near the RVs including bingo," explains William R. Weekend activity schedules are typically posted at registration.

Playgrounds and recreation: Several campgrounds feature family amenities. "This campground is great. Lots of activities a pool access, food court and basketball courts," shares Kaitlin B. about Thousand Trails Rondout Valley. Most recreation areas have specific operating hours that vary seasonally.

Rainy day options: Indoor spaces provide backup plans. At Lake Taghkanic, a camper notes, "This campground was one of the best I've been to... The campground has a lake with boat rentals. Late night, stargazing over the lake is a great pastime." Some locations also maintain game rooms or covered pavilions for inclement weather.

Tips from RVers

Site accessibility: For large RVs visiting Interlake RV Park, access matters. "Sites are close, some are sunnier than others. I was below the bath house/rec hall, but wasn't disturbed by lights or noise," reports Jean C. RV sites near Lanesville, New York often have varying degrees of levelness requiring stabilizers.

Hookup options: Full hookup availability varies by campground. "With that you get free wi-fi, a heated pool, a lake for fishing and boating, a game room and snack bar, movies, other sports, and the security of a gated entrance," explains a camper about Interlake RV Park's amenities. Many rv sites near Lanesville have recently upgraded electrical systems to accommodate larger power demands.

Site spacing: RV parking proximity affects camping experience. At Country Roads Campground, "Beautiful campground. Stayed in The Pines section. Spacious sites. Super friendly and helpful staff," reports Tom R. Most RV sites require advance measurement verification when booking for units over 35 feet.
