The Blueberry Patch in the Catskills provides a boutique glamping experience with its stunning yurt accommodations featuring spectacular mountain views. Visitors can enjoy wood-burning stoves, comfortable bedding, and fire pits while immersing themselves in the natural beauty of the Catskills region. One guest shared, "To our surprise we found this beautiful yurt in the Catskills with views to envy any nature enthusiast. The wood oven stove kept us cozy our entire stay." Jellystone Park Gardiner and Skyway Camping Resort also offer upscale glamping options, including fully-furnished canvas accommodations with electricity, comfortable beds with linens, and modern amenities. Year-Round Scenic Lakefront Glamping provides a more intimate experience with just a single glamping site situated directly on a picturesque lake, offering privacy and exclusivity for those seeking a more secluded nature retreat.
Located along the Beaverkill River, Russell Brook Campsites combines natural beauty with upscale accommodations, making it ideal for glamping enthusiasts who enjoy fishing and riverside relaxation. The campground features clean facilities, spacious sites, and direct access to pristine waters. A visitor noted, "Our site was massive and had direct access to Russell Brook. Very peaceful." Guests at these glamping destinations can explore nearby hiking trails, engage in water activities, or simply relax while taking in mountain and forest views. Fall visits are particularly spectacular as the Catskills transform with vibrant foliage colors. Most glamping sites in the Liberty area remain open from spring through mid-fall, with Year-Round Scenic Lakefront Glamping being the exception, offering winter accommodation options for those seeking off-season glamping experiences. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially for weekend stays during peak summer and fall seasons.

ScoutThis was a great campsite nestled in the foothills of Northern NJ on the NY border. Small, clean with great views and great location for hiking , cruising etc. Bring your tent or use the existing glamping tents. Headed back for a fall weekend in the "dome" which has incredible views. Try it you won't be sorry.
ScoutMe and two friends do a yearly kayak trip down the Delaware river and have progressively moved north each year. This year, MDW of 2023, we were traveling between Narrowsburg, NY and Port Jervis, NY. Traveling 10-15 miles a day, we ended our second day of paddling at Slumberland on the Rivers Edge. The host put out a orange cone that made finding our campsite easy and a nice beach made unloading and loading kayaks pretty easy. The accommodations were top notch, with lights already on, and a table set, along with a grill, fire pit, and covered porch and canvas tent that housed two queen sized beds along with an electric stove and a woodstove. We were able to relax on the adirondack chairs on the deck as the sun went down and our fire (wood provided by host) and the porch lights remained glowing. It was nice change from camping in our tents and sleeping pads as we are used to along the river, as the beds were very comfortable, and the heater and canvas tent kept us warm during 40 degree temperatures at night. It was quiet and peaceful and you had your own space far from the other sites at slumberland (unlike many other campgrounds along the river). We all enjoyed our stay and had a great time and I would highly recommend to any kayak campers along the river looking for more than just a patch of grass to set up a tent on.
LegendWe arrived here early afternoon, which ended up being perfect timing as we could set up everything and catch sunset by the fire. The place is pretty easy to access with paved road the whole way there except for the last 1/2 mile where it is very bumpy. Some might say 4*4 but we made it just fine in our little Camry. There are two campsites located right outside of the park where you can park your car next to your tent but we opted to hike in. The first spot is less than 1/2 mile down the path, with the next three in the next mile. The campsites are very spacious with lots of room between you and other campers, and have a fire pit and some have picnic tables. We had a stellar time just hiking down the path and relaxing by the water. There’s no noise at night apart from the running water of the stream and we had a very peaceful weekend. We’re most definitely returning!
GuideStayed 2 nights and it was really nice. Camping for summer is pretty limited to Sawmill Lake, as the other locations are for groups or winter camping. Camps are secluded from each other and most if not all have an elevated space to put tents or chairs. Each place comes with a lamp hang, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Bathrooms are spaced out. No running water except for pump founded outside of the bathrooms. Toilets are pump flushed. Showers are only located INSIDE High Point State Park, not throughout the campsites, but entry is free for campers. One hiking trail is accessible in Sawmill campground, 3 others are accessible on the road outside of the campground and the rest are located inside the park. When you arrive you have to check in with the park office for your campsite tag. Hours are 8-4. Park officials come through the campsites pretty regularly, a few times a day which is nice. Areas are clean and well maintained.
RangerCampground Review
Stokes State Forest has four campgrounds. The Steam Mill Camping Area is tucked out the of the way and is the most primitive. It is the smallest of the campgrounds with 27 sites only suitable for tents or small trailers/campervans. No pets or alcohol allowed.
The campground has a pit toilet and a well. Each large campsite has a picnic table, fire pit, and lantern hook. Some sites also have a tent platform. Many sites are a bit rocky.
We selected site T219. It was a solid choice: private but close to the toilet and water. Some sites located around the opposite side of the ring back up to a babbling brook. The rushing water will soothe you to sleep.
Remember, this is bear country so proper food storage is a must. Bear lockers are not provided. The area also has ticks and rattlesnakes.
Outdoor activities in the area abound. Go fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, kayaking, and more. There are 21 marked trails that cover over 63 miles within the boundaries of Stokes State Forest. Twelve miles are part of the Appalachian Trail. Pick up a hiking map at the park office or download the Avenza Maps app.
This visit we hiked the Tillman Ravine trail (tip: make the trail a loop and visit both the ravine and the nearby old cemetery).
You can also drive or hike to Sunset Mountain Scenic Overlook for a view of High Point Monument. High Point Monument is the highest elevation in New Jersey and is located in High Point State Park which borders Stokes State Forest on the north. High Point State Park also offers camping, hiking, sightseeing opportunities. And, on the western border of Stokes State Forest is the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. So, there is lots of outdoors to get out and explore!
Product Review
We camped at the Steam Mill Camping Area in Stokes State Forest in our campervan over a chilly autumn weekend. We had the opportunity to cook some soup on our stovetop and chill out by the campfire. And, as Rangers for The Dyrt, we get products to test from time to time so we were psyched to try out some new dinnerware and cutlery. This included the FlexiBowl and GoBites from humangear.
What made these humangear products pretty awesome? Well, the fun colors to start. I mean, seriously, my orange bowl rules. The FlexiBowl also has some neat features: it’s flexible - just like the name suggests - and foldable. The bowl can be squished and stuffed anywhere. And, the top section can be folded down to create a smaller bowl. The FlexiBowl is versatile yet durable. It held my hearty, warm soup just perfectly.
I paired the FlexiBowl with one of the GoBites utensils (the Uno model). The Uno model is my favorite - it has a fork on one side and a spoon on the other side. Very simple and convenient. The other GoBites models include the Duo (separate fork and spoon that can snap together) and the Trio (a fork, spoon, and knife - with bottle opener - in a case).
PRO TIP: I keep the Trio GoBites model in my travel pack at all times. It recently came in handy on a (non-camping) trip to Sardinia. The knife on the Trio allowed me to slice some delicious local cheese to pair with bread, jam, and wine that was purchased from the grocery store. YUM.
ScoutNice, family friendly campground with 3 levels to camp at. Top level has a pool, showers and bathrooms with laundry area and game room. Middle level has open field with bathrooms with sinks and running water. There is water and electric on the sites at the middle level. River level has more primitive bathrooms and some bathrooms with running water. You can camp right next to the river and it has a great view.
ScoutTent cabins
RangerMy first trip to this campground was September 2020. We wanted to get out of the house, but stay clear of other campers during the pandemic. This campsite, CS52, was in the woods and we were able to get the illusion of privacy by parking the cars along the road as a makeshift wall and pitching our tents beside them, facing inward. The other 3/4 of the campsite was bound by trees and shrubs which was nice and why we chose the spot. Other sites are more open and only the darkness of night will give you privacy. Each campsite has a firepit/ring, picnic table, and lantern hook.
We hung out at the campsite mostly, using the fire pit, playing frisbee, and relaxing in our hammocks. When we did roam a bit, there was a nice lake, with seating every so often and a boat dock ramp thing in the campground. There was also a playground, beach, pavilion, and picnic tables, but we did not use any of that.
Campsite sells fire wood. Clean bathrooms with flush toilets and showers, masks required for the pandemic.
LegendLocation- 4 stars- close to NYC but kinda just in the woods and close to homes, not much around.
Sites- 4 stars- a real mixed bag- the rv/trailer only section is really nice, wooded. Has a classic campground feel. The other tent/cabin side was loud and not private. Ours is really great- very woodsy and private, close to amenities.
Staff- 5 stars. Friendly and helpful.
Camping Clientele- 4- a real mixed bag here too.
Amenities- 4 stars. Two pools but both were overcrowded. Playground was large and in decent condition. Mini golf looked pretty small and basic. Jumping pad was under construction and closed, oh well.
Pleasant place overall. Worked well for us as a one night stop. Kids really enjoyed it.
The Catskills region around Liberty, New York features diverse terrain with elevations ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 feet, creating distinct microclimates that affect camping conditions throughout the year. Temperatures can drop significantly at night even in summer months, with typical summer highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s. Most glamping options in Liberty, New York are concentrated along waterways, providing easy access to fishing and water recreation.
Fishing excursions: Roscoe Campsites provides direct access to the Beaverkill River, known for excellent trout fishing. "Right on the Beaverkill River, it's quiet, clean, gorgeous, brand new cabins and concrete pads. Fisherman's heaven," notes Richard V. The area is nicknamed "Trout Town USA" and fishing licenses can be purchased in downtown Roscoe, just 3 minutes from the campground.
Water activities: Tube rentals are available near many campgrounds, though some campers recommend bringing your own equipment. At Kittatinny Campground, you can purchase activity packages that include river tubing. "Don't cheap out. Get the tubing package as well," advises Kendra P. The Delaware River offers calmer waters suitable for beginners and children, with tube rentals typically costing $20-40 depending on duration.
Hiking trails: Forest exploration opportunities abound with trails for all skill levels. At Alder Lake, campers can access multiple trails directly from camp. "The hike around the lake is a lovely, easy walk. The hike trail that connects to the far end of the lake is 6+ miles and while there were no real views, it was lovely. We also hiked the balsam lake fire tower which had nice views of the area," shares Erik C.
Waterfront sites: Many campers specifically seek riverside and lakefront camping spots. At Russell Brook Campsites, water access is a major draw. "Our site was massive (39) and had direct access to Russell Brook. Couldn't keep my son out of the water. Very peaceful," one camper shared. The sound of flowing water enhances the sleeping experience: "The best part is the waterfront sites. We were right next to a small brook, and falling asleep to the sound of the water behind our tent was amazing."
Family amenities: Campgrounds with dedicated children's activities get high marks from family campers. "This campground is great for kids. It has events just about every weekend with kid activities," notes Jennifer I. about Jellystone Park Gardiner. The water features are particularly popular: "Nice pool that is shallow so you can relax and let the little ones go in the water park section alone or they have a 3 ft pool also."
Quiet weekday escapes: Midweek stays offer a more serene experience at most campgrounds. "Only ever been during mid week and the place is empty which is nice," reports Mike C. about Roscoe Campsites. For those seeking maximum seclusion, Alder Lake provides more isolated options: "The campsites are very spacious with lots of room between you and other campers, and have a fire pit and some have picnic tables."
Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds operate from May through October, with limited winter options. Oakland Valley Campground organizes its sites by level: "Top level has a pool, showers and bathrooms with laundry area and game room. Middle level has open field with bathrooms with sinks and running water. River level has more primitive bathrooms." River levels can affect activities – during dry periods, streams may be too shallow for proper kayaking.
Site selection matters: Campsites vary widely in privacy, terrain, and amenities even within the same campground. At Roscoe Campsites, "The 'tent sites' are VERY close together, and there is nothing separating them. If you're looking for quiet seclusion, don't even remotely consider this spot as an option." For tents specifically, ground conditions can be problematic: "The ground is worn over and very rocky. If you visit, bring incredibly thick sleeping pads or air mattresses if you want to sleep semi-comfortably."
Noise levels: Weekends bring larger crowds and higher noise levels at most campgrounds. One camper at Kittatinny noted: "A great place if you're a college kid looking to blast music and party into the late hours. Loud music blasting until 1-2am and it picks back up by 9-10am." For quieter stays, choose more secluded campgrounds or midweek visits when "the place is empty which is nice."
Farm activities: Some campgrounds include farm experiences that engage children. At Roscoe Campsites, "The farm, playground, beach, and shallow river make it a great, easy entry point for new and younger campers." These activities provide structured entertainment without additional cost.
Water safety considerations: Rivers in the region vary in depth and current strength throughout the season. A camper at Roscoe noted concerns with rental activities: "With how shallow the river was, I would have been pretty nervous to take a tumble out of a kayak or paddle board. Maybe the river is higher at different times of the year and these activities are less dangerous?"
Playground proximity: Site location relative to playgrounds affects noise levels. At Jellystone Park Gardiner, some campers report: "Kids were at the playground 8 am or before and the noise woke us up. The kids were around until about 10:30 or so each night." Consider whether you prefer convenience or quiet when selecting your site.
Site leveling challenges: Many RV sites in the region require significant leveling. At Oakland Valley Campground, RVers note "the sites were a bit difficult to back into and unlevel. Otherwise a very nice place to relax."
Full hookup availability: Thousand Trails Rondout Valley provides comprehensive RV services with recent upgrades. "Many upgrades have been made over the past year which include all new SWE (full hookups) street lighting, and campground markings/numbering," notes a regular visitor. The campground offers a service to collect waste from your RV if you don't want to move to the dump station.
Firewood quality issues: Several campgrounds sell firewood of varying quality. At Roscoe Campsites, one camper advised: "Don't buy their wood - it didn't burn and was a waste of $ and time." Bringing your own seasoned firewood from within 50 miles is permitted at most sites, helping avoid frustration with damp or green wood.
