ScoutThe campsite was great. Big and going after Labor Day means there was tons of space. Well priced. We did have neighbors that had a trailer and used their generator early in the morning and late at night. Beside that it was fantastic. We had planned on driving to hiking but there was so much to do around the camp site we just walked around and did the hiking near by. The dog park is wonderful. Our dog loved it.
GuideLots of room in many sites for my 24 ft RV and 30 ft trailer. Big meadow in middle with new full playground set.
Dry camping but water available and a sewer dump. Gotta haul your own trash.
Two ponds to play in and a fenced dog park.
Some nice hiking in the park.
GuideSuch a clean and well maintained campground. Staff were so nice and friendly. Only one shower area that was a bit of a trek from our site, a bike would have been nice to get around. We had to move our tent as we had set it back too far and was not on the site pad and park ranger Brian who was very lovely came and asked us to move it and we had a nice chat. Lovely big dog park. There are some nice little walks and small hikes on the ground with a lake that you can rent kayaks or canoes. Close to Woodstock which is a cute town. Our site was a little exposed but the sites either side of us were closed for restoration thankfully. There are some more secluded and set back sites too though.
ScoutRecently, we camped here for a week. We don’t ever post negative reviews like this. The last day, we experienced a violent attack by a very large and aggressive Pit Bull. The Pit Bull did not have a collar or a leash and was accidently let out of the RV to roam free and unsupervised. It immediately ran to our site(4 sites away) and attacked our dog that was tied at the time. The incident was unprovoked. While trying to save our dog, my wife and I were also attacked. The wounds were serious enough to require emergency transport to a hospital for treatment including stitches. All we could think of was what might have happened if our granddaughter had been playing with our dog.
To put it mildly, their existing pet policy is grossly lacking. They never checked what breed of dog or ask to see documentation of shots when we were registering. Yogi Bear Jellystone Park needs to better manage their pet policy to address aggressive dog breeds and ensure the safety of campers. We camped there for seven days and saw multiple sites have more than one large dog, which in many places we’ve camped at would have been banned due to breed type or size. We have RV’ed extensively across the US and have never seen such careless enforcement of a pet policy regarding aggressive dog breeds. Seriously, think about avoiding this park if you have pets or small children.
TravelerGood for skinny dipping and other fun things! Most acidic lake in New York but completely safe.
LegendWe were on a 5 state East Coast camping trip. Our first campground was in New York Aug 8th. Unfortunately, Debbie was socking New York hard. North South Lake Campground in the Catskills was our camping home. Thursday & Friday it was Neverending rain & wind. Saturday was the nice day.
North South Lake has no electricity. The sites are almost all beautiful, tucked in under shady trees. Not a good way to try out our solar panel! Some are by a stream. A few are by the lake. This is a tent campers paradise. New York tent campers are hard core camping during Tropical Storm Debbie!
There are 7 loops. We were in loop 2. Site 85. There are some sites with an incline down to the site. That might give some rvs trouble. It did for us & I had to be driven out of the campground to call 911. Thank you Mary!! It all ended well & we got a different site.
There are bears that visit the campground & one came one of the nights & visited our camping neighbor's site. They showed us a picture- it was a large black bear.
Generators are allowed for 5 hours & they tell you when you can use them.
The bathrooms/showers are state park clean- which means not very.
There is NO cell service & just forget about WiFi. You are unplugged.
This is a hiking park & for this middle aged overweight flatlander they are pretty strenuous. Kaaterskill Falls is an exception - short, easy trail, but the parking fills up quickly. Then they close it! You'll have to take a shuttle to get in.
The trail to the Mountain House Site is also pretty easy, with more of an incline.
There's 2 nice lakes with beaches.
The Catskills are very scenic& we enjoyed our time there!
GuideThis campground is nestled in the Catskills, New York, with easy access to New Jersey and Connecticut. With large campsites and most surrounded by trees, you will find just the right mix of privacy and community depending upon what you are looking for. Although the showers aren't top notch, they do have them and a great recycling center for all of your garbage. If hiking is what you enjoy, they have nearly 4 miles of trails within the campground and surrounding areas that circle two nearby ponds and their day use area. If you are looking for something offsite, don't miss the Giant Ledge hike, a 30 min drive and about a 3 mile out and back hike to Giant Ledge for amazing views overlooking the entire area. Head out to watch the sunrise one morning with awesome views looking east. When you need a break from cooking, don't miss the nearby Phoenicia Diner for some great breakfast and coffee! All of the Park Rangers are very helpful and will provide recommendations and maps, just ask!
TravelerA bit off the beaten path for a KOA, but nearly sold out in early October nonetheless. Sites range from typical large rig to dispersed tents next to a creek. The tent sites with electric like the one we took used 240v 50A plugs, so we had to borrow a converter plug form the office for our 120v equipment. Only one bath house and it’s a bit dated. Very pet friendly including a dog play pen. Pool looked nice and was still open in early October.
TravelerNorth South lake is one of the larger public camp grounds in New York. The sites are well spaced out. Great for families. The lake is huge.
Avoid holidays to avoid the crowds.

Fishing opportunities: Little Pond Campground offers a stocked pond for anglers. "We saw beavers and eagles," notes Lauren S., who rented a kayak during her stay. The water remains clear and comfortable for swimming through mid-August.
Water activities: Paddle sports are available at multiple locations. "The beach area is clean and the water is clear," reports Giselle P. about Little Pond, where kayaks and canoes are available for rent. The small pond provides safe conditions for beginners and children.
Hiking trails: Access to Catskills hiking routes begins right from some campgrounds. At Woodland Valley Campground, campers can access trails leading to Slide Mountain. "This is an excellent site if you're looking to explore the Slide Mountain Wilderness," writes Derek W., highlighting its strategic location for backpacking preparation.
Privacy levels: Campsite layout varies significantly between locations. At Woodland Valley, Mike C. found "Very private and right on the pond. You can see a picture here of the water just a 10 foot trail away from our campsite." Walk-in sites generally offer more seclusion than drive-up options.
Natural sounds: The flowing water creates peaceful ambient noise at certain sites. John N. writes about Woodland Valley: "The mountain creek is like nature singing a lullaby - sleeping next to it was very relaxing; weather was great and we could see the stars through the canopy."
Clean facilities: Beaverkill Campground maintains well-kept bathrooms and common areas. According to Luke S., "The bathrooms were clean and well stocked and even though they ran out of toilet paper, they were fast to refill it." Sean F. noted that "Bathrooms were very cleaned and everybody respected COVID-related social distancing."
Cell service limitations: Most campgrounds in this area have limited or no connectivity. At Little Pond, Giselle P. warns: "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."
Bear safety protocols: Several campgrounds require proper food storage. Lauren S. explains that at Little Pond, "Each walk in site has its own bear box and outhouse." Always secure food items when not actively cooking or eating.
Reservation processes: Some campgrounds maintain traditional booking systems. At Hunter Lake Campgrounds, reservations must be made by phone, with William J F. confirming: "Yes I did have to mail a check for my reservation. Most of the sites are seasonal and there are very nice tent sites as well."
Kid-focused amenities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park offers extensive children's activities. Sambath T. shares: "Our 21 month old had the time of his life here! The resorts is decked out with 2 playgrounds, a splash park, kiddie pool, family pool and hot tub."
Quiet environment enforcement: Rules regarding noise levels protect family sleep schedules. Stacey R. notes about Jellystone Park: "They are strict with quiet time. Maybe a little too strict, once the kids were finally asleep it was quiet time and we were told to basically go to bed too."
Transportation considerations: Consider renting golf carts at certain larger campgrounds. Sambath T. advises: "Make sure you reserve a golf cart if you stay during the weekend- it's a must have to get from place to place and our little guy loved it!"
Site accessibility: Covered Bridge Campsite presents challenges for larger vehicles. A reviewer notes: "The roads are tight for larger trailers/RVs and some sites are very hard to get into. 20 & 30 amp service available with water at nearly every site."
Dump station locations: Know where to empty tanks when staying at campgrounds without full hookups. At Covered Bridge Campsite: "No sewers. You can dump nearby at Mongaup State Park if needed."
Pet friendly camping near Liberty, New York: Most established campgrounds welcome leashed pets. Jesse S. recommends Hunter Lake Campgrounds as "a quiet well kept campground right on a lake. Great family friendly campground and the owners are the best." Dogs must remain on leash and some areas may be off-limits to pets.
