2 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Soaring Eagle Campground and the Inn at Kellam's Bridge offers spacious riverfront campsites where pets are welcome alongside their owners. Several pet-friendly campgrounds in the Long Eddy area provide designated spaces for dogs with clean facilities and access to outdoor recreation. Russell Brook Campsites features large sites with direct access to the water, making it ideal for dogs who enjoy swimming. Skinners Falls Campground allows pets at their waterfront sites, including lean-to accommodations. Most campgrounds maintain clean bathrooms and shower facilities while offering various accommodation types including tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins that accept pets. Campers consistently note the clean facilities and peaceful atmosphere at these riverside locations. The riverfront locations provide excellent opportunities for fishing while keeping pets cool during summer camping trips.
The Delaware River access points at these campgrounds create natural recreation areas where dogs can cool off during hot weather. Multiple hiking trails near Roscoe Campsites and Little Pond Campground provide pet exercise opportunities with varied terrain. Campgrounds typically require pets to remain leashed when outside designated areas, and owners should bring proof of vaccinations. Weekday camping offers a quieter experience with fewer crowds, especially important when camping with pets that may be sensitive to noise or other animals. Bear Spring Mountain and Beaverkill Campground both allow pets and provide access to excellent fishing spots where dogs can safely accompany their owners. The natural wooded settings provide ample shade during summer months, important for preventing pet overheating. Most campgrounds maintain pet waste stations, though campers should bring their own waste bags as backup.

"We didn’t have a view of the lake, instead we were in someone’s back yard lol. It wasn’t a big deal. The site was well maintained and flat which were the most important."
"I stayed on a lakeside electric/water site for 5 nights in August 2020. It was SO BEAUTIFUL. We had SUPs and kayaks to take on the lake and our sites were right next to the boat launch. "
"We were right next to a small brook, and falling asleep to the sound of the water behind our tent was amazing. Everyone we met was super friendly. We will definitely be back!"

TravelerFree site ran by Peekemoose forest. There are supposed to be 12 along throughout the valley, this is the only one we were able to locate. Was able to access easily with a minivan and has a nice flat area. Can see the highway from the site.
ScoutOctober leaves starting to fall makes for a very quiet, peaceful midweek evening in one of the two dispersed car camping sites. Exactly what I was hoping for - private and empty and lovely. Easy to find - two dispersed car sites are to the left at the fork in the road before the trailhead.
GuideStayed October 14 without reservations because website showed lots of availability. Office was closed (M-F 8-4) so submitted honor system envelope with cash and stayed at Site 041 on Carpenter loop. Shower building was a short walk and was spacious enough. Water temp didn’t quite reach hot but was warm enough.
Electric kept on tripping breaker.
ScoutI stayed here in March 2026 for a night before going snowboarding at Belleayre Mountain. It was in the middle of a snowstorm on a Tuesday night, so I had the whole place to myself, which was nice.
ScoutNice campground, bathrooms are clean but dated, first come first serve for the sites.
Travelerbeautiful quiet space, great home base for the Catskills and small towns around here. note there's only a few spots. road conditions were fine.
ScoutThis clothing-optional campground has a highly toxic, intrusive, and vindictive environment. During my stay, the seasonal permanent residents('perms') subjected me to intense harassment, inappropriate sexual advances, and severe social retaliation/rumor-spreading when those advances were rejected. The situation escalated to the point where an employee had to intervene for my safety. Furthermore, despite management allowing my photo to be taken in costume at a party, I was intentionally blocked from the community group where the photos were posted, leaving me unable to monitor how my image was being used. Avoid this place if you value your privacy, personal boundaries, and safety.
RangerI'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.
GuideWe went the 2nd week of October and seems like we had just missed the foliage peak but it was still beautiful.
Everyone minded their business and most sites were 2-4 people, showers were clean and warm but the kind where you gotta push the button every 30 seconds. Toilets were clean and running smoothly (we were in the southernmost loop, closest to the camp office)
No cellphone reception but we could get satellite signal to text our loved ones that we were alive and well!
We loved the hiking and especially kayaking on the pond

The campsites are pretty spacious and lots of community green space in the center of a circular campground."
