2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds operate within 30 miles of Margaretville, New York, accommodating various vehicle sizes and camping preferences. Thousand Trails Rondout Valley in Accord offers full hookup sites with water, sewer, and electric connections, operating from April through November. Country Roads Campground in Gilboa provides 118 sites with 30/50 amp electrical service on mostly dirt surfaces, open from mid-May to Columbus Day. Skyway Camping Resort features big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp electrical hookups and sewer connections in a heavily wooded setting. Lake Taghkanic State Park Campground includes RV sites with electrical hookups, though navigation may be challenging for larger motorhomes. "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."
Seasonal considerations significantly impact RV travel planning in the Catskills region. Many parks close from late October through April, with some offering limited winterized sites. Dump stations are available at most developed campgrounds, though several reviewers note that pull-through sites are rare in the mountainous terrain. Cell service varies considerably throughout the area, with several campers reporting minimal coverage at more remote locations. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard leash requirements. Propane fill services are limited, with most campgrounds not offering on-site refills. During peak fall foliage season, advance reservations become essential as the limited number of motorhome sites fill quickly. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, campground roads throughout the region often feature tight turns and elevation changes that may challenge drivers of larger RVs, particularly those towing additional vehicles.

GuideMade a reservation (site44) since I arrived as the sun had set. Office registration was open until 8. Staff was neither friendly nor unfriendly. Bathroom was dated but fine and a short walk from my site. CG was emptier being a Tuesday night in mid-October, so was plenty of space.
Great trail following the Hudson River. Beautiful fall colors.
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.
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
ScoutThis is a very pleasant campground just a couple of miles off the interstate. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Full hookups at most sites. Many amenities available. A very quiet setting to rest and repose. Highly recommended!
GuideWe were in campsite 20 with lots of room. The first night we were there we were near very loud groups which was difficult to sleep through. The next night everyone cleared out and we had a peaceful crowd. Bathrooms are nice, the park has great hiking trails and a nice day use area! There is also an area where we can rent canoes. I would definitely return, just wish there was a little more crowd control.
GuideReally liked it. Love the layout, with camp sites having mowed paths to the restrooms and showers in the middle of each loop. Nicest showers and rest rooms we have seen so far. Each site has brush between them so you can not see your neighbors. Pretty, quiet, relaxing. The groomed hiking trails are the best and Arctic Lake is beautiful. Staff were so nice, and loved doing the scavenger hunt!

Creek exploration: Thousand Trails Rondout Valley offers access to a stream where families can enjoy nature discovery. "The creek that runs by the campground is gorgeous, and my kids had fun finding Crayfish," notes camper Kasey M.
Paddling on calm waters: Lake activities are popular at state parks in the region. "The lake is beautiful and clean. Expect to pay $15 fee (I think) to use your paddleboards / kyacks etc. Worth every penny," reports Mellisa T. about her experience.
Stargazing opportunities: Clear mountain nights provide excellent viewing conditions. "Late night, stargazing over the lake is a great pastime, because the water is calm and the light pollution is low," according to Seth K. who visited in October.
Hiking nearby trails: Several campgrounds provide easy access to hiking trails of varying difficulty. "We also hiked the balsam lake fire tower which had nice views of the area," mentions Erik C., who enjoyed the trails connecting to Alder Lake.
Peaceful water sounds: Many campers appreciate riverside sites for their natural ambiance. "Our site was on the Beaverkill River and provided a nice tranquil sound. We even had a resident chipmunk who was a blast to see running around looking for crumbs," writes Luke S.
Clean facilities: Campers frequently mention bathroom cleanliness as a highlight. "Showers are hot and there's great water pressure. The cleanliness of the bathrooms depends on how busy the campground is," explains Perrin M.
Family-friendly amenities: Country Roads Campground caters to families with organized activities. "They have special events in a pavilion near the RVs including bingo," notes William R., who appreciated the campground's layout.
Spacious sites: Some campgrounds offer more room between neighbors. "The sites are larger than most campgrounds and well spaced out. I have been there on busy holiday weekends where it was full but still peaceful and private," shares Nichole P.
Cell service limitations: Mobile coverage can be spotty in the mountainous terrain. "No cell service. If you bring a handsaw youll be good for firewood. Bugs were pretty bad," reports camper Gabe about his stay at Alder Lake.
Site spacing varies: Some campgrounds have tighter quarters than others. "My only complaint would be the size of each campsite. Some are larger than others but overall most sites are fairly small and there isnt much privacy between them," according to Luke S. at Beaverkill Campground.
Seasonal operating schedules: Most campgrounds in the Margaretville area close by mid-October. "We went on weekdays which is not crowded. Wal-Mart was 25 minutes from the campsite which make making meals lots simpler," shares George L. about planning his trip timing.
Popular weekend crowds: Some locations get busy during peak season. "We ended up leaving early without even staying the night because it was so packed and pretty loud. If you're looking for a relaxing, quiet camping experience, this isn't the place for you," cautions Colleen J. about a summer weekend visit.

Swimming beaches: Lake Taghkanic State Park Campground offers popular swimming areas. "Very nice beach but packed. Huge parties at the picnic area. If your okey with all that then it was a great time," advises Taylor P. about holiday weekend visits.
Kid-friendly tent sites: Some campgrounds offer tent areas away from RVs. "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," reports William R.
Multiple activity options: Look for campgrounds with diverse recreation. "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. The campsites are very spacious with lots of room between you and other campers," notes Nora S.
