Best Glamping near New Baltimore, NY

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.

The campground has 3 sections, located on different tiers of a hill. The lower level has RV sites, middle has tent sites, and upper has a few yurts. Each level has a bath house (3 toilet stalls and 1 shower in the lower level; it was run-down but clean enough). Outside the entrance station (near the RV sites) is a HUGE power station that emits a hum constantly. Super annoying and an eyesore. You’ll see many vehicles drive-by with boats or ATVs in tow as the state forest also has areas suitable for their use. Accessible from the campground are a few hiking trails. Monument Mountain is a popular hiking spot about 20 minutes away and Bash Bish Falls State Park is about 45 minutes away. Note: Massachusetts does not allow alcohol in their parks.

Treetopia is in a class all by itself! We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at the campground. We went in late September and stayed on one of their deck sites with our Class B (Winnebago). I LOVED sitting out on the deck every morning for my coffee while taking in the fall air. It’s obvious that the campground recently underwent major renovation the bathrooms and showers are out of this world! Best of any campground we’ve ever visited!

I highly recommend the deck sites to people small to moderate sized RVs and for large rigs they have some big sites.

Stayed here for a few days while on a week long trip. The bathroom and bathhouse were a bit run down looking from the outside, but inside they were updated and clean. The left over of hurricane Henri passed through during our stay so we were unable to utilize any of the facilities. During the heavy rains water flowed down the roads ways due to the clay based soil and looked like it pooled up in places near the tent areas. We stayed here in a travel trailer.

Ranger review: GCI at Brookside Campground

CAMPGROUND REVIEW We ended up at this campground because the family we were traveling with needed to accommodate their 50 foot camper. As a rule of thumb- I try to visit as little RV parks as I can, but we were trying to find somewhere that would accommodate both of our needs.

While it is true that this campground does specialize in large groups and is one of the only places in the area that will host a rig as big as my uncles, that was about the only thing it had going for it.

Grounds were dilapidated. It was like they had too much to handle. The lawn was overgrown at our site, the bathrooms were always in need of something... it was just a glorified trailer park.

I will say that the spots were spacious, particularly pertaining to tent sites. However- the brook that the campground is named after is mostly stagnant. So prepare for an abundance of mosquitos!

Another perk is the location. It was really nice to be right near The Catskills. However, I will most definitely be taking advantage of the smaller and quieter campgrounds around.

Would recommend for: people with big rigs. Large groups with children. The sports “complex” and pool actually looked very nice and well maintained. There were kids everywhere.

RANGER REVIEW ON... GCI OUTDOOR CHAIRS

So if you’ve been keeping up with my ranger reviews, you know I am always very pleasantly surprised by the things I’ve gotten the opportunity to test out that I never knew I needed. Camping Chairs were actually on my list of things to acquire this year for our trips, so I was psyched (as usual) when I found out GCI Outdoors would be what I got to check out.

I purchased the “Eazy” chair and the Roadtrip Rocker.

So first, the Eazy chair. It’s a good looking chair that comes packed away in a pouch that slings over your shoulder. It’s pretty heavy, but we happened to be car camping this time around so that wasn’t a big deal. The arm rests are sturdy, the chair is comfortable to sit in.

The Roadtrip rocker I was really excited about. And the thing is pretty awesome. The patented hydrolics is pretty nifty and it’s really neat how it works. I was surprised to find that it packed so easily into its sack, and has a sling so that you can carry it where you need to go.

We found this site on Campendium, we needed a site close to the Lebanon Valley Speedway to watch a friend race. Our site #1A was a quick back in site with full hookups and a perfect view day or night, right on their pond.

This area has a large seasonal population but they are super friendly and it was a pleasure to see the kids (and adults) fishing, paddling on the lake, swimming in the designated area and sitting/playing on the nice beach. Over the weekend they had organized corn hole games and several other ways to get physical and have a blast. They also had a community “Father’s Day” breakfast (fathers ate free!) which was open to all and yummy!

Ashley here with The Dyrt, extending a warm welcome to your host Rachel. This property is rented to others to help maintain and expand native and pollinating species of plants. Book your stay in this sweet cabin and come back here to leave them some love.

Seen my Google review has been hidden so the public eye don’t see it now I’ll be going on all platforms showing what a disappointment the campground is As you can see how the owners of this business respond to any low rating review with aggression& sarcasm. Their favorite line is“thank you for taking the time to respond but if you’re going to tell the story tell the story right”. Worst experience ever and the customer service here is trash just like this location. Bathrooms are barely cleaned and let’s be reminded we are still in a pandemic it should be cleaned frequently. You can tell and feel prejudiced vibes. And to clear up the story the owners were harassing us since yesterday8/8/2021. God forbid we were having a good time. Came to our campsite to shut the music off by 8 mind you quiet time is 11 pm see attachment. Tony came over to let us know we were a bit loud and Melanie came abruptly using profanity in front of the children. We all went to sleep and were uncomfortable in how she spoke to us. This morning she came out of no where and asked when we were leaving. We had reservations till Tuesday8/10/2021. She said we were kicked off and needed us to leave within an hour. We’re a large group with small children. The police understood that and didn’t give us a hard time. We weren’t escorted out. They agreed with us and told us to take are time. I really wish I can upload videos*** Dont recommend this location

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.

@geometry dash lite talk with me It is quite peaceful, spotless, and well worth the money. The showers are hot and have lots of water pressure. The cleanliness of the facilities at the campsite is influenced by the volume of activity.

Labor Day Weekend stay. A lot of people! Very nice beach but packed. Huge parties at the picnic area. If your okey with all that then it was a great time. Cottage was great besides all the bees.

Great beach, 5 minute drive from campgound. Clean facilities, with a rec room for rainy days. A camp store with all the supplies you might have forgotten.

One caveat: beware of site G006. The grill at the fire pit is upside down, so it doesn't hold level above the fire. Impossible to use. I had to MacGuyver it with a large rock and wedge the grill into place, and then level it with a log. We were lucky that I was able to find these things, otherwise we would have been cooking on our single stove that night. Also, this site was downwind, so occasionally was in the cloud of septic stench.

My advice would be to take the sites on the hill, nearest to the bathrooms, as all these sites seemed to be generally very well maintained.

I went there with a friend and her family on Tuesday and it was awesome!
