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
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.
LegendI really enjoyed camping at Shotwell. To get there, you have to drive about 2 miles down a road away from the welcome center. This is nice because it is quiet from traffic from cars. Each campsite is fairly big and far enough away from each other so you feel like you have your own space. Some of the sites had a platform to set up your tent on which is nice, especially if you are going after it recently rained. Our site had a picnic table and fire ring. There was a communal bathroom which was fairly well maintained and a large dumpster near the front of the site to drop off your trash. They did have a cabin-like option but I did not stay in it and do not know much about renting those.
Glamping options near Parksville, New York range from cozy yurts to waterfront cabins across the eastern Catskills region, situated approximately 1,300-1,800 feet above sea level.

Winter camping options remain limited with most facilities closing from November through April.
Hiking around Balsam Lake Fire Tower: Located within day-trip distance from Russell Brook Campsites, this moderate 5.8-mile round trip hike rewards with panoramic views. "Have stayed at RB multiple times over the years since Charlie ran the place. It's an awesome visit to the woods. As close to nature as possible with modern conveniences still nearby," notes Brian J.
Family river activities: Roscoe Campsites provides direct access to the Beaverkill River with multiple water recreation options. "Great access to the beaverkill. It's perfect for a quick getaway," shares Mike C. Fishing enthusiasts particularly appreciate the river access, with Richard V. adding that it's "Right on the Beaverkill River, it's quiet, clean, gorgeous, brand new cabins and concrete pads. Fisherman's heaven."
Seasonal lake activities: Multiple campgrounds offer lake-based recreation from spring through fall. Alder Lake features a peaceful hiking loop around the water. "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," explains Erik C.
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathroom facilities. "Bathrooms were very clean every time we needed them, and they were easy to access from the tent sites," mentions one visitor to Roscoe Campsites. At Jellystone Park Gardiner, families appreciate the maintained facilities despite the family-oriented atmosphere.
Family-friendly programming: Structured activities keep younger campers engaged. "This campground has a lot of activities and has kids of all ages galore. I was worried my 12 year old would be too old for it but he enjoyed making friends there," notes Stephanie H. about Jellystone Park Gardiner.
Secluded camping options: For those seeking quieter glamping close to Parksville, New York, several campgrounds offer more isolated sites. "The campsites are very spacious with lots of room between you and other campers, and have a fire pit and some have picnic tables," observes Nora S. about Alder Lake. "We're most definitely returning!"
Site variation considerations: Campsite quality varies significantly within individual campgrounds. "Our site was massive (39) and and direct access to Russell Brook. Couldn't keep my son out of the water," shares Mike C. about Russell Brook Campsites. However, at other locations like 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."
Weather preparedness: The Catskills region experiences significant seasonal variation. Pack appropriate gear for temperature fluctuations, especially for spring and fall camping when nights can drop below 40°F. Morning dew and occasional rain can create muddy conditions at many sites.
Reservation timing: Most glamping accommodations near Parksville require advance booking, especially for summer weekends and fall foliage season. Some campgrounds operate seasonally with limited availability. Year-Round Scenic Lakefront Glamping offers one of the few wintertime glamping options in the region.
Beginner-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds cater specifically to first-time campers and families. "The farm, playground, beach, and shallow river make it a great, easy entry point for new and younger campers," reports Justin H. about Roscoe Campsites, making it ideal for introducing children to outdoor experiences.
Safety considerations: Check campground layouts before booking with children. Some riverfront sites present water safety concerns. "While snagging a campsite next to the river is nice in terms of ambiance, it also means that you get to act as the gatekeeper for every other camper trying to get to the beach area," warns one visitor about high-traffic areas.
Kid-focused activities: Thousand Trails Rondout Valley offers structured recreation options for children. "This campground is great. Lots of activities a pool access, food court and basketball courts," notes Kaitlin B. The creek running through the property provides additional entertainment, with one visitor sharing, "The creek that runs by the campground is gorgeous, and my kids had fun finding Crayfish."
Hookup availability: Electric and water connections vary widely between glamping sites near Parksville. RVers should verify specific hookup types before booking. "We had our full hookup site minus the neighbors' weekend ragers. (At least they turned off the music at quiet hours)," shares one RVer about Thousand Trails Rondout Valley.
Site grading challenges: Some campgrounds present leveling difficulties for larger vehicles. "It wasn't the easiest for my RV van to get up the hill with the ruts, but I have a small lift so it helps, lower clearance vans might not make it," warns SJ W. about Alder Lake. Concrete pads at locations like Roscoe Campsites provide more stable setup options.
RV-friendly amenities: Many glamping locations accommodate both tent and RV campers with varying levels of services. Firewood availability, trash disposal, and dump stations differ between properties, requiring advance planning for longer stays.
