Many sites provide picnic tables and fire rings where pets can relax alongside their owners. The quiet, family-friendly atmosphere makes it particularly suitable for camping with well-behaved dogs.

The campground provides unlimited firewood for evening campfires with your dog. When visiting with pets, the Roscoe area offers additional outdoor recreation including fishing along the Beaverkill River. Some campers note the proximity of sites to each other at certain campgrounds can limit privacy for those with active dogs, making it worth requesting more secluded spots when available.

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.
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!
TravelerGood for skinny dipping and other fun things! Most acidic lake in New York but completely safe.
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.
Parksville camping options sit within New York's Catskill region at approximately 1,400 feet elevation. Summer temperatures typically range from 50-80°F, with cooler nights even during warm months. The area features multiple waterways including the Beaverkill River and several ponds and lakes that support diverse fishing opportunities.
Fly fishing access: The Beaverkill River near Beaverkill Campground offers premier trout fishing. "The area is fun and Mongaup pond is close by," notes camper Guy M., who appreciated the river access.
Paddling opportunities: Little Pond Campground provides kayak and canoe rentals for exploring its clear waters. "Got a kayak for the day and it was a great rate. Saw beavers and eagles," reports Lauren S., who enjoyed the wildlife viewing opportunities.
Hiking trails: Several campgrounds connect to trail networks. At Alder Lake, "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," according to camper Erik C.
Private waterfront sites: Some campgrounds offer secluded sites directly on water. At Woodland Valley Campground, "The mountain creek is like nature singing a lullaby - sleeping next to it was very relaxing," shares John N., highlighting the peaceful sleeping conditions.
Quiet atmosphere: Many campgrounds maintain tranquil environments. "We had a wonderful weekend of peace and quiet. Definitely returning!" writes Nora S. about her experience at Alder Lake, which offers free camping with more seclusion than some established campgrounds.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms are a priority for many campers. "Bathrooms are clean and the campground is kept clean also," notes William J F. about Hunter Lake Campgrounds, mentioning it runs "like a family campground should be run."
Reservation systems vary: Hunter Lake Campgrounds requires calling ahead and mailing payment, which some find challenging. One camper noted: "The only way to make a reservation is by calling them (and then apparently you have to mail them a check or money order to reserve your spot)."
Limited cell service: Most campgrounds have minimal or no reception. At Little Pond, "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," reports Giselle P.
Site privacy considerations: Campsite spacing varies significantly between locations. At Beaverkill Campground, "My only complaint would be the size of each campsite. Some are larger than others but overall most sites are fairly small and there isn't much privacy between them," notes Luke S.
Child-friendly activities: Jellystone Park offers extensive kid-focused amenities. "The resorts is decked out with 2 playgrounds, a splash park, kiddie pool, family pool and hot tub. They have activities on the weekends with Yogi the mascot such as wagon rides, dance parties, arts n crafts," shares Sambath T.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Many campgrounds offer chances to observe local fauna. "Saw beavers and eagles," mentions Lauren S. about Little Pond Campground, making it ideal for nature education with children.
Consider site location: When camping with children, waterfront sites require supervision. One camper at Beaverkill Campground mentioned, "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."
Size limitations: Many Catskill campgrounds have tight access roads and limited space. At Covered Bridge Campsite, "The roads are tight for larger trailers/RV's and some sites are very hard to get into," warns a camper, adding that "20 & 30 amp service available with water at nearly every site."
Seasonal options: Some campgrounds cater primarily to seasonal RVers. "The majority of the trailer/RV's here are seasonal people," notes a reviewer about Covered Bridge Campsite, which can limit availability for travelers.
Utility access: Check hook-up availability before booking. "No sewers. You can dump nearby at Mongaup State Park if needed," advises a camper about nearby dumping options when utilities are limited at your primary campground.
