2 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Jellystone Park Gardiner hosts luxury safari tents and yurts with modern comforts, providing families a stylish alternative to traditional camping in the scenic Hudson Valley. These glamping accommodations feature comfortable beds with linens, electricity, and private decks overlooking the Shawangunk Ridge. "This is a very nice campground for families. Has a lot of activities and facilities for campers," noted one visitor. Historic Hudson Valley Riverside Hemp Farm, rated 5 stars by visitors, offers distinctive glamping sites with amenities including drinking water, picnic tables, and eco-friendly facilities while maintaining an authentic outdoor experience. The nearby Thousand Trails Rondout Valley also features premium yurts and glamping options with full hookups, allowing guests to enjoy upscale accommodations without sacrificing modern conveniences.
The waterpark at Jellystone Park stands as the centerpiece of on-site recreation, complemented by mini-golf, basketball courts, and a giant jumping pillow for family entertainment. Hiking trails through the surrounding mountains provide opportunities to explore the natural landscape, while the Wallkill River offers fishing and kayaking. One reviewer highlighted, "This campground has a lot of activities and has kids of all ages galore." For guests seeking local exploration, the glamping sites provide convenient access to Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park, and the charming towns of New Paltz and Gardiner with their wineries, farm-to-table restaurants, and boutique shopping. Most glamping accommodations remain available from April through October, with some properties like Skyway Camping Resort offering geodesic domes and canvas tents from May through mid-October.
"The camp is set up in a “blank slate, parking lot” type style, with a big field, center for tent camping or to be used for sports or other activities."
"We had full hookups with 50-amp electrical service- which all worked fine. The entire park seemed to be well maintained and clean."
"Location- 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."
"Amenities Bathrooms are older and need of some repair but let me tell you I was very happy to see a normal shower head with real hot water! So no complaints here."
"As part of the Thousand Trails group, this campground has many amenities. It offers a pool, playground, and activities that include bocce ball, shuffleboard, and horseshoes."
"This is a Thousand trails campground so it was free. I think the regular price is $64. Full hookups, tents and cabins to rent. Pleanty to do in and around campground."

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.
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.
ScoutWe reserved for a day. Very bad service. The river is super dirty and they did not even clean the trash cans. Besides, the fire ring has no grill cooking grate, so if you don’t bring your own NO GRILLING. Ryan was the person in front that took care of us, he was rude, my kids felt weird because he was not welcoming at all. Also, we try to ask for a partial refund since we did not felt comfortable since the beginning, and they said NO. We have experience camping, but this one was simply THE WORST. We lost the money but we won’t put our kids in a difficult situation. Thanks.
ScoutWe stay at a lot of Jellystone parks so have become accustomed to the park layouts and activities. This one was well maintained with clean facilities. Some things like the mini golf and fire pits needed maintenance. The pools were nice but get very busy later in the day. The sites up on the hills are nice but beware, it’s a hill! There is little to no WiFi or cell service or it gets easily bogged down, so be ready for that. Food was basic but good. Some activities like bingo were a bit chaotic and there were a lot of ground hornets around the jumping pillows. Would totally go again.
ScoutThe main issue with the sites was that they were primitive -- no water. The campsites were basically just wooden platforms, with a picnic table and fire pit. There were also a lot of bugs, though this may be due to the rain. The location itself was fairly pretty and there were a number of hiking trails of not-overly-serious difficulty. The particular site we picked left is a little farther from our car than we would have liked, but for other sites you can bring your car closer.
TravelerThe campground was closed in 2024 for renovations. It is now open. I did a tour of the campgrounds but did not stay there. FYI, generators are NOT allowed at all at this campground. I did not see electric or water hookups. There are three loops. Each has it pros/cons. Sites 30-33 are near the bathroom facilities, sites 34-50 are more secluded, sites 52-65 are closer to the lake.
TravelerCampground: fairly secluded, forested, breezy with some wildlife. Small camp store. Ingress/Egress: Tight approach with multiple switchbacks and steep grades - if you’re coming in a towable rig over 36’ you might want to take a solo look first. Sites are oddly arranged and there aren’t any FHU sites. Cell: Verizon in spot C9 had 1-bar; we used Starlink for connectivity. Laundry: 3 washers & 3 dryers: $2.50 each. Dump Station: was close by (across the street) but we didn’t need it for our 3 day stay. Bathhouse: across the street, clean and we used it almost exclusively. Noise: Quiet with some small arms fire, but barely noticeable from our site. Site C9: can be viewed from Google street view site is north of the lake in the horseshoe road- some cabins are viewable as well. Site is gravel with composite picnic table, post metal grill and truck rim fire ring. Water pressure- fluctuated 30psi-50psi: hunted constantly. Cabins: available and in good order. They appear to be older, but still functional- mini log cabins $65/night (primitive-no bathroom)
GuideWe've only stayed overnight at this campground. Roads are all paved, and some sites as well. They stagger the campers so that you don't look right into another camper, which makes it feel like you are camping in the woods.
Lots of trees so watch DVD or OTA television as you likely won't get satellite TV in your rig. Large swimming pool and playground for kids. There is an activity center where you can get something to eat, and sit on the deck to enjoy the scenery.
Sites are level. Staff are friendly. The camp store is large and well stocked in just about anything that you could need.
Enough trees that if you have a large rig and are towing you need to use some care leaving your RV site.
ScoutOwners are amazing, family oriented, campground has tons for kids to do and is close to Roscoe. Our family goes every year
The Pine Bush area sits at approximately 400 feet elevation in the Hudson Valley, offering visitors a varied woodland terrain with mixed deciduous forest interspersed with small streams and ponds. Seasonal considerations impact camping experiences, with spring bringing muddy conditions along trails and summer humidity requiring adequate hydration for hikers. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing, limiting some yurt camping options in the region.
Fishing access: Oakland Valley Campground provides sites directly beside the river for anglers. "You can camp right next to the river and it has a great view," notes reviewer Jeanne-Marie P., who adds that the campground has "3 levels to camp at" with varying amenities at each level.
Hiking trails: Osa Trail offers secluded hiking opportunities with scenic viewpoints. "Had a great time here with my wife and 2 little kids and our dog. One of the most beautiful sunrises we've ever seen!" reports John F., highlighting the panoramic vistas available to hikers.
Water recreation: Multiple recreation options exist at High Point State Park Campground, as Justin P. explains: "We fit in a hike up to the Appalachian Trail from our campsite, swam at the pond (Lake Marcia), and got in a fishing session at Steeny Kill Lake." The reviewer notes you'll "have to drive between the different lakes."
Platform tent sites: Some campsites feature elevated wooden platforms for tent setup. At High Point State Park, "Each campsite has a firepit/ring, picnic table, and lantern hook," according to Dwight D., though he cautions about potentially steep terrain at some sites.
Privacy between sites: Many campers value the secluded feeling at Thousand Trails Rondout Valley, where Kasey M. reports: "We loved our full hookup site minus the neighbors' weekend ragers. (At least they turned off the music at quiet hours). The creek that runs by the campground is gorgeous, and my kids had fun finding Crayfish."
Family entertainment: Beyond water activities, families appreciate structured recreation options. Ian R. describes Thousand Trails Rondout Valley as "what I want for a Catskill campground. It is not a concrete pad haven and yes, there is mud. Our site was even and easy to level on."
Bathroom facilities: Facilities vary widely between campgrounds. At Neversink River Resort, Happy Camper L. reports: "We went with a few families and had a nice time. It is very basic and that worked for us. It could benefit from some sprucing up."
Seasonal availability: Most yurt camping near Pine Bush operates from spring through fall. Skyway Camping Resort specifically runs from "May 1 - Oct 14," according to their listing information, making advance reservations essential during peak summer weekends.
Noise levels: Quiet time enforcement varies by campground. Samantha H. notes at Oakland Valley Campground: "The downside though was how loud it got at night with parties and music... it definitely impeded on the peace and quiet. It became frustrating when the noise wasn't addressed by members of the staff."
Plan for varied weather: The Hudson Valley experiences significant temperature fluctuations. At Oakland Valley Campground, Katrina R. explains, "We spent most of early spring at Oakland Valley right on the river... They loved to fish and play in the river, explore the woods and ride bikes around."
Consider kid-friendly activities: When selecting a campground, prioritize those with dedicated recreation spaces. Amanda S. highlights that Jellystone Park Gardiner has a "Nice pool that is shallow so you can relax and let the little ones go in the water park section alone or they have a 3 ft pool also."
Book group sites when available: For multi-family trips, specialized group areas offer better accommodation. Christian describes High Point State Park's group sites: "The group campsites are big enough for the amount of people you can have, have picnic benches, a fire ring, a composting outhouse toilet just for the site, and one of those flat charcoal 'grills'."
Site selection matters: When selecting an RV site at Skyway Camping Resort, Jackie M. advises: "Nice well maintained park, full hookups with cable and wifi. Office forgot to give us wifi info and had closed early. Very nice staff."
Check hookup options: Not all campgrounds offer full RV services. At Neversink River Resort, Carmine B. shares: "Our 2nd ever camping trip with our RV and it really was amazing. Our first trip to another campground was disastrous due to hurricanes and leaks, and this trip made everything so much better."
Consider rental options: For those without RVs, yurt camping near Pine Bush provides comfortable alternatives. Ron H. notes that Skyway Camping Resort is "Very nice and clean... this is a good family campground for kids. It large with nice size sites."
