Best Campgrounds near Pine Hill, NY

Campgrounds near Pine Hill, New York feature both state parks and private facilities offering a range of accommodation options. Delta Lake State Park and Verona Beach State Park provide waterfront camping experiences with tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals. Both parks are situated along Lake Oneida, offering visitors swimming beaches, picnic areas, and water recreation opportunities. Several private campgrounds such as The Villages RV Park at Turning Stone, Treasure Isle RV Park, and Ta-Ga-Soke Campgrounds complement the state park options with additional amenities for campers seeking different experiences.

The camping season in this region typically runs from May through mid-October, with most facilities closing during winter months. Advance reservations are recommended, particularly for waterfront sites which fill quickly during summer weekends. "Sites are very large and well maintained. Sites along the creek and lagoon have shade trees; tent sites to FHU's; creekside beach," noted one visitor about Mayfair Campground. Weather conditions can vary significantly, with occasional strong winds affecting lakeside camping. Many campgrounds offer electric hookups, water access, and sanitary facilities, though amenities differ between locations. State parks generally provide more spacious sites but fewer hookup options compared to private campgrounds.

Waterfront locations consistently receive higher ratings from campers visiting the Pine Hill area. Several visitors highlighted the exceptional views and peaceful settings at lakeside sites, though some mentioned privacy concerns. "We stayed at site 11. As you can see sites are spacious and this one was right on the lake's edge," shared a camper about Verona Beach State Park. Campgrounds like Whispering Woods offer alternative experiences with wooded settings and a variety of accommodation types including yurts and cabins. Noise levels vary significantly between locations and times of year, with some reviewers noting issues during peak season at more popular sites. The proximity to nature combined with reasonable access to nearby towns makes this region appealing for both weekend getaways and longer camping stays.

    Old Forge Camping Resort

    Very large camping resort

    This is a surprisingly large facility with multiple options, including cabins, tent, and RV sites. We were there in late October on a Saturday night when they were having a big Halloween festival, so very crowded but festive environment. Everybody packed up and left the following morning.Close to the town of old Forge and Lakes. Beautiful area.

    Green Lakes State Park Campground

    Good camp sites

    The sites are good, level, and the campsite is pretty but as clean as the bathrooms are, the showers still suck. I’ll never understand why parks use the misting shower heads. Maybe TMI, but sorry ladies, you’ll never get the soap out of your bits. It’s best to use the ADA bathrooms because those shower heads are normal and have wands. I can’t say much about the amenities since we camped in the off season (really bummed not to rent a boat), but the trails around the lake are great! Beautiful water and various difficulties on the trails make it pretty fun to explore. Overall a good stay but took a star away for the showers and the landscapers. They spent at least 5-6 hours the Monday we were here mowing around our campsite, coming within inches of our power and Starlink cords. Really annoyed by that and when we called the park office, they said they’d take care of it but we still endured 4 more hours of multiple mowers going over the same areas multiple times. Honestly think they were messing with us at that point…

    Oneida Shores County Park

    Nice park for a reasonable price

    Campground is recently paved. Lots of geese, therefore lots of goose poop. Sites are small and close together. Nice wooded setting on the lake.

    Pleasant Lake Campground

    Clean and Quiet

    I found this location to have very clean sites with plenty of amenities. Had no issues with the Wi-Fi watching Bills games and play a few video games.

    West Canada Creek Campground

    Nice place, a little pricey

    Pros: clean campground, camp store, ice cream/pizza shack, shuttle to tubing, sites are pretty flat, pool is large and clean, quiet hours are enforced. Cons: $5 per dog "surprise" when we arrived. Even though we camped there 2 nights for 3 years in a row, $15 per person for the tubing shuttle seems steep; a discount or free would be nice for campers, as drop off points are just down the road. Sites are narrow.

    Yogi Bears Jellystone Park Camp Resort at Mexico

    Unfortunate

    Pros: river is awesome, wading, catching crayfish, cooling off. Staff were consistently friendly. Sites were flat, easy to level travel trailer. Plenty of kid activities, foam party, obstacle course, balloon launch, etc. Large store. Game room. Bathrooms (at least near the playground) were spacious, with toilet, sink, shower. Cons: signs/photo ops were crooked/loose/broken. Planted annual flowers were dead, overgrown with weeds. Miniature golf holes were falling apart. Bounce pad had a hole in it. The sand from around the edge was blowing from that hole into kids eyes, nose, mouth. Bathrooms were dirty; each has a 2-roll toilet paper dispenser; by early evening two stalls had zero TP left. Tent sites had used toilet paper along the tree line where others had used it as a bathroom. Fire pits were old tire rims, which worked, but unable to cook anything on it

    Mayfair Campground NY

    Mostly for seasonals

    We called to make last minute reservations for a one night stopover enroute to Vermont. The person on the phone was friendly and accommodating to our needs. When we arrived after hours, the entrance was gated with a card reader access which we did not have a card for. We tried calling back several times but a recording said that the line was busy. Luckily, another camper let us in. There are no signs to direct you which way to go and the sites are poorly marked. With some help from friendly campers we were eventually able to find our site. The sites are have a poorly graveled parking spot and the ground is a little soft. Restrooms are basic and minimal, having a single toilet and sink, a tiny mirror and hand dryer, however it was fairly clean and functional. I was told that there are new owners and they are making improvements

Guide to Pine Hill

Pine Hill camping offers diverse options within the Catskill Mountain region at elevations between 1,300-2,700 feet. Summer temperatures typically range from 65-85°F during the day, dropping to 50-60°F at night. The camping season generally runs mid-May through October, with several waterfront locations offering recreational activities and varying levels of privacy between sites.

What to do

Paddle on Delta Lake: At Delta Lake State Park Campground, kayakers can explore the flooded reservoir that covers the old village of Delta. "Having the kayaks were great, there's so much to explore, and town is right down the road," notes Sierra K. The park maintains two boat ramps for easy launching.

Golf near your campsite: Campers staying at Green Lakes State Park Campground can access on-site golfing facilities. "If you want something for everyone, this is the place. There are 2 Great Lakes to hike around with awesome views. Fishing and boat rental if you want to be closer to the water," mentions Kelly J. Boat rentals cost $7/hour for rowboats.

Fish at multiple access points: Ta-Ga-Soke Campgrounds provides easy water and boat launch access. "The site was good size and included a picnic table and a fire ring. Site was very close to water and boat launch and that was great," says Tate T. Delta Lake is stocked with game fish like bass, perch, and pike.

What campers like

Private water sites: Waterfront sites consistently receive higher ratings, particularly at The Villages RV Park at Turning Stone. "Turning Stone is well maintained with nice sites. All full hook up sites from full sun to full shade. Been coming here for 25 + years," reports Carl G. The campground offers free shuttle service to the nearby casino.

Clean facilities: Campers frequently mention bathroom cleanliness as a highlight. "Bathrooms are basic and minimal, having a single toilet and sink, a tiny mirror and hand dryer, however it was fairly clean and functional," notes Greg D. about Mayfair Campground. At Green Lakes, one reviewer stated, "The bathrooms have been remodeled and most are private with a toilet, shower and sink."

Loop selection matters: Different camping loops offer varied experiences. "Nice spots in loop C. Loop A is quite open," explains Charles S. about Delta Lake State Park. At Oneida Shores, "Campground is recently paved. Lots of geese, therefore lots of goose poop. Sites are small and close together. Nice wooded setting on the lake," according to Shawn.

What you should know

Wind conditions: Lakefront sites can experience significant winds. "We attempted to set up near the lake, but found the wind to be overwhelming. We ended up in the corner site by the woods," Thomas M. reports about Verona Beach. Another camper at Oneida Shores County Park mentioned, "It got really windy at night which was nice to keep the bugs away."

Crowding factors: Camping density varies significantly by location. "The campground isn't the best I've experienced, a bit on the crowded side-similar to a woodsy suburb," notes Rachel P. Another camper mentioned, "Unless you score a campsite in the row up against the water, forget privacy."

Campground policies: Rules vary between locations and may change seasonally. "My son arrived late as he had been attending the NYS Fair that night. He went to the parking lot as instructed and was met with a flashlight in his face and was questioned by police," reports Margaret C. about strict enforcement at one location.

Tips for camping with families

Beach amenities: Verona Beach State Park Campground provides family-friendly beach facilities. "Nice small state park, our site had a water spigot right behind our site hook up hose and filled camper. Lake is dirty but they had a nice splash pad for the kids. Nice consession stand reasonably priced for a State campground," says Carl G.

Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas for children. "Green lakes is a great place to visit. For the local area it's a great day trip. Small hikes swimming and good picnic area," says Ryan W. Another camper mentioned, "They have recently added electricity to the sites and a new playground at the beach."

Family-oriented programming: Some campgrounds organize special activities. "Many planned activities for kids: hayrides, sandcastle contests, Santa visit in July. Live bands or DJ's on holiday weekends," notes Karen F. about seasonal events at Mayfair Campground.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: At Treasure Isle RV Park, "Owners and seasonals are very friendly, well maintained," according to Keri. "The sites are a good size with water and electric on each site. There is a dumping station to use, some sewer sites," adds Heather R.

Leveling and access: Pay attention to site preparation when booking. "Spacious FHU sites. Pull thru and back ins," notes Boomer B. about The Villages RV Park. Another reviewer mentioned, "The sites were level and great size with nice spacing in between. The location was nice too!"

Hookup variations: Water and electrical connections differ between parks. "There are no water or electric hookups but there are water spigots throughout the campground," reports Mary H. about Verona Beach State Park. When staying at Green Lakes, one camper noted, "There are many sites with electric available at every site. There are some sites with full hook-up available."
