What campers like
Spacious campsites: Many cabin areas provide room to spread out. "The campground was nicely maintained and space was restricted between sites due to Covid. The sites were spacious enough to allow for two cars each and probably 3 tents each," notes Rebecca Y. about Thousand Trails Rondout Valley.
Swimming options: Several locations feature swimming areas with varying depths. "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," mentions Amanda S. about Jellystone Park Gardiner.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and showers receive positive reviews. "Showers always clean bathrooms also. Group camping sites. Single private sites. R.V. Welcome. Boat access. Marina. Kyack," reports Frank M. about Mills Norrie.
What you should know
Firewood availability: Policies vary regarding firewood at cabin sites. "Firewood wasn't available at the camp, had to drive about a mile to grab some. Close to town so easy to grab needed items," notes Rebecca Y. about Mills Norrie State Park.
Noise considerations: Some locations have unexpected sound sources. "It was situated right across the Hudson River from a highly active nighttime freight train route, and the noise from the horns and then being awake for a few minutes as the train clattered by," warns a reviewer about cabin areas near the river.
Bathroom facilities: Quantity and quality of restrooms varies by location. "The bathrooms needed updating and people at the tent area made a comment that it took a while to get a turn at the showers," mentions Stephanie H. about Rip Van Winkle Campgrounds.
