Rae B.ScoutRip Van Winkle Campgrounds
Owners are rude
Rip Van Winkle Campground
Catskills NY
The Good:
1. The location
2. The actual campground itself. There are roomy sites with trees.
The Bad:
1. If you are lucky enough to get an assigned campsite away from the busy road, it is a HALF MILE walk to the only showers in the ENTIRE campground. They have nearly 200 campsites and ONE set of showers.
2. The speed bumps are beyond ridiculous. Two humpers and high as Bob Marley.
3. If you call the office for help (our electrical post was out) they record you without your knowledge.
The Ugly:
1. The campground lost power on my electrical post and tried to blame ME for it. I own a Bulldog surge protector, yeah, so it wasn't me. How it was handled was unbelievable. I have never been treated so rudely. A simple apology would have gone a long way.

Nice
People are super friendly and helpful. Campground is well maintained and very secure. RV site was very large and mostly level. Good location. Close to Hudson River and Albany.
Howard S.ScoutGilbert Lake State Park Campground
Staff is great as well as the campgrounds
Gilbert Lake State Park is located about 11 miles north of Oneonta, New York. I have camped here for a number of summers at their Hilltop Section, never dissapointed. There are a few trails that traverse the park for a few miles that are always green and shady. The lake offers swimming and kayaking. There is a concession stand and even a small museum that chronicles the efforts of the national CCC program under Roosevelt that constructed the park in the 1930's. After a long day of hiking, the campgrounds hot showers offer a great reprieve.

Interesting things to do at this campground
We've stayed here half a dozen times, usually for an evening along our camping trips. We did stay an extra day once to do some of the activities available.
It's a bit of a haul to get to the campground and the first time we were sure that we had missed a turn as we left Herkimer and headed up smaller and more winding roads to the campground. The turn off to the campground comes up fast and is quite sharp so be on the lookout for it.
The campground has many sites including back in and pull through. Not the largest of sites, but lots of green space to give the campground a park like feel. Some camp sites are right along the West Canada Creek. You can swim/wade in it, in addition to riding rafts along it.
There is a working "diamond" mine at the campground where you can try your hand at mining, or just buy some of the crystals that someone else did the work to get. There is a nice restaurant open most days (we have always managed to miss the days that it's open) in addition to stands near the mine that sell hot dogs and burgers.
There is a nice, large pool. In the park like area around it they have stands that sell mixed drinks, and others that sell ice cream and other deserts. The camp store is medium-large and has supplies, food, souvenirs (including Herkimer Diamond), etc.

Our little cabin by the river was so peaceful!
We stayed in the Bee cabin, right on the Battenkill River. This tiny cabin has a queen bed, a little table with two chairs, a microwave, a mini-fridge, and a Keurig coffee maker. There is a smokeless fire pit outside with two Adirondack chairs, a small cafe table on the deck, and a picnic table. The bathhouse is about a five-minute walk from the cabin, and there is a water faucet right outside the door.
Our favorite part was just relaxing by the river, but there is a wood-fired sauna, lawn games, a little bistro serving burgers, fries, wings, and drinks, complimentary tubes for the river, and bicycles. We had plenty of privacy, and the place was quiet (maybe 6 other guests on the property).
In addition to the rustic glamping cabins, there are glamping tents with full bathrooms, bigger cabins, and stargazing domes. 4 of the cabins are dog-friendly. The property doesn't allow kids under 13 due to the close proximity to the river, which has a pretty strong current.

Sad
Had a site booked for Memorial Day weekend but had a complication to my 5th shoulder surgery in 2.5 years and had my 6th which was a 3rd attempt at rotator cuff repair in mid-May. Called to see if I could change my reservation since I cannot drive due to Dr.'s orders but no dice. Could care less and told me too late due to policy. Offered to provide doctors documentation but didn't matter. I did not ask for refund just to change the date. Rude, dismissive and unwilling to work with me. Sad that a family-oriented place is run this way. End result I am out over$600 and they are smiling. As a business owner myself I would be out of business if I treated my customers this way.

Disrespect & Discrimination
Long read, but so worth it! Below is the review that I posted last August after our vacation. Mind you, the vacation for my immediate family has been 10 years in a row and when I was a kid the same! The incident that happened was with our friends and therefore when I wrote the review, it stated what I witnessed! I was hoping that management changed and/ or they fixed the problems so I was willing to give it another try, I mean, this has been apart of my childhood and my children’s so why not! I called today, lady was super nice and helping me look through all the campsites because we come with so many people! I paid and then friends of ours called. After they called, our friends said that my reservation was cancelled. What??? So I called back thinking it was something on my end. I then had to wait for management to call back. Called back, and whoever I spoke with was extremely rude! She basically told me I was never welcome back and that the owners said so! Now mind you through this whole thing, I never talked to the owners. So do the owners only take one side of the story? I’m not even someone that this incident directly happened to! I said, well can I please speak to your manager or the owner. No, i am the manager, you are not welcome back. I told her that everyone in our party will probably cancel as well and her response was“I’m just waiting for 1 person to call me”! I said a few choice words and I hung up. CRYING. WHAT????? Are you discriminating me because of an issue you had with another camper???? I can’t believe what this has amounted to. So instead of dealing with your issues you just don’t allow people back? Instead of having the owner or management actually call and have a respectful, which was not had, conversation with someone you just brush it off! I have come to Herkimer longer than some of these people have worked there! I really don’t have words for how I feel. And to make matters worse I always go over my dad’s anniversary of his death, August 5, because this was his favorite place and now I can’t go and neither can my children. Great job herkimer diamond mines koa! I applaud you on your discrimination, disrespect and the lack of empathy you have for your campers! Especially the ones who have been a constant! I’m assuming Phil and his wife are still management, good luck! And to the campers that wish to go there, I really hope you enjoy yourselves because it truly is an amazing place. Unfortunately, my memories had to stop here! August 2025 This review is extremely hard for me to write, but what I had witnessed for a week of being there is disgusting& just simply not right. My family has been coming to Herkimer KOA for decades. Throughout the years, we have shown many other families this"gem"... or so we thought. This year was a bit different, there are new camp managers... This week I have witnessed human waste being sprayed all over campsites, management that discredits everything you say, management that thinks its okay to have charges on your bill that they cant even explain, ice cream cart that closes right before the last kid orders& leaves in tears, bathrooms that are disgusting! This is NOT THE HERKIMER I REMEMBER AS A KID! If you look on google, the owners of this campground is a family that has owned it for 50 years! That's amazing& kudos to them! But Phil, Phil is going to ruin every ounce of what they have worked so hard for!& being a business owner, you want management there representing YOU! Doing what YOU would do if you were there. Those owners should not be receiving mine& my friends reviews today if management did their job! Unfortunately, again very hard to say, we will not be returning if Phil is there.& I can honestly say, that the 14-20 families we bring every time, that spend thousands of dollars, will not be as well! Thank you Phil for ruining a vacation I personally held so close to my heart.& because you don't care about how you treat people& how you manage, you have lost years& years& years of loyalty.

Not a recreational campsite
Full disclosure, we did not stay here. PLEASE, folks that leave reviews on this app, PLEASE say whether it’s a full-timer campsite or a recreational campsite. We paid for two weeks in advance of arriving at this site based on reviews available on Google and Dyrt. However, when we arrived we were surprised that this was mostly a trailer park. Call me picky, but I really prefer not to camp in an area where folks are living full time. Just not the vibe I’m going for. We decided to leave without staying. We called to see if we could get a refund and they were very kind and it wasn’t a problem. But just be warned… this is not a recreational campsite.

Winter campers should prepare for temperatures that frequently drop below freezing from November through March, with summer daytime temperatures typically reaching 75-85°F.

What to do
Explore nearby waterfalls: Max V. Shaul State Park Campground offers easy access to several cascades. "There's no pond/lake here but there's several waterfalls nearby and vromans nose," notes Brian H., highlighting natural attractions within short driving distance.
Pond fishing: DevilDoc Campsites provides private pond access for anglers. "The land they share has a pond that is very secluded. We used his power source so we were near his home and site was level for the travel trailer," writes Rosie Lon S., who appreciates the property's fishing opportunities and privacy.
Winter recreation: Seasonal cabin campers can enjoy cold-weather activities. At Frosty Acres Campground, winter stays offer unique opportunities as James S. explains: "You'll have the entire mountain side all to yourself! Snowshoe, cross country ski. Winter campfires."
What campers like
Clean bathhouse facilities: Recent renovations at several parks have improved amenities. According to Darby R., Max V. Shaul State Park features "bathrooms and showers clean and well-kept. The staff is friendly and helpful, and check the campground regularly so you can feel safe."
Spacious, private sites: Cabin campers appreciate room to spread out. "The sites are a great size for accomadating two tents and have many people gather at meals. The beat grooms and showers are well kept," says Leah B. about Glimmerglass State Park Campground.
Wildlife viewing: The natural setting provides opportunities to observe local fauna. Ellis L. at DevilDoc Campsites notes that "the patio is always alive with music, people, and chipmunks who horde peanuts," showcasing the small wildlife encounters possible during cabin stays.
What you should know
Seasonal availability varies: Some cabins operate year-round while others close for winter. Royal Mountain Campsites runs from "May 12 to October 9" according to their listing, typical of many seasonal operations in the region.
Bathroom access differs by location: Facilities range from outhouses to modern bathhouses. At Caroga Lake Campground, Elyssa R. reports "The bathrooms and showers were typical of other campgrounds and not overly large however they were cleaned regularly and the water was hot which was great for the end of a long day."
Firewood availability: Most cabins require firewood for heating, which is often available on-site. At Royal Mountain Campsites, Brittany V. mentions "We paid for wood and the owner drove it to our site and gave us half a tree for $10!!"
Tips for camping with families
Beach access for children: Some cabin locations include swimming areas. Patti M. shares that at Glimmerglass State Park, "The lake is pristine and wonderful to swim in. Nice beach. Also a place for showers and a bathroom and small place for food and extras things you might need for camping."
Playground facilities: Several parks offer dedicated play areas. Margaret L. notes that Max V. Shaul State Park Campground has "a playground, a pavilion, they do fireside jams," providing entertainment options for younger campers.
Quiet locations for families: Finding peaceful settings matters for those with children. At Country Roads Campground, William R. mentions it's a "Great family spot" with tent sites that "are nice and spread out," offering space between neighboring campers.
Tips from RVers
Site accessibility: Not all cabin areas accommodate larger vehicles. Danielle S. advises about Caroga Lake Campground: "We spent a relatively quiet long weekend here on loop F 97, which is a bit removed from the main campground. It was a bit noisy on Saturday night but nothing disturbing."
Hookup options: Electric and water connections vary between locations. Benjamin C. observed at Little Lake Campground that "Electric, water, and septic hookups were all modern and in great shape," which matters for RVers considering cabin alternatives.
Amenities for extended stays: Facilities that enhance longer visits differ between parks. Tom R. found Country Roads Campground to be a "Beautiful campground. Stayed in The Pines section. Spacious sites. Super friendly and helpful staff," important for those planning multi-day cabin stays.
