1 campground with availability this weekend
The Blueberry Patch in the Catskills offers scenic glamping in spacious yurts with views that captivate nature enthusiasts. The property's wood stove keeps guests comfortable during cooler nights, creating a cozy retreat just minutes from Roscoe. Skyway Camping Resort expands the glamping options with both yurt rentals and other premium accommodation styles, all with access to modern amenities including clean showers, restrooms, and trash service. Guests can enjoy the convenience of on-site firewood, drinking water, and picnic tables at both locations. The sites feature fire pits where visitors can gather after exploring the surrounding wilderness. As one guest put it, "We found this beautiful yurt in the Catskills with views to envy any nature enthusiast. The dark nights were filled with gazing shooting stars. A wood oven stove kept us cozy our entire stay."
Russell Brook and its waterfront glamping locations provide an immersive natural experience with electricity and water hookups at each site. The pristine setting allows visitors to fall asleep to the gentle sounds of flowing water while enjoying modern comforts. During October, the area transforms with vibrant fall foliage, creating perfect conditions for stargazing from private accommodations. Swimming, fishing, and hiking opportunities abound throughout the surrounding Catskills region. Many glamping resorts in the area remain open from May through October, though some safari tents and climate-controlled yurts accommodate year-round stays. According to one camper, "Falling asleep to the sound of the water behind our glamping tent was amazing. The site was well-equipped with its own water, electricity, fire pit, and picnic table, and everyone we met was super friendly."
"Clean bathrooms and showers. People working there were more then helpful. Guided us to our site. Helped us set up. All and all a very pleasant stay."
"Bathrooms are clean, campground could use a little more attention to cleanliness but overall not bad. Great access to the beaverkill. It’s perfect for a quick getaway."
"Every site is well-equipped with its own water, electricity, fire pit, and picnic table. The best part is the waterfront sites."
"Owners are amazing, family oriented, campground has tons for kids to do and is close to Roscoe. Our family goes every year"
"We arrived here early afternoon, which ended up being perfect timing as we could set up everything and catch sunset by the fire."
"There are several beautiful, secluded hike-in sites along the lake which I would love to return to someday. The hike around the lake is a lovely, easy walk."
"The fire pit was a plus to the view. Our first time in a yurt but not the last. This was a birthday trip so we enjoyed every minute of this space. The host was great!"
from $150 / night
"The security is great and patrol to make sure quiet hours are quiet to be courtiers to other campers that want quiet time. The bath houses are constantly being cleaned and restocked."
"That said we had plenty of space, it was just very close to the next site. We were on the far side of the lake which is not really within walking distance of the beach, pool and store."
"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."
"There are plenty of well-marked trails to hike. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The staff were very friendly."
"Sites are large with a good buffer, fire ring & grill. Good mix of tent & trailer. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Great little lake for swimming & fishing."

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.
GuideStayed October 14 without reservations because website showed lots of availability. Office was closed (M-F 8-4) so submitted honor system envelope with cash and stayed at Site 041 on Carpenter loop. Shower building was a short walk and was spacious enough. Water temp didn’t quite reach hot but was warm enough.
Electric kept on tripping breaker.
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.
GuideReally liked it. Love the layout, with camp sites having mowed paths to the restrooms and showers in the middle of each loop. Nicest showers and rest rooms we have seen so far. Each site has brush between them so you can not see your neighbors. Pretty, quiet, relaxing. The groomed hiking trails are the best and Arctic Lake is beautiful. Staff were so nice, and loved doing the scavenger hunt!
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.
TravelerThe state park is beautiful. The site was very nice. The park itself is very big with many activities available such as boat rentals and a swimming pool. There's also an amphitheatre which hosts specials. During our stay the only activity we made it to was the pool. The main reason we didn't do more was the distance. We have a motorhome so we didn't have additional vehicles to get to and from places. We walked to the park which according to my Fitbit was 1.5 miles away. That doesn't seem too bad until you realize it's mostly hills in both directions! We are a fairly active young family who has no problem with a bit of a walk but after that experience we decided to just spend the remainder of our trip hanging out at our site. It's a good thing we only stayed 2 nights because our 10 year old might've lost his mind with boredom if we stayed longer. Overall, the site we had was great and I'd recommend it. My husband and I may come back for a couples date weekend.
ScoutGilbert 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.
ScoutNow that All Star Baseball purchased this Oneonta campground this year, don't expect to stay here if you are not a baseball family. I went there in person yesterday for two nights at their"primitive" tent sites. After Hanna checked her computer, my dates were all cleared...great, then let me pay the $70... but no... she had to check with management first. I thought that was strange since that never happened to me before when getting any campsites elsewhere. I was told I'd be called later that day but nobody called me. I went back the next day only to be told all sites for the summer were rented out. Clearly that was not true based on her computer check the day before. BOTTOMLINE: if you are not a baseball family spending $1000's here, don't expect to even get the time of day. Therefore, they do not deserve anyone's business.
Camping areas near Roscoe sit within the southwestern Catskills at elevations between 1,200-2,000 feet, creating distinct seasonal camping conditions. Summer temperatures typically range from 55-80°F, with cooler nights even during peak months. Rainfall averages 4-5 inches monthly during camping season, making proper site drainage an important consideration when selecting tent sites.
Fishing opportunities: The Beaverkill River at Roscoe Campsites offers prime angling locations. "Right on the Beaverkill River, it's quiet, clean, gorgeous, brand new cabins and concrete pads. Fisherman's heaven," reports Richard V. The area is known locally as Trout Town USA, with some of the best fly fishing in the eastern United States.
Hiking trails: Explore the 6-mile trail connecting to Alder Lake for moderate terrain hiking through dense forest. "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," says Erik C. The Balsam Lake fire tower nearby offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
Water activities: Cool off at Russell Brook where each campsite has streamside access. "Our site was massive (39) and had direct access to Russell Brook. Couldn't keep my son out of the water," shares Mike C. Several campgrounds rent kayaks and canoes during summer months, typically $25-40 for half-day rentals.
Privacy between sites: While many campgrounds in the area have tightly packed sites, Alder Lake offers more secluded options. "The campsites are very spacious with lots of room between you and other campers, and have a fire pit and some have picnic tables," notes Nora S.
Clean facilities: Many campers appreciate the well-maintained bathhouses and grounds. "Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The staff were very friendly," reports Fred C. about Oquaga Creek State Park Campground, where maintenance is consistent throughout the camping season.
Waterfront access: Several campgrounds offer direct water access. "Every site is well-equipped with its own water, electricity, fire pit, and picnic table. The best part is the waterfront sites," explains Attila T. about Russell Brook Campsites. Sites closest to water typically book 2-3 months in advance during peak season.
Tent site conditions: Some campgrounds have sites better suited for RVs than tents. At Roscoe Campsites, "the 'tent sites' are not actually built for tents. The ground is worn over and very rocky. If you visit, bring incredibly thick sleeping pads or air mattresses if you want to sleep semi-comfortably," advises Justin H.
Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds in the area operate from May through October. As one camper at Alder Lake noted, "We stayed three nights in late October. There are several beautiful, secluded hike-in sites along the lake which I would love to return to someday." Fall brings cooler temperatures, typically 40-65°F, requiring warmer sleeping equipment.
Cell service limitations: Many locations have minimal or no cell coverage. As Cheryl S. mentions about Oquaga Creek State Park, "No cell service or wifi which didn't bother me but could some." Plan accordingly by downloading maps and information before arrival.
Playground access: For families with young children, Roscoe Campsites offers dedicated play areas. "The farm, playground, beach, and shallow river make it a great, easy entry point for new and younger campers," notes Justin H., making it suitable for first-time family camping trips.
Swimming options: Several locations offer kid-friendly swimming areas. At Oquaga Creek State Park, one visitor mentioned, "You can kayak and swim in the lake, and see incredible stars at night." The lake has a designated swimming area with gradually sloping entry points appropriate for younger children.
Structured activities: Honesdale - Poconos KOA provides organized family programming. "Activities for the kids like movies (it was Moana), a pool, mini golf and a bounce area. We had a fantastic first camping experience for the kids," reports Corey M. Most structured activities run from late June through early September.
Site utilities: At Skyway Camping Resort, RVers appreciate the comprehensive hookups. "Nice well maintained park, full hookups with cable and wifi," states Jackie M. Most RV sites include 30/50 amp service, water, and sewer connections, with premium sites adding cable TV access.
Off-season considerations: Some RV-friendly campgrounds remain open year-round or have extended seasons. As Ron H. notes about Skyway Camping Resort, "Very nice and clean. This is a good family campground for kids. It's large with nice size sites." Call ahead during shoulder season (April/May and October/November) to confirm which facilities remain operational.
