3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks near Stamford accommodate various camping needs. Country Roads Campground in Gilboa operates from May 15 to Columbus Day with 118 sites featuring full hookups including water, electric (30/50 amp), and sewer connections. Big rigs are welcome at this campground, which provides both tent and RV sites. "This was a great campground and I am sure they do even more when social distancing is not required," noted one visitor about Crazy Acres Campground, another option open from April 15 to October 31. Max V. Shaul State Park Campground in Fultonham offers 30 spacious sites with electric hookups (both 30 and 50 amp) and water connections, though without sewer hookups or dump stations on premises.
For RV travelers planning trips to the region, most campgrounds require reservations during peak seasons, especially in fall when leaf-peeping tourism increases. Cell service varies considerably throughout the mountainous terrain, with some campgrounds offering limited connectivity. Many RV sites are gravel-based rather than concrete pads, which may require leveling blocks. Most parks accommodate pets, though restrictions may apply in certain areas. Dump stations are limited at some facilities, with Max V. Shaul notably lacking this service. One visitor described the campground as "small and quiet - only 30 sites here, which are large, flat and sited well apart from each other." Winter camping options are extremely limited, with nearly all facilities closing between October and April.

TravelerCamp is pretty close together but most spots have a thick tree line between them which is nice. You still get a bit of road noise off the bridge and surrounding areas but it’s not to bad and the views at the boat launch on the Hudson are gorgeous
ScoutI stayed here in March 2026 for a night before going snowboarding at Belleayre Mountain. It was in the middle of a snowstorm on a Tuesday night, so I had the whole place to myself, which was nice.
TravelerSpaces were easy in/out. Mature trees between sites. Pool, office, pickleball, k9kamp, bathrooms were all nice.
GuideThe park looks fantastic! Well maintained camp sites and beautiful river sceneries from the boat launch area!
Bathhouse is one of the best I have seen!
Check in was smooth. Everyone was courteous!
LegendMostly peaceful campground with nice spots, most of which offer some privacy. If you are bothered by trains, note that you will hear them in the background quite frequently from the railroad bridge that passes over the Hudson River. It's not loud by any means, but you can hear them.
The state park staff and the camp hosts were all very friendly, and it has some of the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen in a state park.
Site 20 is a pull through site and it's huge, and while it is next to the shower building, it's far enough away that it really isn't a problem. Also, the field between you and the shower building is a fantastic spot to set up a Starlink dish.
Travelerbeautiful quiet space, great home base for the Catskills and small towns around here. note there's only a few spots. road conditions were fine.
GuideWe went the 2nd week of October and seems like we had just missed the foliage peak but it was still beautiful.
Everyone minded their business and most sites were 2-4 people, showers were clean and warm but the kind where you gotta push the button every 30 seconds. Toilets were clean and running smoothly (we were in the southernmost loop, closest to the camp office)
No cellphone reception but we could get satellite signal to text our loved ones that we were alive and well!
We loved the hiking and especially kayaking on the pond
ScoutAlways have a good time, staff is always friendly. Ive been coming here since i was a kid my grandparents always had a seasonal here.
ScoutThis is a very pleasant campground just a couple of miles off the interstate. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Full hookups at most sites. Many amenities available. A very quiet setting to rest and repose. Highly recommended!
