      Lackawanna State Park Campground

      Car camping

      Stayed 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.

      Great location and campground

      Spaces were easy in/out. Mature trees between sites. Pool, office, pickleball, k9kamp, bathrooms were all nice.

      Hillside Campgrounds

      Stay away... Unless you like 70 y/o men acting like high schoolers

      This clothing-optional campground has a highly toxic, intrusive, and vindictive environment. During my stay, the seasonal permanent residents('perms') subjected me to intense harassment, inappropriate sexual advances, and severe social retaliation/rumor-spreading when those advances were rejected. The situation escalated to the point where an employee had to intervene for my safety. Furthermore, despite management allowing my photo to be taken in costume at a party, I was intentionally blocked from the community group where the photos were posted, leaving me unable to monitor how my image was being used. Avoid this place if you value your privacy, personal boundaries, and safety.

      Oquaga Creek State Park Campground

      Very Nice and would go again; but not the Adirondacks.

      Really 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!

      Lackawanna State Park Campground

      Quiet getaway

      The 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.

      Lake Chalet Motel and Campground

      Clean, Quiet & Beautiful!!

      This campground is beautiful. The lake is good sized and clean. The property has beautiful fields and a creek that runs along the back. This is not a party campground and people are not packed in on top of each other. The little store is cute & affordable and the owners are on site 24/7.

      Happy Days Campground

      Excellent campsite

      We were looking for a campsite on our way up north and we’re so happy to find this one. While it is a commercial site. It is located in the woods. It has full hook up and portable water at the site. We couldn’t be happier with a warm welcome we received late at night and the cleanliness of the bathrooms and each site. I would highly recommend this campsite.

      Gilbert 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.

    Guide to Trout Creek

    Cabin options near Trout Creek, New York range from rustic to modern accommodations set within the Western Catskills region at elevations between 1,000-2,000 feet. The area experiences distinct seasons with colorful fall foliage from mid-September through October and winter snowfall that can make some cabin access challenging from December through March. Winter cabin rentals often require four-wheel drive vehicles for reliable access.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds provide direct river or lake access for anglers. At Russell Brook Campsites, campers can fish right from their sites. One visitor noted, "Our site was massive (39) and had direct access to Russell Brook. Couldn't keep my son out of the water."

    Hiking trails: Several parks offer marked trail systems suitable for various skill levels. Oquaga Creek State Park Campground features "plenty of well-marked trails to hike" according to one reviewer, while another mentioned the park is "great if you want to get off-the-grid for a little while."

    Swimming: Most state parks with cabins maintain designated swimming areas with varying facilities. A visitor to Oquaga Creek mentioned the "lake with a nice beach and swimming area" and noted that the campground offers "carry in boating" options during summer months.

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: Many cabin areas offer good separation from neighboring campsites. At Chenango Valley State Park Campground, "sites are in the woods with picnic tables and fire ring, plenty of shade and a good amount of space between camps." The park has "sites that were separated from each other by small patches of woods, which made it more private."

    Wildlife viewing: Cabins throughout the region provide opportunities to observe local wildlife. One Chenango Valley visitor reported, "They have so many birds, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits and insects that it was a veritable wonderland." Another camper mentioned seeing "four deer that were feeding behind our site in the morning."

    Night sky viewing: Limited light pollution in this rural area creates excellent stargazing conditions. A camper at Oquaga Creek State Park mentioned you can "see incredible stars at night," making it a good destination for astronomy enthusiasts.

    What you should know

    Cellular service limitations: Many cabin areas have limited or no cell coverage. At Gilbert Lake State Park Campground, "cell signal is not great in most places except the sites 'on top of the hill.'" This limitation affects both phone calls and internet access.

    Seasonal availability: Most cabins operate on limited seasonal schedules. Campground seasons typically run "May 13 to October 9" for state parks, though some private campgrounds like Unadilla KOA stay open slightly longer from "May 1 to October 18."

    Cabin amenities vary significantly: Basic cabins typically provide beds and minimal furniture, while deluxe options include more facilities. At My Friend's Place, they offer "a peaceful glamping experience" with furnished cabins and yurts that require less personal equipment.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Several parks provide playground facilities for children. Chenango Valley State Park has a "shallow swimming area for children with life guards and a sandy beach" and "a playground at the beach area, not the campground."

    Kid-friendly water features: Many cabin locations include shallow water areas designed for younger swimmers. A recent upgrade at Chenango Valley State Park included "better water circulation and a splashpad" that's particularly good for families with small children.

    Multi-day itineraries: Plan activities both within and near cabin areas. Pine Crest Campground is "right next to the river" and has a "pool is nice," but visitors also note it's "close to good food and many things to do" in the surrounding area.

    Tips from RVers

    Site accessibility: RVers should check site specifications before booking. At Unadilla KOA, some visitors noted "tight conditions" where "it was a good thing that we had friendly neighbors as we could step from our camper into theirs," while others reported "no problems getting out 40ft coach parked."

    Utility hookups: Most cabin areas with RV sites offer electric and some water connections. At Peaceful Valley Campsite, reviewers noted "great location with full hook-ups" and "nice riverside spots" that accommodate RVs of various sizes.

    Dump station availability: Not all campgrounds offer sewer connections at individual sites. Gilbert Lake State Park has a dump station where "you can fill your water tank at the dump station as there are no water hookups" at the individual sites.
