3 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Several cabin accommodations exist in the Wallkill region of New York, ranging from rustic to fully equipped options. Jellystone Park Gardiner provides family-oriented cabins with electricity, beds, and basic furnishings. These cabins serve as comfortable alternatives to tent camping while maintaining a traditional outdoor experience. A recent review noted, "This park is really nice for family fun! Absolutely beautiful waterpark for the kids! Along with playgrounds, an outdoor theater area, plenty of places to ride your bikes." Thousand Trails Rondout Valley also offers cabin rentals with similar amenities and is located within a short drive from Wallkill.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The Awosting Club Members-Only Campground in Wallkill itself provides exclusive cabin access for members. West Point FMWR facilities offer military-affiliated guests cabin options at both Round Pond and Lake Frederick recreation areas. Most cabins accommodate families with multiple sleeping areas. Jellystone properties enforce pet policies that allow dogs at campsites but may have restrictions regarding breeds and supervision. One camper shared, "This campground has a lot of activities and has kids of all ages galore. I was worried my 12 year old would be too old for it but he enjoyed making friends there."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties - some provide only outdoor fire rings while others include small refrigerators and microwaves. Boulder Point Campground and Korns Campground offer more basic cabin accommodations with fewer amenities. On-site camp stores at Jellystone and several other locations provide basic provisions, snacks, and camping supplies. Firewood is available for purchase at many locations, though policies regarding outside wood vary due to invasive species concerns. Cabins with water and electric hookups typically command higher rental fees than more primitive options.
"This is a HUGE Jellystone park in upstate NY. There are literally hundreds of cabins and RV sites. We are in site 136, which is a back in spot. Plenty of room between campers."
"Site#22 included a large concrete pad, picnic table, charcoal grill, and large fire ring. Everything was in great condition. It was nice having plenty of space to not be on top of our neighbors."
"As part of the Thousand Trails group, this campground has many amenities. It offers a pool, playground, and activities that include bocce ball, shuffleboard, and horseshoes."
"This is a Thousand trails campground so it was free. I think the regular price is $64. Full hookups, tents and cabins to rent. Pleanty to do in and around campground."
"Only 6 sites with electric. 50 & 51 are nice & private. Lots of large tent sites, some in an open area & others fairly private. 4 tent pads with obstructed river views."
"There are great hiking trails on the Hudson River right outside your campsite. Amenities are the great outdoors and an ancient bath house built during the New Deal in the 1930's."

GuideMade a reservation (site44) since I arrived as the sun had set. Office registration was open until 8. Staff was neither friendly nor unfriendly. Bathroom was dated but fine and a short walk from my site. CG was emptier being a Tuesday night in mid-October, so was plenty of space.
Great trail following the Hudson River. Beautiful fall colors.
TravelerA nice wooded campground that was quiet despite being almost full on our Friday night stay.
The site we stayed at (64) had some pretty large roots to drive over and may have been an issue for a low clearance vehicle (we have a Subaru Outback).
The shower / house bathroom combo units weee very clean with hot water and baby changing station.
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.
ScoutRip 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.
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.
ScoutThe neighbor cry about a dog that barks and then we are no good
TravelerWe 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.
LegendExcellent campground! The forest is beautiful, the Hudson River is super close, there are great trails, and the surrounding area is beautiful. Sites are electric only, so make sure your water pump is working and fresh water tank is full. There are spigots for filling and a nice dump station. The player is excellent. I don't think tetn camping here would be great because the tent sites are closer together and there are trains that pass regularly. We couldn't hear the trains in our camper and our site was large and private with great Forest and hammock trees. The mansion tours at Vanderbilt and Mills were awesome!
Cabins near Wallkill, New York provide access to the scenic Hudson Valley region, situated about 75 miles northwest of New York City at elevations ranging from 250-500 feet. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F during prime camping months. Cabin accommodations throughout the region range from basic structures with minimal amenities to fully equipped units with private bathrooms.
Waterfront activities at Mills Norrie: The Hudson River provides opportunities for swimming, fishing, and boating. Kayak rentals are available at the marina. "The campground was nicely maintained and space was restricted between sites due to Covid. 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 a Mills Norrie State Park Campground visitor.
Explore local breweries: Visit craft breweries within short drives from campsites. "While we still had our own peace and quiet on the other side of the farm it was still close enough for us to walk back after meeting some of the locals and drinking a few beers. On the last night the brewery hosted an Oktoberfest party bringing in tons of locals from town, bands, and vendors," shares a camper at Peace and Carrots Farm Bluebird Tiny Home.
Hiking nearby trails: Multiple state parks offer hiking options within 30 minutes of Wallkill cabin rentals. "There are great hiking trails on the Hudson River right outside your campsite. Amenities are the great outdoors and an ancient bath house built during the New Deal in the 1930's. Not a resort campground," explains a Mills Norrie visitor.
Clean facilities: Bathhouses and common areas receive regular maintenance at most locations. "The bath house is always well stocked and clean, ready for end of the day cleanup and the laundry facilities are a great bonus for those of us who like to stay longer than a couple days," reports a guest at West Point FMWR Lake Frederick Outdoor Recreation Area.
Water features: Swimming areas and water activities rank high in camper satisfaction. "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. My older kids preferred a deeper pool but they still had a great time there they have lasertag which they enjoy. And a bounce pillow," writes a visitor to Jellystone Park Gardiner.
Peaceful settings: Many cabins near Wallkill offer quiet natural environments. "Our site was up front and we didn't venture into the park. We did use the laundry room, which needed some updates, especially some lighting. It has a pretty large staircase and at night with a handful of laundry, it was a little scary navigating without lights," notes a Thousand Trails Rondout Valley camper.
Bathroom limitations: Facility conditions vary significantly between properties. "Very few for the number of sites and people it covers. They need to add more bathrooms. They rarely cleaned the bathroom in all the 6 days that I stayed. The showers didn't have enough water pressure, 2 out of 6 had only hot water, some had no paper, hairs everywhere," writes one Jellystone Park Gardiner visitor.
Noise levels: Some campgrounds experience variable noise patterns. "We got a red carpet site by the Gaga pit and near the water park (Cindy bear lane) and it was a convenient yet noisy site. Kids were at the playground 8 am or before and the noise woke us up. The kids were around until about 10:30 or so each night. People tend to walk through your campsite constantly," reports another Jellystone Park Gardiner guest.
Military-only options: Several quality cabin facilities near Wallkill restrict access. "Being military-only keeps standards high, the campground clean and well maintained. Between rustic power-only campsites that give you a true camping experience and upgraded but, still simple cabins which allow campers of all ages and abilities to enjoy the outdoor experience, there is something for everyone," explains a Lake Frederick visitor.
Activity planning: Schedule around organized events for maximum enjoyment. "This campground has a lot of activities and facilities for campers. It is a bit more open and campsite can be a bit close to each other. But the place was very clean a friendly," notes a Jellystone Park Gardiner camper.
Site selection considerations: Choose locations based on proximity to key facilities. "We started our camping season off right with a quick weekend stay at Round Pound. We were very impressed with the playground on site! Unfortunately, due to our early start in the camping season the weather did not allow us to enjoy fishing or the beach," shares a visitor at West Point FMWR Round Pond Outdoor Recreation Area.
Transportation needs: Consider renting golf carts at larger properties. "Love it here but renting a golf cart is prob not the best option $175 for 2 days and it only goes 5mph I can walk faster than that," advises a Jellystone Park Gardiner guest.
Site leveling challenges: Be prepared for uneven terrain at some locations. "This is what I want for a Catskill campground. It is not a concrete pad haven and yes, there is mud. Our site was even and easy to level on," explains a Thousand Trails Rondout Valley visitor.
Hookup variations: Services differ between campgrounds and specific sites. "The only problem I had was that my Starlink didn't work at the first site (372 - full hookup) but they let me choose another site (435 - no sewer) and I was happy as a clam. Oh yea, the sewer connection in 372 ran uphill for me, but my pipe sits very low," notes another Thousand Trails Rondout Valley camper.
Seasonal variations: Consider weather patterns when booking cabin stays. "As part of the Thousand Trails group, this campground has many amenities. It offers a pool, playground, and activities that include bocce ball, shuffleboard, and horseshoes. The creek that runs by the campground is gorgeous, and my kids had fun finding Crayfish," writes a visitor describing summer activities.
