    Moon Valley Campground

    Very unique smaller private campground

    This was a great campsite nestled in the foothills of Northern NJ on the NY border. Small, clean with great views and great location for hiking , cruising etc. Bring your tent or use the existing glamping tents. Headed back for a fall weekend in the "dome" which has incredible views. Try it you won't be sorry.

    Treetopia Campground

    Amazing camping/Glamping!

    Treetopia is a unique and truly amazing camping/Glamping experience in the Catskills, New York! We were able to meet Betty, Treetopia’s manager, who toured us around the campground and took us into each type of rental they provide for that special camping trip. They have RV sites, yurts, custom furnished treehouses with electricity, beautiful tiny homes with outdoor living spaces, completely remodeled vintage airstreams, and gorgeous private cabins! Every unit was more beautiful and comfortable than the next. The backdrop for the campground is the wonderful Catskill Mountains and all of the nature that includes. A wonderfully inspiring place! 😊👍🏻

    If you have an RV, they have 30/50 amp with electric and water. There is no sewer, but they have a dump-station and on-site Honeywagon truck that you can schedule. They staff was wonderful and went out of their way to make our stay perfect! 💗

    Slumberland at the River's Edge

    Kayak camping at its finest, right on the upper Delaware River!

    Me and two friends do a yearly kayak trip down the Delaware river and have progressively moved north each year. This year, MDW of 2023, we were traveling between Narrowsburg, NY and Port Jervis, NY. Traveling 10-15 miles a day, we ended our second day of paddling at Slumberland on the Rivers Edge. The host put out a orange cone that made finding our campsite easy and a nice beach made unloading and loading kayaks pretty easy. The accommodations were top notch, with lights already on, and a table set, along with a grill, fire pit, and covered porch and canvas tent that housed two queen sized beds along with an electric stove and a woodstove. We were able to relax on the adirondack chairs on the deck as the sun went down and our fire (wood provided by host) and the porch lights remained glowing. It was nice change from camping in our tents and sleeping pads as we are used to along the river, as the beds were very comfortable, and the heater and canvas tent kept us warm during 40 degree temperatures at night. It was quiet and peaceful and you had your own space far from the other sites at slumberland (unlike many other campgrounds along the river). We all enjoyed our stay and had a great time and I would highly recommend to any kayak campers along the river looking for more than just a patch of grass to set up a tent on.

    Alder lake

    One of our favorites!!

    We arrived here early afternoon, which ended up being perfect timing as we could set up everything and catch sunset by the fire. The place is pretty easy to access with paved road the whole way there except for the last 1/2 mile where it is very bumpy. Some might say 4*4 but we made it just fine in our little Camry. There are two campsites located right outside of the park where you can park your car next to your tent but we opted to hike in. The first spot is less than 1/2 mile down the path, with the next three in the next mile. The campsites are very spacious with lots of room between you and other campers, and have a fire pit and some have picnic tables. We had a stellar time just hiking down the path and relaxing by the water. There’s no noise at night apart from the running water of the stream and we had a very peaceful weekend. We’re most definitely returning!

    High Point State Park Campground

    Relaxing and Well-Maintained

    Stayed 2 nights and it was really nice. Camping for summer is pretty limited to Sawmill Lake, as the other locations are for groups or winter camping. Camps are secluded from each other and most if not all have an elevated space to put tents or chairs. Each place comes with a lamp hang, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Bathrooms are spaced out. No running water except for pump founded outside of the bathrooms. Toilets are pump flushed. Showers are only located INSIDE High Point State Park, not throughout the campsites, but entry is free for campers. One hiking trail is accessible in Sawmill campground, 3 others are accessible on the road outside of the campground and the rest are located inside the park. When you arrive you have to check in with the park office for your campsite tag. Hours are 8-4. Park officials come through the campsites pretty regularly, a few times a day which is nice. Areas are clean and well maintained.

    Stokes State Forest

    Ranger Review: humangear FlexiBowl and GoBites at Steam Mill Campground

    Campground Review

    Stokes State Forest has four campgrounds. The Steam Mill Camping Area is tucked out the of the way and is the most primitive. It is the smallest of the campgrounds with 27 sites only suitable for tents or small trailers/campervans. No pets or alcohol allowed.

    The campground has a pit toilet and a well. Each large campsite has a picnic table, fire pit, and lantern hook. Some sites also have a tent platform. Many sites are a bit rocky.

    We selected site T219. It was a solid choice: private but close to the toilet and water. Some sites located around the opposite side of the ring back up to a babbling brook. The rushing water will soothe you to sleep.

    Remember, this is bear country so proper food storage is a must. Bear lockers are not provided. The area also has ticks and rattlesnakes.

    Outdoor activities in the area abound. Go fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, kayaking, and more. There are 21 marked trails that cover over 63 miles within the boundaries of Stokes State Forest. Twelve miles are part of the Appalachian Trail. Pick up a hiking map at the park office or download the Avenza Maps app.

    This visit we hiked the Tillman Ravine trail (tip: make the trail a loop and visit both the ravine and the nearby old cemetery).

    You can also drive or hike to Sunset Mountain Scenic Overlook for a view of High Point Monument. High Point Monument is the highest elevation in New Jersey and is located in High Point State Park which borders Stokes State Forest on the north. High Point State Park also offers camping, hiking, sightseeing opportunities. And, on the western border of Stokes State Forest is the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. So, there is lots of outdoors to get out and explore!

    Product Review

    We camped at the Steam Mill Camping Area in Stokes State Forest in our campervan over a chilly autumn weekend. We had the opportunity to cook some soup on our stovetop and chill out by the campfire. And, as Rangers for The Dyrt, we get products to test from time to time so we were psyched to try out some new dinnerware and cutlery. This included the FlexiBowl and GoBites from humangear.

    What made these humangear products pretty awesome? Well, the fun colors to start. I mean, seriously, my orange bowl rules. The FlexiBowl also has some neat features: it’s flexible - just like the name suggests - and foldable. The bowl can be squished and stuffed anywhere. And, the top section can be folded down to create a smaller bowl. The FlexiBowl is versatile yet durable. It held my hearty, warm soup just perfectly.

    I paired the FlexiBowl with one of the GoBites utensils (the Uno model). The Uno model is my favorite - it has a fork on one side and a spoon on the other side. Very simple and convenient. The other GoBites models include the Duo (separate fork and spoon that can snap together) and the Trio (a fork, spoon, and knife - with bottle opener - in a case).

    PRO TIP: I keep the Trio GoBites model in my travel pack at all times. It recently came in handy on a (non-camping) trip to Sardinia. The knife on the Trio allowed me to slice some delicious local cheese to pair with bread, jam, and wine that was purchased from the grocery store. YUM.

    Oakland Valley Campground

    Family friendly campground

    Nice, family friendly campground with 3 levels to camp at. Top level has a pool, showers and bathrooms with laundry area and game room. Middle level has open field with bathrooms with sinks and running water. There is water and electric on the sites at the middle level. River level has more primitive bathrooms and some bathrooms with running water. You can camp right next to the river and it has a great view.

    Lake Taghkanic State Park Campground

    Great Spot!

    Big and spacious state park with many camping options. Has options for trailers, tent sites, platforms for tents and even some cabins. Small store in park that sells firewood and ice and a few other things you may need. Big lake with swimming and boating as well as many hiking trails. Bathrooms on site as well as showers. Some sites are close together, but there are a few a little more secluded and set back. Fire pits are great. Can’t wait to camp here again!


Guide to Wallkill

The Wallkill area offers both primitive and luxury camping experiences at elevations ranging from 300-800 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures average 70-85°F with cooler evenings in spring and fall. Most Wallkill glamping accommodations operate seasonally, with peak availability from May through October when weather conditions are optimal for outdoor activities.

What to do

Water activities: Jellystone Park Gardiner has a shallow water park section that's ideal for younger children. According to Amanda S., "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."

River exploration: Camp along the river at Oakland Valley Campground for direct water access. "We spent most of early spring at Oakland Valley right on the river... They loved to fish and play in the river, explore the woods and ride bikes around," shares Katrina R. The riverfront sites provide natural entertainment for all ages.

Hiking options: Explore trails near campsites or venture to nearby state parks. "We went to see Acosting falls one morning but due to the drought it was a trickle instead of a waterfall," notes Stephanie H. about day trips from Jellystone Park. The Shawangunk Mountains provide additional hiking opportunities.

Laser tag and games: Entertainment beyond water features includes active options for older children. "They have lasertag which they enjoy. And a bounce pillow," mentions Amanda S. These structured activities supplement natural exploration opportunities.

What campers like

Weekend events: Jellystone Park Gardiner schedules regular activities for families. Jennifer I. notes, "This campground is great for kids. It has a event just about every weekend with kid activity." These organized events help structure camping trips, especially for first-time campers.

Adult amenities: While many campgrounds prioritize children's activities, some offer adult-focused options. "Great pool with beverages for the adults.... Making this a yearly trip as well," says Jody B. about Jellystone Park's balance of family and adult experiences.

Privacy levels: The Awosting Club Members-Only Campground provides exclusive camping with more seclusion than public options. For those seeking middle ground, Thousand Trails Rondout Valley offers varied privacy. "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 Ian R.

Natural water features: Many visitors specifically appreciate creeks and rivers at campsites. "The creek that runs by the campground is gorgeous, and my kids had fun finding Crayfish," shares Kasey M. about Thousand Trails Rondout Valley. Water features consistently rank high in positive reviews.

What you should know

Bathroom facilities: Bathroom quality varies significantly between campgrounds. At Oakland Valley Campground, "Top level has a pool, showers and bathrooms with laundry area and game room. Middle level has open field with bathrooms with sinks and running water...River level has more primitive bathrooms and some bathrooms with running water," explains Jeanne-Marie P.

Noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience significant noise issues. "Campsite can be a bit close to each other," mentions Jenna S. about Jellystone Park. Samantha H. notes about Oakland Valley: "The downside though was how loud it got at night with parties and music...the noise wasn't addressed by members of the staff and continued well into the a.m."

Camping levels: Several campgrounds feature tiered camping areas with different amenities. Oakland Valley offers three distinct levels with varying proximity to water and facilities. David S. mentions site challenges: "Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the sites were a bit difficult to back into and unlevel."

Military-only options: For military families, West Point FMWR Round Pond Outdoor Recreation Area provides exclusive access. "We love that its a place specifically for Vets and active Military. Everyone is amazingly respectful of each other and the caretakers take such care of the grounds," explains a camper identified as "Name."

Tips for camping with families

Site selection: High Point State Park Campground in nearby New Jersey offers varied camping options. "Camping right along the lake was nice, small trail to walk around river and trails to hike into the mt," notes Christine N. Consider proximity to water features when selecting sites with children.

Age considerations: When glamping in Wallkill with diverse age groups, check activity appropriateness. "I was worried my 12 year old would be too old for it but he enjoyed making friends there," shares Stephanie H. about Jellystone Park. Older children often enjoy social opportunities at busier campgrounds.

Expectation management: Some glamping facilities advertise more than they deliver. "The kids were around until about 10:30 or so each night. People tend to walk through your campsite constantly. Even adults with their dogs," reports Stephanie H., highlighting the reality of popular family campgrounds.

Preparation for weather: The Wallkill area experiences seasonal temperature fluctuations. Plan for cooler evenings, especially in spring and fall. "It was Memorial Day Sunday when we stopped in...Our location was by the river and did not disappoint. It was a rocky location but we didn't mind," shares Tonya D. about Oakland Valley Campground.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: Prepare for potentially uneven sites at area campgrounds. David S. notes about Oakland Valley: "The sites were a bit difficult to back into and unlevel. Otherwise a very nice place to relax." Bring leveling blocks for RVs.

Rental equipment: Some campgrounds offer golf cart rentals, but consider cost vs. benefit. "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 Scott about Jellystone Park.

Recovery experiences: Skyway Camping Resort provides full hookups with additional amenities. "Nice well maintained park, full hookups with cable and wifi," reports Jackie M. For technical difficulties, many campgrounds accommodate extended stays. "Our truck broke down and they were able to accommodate us for an extra nights stay while it was being fixed," shares David S. about Oakland Valley Campground.

Wi-Fi access: Internet connectivity varies significantly between campgrounds. "The Wi-Fi is also bad here," notes Stephanie H. about Jellystone. For remote workers, this consideration may influence site selection more than recreational amenities.
