Hiking the Appalachian Trail: High Point State Park Campground provides access to portions of the Appalachian Trail. "I spent two nights camping with my niece and this campground was perfect.

Animal encounters: Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort maintains a small petting farm with goats and horses. A visitor mentioned, "The farm has goats, a donkey, and a pony within the campground. Very cool. Weekend was busy as usual but during the week it seems to be seasonal that stay."

What Campers Like
Riverside camping spots: Oakland Valley Campground offers sites directly along the Neversink. "Our location was by the river and did not disappoint. It was a rocky location but we didn't mind," said Tonya D. These waterfront sites are among the most requested in summer.
Natural setting with privacy: Campers appreciate secluded sites. "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. River level has more primitive bathrooms," explains Jeanne-Marie P.

What You Should Know
Quiet hours enforcement varies: While some campgrounds strictly enforce quiet hours, others don't. At Oakland Valley, one visitor noted: "The downside though was how loud it got at night with parties and music. It definitely impeded on the peace and quiet. It became frustrating when the noise wasn't addressed by members of the staff."
Site conditions can be challenging: At Stokes State Forest, "Most of the campsites were very rocky, but you can find some that have a little bit of grass," according to Adeline M. Unlevel sites are common throughout the region.
Bear safety requirements: The Westbrookville area is bear country. "Remember, this is bear country so proper food storage is a must. Bear lockers are not provided. The area also has ticks and rattlesnakes," advises one reviewer about nearby camping.
Bathroom access and conditions: Facilities vary widely between locations. "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," reports Damia F.
Tips for Camping with Families
Water activities for children: Neversink River Resort (formerly Deerpark KOA) offers child-friendly water features. "They Inflate these slides, but charge a ridiculous amount to use them. They have a snack snack shop with Ice cream," reports Heather L.
Schedule weekend stays for maximum activities: Weekends offer more organized programs. "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," explains Stephanie H. about a nearby Jellystone Park.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas. "This place was so fun for the entire family, it wasn't that busy, so we didn't really have to worry all the time about the kids getting ran over! The park ranger person came through and gave the kids cool posters," notes Jill R.
Fishing opportunities: Several waterfront cabin locations offer fishing. "We spent most of early spring at Oakland Valley right on the river. Even though covid really forced a shutdown on activities, this one was of my kids favorite places of the year. They loved to fish and play in the river, explore the woods and ride bikes around," shares Katrina R.
Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: Campsites in the Westbrookville region often have challenges with leveling. "Our truck broke down and they were able to accommodate us for an extra nights stay while it was being fixed. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the sites were a bit difficult to back into and unlevel," reports David S.
Dumping facilities: For RVers staying in Westbrookville cabins but bringing their RV, High Point State Park Campground offers sanitary dump stations but limited RV amenities. "Showers are at the day use area, from 10-5:30, no trailer dump, website says laundry, but apparently not," reports Grant M.
Trash disposal systems: Some campgrounds have inconvenient trash systems. "The garbage situation was the worst. Most campsites have a service, they tell you to leave it at a specific location by a certain time or they have many garbage cans throughout. This place had their garbage and recycling very far away," explains one RVer about a nearby campground.
Seasonal site availability: Most full-hookup sites are taken by seasonal campers. "A bit out here in the middle of nowhere, 15-20 minutes from any town. Make sure you have what you need!" advises Faith D. about RV sites near Westbrookville.
