    Osa Trail

    Gorgeous Views

    Had a great time here with my wife and 2 little kids and our dog.  One of the most beautiful sunrises we've ever seen!  Very secluded, though Alex is right down the driveway so didn't feel like the middle of nowhere.

    Tri-State RV Park

    Friendly Owners and Reasonable rates

    We just stayed the night last minute. We hit unexpected traffic on the way and the owners were kind enough to wait for us to check in. The sites aren’t anything glamorous but the hookups are great and easy to pull through. It is by the highway so it can be loud at times but I don’t mind. Beautiful river on the property. Bathroom and showers were clean and well stocked.

    Mills Norrie State Park Campground

    Great staff but back-to-back campsite

    We stayed a coupe of days in Oct. This is a beautiful site to camp out. The staffs are friendly and very attentive.
    Bathroom and water pressure was ok. But one shower location for 50 campsites. Three small showers units and three toilet.
    I never stayed a state campsite where the sites are so close each other. If you like a “normal” distance to your neighbors, I'd not recommend this place.

    New York City North-Newburgh KOA

    Good amenities and fun experience!

    Campsites Great campsites, wooded and cozy, though a little tight for longer rigs as our neighbors found out when they ran over a wooden post backing in. But spaced apart nicely with lots of vegetation between. Nice and level. Amenities Bathrooms are older and need of some repair but let me tell you I was very happy to see a normal shower head with real hot water! So no complaints here. Laundry facilities were clean and open 24/7 with reasonable prices 2.50/2.00 washer/dryer. And the dryers actually worked. Small dog park, communal spaces, and a camp store all made the place feel like a little village. They even have a wine store- cab sav was good. WiFi I work remotely and WiFi is always an issue. We have Starlink but in a wooded campsite, connecting is an issue but luckily their WiFi was great. Had no issues and could stream just fine. Halloween! We visited mid October and folks had sites decorated and the KOA has trick or treating and other activities every weekend in Oct. we were SO bummed to be leaving on a Friday and miss the festivities because it looked really fun. Would definitely go back. Also, staff was super nice.

    Russell Brook Campsites

    Clean, Friendly, and Right on the Water

    Loved this place! It's clean and well-maintained - even the restrooms. Every site is well-equipped with its own water, electricity, fire pit, and picnic table. The best part is the waterfront sites. We were right next to a small brook, and falling asleep to the sound of the water behind our tent was amazing. Everyone we met was super friendly. We will definitely be back!

    Brookside Campground

    Not a recreational campsite

    Full disclosure, we did not stay here. PLEASE, folks that leave reviews on this app, PLEASE say whether it’s a full-timer campsite or a recreational campsite. We paid for two weeks in advance of arriving at this site based on reviews available on Google and Dyrt. However, when we arrived we were surprised that this was mostly a trailer park. Call me picky, but I really prefer not to camp in an area where folks are living full time. Just not the vibe I’m going for. We decided to leave without staying. We called to see if we could get a refund and they were very kind and it wasn’t a problem. But just be warned… this is not a recreational campsite.

    Whip O Will Campsites

    Not for recreational campers

    Full disclosure, we did not stay here. PLEASE, folks that leave reviews on this app, PLEASE say whether it’s a full-timer campsite or a recreational campsite. We arrived after leaving another campsite in the area (that was also 100% full timers) and were disappointed to find that this site was all permanent campers with crap everywhere. One site even had a funeral home sign hanging out front of an entire plywood addition to their camper…like what? Call me picky, but I don’t feel entirely comfortable camping for fun next to folks who live in the campground like this. After driving through the super narrow and rutted out roads to the site they recommend, a man came hauling a** into our site (with a beer in his hand) and was saying “hello hellooooo.” Said he was the owner of the campsite and asked if we were staying, we said we were thinking about it, just checking out the available sites (as the lady up front told us to do). TL;DR- bad vibes. Didn’t stay. Be warned this is a full time campsite with crap everywhere. The lady working the office was super nice though.

    Taconic Hereford Multiple Use Park

    Convenient pit stop

    This spot is easy to find and access, and had decent ATT service. There's only a few spots, and the road is narrow with not much turnaround room, I wouldn't recommend for trailers or RVs.


Guide to Woodridge

Camping sites near Woodridge, New York offer access to the southeastern Catskill region, situated between 1,100-1,400 feet in elevation with moderate summer temperatures averaging 75-80°F during peak season. The area receives approximately 44 inches of annual rainfall, creating lush forest conditions that provide natural shade at most campsites. The camping season typically runs longer than many Catskill locations due to the protected valley positioning.

What to do

Hiking from camp: Woodland Valley Campground provides direct access to the Slide Mountain Wilderness. As one camper noted, "Hiked the slide mountain loop the next morning. We asked in the am if there was anything available for the evening after our hike - there was not but they said we could have first dibs once we got back."

Creek exploration: Woodland Valley Campground features a mountain creek that enhances the camping experience. "The mountain creek is like nature singing a lullaby - sleeping next to it was very relaxing; weather was great and we could see the stars through the canopy - very very enjoyable," shared one visitor.

Water recreation: Multiple waterways provide opportunities for summer activities. At Neversink Sanctuary, campers can enjoy "kayaking, tubing, birdwatching and fishing" according to site information. The property offers private access to water activities without crowds.

Local exploration: The region contains several small towns within a 20-minute drive. One camper staying at Thousand Trails Rondout Valley mentioned, "The nearby towns are adorable and offer shopping, hiking, farms, and more."

What campers like

Riverside sites: Proximity to water remains highly valued by campers. One visitor to Never Sink Hideaway shared, "The campsite is gorgeous and right on the river. The rushing water is the perfect soundtrack to fall asleep to."

Pool facilities: Multiple campgrounds feature swimming pools as alternatives to natural water bodies. A visitor to Jellystone Park Gardiner commented, "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."

Privacy between sites: Despite being established campgrounds, many locations offer separation between campsites. A Peekamoose Valley camper observed, "The setting was nice, close to the creek, with a stone fire ring at each. You can see the folks in the next site but there's quite a bit of privacy."

Natural ambiance: The surrounding forest creates a peaceful atmosphere. As noted at Woodland Valley, "No mobile signal, but that's the point, isn't it? You get to disconnect from it all for a while."

What you should know

Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds in the region close during winter months. For example, Skyway Camping Resort operates "May 1 - Oct 14" while Jellystone Park at Birchwood Acres runs "May 1 to Columbus Day."

Bathroom facilities vary: Quality and availability of restrooms differs between locations. A camper at Jellystone Park Gardiner noted issues: "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."

Maintenance differences: Some campgrounds maintain facilities better than others. At Thousand Trails Rondout Valley, a visitor observed, "Our site was even and easy to level on. Lots of locals and summer residents. Our biggest issue was that they are still training their staff how to deal with families."

Limited cell service: Most locations have minimal connectivity. One Woodland Valley camper reported, "No/ very limited cell service but that's not important." Consider downloading offline maps before arrival.

Tips for camping with families

Activity planning: Campgrounds with organized events keep children engaged. A visitor to Jellystone Park Gardiner 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."

Site selection matters: Location within campgrounds affects experience. "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."

Water features: Skyway Camping Resort offers "a nice pool, this is a good family campground for kids. It's large with nice size sites," according to a recent visitor. Many families prioritize swimming options during summer months.

Transportation options: Some larger resorts offer on-site transport. One family noted about Jellystone Park, "Make sure you reserve a golf cart if you stay during the weekend- it's a must have to get from place to place and our little guy loved it!"

Tips from RVers

Hookup placement: At some campgrounds, utilities may be positioned awkwardly. One RVer at Thousand Trails noted, "The sewer connection in 372 ran uphill for me, but my pipe sits very low."

Technology concerns: Satellite internet users may face challenges. "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," shared an RVer at Thousand Trails Rondout Valley.

Site dimensions: Many campgrounds accommodate various RV sizes but with limitations. Jellystone Park at Birchwood Acres is described as "big-rig-friendly" but site dimensions aren't specified, so calling ahead is recommended.

Leveling requirements: Terrain varies significantly between and within campgrounds. A camper at Thousand Trails Rondout Valley mentioned having a site that was "even and easy to level on," but conditions can vary by specific site number.
