Jellystone Park at Birchwood Acres offers pet-friendly camping options near Woodridge with designated sites for RVs, tents and cabins. This family-oriented campground maintains strict pet policies requiring leashes in common areas. Skyway Camping Resort in Greenfield Park similarly welcomes pets at their campsites with well-maintained grounds and facilities. Both locations provide picnic tables and fire pits at sites where pets are permitted. Neversink Sanctuary features private cabin camping with pets allowed and includes amenities like electric hookups, showers and toilets. The sites are generally spacious with room for pets to relax alongside their owners while maintaining appropriate containment.
Woodland Valley Campground near Phoenicia offers pet-friendly tent and RV sites with access to natural surroundings ideal for dog walking. The campground enforces quiet hours that help manage barking and disturbances. Dogs must be kept leashed when outside designated areas to protect wildlife and other campers. Never Sink Hideaway provides a more primitive camping experience where pets are permitted, though the location lacks facilities like showers and toilets that other pet-friendly sites offer. Recent visitors note the rushing water from the nearby river creates a peaceful camping soundtrack for both humans and pets, though some locations have received mixed reviews regarding cleanliness. Most campgrounds in the area require proper waste disposal and responsible pet management.
"Our RV site was private, surround by trees with a nice fire pit and picnic table."
"There are no bathrooms in the cabin but there are public restrooms nearby. The resorts is decked out with 2 playgrounds, a splash park, kiddie pool, family pool and hot tub."
"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."
"With a new check in area, Gardiner has really stepped up. They expanded the pool area to include another pool plus splash area and water slides."
"Great place situated in a great area with lots to do all within an hour's drive. Even camping during a pandemic was peaceful & fun!"

"Pros: Near wonderful, little-used hiking trails - challenging ones, too!
- Close to Catskill town options to explore, e.g."
"You can see a picture here of the water just a 10 foot trail away from our campsite. All in all a great trip."

ScoutThe campsite was great. Big and going after Labor Day means there was tons of space. Well priced. We did have neighbors that had a trailer and used their generator early in the morning and late at night. Beside that it was fantastic. We had planned on driving to hiking but there was so much to do around the camp site we just walked around and did the hiking near by. The dog park is wonderful. Our dog loved it.
GuideLots of room in many sites for my 24 ft RV and 30 ft trailer. Big meadow in middle with new full playground set.
Dry camping but water available and a sewer dump. Gotta haul your own trash.
Two ponds to play in and a fenced dog park.
Some nice hiking in the park.
GuideSuch a clean and well maintained campground. Staff were so nice and friendly. Only one shower area that was a bit of a trek from our site, a bike would have been nice to get around. We had to move our tent as we had set it back too far and was not on the site pad and park ranger Brian who was very lovely came and asked us to move it and we had a nice chat. Lovely big dog park. There are some nice little walks and small hikes on the ground with a lake that you can rent kayaks or canoes. Close to Woodstock which is a cute town. Our site was a little exposed but the sites either side of us were closed for restoration thankfully. There are some more secluded and set back sites too though.
ScoutRecently, we camped here for a week. We don’t ever post negative reviews like this. The last day, we experienced a violent attack by a very large and aggressive Pit Bull. The Pit Bull did not have a collar or a leash and was accidently let out of the RV to roam free and unsupervised. It immediately ran to our site(4 sites away) and attacked our dog that was tied at the time. The incident was unprovoked. While trying to save our dog, my wife and I were also attacked. The wounds were serious enough to require emergency transport to a hospital for treatment including stitches. All we could think of was what might have happened if our granddaughter had been playing with our dog.
To put it mildly, their existing pet policy is grossly lacking. They never checked what breed of dog or ask to see documentation of shots when we were registering. Yogi Bear Jellystone Park needs to better manage their pet policy to address aggressive dog breeds and ensure the safety of campers. We camped there for seven days and saw multiple sites have more than one large dog, which in many places we’ve camped at would have been banned due to breed type or size. We have RV’ed extensively across the US and have never seen such careless enforcement of a pet policy regarding aggressive dog breeds. Seriously, think about avoiding this park if you have pets or small children.
TravelerGood for skinny dipping and other fun things! Most acidic lake in New York but completely safe.
LegendWe were on a 5 state East Coast camping trip. Our first campground was in New York Aug 8th. Unfortunately, Debbie was socking New York hard. North South Lake Campground in the Catskills was our camping home. Thursday & Friday it was Neverending rain & wind. Saturday was the nice day.
North South Lake has no electricity. The sites are almost all beautiful, tucked in under shady trees. Not a good way to try out our solar panel! Some are by a stream. A few are by the lake. This is a tent campers paradise. New York tent campers are hard core camping during Tropical Storm Debbie!
There are 7 loops. We were in loop 2. Site 85. There are some sites with an incline down to the site. That might give some rvs trouble. It did for us & I had to be driven out of the campground to call 911. Thank you Mary!! It all ended well & we got a different site.
There are bears that visit the campground & one came one of the nights & visited our camping neighbor's site. They showed us a picture- it was a large black bear.
Generators are allowed for 5 hours & they tell you when you can use them.
The bathrooms/showers are state park clean- which means not very.
There is NO cell service & just forget about WiFi. You are unplugged.
This is a hiking park & for this middle aged overweight flatlander they are pretty strenuous. Kaaterskill Falls is an exception - short, easy trail, but the parking fills up quickly. Then they close it! You'll have to take a shuttle to get in.
The trail to the Mountain House Site is also pretty easy, with more of an incline.
There's 2 nice lakes with beaches.
The Catskills are very scenic& we enjoyed our time there!
GuideThis campground is nestled in the Catskills, New York, with easy access to New Jersey and Connecticut. With large campsites and most surrounded by trees, you will find just the right mix of privacy and community depending upon what you are looking for. Although the showers aren't top notch, they do have them and a great recycling center for all of your garbage. If hiking is what you enjoy, they have nearly 4 miles of trails within the campground and surrounding areas that circle two nearby ponds and their day use area. If you are looking for something offsite, don't miss the Giant Ledge hike, a 30 min drive and about a 3 mile out and back hike to Giant Ledge for amazing views overlooking the entire area. Head out to watch the sunrise one morning with awesome views looking east. When you need a break from cooking, don't miss the nearby Phoenicia Diner for some great breakfast and coffee! All of the Park Rangers are very helpful and will provide recommendations and maps, just ask!
TravelerNorth South lake is one of the larger public camp grounds in New York. The sites are well spaced out. Great for families. The lake is huge.
Avoid holidays to avoid the crowds.
TravelerSome things you should be aware of before booking: The office, playground, dog park, pool, laundry are located at the top of the hill. Camping spots are downhill, a good distance from the office and amenities. Trash is located off site in a pullout on the road you drive in on. There are 2 showers for women and 2 for men. Both are old and not well maintained or in our experience clean, either. In general the camping spots are not well maintained, weedy, un-level and picnic tables are weathered and warped. This resort campground is composed of mainly residents, the rules (we observed) apply to the overnight campers, not the residents. Children of the residents run free all day and past curfew in the evenings unsupervised. The setting is quiet, the views from the upper level are lovely. With some updating of bath facilities, cleaning and leveling of campsites, uniform enforcement of rules, Pleasant Acres could become a resort destination.
Camping options near Woodridge extend through Sullivan County in the western Catskill Mountains at elevations between 1,100-1,500 feet. Most campgrounds operate from May through October with peak availability in July and August. Summer temperatures typically range from 55-85°F with cooler nights, while early fall brings crisp mornings and colorful foliage.
Water recreation access: Little Pond Campground offers a small but swimmable pond with boat rentals. "We got a kayak for the day and it was a great rate. Saw beavers and eagles," notes Lauren S. in a review of Little Pond Campground.
Hiking opportunities: Peekamoose Valley provides walk-in access to several trails within minutes of campsites. "In the morning we went hiking, and there are lots of cool hikes close by to do so. Really cool spot, can't wait to return," writes Nora S. about the Peekamoose Valley area.
Family activities: Jellystone Park Gardiner schedules structured entertainment for children throughout the season. "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," reports Stephanie H. who visited during peak summer.
Stream-side settings: Many campsites at Woodland Valley provide natural sound barriers and cooling effects from nearby water. "The mountain creek is like nature singing a lullaby - sleeping next to it was very relaxing," shares John N. about Woodland Valley Campground.
Private sites: Rondout Valley offers secluded campsites despite being a larger facility. "The creek that runs by the campground is gorgeous, and my kids had fun finding Crayfish," mentions Kasey M., who appreciated the Thousand Trails Rondout Valley natural setting.
Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas for children separate from camping areas. "Our 21 month old had the time of his life here! We stayed for 3 nights in June in a rustic cabin. The resorts is decked out with 2 playgrounds, a splash park, kiddie pool, family pool and hot tub," explains Sambath T. from a June stay.
Bathroom maintenance varies: Some campgrounds struggle with facility upkeep during busy periods. "The bathrooms needed updating and people at the tent area made a comment that it took a while to get a turn at the showers," observed Stephanie H. at Jellystone Park Gardiner.
Quiet hours enforcement: Rules regarding noise vary significantly between campgrounds. "They have quiet hours that help manage barking and disturbances," notes one camper, while another mentions: "They are strict with quiet time. Maybe a little too strict, once the kids were finally asleep it was quiet time and we were told to basically go to bed too."
Cell service limitations: Most campgrounds in the area have minimal or no connectivity. "Cell service is non existent and they have a pay phone near the entrance booth where you can use to make/receive phone calls. It's a 20 min drive back into town to get cell service," warns Giselle P. about Skyway Camping Resort.
Book cabin options: Several campgrounds offer cabin accommodations for families seeking more comfort. "Our family enjoyed it! My kids are between the ages of 14 - 4. They all had smiles on their faces. There's a fun splash park with water slides and 2 pools, restaurant onsite, clean bathrooms and showers," shares Aimee A. about her experience.
Consider walk-in sites: Some walk-in sites provide better privacy and waterfront access. "We had a walk in site and it was fantastic! Right on the water and pretty private. Each walk in site has its own bear box and outhouse. Do recommend bringing something with wheels," advises Lauren S. from Jellystone Park at Birchwood Acres.
Pack for temperature shifts: Weather in the area can fluctuate significantly between day and night. "We stayed here mid-March and although it was a little chilly at night, overall a great spot," notes Nora S. who recommends bringing proper layered clothing.
Reserve golf carts early: Larger campgrounds offer golf cart rentals that book quickly. "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!" recommends Sambath T. after visiting with a toddler.
Check site grading: Some campsites have uneven terrain that can complicate RV setup. "The sites are well groomed. We had one and a babbling brook was 30 feet behind us. Great spot for morning coffee," writes Robert M. about his experience at Rondout Valley.
Verify hookup locations: Several campgrounds have unusual hookup placements. "The sewer connection in 372 ran uphill for me, but my pipe sits very low," mentions Inez W. who stayed at Never Sink Hideaway and suggests checking connections before setting up.
