Rainy Rain Rain 🌧

The campground was so huge the grounds were so nice. It had a little arcade, a nice lake, and playground. We like the surrounding area, the mountains and hikes are awesome but we went during October when it was cold and would love to come back when it's warmer so we can actually see what's going on there. People were very nice when we interacted with them.

Best seasonal and transient camping in the Catskills

2023 will be my 6th year seasonal camping at the "Whip". This gem really is the best kept secret campground in the Catskills. From it bathrooms to its pool to its general store , playground , basketball courts , bocceball, 7 acre lake and 2 miles of walkable runable paths , Ted & Angela do a fantastic job of keeping the place running like a top. Always clean and always improving services. I consider this placec my home away from home

Super Friendly Community!

Loved this campsite with tons to do. We did have a rough first night with some inconsiderate neighbors who partied until 7am keeping us up all night but owner assured us he would handle it and that he did! Had a great stay the rest of the weekend. Thanks!

Nice place, run by nice people

Extremely nice staff, even helped us check in late. Campground has lots to do with a rec center, playground, and pool. There's a great view of a lake and surrounding hills.

Bathrooms were very clean, with flush toilets. Water spouts at every site. Sites were really spacious too!

We forgot to check the weather, and came in right before a thunderstorm. After the storm, the staff came out to check on us individually to make sure we were okay! So nice of them.

Only downside was loud geese kept us up. 🦢

Great Campground

Found this campground solely on Internet. Pleasantly surprised that it was more than expected when I arrived. Full facilities and nice fishing pond. Staff was great. Extra bonus for me was a spectacular golf course (Blackhead Mt Resort) only a 5 minute drive away. A real hidden gem. Can't wait to get back this season. 👌
