"I stayed on a lakeside electric/water site for 5 nights in August 2020. It was SO BEAUTIFUL. We had SUPs and kayaks to take on the lake and our sites were right next to the boat launch. "
"We didn’t have a view of the lake, instead we were in someone’s back yard lol. It wasn’t a big deal. The site was well maintained and flat which were the most important."
"This camp site is conveniently located by the river. Which is really the only reason it gets 4 stars."
$20 - $160 / night
"great river based location(Delaware River) bathhouse was very clean, very rustic, sites are huge, plenty of room for 2+ family campers… I know this controversial, but having Wi-Fi would be great esp when"
"It is great family camp ground with amenities that are helpful to parents and new campers such as restrooms, showers, camp shop, canoe/kayak/tube rentals and designated drive in sites with fire ring and"
"Enjoyed walking the trails and wooded area but sprained my right ankle. So I was laid up for a few hours before I left."
$20 - $48 / night
"Pros: -beautiful new bathrooms -private lakeside walk-in sites -beavers! Far away but exciting nonetheless -the Conservation Walk on the island is short, easy, and beautiful. Well-marked."
"Some sites are right on the lake, just put the kayak on the shore, and you're ready for an early morning paddle."
"We liked this site and the one next to it the best out of all of the sites."
"The doors allow for someone to pop their head over from the outside which unfortunately happened during our stay. My kids were too afraid to shower in there after that.. Otherwise I’d give 5 stars"
"Great access to the beaverkill. It’s perfect for a quick getaway."
GuideOur 21 month old had the time of his life here! We stayed for 3 nights in June in a rustic cabin. 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. They have activities on the weekends with Yogi the mascot such as wagon rides, dance parties, arts n crafts. It was a little expensive to stay here but was so worth it! 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!
LegendWe stayed at Happy Days from Friday to Monday with our 21 foot travel trailer. Site P6. Pretty level site. We liked this site and the one next to it the best out of all of the sites. George at the camp store was so helpful and we watched him actively keeping up on and taking care of the campground cleaning, etc. the entire time. Showers had great pressure and bathrooms were super clean. We showered after a Spartan Race Mud Run and they were great. Scenic spot, mature trees, we could hear foxes communicating at night. Firewood available at camp store $7 a bundle. No sewer on sites, but has a dump station. Water pressure at the site was very good. Old school playground for kids, volleyball court. The rec hall had a piano, pool table, ping pong table and more. Close to dining, Kauneonga Lake and Callicoon Farmers Market among others. We will be back!
ScoutMy first time to Oneida was amazing. The staff and people there were welcoming and accepting i felt the bond the community has there its something special and im hoping eventually i can get a parcel of land there i would like to be a seasonal there. Its a place where you can be yourself and express yourself without fear or worry of judgement by your peers. Ive never been some where that felt so inviting and peacefull. Im going to Oneida again it was an amazing experience. Thank you so much everyone who made my trip and visit there so special.
GuideI would rate this a 5 when they’re finished with the upgrades. Unfortunately there was nothing on this saying that they have limited spaces due to construction or that they changed the name. We passed it up at first. A little pricey just for an overnight and since no amenities were available. It will be beautiful when they’re finished. Can’t wait to come back and give them a 5 star review! The best part was at dusk when the animals came out!
TravelerThis is a very nice wooded campground. We LOVED our site (site 9). It was absolutely massive! The photo doesn't do it justice. It was set back very far from the main road and was an extremely large site! Though it was totally private on one side, we could see our neighbors in site 10 on the other (but they weren't very close to us). Also, the back of the site overlooks the main road, but it is far away and didn't bother us at all. It still felt like a very private site. It is also right across the road from a water pump and from the path to the bathrooms so it is a prime location.
The bathrooms were fine. They were clean but sometimes ran out of toilet paper.
There was no cell service in the campground.
The campground does not sell wood, but rangers will direct you to a gas station close by where you can buy some.
Something we did not appreciate/thought was odd about the campground was that the showers were not by the bathrooms and there was only one shower house very far from the campsites. The dishwashing station was also not near the campsites but not as far as the showers.
The fireplaces at each site are cleaned out in between visitors so that was nice.
This campground is about 45 minutes from Minnewaska State Park which is beautiful and has good hiking.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!
GuideGreat for a quick one night camping stop. Clean bathroom and shower with hot water. Very clear camp site.
GuideWhen we arrived we were surprised at how many seasonal campsites there were. We came on a holiday weekend and thought it would be rowdy and loud. So far, nice and quiet.
GuideStayed in the fairly new ledges loop that are all full hookup sites. Nice large sites, beautiful area, friendly rangers. Nice play area for kids, water craft rentals, nice lake. Plenty of picnic areas for day trips.
LegendBeen here before. Follow campground website for entry directions from I-81. Very hilly campground. Sites aren’t level. Nice place.
