My wife and I stayed at the campground for a couple days. Very nice and relaxing. The staff was curdious and willing to help with our reservation requests. We will be back in the fall time for sure.

My 11 year old daughter and I love Camp Blue Diamond! Wonderful camp and staff!

My boys went to Camp Blue Diamond with their class from Bellefonte Elementary School some years ago. Everyone looked forward to it. My children loved it.

I never give 5 stars, always room for improvement somewhere. That being said, this was our first time, ever, at the RV campground. For the most part we had a wonderful stay. Amanda booked the site for us. She was amazing and very helpful. She gets 5 stars perhaps. Friday night started off a little iffy with the next door site but that was quickly handled by the host couple, problem solved. Just ba... I never give 5 stars, always room for improvement somewhere. That being said, this was our first time, ever, at the RV campground. For the most part we had a wonderful stay. Amanda booked the site for us. She was amazing and very helpful. She gets 5 stars perhaps. Friday night started off a little iffy with the next door site but that was quickly handled by the host couple, problem solved. Just bad timing on our part. Only one real concern we had was the lack of many, again many not following many of the camp rules. Didn't ruin the weekend at all, just was disappointed for being a Christian campground. Also we hope that the camp doesn't turn all the "better" sites into seasonal sites. Also a thank you to the young lady, I believe the program directors wife, for allowing us to take a tour of the camp. Very nice setup indeed. We certainly plan on returning, even yet this year.

I have been going to Camp Blue Diamond with my family for many years in the Winter. We consider it a great family tradition. It's a beautiful and tranquil place in the middle of Roth Rock State Forest. The people who run the camp are great!

We had a great camping trip at Blue Mountain Campground. Coming from the city, traffic was worse than we had anticipated so we barely arrived on time for 8pm check in but everything worked out. I wished we had left the city earlier so we could have explored more. We stayed for 2 nights over the weekend in Cabin 5. It was perfect for us as a couple.

Coming from the city, traffic was worse than we had anticipated so we barely arrived on time for 8pm check in but everything worked out. I wished we had left the city earlier so we could have explored more. We stayed for 2 nights over the weekend in Cabin 5. It was perfect for us as a couple. We slept on the bottom double bed and used the top bunk for storage. We went in the middle of October and the cabin was warm and equipped with a faux fireplace that kept us warm. We also had a mini fridge for our food. We bought wood from the campground and enjoyed s'mores but we got rained on so only lasted about an hour. Bathrooms were clean & what you'd expect from a campground. We will definitely be back!

I stayed here 3 months while I was working and this campground was one of the best I’ve stayed at in my 15 years of travel. Tho owners are very nice and accommodating. Bathrooms always clean. Grass is kept mowed. They have a store on site that has all the necessities you might have forgotten or ended up needing. They fill propane onsite which is a huge convenience as well.

This was a great campground for memorial day weekend! We used a tent(actual camping), so my review may not be suitable for RVs. The facilities were very well maintained and clean. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and overall delightful. The mountain scenery can't be beat. Woodstock is 10 minutes up the road, and amazing hikes throughout the catskills.

The facilities were very well maintained and clean. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and overall delightful. The mountain scenery can't be beat. Woodstock is 10 minutes up the road, and amazing hikes throughout the catskills. They weren't overly strict, and as long as your respectful of those around you, you're good to go. Would definitely return here for our next round in the Catskills!

I love it! Beautiful, clean, very inviting. It’s a nice quiet experience. There’s a pool, playground and game room fit the kids. Laundry mat with good prices. A pavilion perfect for get togethers. A good wholesome family environment

This campground is in a great location for accessing some amazing hikes and conveniently located near the thruway, so it is particularly great for a late afternoon/evening arrival in the Catskills. We tent camped. All the sites were very clean and well maintained. Some sites were great, with really nice flat areas for a tent, while others were not as great for tents (not as level, rocky, roots)....

Some people may not like that there are a lot of RVs and many seem to be there on a more permanent basis. But, overall, we had a great experience and would return!
