We love coming here every summer! The sites are all pretty decently sized compared to other campgrounds we have been to. Some sites are definitely hidden gems. Whereas most are listed as waterfront or landlocked, campground regulars know the sites that include their own private beaches (unofficially of course).

The sites are all pretty decently sized compared to other campgrounds we have been to. Some sites are definitely hidden gems. Whereas most are listed as waterfront or landlocked, campground regulars know the sites that include their own private beaches (unofficially of course). This campground used to be known as the big party spot but over the last six years coming regularly it really hasn’t been any thing like that. Yes it gets loud when it’s busy. But nothing out of hand like we have been told in the past. Dispersed throughout the campground are individual bathroom buildings (at least one in every camping section, always in walking distance), and there are three shower complexes. Two new with attached bathrooms and one older communal type. Some key notes, bring lots of bug-spray. Keep an eye out for cancellations because sites book up fast but there are always cancellations. And bring bug spray.

Nice lakeside campsite about 4-5 hours north of NYC. Sites are about $27 a night as of July 2025. Dog friendly and sites near 89-90 has direct water access. Minus one star due to mosquitos.

Lovely campground for our first time camping as a family with friends. We were able to reserve spots early and got 5 asking the same loop, 3 in a row on the lake side, which allowed us to take full advantage of the trees in between for a hammock city for the kids. Conveniently had a bathroom just across the way. Our lot did have a bunch of sheared metal pipe so I would suggest inspecting the si...

A truly beautiful place with stunning scenery, peaceful, quiet, and perfect for a relaxing swim in the lake.

A truly beautiful place with stunning scenery, peaceful, quiet, and perfect for a relaxing swim in the lake. The campground is well-equipped, with clean bathrooms and ample parking, making the experience all the more comfortable. We traveled from Bogota, NJ, about two and a half hours away, and stayed nearby for the weekend. It was absolutely worth the trip. Given its proximity to the NYC metropolitan area, it feels like a hidden gem, and at just a $10 day-use fee, the experience far exceeds the cost. We’re grateful to have discovered this place and look forward to returning.

This is a GREAT campsite. We come every year the last 4 years and love it. Waterfront sites are the best. Hard to get, but worth it!
