A vert quiet RV park. We had a full hookup sites. There were no additional facilities. The sites were level, though somewhat small. It recently went through a name change and it appeared the new owner was trying to improve the campground. It was pricey for what you got.

This campground was a convenient location for our visit to the lower Hudson Valley. It is only about an hour and fifteen minutes to New York City, so it could even be used as a base for visits there. It was quiet, and clean. There are no amenities nor on-site staff. The campground is recently under new ownership, and is now called Serenity Ridge Mountain Club. What had been the upper campgroun... This campground was a convenient location for our visit to the lower Hudson Valley. It is only about an hour and fifteen minutes to New York City, so it could even be used as a base for visits there. It was quiet, and clean. There are no amenities nor on-site staff. The campground is recently under new ownership, and is now called Serenity Ridge Mountain Club. What had been the upper campground is being transformed into a "luxury park model resort." It will be interesting to see what happens to the RV campground. Hopefully, it will remain, and maybe even get some updates. It would be a shame if its days were numbered, since there are not many options in this part of the world. Details: We stayed on site 20, back-in FHU, 50/30/20 pedestal tall enough for Watchdog to clear ground, water, 4" threaded sewer. Water pressure varies from on the low side of okay to low. Utilities are toward the front of the site, but I had to back toward the rear of the site because it is more level toward the rear, so I had to use the extensions for both the electrical and the water, and multiple 10' sections of sewer hose. Toward the rear of the site, level enough to allow auto-leveling with nothing under the tires. Gravel with grass / weeds growing up through it. Spacing was snug on the awning side; with our awning extended, it went right to the edge of the adjacent site. Spacing is very generous on the other side. Water faucet is 1/4 turn and is low to the ground. Picnic table, fire ring. The odd numbered sites in our section are on the uphill side of the road so they slope down toward the front. The even numbered on in our section are on the downside side of the road so they slope down toward the rear. Big rig friendly. OTA TV: 2 France 24, one english, one french, old movies, shopping, that's about it. No PBS, no major networks. AT&T 9.00 Mbps down, 2.57 Mbps up; Verizon 1 bar 5G, 13.3 Mbps down, 2.61 Mbps up. There are a number of restaurants in nearby Florida, and just about anything you would need within a twenty minute drive.

We had a great stay! The location is perfect—we loved exploring the beautiful Hudson Valley and all the great places nearby. The campground was peaceful, clean, and well maintained. Our site was easy to pull into and the hookups were all in great condition.

Hwy 17A is restricted to 10 ton, so not big rig friendly. Site was 50 amp, but voltage dropped to 112v and with 3 a/c and appliances voltage dropped further, and our power manager shut down our power to protect our appliances and a/c. Paid over $95 for a site with dirt, sand, some rock, mowed weeds, and NO amenities. In our 11 yrs of full-time RV living, it's not the worst place, but it's in the b...

They do have good water pressure!
