Butternut Grove Campsites

17 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 4 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Butternut Grove Campsites in Roscoe, NY, offers 18 full-hookup RV sites, 4 cabins, and 4 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 45 feet. The site categories are named for where they sit: riverfront back-ins, field back-in 30/50-amp, grove back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, back-in 50-amp, back-in 50-amp water-and-electric, plus Amanda's Trailer for guests arriving without a rig. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, and on-site dining cover everything. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. Fly fishing is the reason to book. The Beaverkill — the birthplace of American dry-fly fishing — runs through the property with a quarter mile of frontage, and fishing guides work out of the campground. A pond, hiking, kayaking, and horseshoes fill out the rest. Roscoe sits in the Catskills, reached via State Highway 17, which is being renamed 86; take exit 92 toward Crooks Falls. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Riverfront sites book first once the trout season opens.

Royal Mountain Campground

In Johnstown, New York—in Fulton County at the southern gateway to the Adirondacks where the Mohawk Valley's historical corridor, Sir William Johnson's colonial-era Johnson Hall mansion, the Adirondack foothills' first-growth forests, and the 44 lakes of Fulton County's lake district create the specific upstate New York environment where Revolutionary War heritage, working-class Adirondack culture, and freshwater fishing intersect in one of the state's historically richest but least overcrowded regional corridors—Royal Mountain Campground provides tent and RV sites with water and electric hookups including 30 and 50-amp full hookup options, a stocked fishing pond, nature trails, volleyball and bocce ball and horseshoe courts, a playground, a community fire pit, laundry facilities, WiFi, and Granny's Ice Cream Shanty on-site in the family-operated Fulton County campground that the Johnstown location places within reach of the Adirondack Park's southern boundary, the historic sites of the Mohawk Valley, and the 44 Lakes region's summer recreation circuit. The stocked fishing pond, the on-site ice cream destination, and the Adirondack gateway positioning together constitute the combination that makes Royal Mountain a family campground rather than a transit stop. Water and electric hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp service, full hookup positions for guests requiring sewer connections, and tent sites provide the accommodation range at the family-operated campground. A stocked fishing pond on the property provides the immediate catch-and-release fishing access that the youngest campers particularly value—a pond 30 yards from the site requires no fishing license for children in New York and no early-morning boat launch logistics. Nature trails through the Fulton County woodland landscape connect the campground's grounds to the surrounding forest. Volleyball, bocce ball, and horseshoe courts provide the organized outdoor competition that family and group campground programming traditionally centers on. A playground, community fire pit, grills, and picnic tables complete the family outdoor living infrastructure. Granny's Ice Cream Shanty on-site provides the light food and dessert destination that transforms a campground ice cream stop into a reason guests who aren't camping drive to the property on summer evenings. Laundry facilities, hot showers, propane service, and WiFi serve the practical needs. Johnson Hall State Historic Site—in Johnstown—is the 1763 Georgian-style manor house of Sir William Johnson, British Superintendent of Indian Affairs and the most politically influential colonial figure in the Mohawk Valley, whose relationships with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the colonial New York government shaped the northeastern frontier in the decades before the American Revolution. The site's historic interpretation of colonial-era Mohawk Valley politics and Johnson's role in the French and Indian War makes it the most substantive historical attraction in Fulton County. The Adirondack Animal Land—accessible from the campground within minutes—is Fulton County's wildlife preserve and petting zoo providing the family day-trip destination that combines the native Adirondack wildlife education with the hands-on animal encounter that younger visitors specifically request. The Adirondack Rail Trail's converted railroad corridor provides the cycling and walking access into the Adirondack foothills' lake and forest landscape that Fulton County's outdoor recreation calendar makes available from the Johnstown area. Royal Mountain Campground is open seasonally through New York's camping calendar. Summer brings the lake district's peak recreation season, with the Fulton County Lake Association's 44 lakes providing the boating and fishing calendar that makes this region a genuine destination rather than a transit corridor. Reserve early for the peak summer weeks and the Adirondack foliage season in October, fish the pond on arrival evening, and let Johnson Hall's colonial heritage and Granny's Ice Cream earn the Fulton County stay that the 44 Lakes district has been providing upstate New York families for generations.

Heritage Acres

164 RV Sites, 15 Tent Sites

Heritage Acres in Galway, NY, offers RV and tent sites with room for rigs up to 35 feet. Check that 35-foot maximum against your rig before booking — this is a small-rig campground, suited to vans, truck campers, and shorter trailers. Contact the campground for site count, hookups, and amp service, since those specifics aren't published. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and WiFi cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, sport courts, basketball, a playground, and a stocked pond fill the grounds, with fishing and planned activities on the calendar. Galway sits in the quiet countryside of Saratoga County, a short drive from Saratoga Springs — the racing meet, the mineral springs, and the performing arts center — with the southern Adirondacks and the Great Sacandaga Lake within easy reach. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Confirm your rig fits the 35-foot limit before you reserve, and ask about hookups when you call.

Sun Retreats Birchwood Acres

29 RV Sites, 24 Cabins, 20 Tent Sites, 6 Cottages, 4 Onsite RV/Trailers, 13 Villas, 29 Lodges, 1 Park Model

Sun Retreats Birchwood Acres in Greenfield Park, NY, offers 33 full-hookup RV sites, 73 cabin, cottage, lodge, park model, and villa rentals, and 20 tent sites, with 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 40 feet. RV sites are 50-amp back-ins carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table, and there's a premium one-bedroom RV rental with a bunk room for guests without a rig. Note the electrical: the resort runs 50-amp service, so a rig wired for lighter service will need an adapter. With 73 rentals against 33 RV sites, this is a cabin resort that also takes RVs. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a snack bar, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, golf cart rentals, and bike rentals cover the practical side. A free resort app and a rewards program are available. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The recreation is exhaustive: two pools, an interactive water zone with inflatable toys, a hot tub and sauna, a recreation center with an arcade and laser tag, a jumping pillow, tennis, sport courts, basketball, volleyball, bocce, shuffleboard, horseshoes, gaga ball, gem panning, boat rentals and paddle boats on a private four-acre lake, walking trails, and a planned-activity calendar that runs Memorial Day through Labor Day without a gap. Greenfield Park sits in the Catskill foothills in Ulster County. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Summer books far ahead.

Spacious Skies Woodland Hills

136 RV Sites, 18 Tent Sites, 1 Cottage, 3 Onsite RV/Trailers

Spacious Skies Woodland Hills in Austerlitz, New York, offers 139 RV sites, a cottage, and 18 tent sites in the upper Hudson Valley, with 20 and 30-amp service and rigs accepted up to 100 feet. A Cosmic Canine pull-through category for guests with dogs joins lakeview, full-hookup, and water-and-electric back-in tiers, with an outdoor pool, beach, and jumping pillow. One hundred thirty-nine sites span back-in, water-and-electric back-in, lakeview back-in, and Cosmic Canine pull-thru categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 100 feet. Confirm your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site, and check amp service with the campground for your rig — the category names and the resort record do not fully agree. One hundred feet is exceptional for the Northeast. A cottage, Riverside Retro trailers, and 18 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a lake and pond supporting boating, paddle boats, fishing, and swimming. A jumping pillow, gem mining, volleyball, basketball, corn hole, a playground, pavilion, community fire pit, and dog park fill the rest. Columbia County sits where the Berkshire Hills meet the Catskill foothills, with Tanglewood, Hancock Shaker Village, and the Hudson Valley's art corridor close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Jellystone Park™ Gardiner

136 RV Sites, 77 Cabins, 19 Tent Sites, 59 Cottages, 2 Houses, 2 Lodges

Jellystone Park Gardiner in Gardiner, New York, offers 136 RV sites, 140 cabin, cottage, house, and lodge rentals, and 19 tent sites across 100 rolling acres above the Wallkill River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. A water park, lazy river, and full Jellystone activity program run beneath the Shawangunk Ridge. Sites run from premium back-in and pull-through to Red Carpet and riverfront categories — riverfront deluxe RV/tent, riverfront premium, and riverfront Red Carpet — all carrying 20, 30, and 50-amp with water and sewer, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. One hundred forty cabins, cottages, houses, and lodges cover every lodging format, and 19 tent sites serve simpler camping. Cable TV reaches the sites, and a dump station, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Note that a daily resort fee applies and covers mini-golf, playground, and the wider amenity set. Recreation is the product here. A water park, lazy river, outdoor pool, and inflatable water toys anchor the summer, with mini-golf, a jumping pillow, laser tag, an arcade, and a craft room besides. Tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, and gaga ball spread across the grounds, and a pond and lake support fishing. Walking trails, a dog park, community fire pit, and golf cart rentals round it out. On-site dining covers meals. Pets are welcome. The Shawangunk Ridge rises above the property — the white conglomerate cliffs that climbers know as the Gunks. Mohonk Mountain House, state park access, and Hudson Valley wineries are all close. Summer is the peak by a wide margin. Book well ahead for July and August weekends.

The Campground at Bethel Woods

414 RV Sites, 25 Tent Sites, 60 Glamping Sites

The Campground at Bethel Woods in Swan Lake, New York, offers 414 RV sites, 25 tent sites, and 60 glamping sites on the historic grounds of the 1969 Woodstock festival, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 60 feet behind a gated entrance. Premier RV and car camping categories join a disc golf course, general store, and community fire pit. Four hundred fourteen back-in sites run in Premier RV and car camping categories, carrying water and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet. Plan around the hookups: sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity accordingly. Twenty-five tent sites and 60 glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and portable toilets handle the practical side. Two things worth knowing: the camping price does not include concert tickets, and lawn and camping chairs are permitted in the campgrounds. A disc golf course, pond, pavilion, and community fire pit fill the grounds. The amenity set is deliberately restrained — the property exists to serve the amphitheater and the museum, not to compete with them. Pets are welcome. Guests sleep on the actual site where half a million people gathered over three days in August 1969 to define a generation's relationship to music and possibility. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, its museum, and its concert pavilion sit on the same ground, in the Sullivan County countryside of the Catskills. Demand tracks the concert calendar entirely. Check the schedule and reserve as early as you can for show weekends.

Bonnie Brae Cabins & Campsites

24 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites, 4 Onsite RV/Trailers

Situated in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in the heart of the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites offers a comfortable base for guests exploring one of New England's most culturally and naturally rich regional destinations. The campground's cabin and rental trailer accommodations provide a furnished lodging alternative for guests who prefer a stationary retreat with access to the Berkshires' full range of outdoor and cultural offerings without the logistics of towing or driving a large rig through the hills. The campground's accommodation options—cabins and rental trailers—are suited to couples, families, and small groups seeking a convenient Berkshires base that does not require hauling camping equipment to a mountain destination. The property's positioning within the Pittsfield area keeps guests close to Pontoosuc Lake, where boating, fishing, and waterfront recreation are available just minutes from the campground, and Pittsfield State Forest, which provides hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing trails through diverse Berkshire woodland terrain. The Berkshire Hills landscape surrounding Pittsfield is defined by rounded granite ridges and hardwood-forested hillsides that produce among the most celebrated fall foliage displays in the northeastern United States. The Housatonic River valley below the ridge line gives the region its characteristic mix of pastoral farmland, forested hillsides, and small-city cultural infrastructure that has drawn artists, writers, and musicians to the Berkshires since the 19th century. Seasonal walking, wildflower observation, and wildlife watching through the campground's surrounding forest add a natural dimension to stays focused primarily on the region's cultural programming. The Hancock Shaker Village, a short drive from Pittsfield, preserves one of the most intact 19th-century Shaker communities in the country—a living history site where the distinctive Shaker architecture, craftsmanship, and communal agricultural heritage are interpreted through guided tours and hands-on demonstrations. The broader Berkshires cultural scene encompasses Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox—the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra—along with internationally recognized theater at Shakespeare & Company and Barrington Stage Company, and a dense concentration of galleries, antique dealers, and artisan studios across the county's small towns. Bonnie Brae Cabins and Campsites is open through the warm-weather season, with summer and fall representing the two peak periods. The summer arts season—anchored by Tanglewood's July and August concert schedule—brings the highest visitor volumes to the Berkshires, while October foliage season creates a second surge of demand across all accommodation types in the region. Advance reservations for cabin stays during Tanglewood weekends and peak fall color weeks are strongly recommended, as Berkshire County accommodations fill well ahead of those high-demand dates each year. The Housatonic River valley, which runs south through Berkshire County past Great Barrington and Sheffield, provides a scenic corridor for additional day trips and outdoor exploration for guests spending multiple days at the campground and looking to move beyond Pittsfield's immediate surroundings into the southern Berkshires. The Berkshire Hills themselves—the southernmost section of the Green Mountains that extend into western Massachusetts—reach elevations approaching 3,500 feet at Mount Greylock, the state's highest point, providing a mountain hiking experience accessible within a day trip from the campground.

West Canada Creek Campground

57 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites

West Canada Creek Campground in Poland, New York, offers 57 RV sites, two cabins, and three tent sites directly on the creek in the Adirondack foothills, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 57 feet.

Fifty-seven sites span standard back-in, back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, premium back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, deluxe waterfront back-in, and premium waterfront back-in categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV, sized to 57 feet, with fire pits. The waterfront categories put you on the creek and are worth requesting early; confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Two cabins, including a four-person unit, and three tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with the creek supporting swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. A pond, playground, basketball, and biking fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season, productive birding, and a casino nearby. Pets are welcome. West Canada Creek is a fast-moving Adirondack stream, and the property occupies a forested stretch where hemlocks and northern hardwoods line the water. Poland sits midway between Syracuse and Albany, 12 minutes north of Utica. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Lone Oak Campsites

152 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 19 Tent Sites, 3 Lodges, 7 Park Models

Lone Oak Campsites in East Canaan, Connecticut, offers 152 RV sites, 11 cabin, lodge, and park model units, and 19 tent sites across 50 acres in the Litchfield Hills, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 85 feet. Full hookup, water-and-electric, and non-hookup categories join two pools, a hot tub, and the Hayloft Lounge. One hundred fifty-two sites span 20/30-amp full hookup, 30/50-amp full hookup back-in, 30/50-amp full hookup pull-through, water-and-electric, and non-hookup categories, sized to 85 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The non-hookup tier gives self-contained rigs a lower rate, and 85 feet handles big coaches. Eleven cabins, lodges, and park models plus 19 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Two swimming pools and a hot tub anchor the season, with the Hayloft Lounge hosting live music and events. Sports courts, a ball field, arcade, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, a pond, dog park, recreation center, and community fire pit fill the 50 acres, with themed weekend activities from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Pets are welcome. The seasonal programming and multi-generational following are the character here — families return year after year to one of the most scenic corners of northwestern Connecticut. The season runs Memorial Day through Labor Day, with fall foliage in the Litchfield Hills extending demand. Reserve well ahead.

Kittatinny K-Camp

58 RV Sites, 13 Cabins, 270 Tent Sites

Kittatinny K-Camp in Barryville, New York, offers 58 full-hookup RV sites, 13 cabins, and 270 tent sites on the Upper Delaware, with 20 and 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 30 feet. Creekside standard, deluxe, and standard back-in categories join a beach, pond, on-site dining, and a bar in the National Park Service river corridor. Fifty-eight back-in sites run in creekside standard, deluxe, and standard categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20 and 30-amp, sized to 30 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around before booking: the 30-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern coaches, and service tops out at 30-amp. The creekside category sits along a hemlock-shaded trout stream and is the one to request. Two hundred seventy tent sites make this overwhelmingly a tent property — a scale of tent camping almost no other campground matches. Thirteen cabins round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, and portable toilets handle the practical side. A daily resort fee covers the playground, bathhouses, and on-site boating amenities. A beach and pond anchor the recreation, with the Delaware carrying canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. Walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, on-site dining, a bar, and productive birding fill the rest. Fourteen miles south of Narrowsburg, the property sits inside the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River corridor — 73 miles of one of the East's last free-flowing major rivers. Summer paddling season is the peak. Reserve well ahead.

Pine Hollow Campground

49 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Pine Hollow Campground in Pownal, Vermont, offers 49 full-hookup RV sites and three tent sites in a small scenic valley at the southwestern corner of the state, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A spring-fed stocked trout pond with paddleboat rentals and a beach anchors a genuinely traditional New England campground. Forty-nine sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, cable TV, and site WiFi. Pull-through sites are limited, so request one if the largest motorhomes need drive-through access. Three tent sites cover simpler camping. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The stocked trout pond is the centerpiece — spring-fed, with paddleboat and boat rentals, fishing, and a beach. A green meadow bordered by towering pines gives the campground its setting, with a playground, pavilion, horseshoes, shuffleboard, and picnicking filling the grounds. This is a campground rather than a destination resort, and in a region where the best sites have largely been commercialized, that character is much of the appeal. Pets are welcome. Pownal sits in Bennington County where the Berkshires extend north into Vermont's wooded hollows, less than 10 miles from both Bennington, Vermont and Williamstown, Massachusetts. Directions from the north: from the junction of Route 7 and Route 9 in Bennington, take Route 7 south 6.4 miles, left onto Barbers Pond Road 1.5 miles, right onto Old Military Road half a mile, then follow the Pine Hollow signs. Fall foliage is the peak — reserve well ahead.
