Reviewed it in 2007 and not much has changed. I always park by pool so as not to have to fight the trees. The mini golf is getting a lot worn. However if your doing the I-84 corridor there is not much else in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Used the online map on this campgrounds website to find them as our Garmin GPS had us going an hour north east of where this KOA is located. About when you think you reach the turn-off for this, be ready to turn or you will be doing a U-turn in a gravel lot that is very uneven and lower than the paved highway. Once you get to the campground, it was very nice, easy check-in, quick WI-FI, but very few cable TV channels. Sites are a little close but this time of year was fairly quiet. Definitely stop here again as it is a great overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy registration with no escort to site, however the staff is friendly and will help if you need help, just ask. Excellent service of a dog walker while we took bus tour of NY City which we boarded at the Park. We were put in a shady spot, but if you want a sunny, satellite friendly site: best ask when making reservations. We enjoyed ourselves in this friendly, quiet (no railroads or airports or busy highway noise to interrupt sleep), easy to pull in or pull out of sites park. Plenty of trails or inner roads to walk. Large dog park surrounded by an open field. Clean showers are separate from restrooms which is nice. Also each site has a separate garbage can, so no trekking across the campground for a dumpster. And I do not give 10s to any park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here with our son, daughter-in-law and three grandchildren for five nights in August 2009. The kids loved it! The pool was clean, all of the playground, jumping pillow, bike rentals, etc. were all located in the same vicinity which makes it easier to keep track of the kids. We had a shady site with lots of mosquitos because of the wet summer. Our Wi-Fi and cable TV worked well. The staff was great: everyone was very friendly and had a smile for the kids. The fire truck ride was a huge hit. The store was well stocked. Promised our 5 year old grandson we would take him back next year for his birthday! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved this campground. Our site (#138) was wooded and tucked away yet just a short walk to the pool and office. There were a few gravel, unwooded spots up front, so you might want to call and verify what you want. Each site had a garbage can of its own: nice touch. We took the NYC tour that leaves right from the campground. It was a whirlwind tour, but very well-organized! The tour guide was so nice, even to our kids. The tour seemed a little expensive, but when you realize it covers the cost of going up in the Empire State Building, ferry rides to Liberty and Ellis Islands, and eliminates the cost and hassle of driving/parking, then I believe it is a very good deal. The campground staff was awesome. My daughter approached one staff member to ask where she could find the closest bathroom to the pool, and he gave her a personal escort in his golf cart, even waited for her and brought her back. It wasn't even that far, I think he just thought she would enjoy the ride. (She did!) It sure impressed her parents! He also scooped our ice cream and the smalls were so big that they barely fit into the dish. We hired the dog walker while we were on the NYC tour. They walked the dogs and even checked in to make sure the A/C had not stopped working. 100% of the fees they collect for dog walking go directly into the KOA cancer camp donation tube. I was so impressed by this! The pancakes had so many blueberries in them that I believe they lost money on me that morning! These small details made our stay here very memorable and positive. If you need a grocery store, ask the desk for directions to Hannaford's: it is new and did not come up on my GPS. We would definitely love to come back to this lovely campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is our favorite CG within one hundred miles of home. 5th or 6th time here. G'kids really like it. Plenty of activities included and special activities are rea$onable. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I have had reservation problems twice, when reserving through their website. Next time I'll bring up the website and phone in my booking direct.
Something you should know if you don't know the area: They bill themselves as Newburgh/New York City North. It's not really in Newburgh and it's not near NYC: GoogleMap it and see. You won't want to be driving to-n-fro several days in a row to go sightseeing. I live 30 miles from NYC and go to Newburgh KOA for weekend get-aways. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the nicest KOA's we have stayed in. The sites are large and private. Since there is a large trash can at each site, this makes for a very clean park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very disappointed with this KOA. First, water pressure was between 20 & 40 psi at the spigots. Not enough to take a shower in our rig. Had to fill fresh water tank and use our auxiliary pump to shower. When inquired about the maintenance department said I had something wrong with my rig. They did not know the difference between water flow and water pressure. Nothing wrong with my trailer water system. All I got was lip service from management, many folks were complaining about water. Second: Cable TV was not really cable, simply sat TV fed to sites by cable. I had about 7 channels that I could barely see. Had to resort to using DVD exclusively. Third: No control of kids throughout the park. Kids running everywhere, in and out of sites and in front of moving vehicles. Much unneeded underbrush contributing to an abundance of mosquitoes. On the positive side the dog walking service was great as was the tour of NYC, albeit a little costly, $99. per person, a good tour nonetheless. Carol was very nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground has many good wooded campsites, but the ones between the pool and office are just like a gravel parking lot. The pull through spots were divided by trees, and are the nicest pull throughs I have ever seen. Spots 50, 51, 52 are extremely close together and would be good for several camping families together, but not very nice for individual families. They charge an extra five dollars per child per day which at the price of the campsites I think is disgraceful. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We called in advance, and asked if WIFI was available throughout the park, the answer was yes, however, when you get there it isn't, which is very irritating. The bathrooms were disgusting, very dirty, not enough toilets for the size of the park and the showers were so full of hair and dirt. When a lot of people use the toilets (pressure toilets) they wouldn't even flush because the water pressure is so low. We are in the dog days of summer, division races are hot and heavy, so what does Kamgrounds of America offer on Cable TV????? English Soccer, I mean how exciting is that. That aside though, when you ask the "teenagers" at the front desk a question, they get the "deer in the headlight look, and they have smart remarks. Our site was nice, but on Saturday night, site R10 had at least 10 cars visiting and took the whole space where rv's need to turn around. This is the 1st place we have been where that many cars were allowed to visit. The poor guy who came in late,(the front desk sent them to the wrong site) had a devil of a time turning around. Was anyone in control? We will not stay here again even though we hold a KOA VIP card. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I camped here for a few weeks and was given a daily price that is a bit less then most others who have reviewed this KOA. I think that this is about the best campground we have been at. The staff is great (and they are all over the place). It is a campground that has everything from two swimming pools, huge kids areas, pet areas and lots to do. During 4th of July week-end the KOA was completely full so the bathrooms and showers got a workout and still they managed to keep them fairly clean. There were a couple of times when they were overwhelmed and need several cleanings per day and the staff responded. We loved this place and really enjoyed our entire stay.

I, too, think that it is a very pricey campground! The staff were very pleasant upon check-in and throughout our stay. The pancake breakfast was very good!! Our site was very level and quite spacious. We were in the "R" section. The amenities were good also. Very clean campground. Would have liked to rent the bicycles but there was an extra cost for them too!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is one of only 3 I could find within commuting (drivng or train) distance to NYC....This park has lot's of amenities for kids. When I called for reservations, they told me no pull throughs. Most portions of the park are heavily treed. When I got here, the site they gave me was down a very narrow and curvy inner road, heavily treed, and very difficult to navigate with my 40' MH. It was anything but easy backing in because of a tree on the passenger side of the road, after finally backing in, discovered it was only 30amp, even though I specified 50 amp when I made the reservation....they then moved me to a wide open area out of the tree's with easy back-in and 50amp. That site was fine...the park is quiet and very well maintained. They offer 10 or 11 cable stations (satellite won't work, even though we weren't in the tree's, we were surrounded by them) and from where we were in the park, the free wifi was problematic...it worked sometimes, and didn't sometimes. Considering limited RV park choices, I wouldn't say the price is way high, but it's as much as we have paid during 3 months on the road.....but then it's NY!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the best KOAs we have found, BUT for $58.50 a night (after KOA member discount, we did not expect an additional $3 pp resort/activity fee, we would expect more than 11 TV channels, and we would expect free wi-fi. We were visiting friends and did not use the “activities.” Some CG charge for miniature golf or the pool, but this one charges even if you do not use them. The interior roads were filled with potholes while the staff was planting flowers. We have been full-timing from the Atlantic to the Gulf to the Pacific for 2.5 years and this CG has earned the “most expensive while offering the least CG so far” award. We will NOT be back. There is a Wal-Mart not very far away. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really loved this campground and extended our stay to take advantage of the bus tour offered from the park into New York City, which was fabulous. The park is beautiful. The sites are spacious, private, perfect. There are lots of kid friendly activities. Lots of showers and laundry facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside is the cost but we would camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground is in great location and provides tours to New York City for those who want to visit. The campground is comfortable and provides many events. My biggest issue is price. I feel that they are overpriced compared to other locations. My wife likes it so we continue to go. (Obviously she is not paying the fees!) We would return again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Typical, overpriced, over amenitied KOA in nice wooded area. Best thing going for it was the NYC tour. It was great. I paid $16 for the blandest brisket sandwich ever in Times Square. I suppose that beat the $10 hot dog from a vendor that didn't compare to a $1.29 dog at an Arco gas station. I'm also glad I didn't have to pay the $20 an hour parking. Take the tour; it's well worth the experience. I will never go again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is in Plattekill not Newburgh and is 65 miles from NY City. Definitely NOT big rig friendly. The road to the park is very narrow, and the roads and sites in the park are tight and impossible to navigate without hitting tree branches. The wifi is a joke. Over priced.

We were in a large fifth wheel. The in and out routes for the sites were heavily wooded and pretty tight! The sites were so heavily wooded that sites were densely shaded and satellite was impossible. They do have a 12 cable selections. Some standing water seemed to encourage mosquitoes. Our big concern was that we received repeated low voltage alarms on our sensor, even in the middle of the night. We were on 30 amp. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Pros: Lots of activities for the kids, including 2 pools, jumping pillow, mini-golf, fishing (catch & release), biking. Site was large enough to afford some privacy. Cable TV, although only about a dozen channels. Good WiFi signal at our location. Bus tour to NYC was nice, although in order to see all the sites, it is a very rushed experience. Daily garbage pick up at each site. Showers and restrooms were clean. Cons: There is an additional charge for several of the activities, including the jumping pillow and mini-golf. The fish pond was covered in algae, which made fishing difficult. Overall, a very nice park with lots to do. The extra charges do seem excessive though, and slightly detracts from the experience. We would return here for an extended stay if ever in the area again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

First of all, this park advertises that they are in Newburgh. They are actually 25 minutes north of Newburgh. Very much so out of the way and not close to anything. Expensive. Don't mind paying a premium price, but here, we paid a premium price for nothing. The site we had was spacious. The site itself was nice. But there was a horrible sewer odor everyday. They also had daily parties or events for "outside people" not staying in the park. My guess is they rented the property for birthday parties and other events. The problem with this is, we had to deal with tons of cars, loud music and a lot of folks (that are not staying in the park) wandering around. It became disruptive. Overall, we were pretty disappointed. Ended up moving the RV an hour south - just couldn't take the smell and noise anymore. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The Newburgh KOA is actually in Plattekill NY , north of Newburgh, close to Poughkeepsie and almost to New Paltz. This, by the way, is good if you’re visiting any of the Hudson Valley Schools or attractions. New York City is a long way away, but there’s not any camping much closer. Having been born and grown up in the immediate area, trips back are enigmatic. The area has always just been of the verge of a renaissance, but never quite gets there. After tearing down half the city of Newburgh, the river-front has staged a revival and I’d highly recommend an evening trip there. Also cruises are available. I’d love to go back and do the Bannermans’s Island trip. Growing up 50 years ago it was a forbidden place of extreme mystery. The KOA facilities are very extensive, pool, jumping pillow, fishing, miniature golf. The sites are large and mostly private. Some open sites are available for those with dishes. Wireless was a bit slow and erratic, but worked ok most of the time. We would return We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice, quiet park. You park on gravel but the sites are flat. Many sites are in the trees but they also have a section that is open if you need it for your satellite. They were repaving the access road and area around the office while we were there. We were hoping that they would do the camp loops and (wishful thinking) the parking pads but that didn't happen. This isn't specific to this campground but I sure wish that the campgrounds would not charge full rates when they don't have all their services available (such as swimming pool). Anyway, this is a nice park and we already have reservations to go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We spent 4 days at this campground and we couldn't have been happier. This was our first time staying at a KOA, so hopefully they all will be just as good. The staff was super friendly all weekend long. The facilities were awesome. The showers and restrooms were always super clean. Having a trashcan at each campsite was extremely convenient. The store was pretty big, and extremely well stocked. The TV/Computer room was a huge help (we camped with twin 2 1/2 year olds). The playground was big, the kids at the campground loved the jumping pillow (inflatable trampoline thing), the sites had some trees between them, the sites had gravel on them which made them extremely level. We couldn't say enough about the place, next time we want to go up there, we will go back to this camp site. We were there for the Orange County Choppers Grand Opening, and the staff was great with directions and information. We had a great time on our trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our pull-thru sites were long, level, graveled and not very wide because of trees. Good water pressure and voltage. Our area had lots of trees, but some areas are open. Staff was nice, but pretty stretched out because of the off season. Had to move to a different site after several days so a VIP could have our site. They showed up as we were leaving, so reservation system could be better. It's a 20 minute drive to Beacon Sta. and a 1.5 hour train ride down the Hudson River to NYC. We were there during Halloween and other campers seemed comfortable letting kids trick or treat. We will be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed in the woods portion in the park. Quiet, wide, well laid out park with tree buffers between sites. Water pressure, voltage and sewer hookup was fine. WiFi was weak and you have to subscribe. Roads are paved and had tight turns, but OK. Staff was friendly, but we had to move for a VIP camper after a few days. Used this location to go to NYC.

A typical KOA in the woods. Staff was friendly. My complaint with the campground is reservations. We requested a site that had satellite (DirecTV) access. We were assured that they had one for us.

We stayed here for two nights. Like others have stated, there is not a lot of room getting into or out of the sites in the wooded areas. Low hanging branches are a problem. The width between sites is adequate. The amount of poison ivy here is staggering and should be addressed. The main bathroom (attached to the office) was dirty most of the time, the one near our site was nice. The kids enjoyed the two pools and rode bikes most of the time. There is only one other campground near this place, so sites can get limited in this region of NY State. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had a pull through site that was adequate however there were a lot of low hanging tree branches that scraped the roof the MH on our way into the back part of the campground. These low hanging branches need to be cut all over the park and over the access roads. Two of the dryers and two of the washers were broken the entire time we were there. Also, you had to go to the main office to get quarters to use the machines. I suggested they put in a dollar change machine in the laundry room however the staff didn't seem too thrilled by the idea. I'm sure there are other nice parks in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park itself was relatively clean and is close to New York City (about a hour away). However, we made reservations for two sites 3 months in advance of our arrival only to find that we were bumped off the required 50 amp sites and put on a 30 amp sites. The staff of high schoolers was not able to handle the situation and basically said there was nothing they could do. By the way the travel trailers that were in our original spots only needed 30 amp svc. The laundry facilities were decent but would have been better if the machines didn't blow the breakers every 15 minutes. Took 2 hours to wash a load of cloths. We would probably stay here again but only for the location. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is not right in NYC, but that is fine with us. Hate city driving. The park itself is very nice and clean. We are a 40' MH with 4 slides and had no problem. We had a nice private pull-thru with space to spare (space 60). The office is very friendly and helpful. Spaces have a table and grill and fire pit. They do have a real nice tour right from the campground. It will take all day but you get to see quite a lot. Comfortable bus with nice seats and AC. Park is a little pricey, but everything so far along the East Coast has been. It is really nice to have a tour bus right from camp. Lets you enjoy the visit instead of fighting traffic. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites were large and private with gravel and relatively level. Although there was a limit to two dogs per site, the site next door had 3 very large dogs on it, one of which growled and barked at me every time I came out of my trailer. Very busy campground with lots of one night campers. Staff was polite and grounds were kept neat. Camp sites were a mess on Monday morning but by the time that we left at 10 am all the litter had been cleaned up. Each campsite had their own garbage can and it was emptied every day. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were very impressed with this campground. Very neat and clean. Road getting into campground is in good shape. Very nice landscaping and pond at the registration area. The young man that registered us was either new (in Sept) or just not sure how to check for sites. He first told us he did not have anything except for the "overflow" area because they had a rally. We really did not want that area and finally got him to give us a few sites we could take a look at to see if our MH would fit. We found a # of them and were able to get a nice site. I think he assumed we wanted a pull thru and that would have been nice but not needed. Although we only spent 2 nights here, we were very impressed. This is definitely one of the best KOA's we have ever stayed at. Did feel, as always with KOA's, rates are steep for that time of year but have stayed in many worse KOA's for about that. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have camped here before, and really like the beauty of the park. (This was 8-9 years ago). We've never had problems with reservations.....until now. I had made reservations for our trip 4 months prior, and made the reservation over the phone. I told the young lady on the phone we needed a pull-thru with full hookups and 30 amp service. When we got there, we ended up with a back in with 50 amp service, and were charged for a "premium" site. I showed the "child" at the counter the confirmation we got from them, stating that we were to get a pull-thru/30amp/FHU, and he said that the online reservation service has problems, and "defaults" you to other sites. I told him I spoke to someone over the phone to make the reservations, and did not use the internet, but to no avail. We later spoke to the gentleman across the street from us, and he indicated that for an extra $10 (non-KOA fee?), you can reserve a specific site. I'm sure someone is pocketting that extra fee. There is limited cable here (there were more channels in years past) and no wifi (rediculous for such a pricey campground). Unfortunately, there aren't many campgrounds in the area, so they don't have much competition. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a tale of two campgrounds. On the one side are very large, private sites which are very nice. Too bad so many of them are full of seasonals. The other side is a large gravel parking lot they call the "rally field". We were in the rally field during a rain storm and our site was flooded by about 15 inches of water. The rally field is not worth the money. Cable is very limited, at times the water pressure was very low. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stay at the Newburgh KOA a couple of times a season, most recently in the beginning of July. Usually we are in the wooded sites which we like. This time we were in the gravel area near the store/office. It wasn't so bad, but less private. The staff was very friendly as they always are. We had no fire ring when we arrived, but one was brought to us promptly when we asked. There are usually some kind of activities going on there. There was a flea market going on that weekend on the premises, which was different. There also was a Native American demonstration with songs and storytelling, which was interesting. The daily firetruck rides seem very popular. One of my son's favorite things to do is follow the firetruck through the campground on his bike (a a lot of other kids do). The pools were clean and a nice temperature. The pond is always a highlight for my son who loves to search for frogs. The snack bar is right near the pool and they have all kinds of treats reasonably priced. The kids love the banana bike rentals. The arcade is kind of small and the machines are probably a bit outdated, but there is enough to do for a little while and I don't encourage the kid to spend too much time (or money!) in there. KOAs in general are very pet friendly and we find most people comply as far as picking up after their pets. The cable reception never seems to be great, but we don't go camping to watch tv, so that's the least of our worries. The store is well stocked with groceries, rv supplies, sundries, gifts and candy for the kids. We like this campground very much and always go back when we need a quick weekend getaway as it is only an hour from our home. We camped here in a Motorhome.

To say this campground is near NYC is a joke. It allows them to charge you more than its worth. We came in late in the evening with a reservation but they did not hold the 50 amp site we were promised and paid for in advance. I climbed out of the RV and walked freely around without anybody stopping me. No night staff or security. They lease the facility out to a local day camp so a bunch of unruly kids take over the facility. No senior staff member on site as the only personnel I dealt with just started shaving. They did compensate me for not holding my site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Made reservations on May 1st for 4th of July weekend. We have stayed here before so I explained the site we would like to have. When we arrived and saw the site, which was in the midst of tents, cabins and the view from the back of the sight was the store/laundry/bathroom. A tree was cut down that would have prohibited us to pull down road. Still the roadway was very tight and trees along roadway would have been very difficult to maneuver a 34' motorhome into. Huge black mark on KOA record. Didn't like the site or view, demanded a refund, looked at our Woodall's and found a great campground west of them. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have stayed at this campground MANY times, in Cabins, Pop-Ups & our new Travel Trailer. I have always found the staff to be very helpful, the bathrooms clean and the campsites well maintained. It's a great campground for 3-4 day visits to see the surrounding area. Tours to NYC are also offered. There are two sections; one with large and level pull throughs for larger units and another, more hilly section with back in and tent sites. The two pools were always clean and well taken care of. Several of the showers in the pull thru section were recently remodeled. Rumor has it that they are planning on expanding. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed in this campground a month, using it as a base for visiting NYC. It is actually too far for this, the trip requiring about 2 hours each way by the time you drive to the commuter train station and ride the train. We have since found a better campground for these city trips. During our stay, week-days were pleasant. However, on week-ends the campground turned into party city. Locals gathered every week-end and sat around big fires talking and playing radios until well past quiet time (10 PM). One group of young men (underage in NY) were completely drunk and disorderly until after 2 AM. When I reported this to management the next day, they said they had asked them to leave, but they had returned after the guard left (10 PM). The managment made no effort to enforce quiet time and I suspect was reluctant to lose this source of steady income for those campers just passing through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Park was open only a week on our arrival, but campground was in good shape, store well stocked, grounds neat. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Back-in and pull-through sites are wide, allowing use of both awnings and slides. The roads are a bit narrow, making the backing in of vehicles a bit of a challenge; motorhomes OK, but I assume that 5th-wheelers and TT's would have difficulty. Big rigs should check on pull-through availability. Nice campground pretty close to the Big Apple. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As with many KOAs around the area, this one is no different. It was comfortable, clean and full of activities / amenities. However, expansion efforts have been noted at this campground. We found ourselves camping about 5 feet away from the next site. Sites are literally on top of each other, we could hear the gentleman snoring next door. There is limited access to the 'prime' shaded sites; there is an open field for the larger rigs but who wants to live in an open field!! I would visit here again, but only because it is 10 miles down the road from the house. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice campground. Tour to NYC was led by a great tour guide and a friendly competent bus driver, but time was drastically cut at the Empire State Building to less than 1/2 hour (takes longer than that to get in). Time at Statue of Liberty was extremely short also. No time to do anything but briskly walk around it. I would rather get back to the campground later (say 8 pm or so) instead of at 6 pm and miss the big stuff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Just got back from a vacation that took us to 6 different campgrounds - this one was the best! We arrived after dark and as we were trying to back the trailer in someone from the campground came (with flashlight and lights from golfcart) and helped direct us. The staff were very friendly and helpful right from registration, store purchases, and booking our tour into NYC. The main reason I chose this campground was because of the tour into New York City. It was the highlight of our trip and well worth the money. If you plan to stay here and take the tour, I would recommend planning on returning to NYC on the "return trip for $30" the next day, there is way too much to see in one day. Our campsite was very nice and large (#49) and surrounded by trees so there was a lot of privacy. Restrooms were very clean and the showers were actually individual rooms. Laundry room also was clean and machines well maintained. Another highlight was that this was close to "Orange County Choppers" which the boys loved! We will definitely return to this campground if in the area again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park is some distance from Newburgh on narrow back roads. Usual KOA problem with not having the type of site requested, even though they had charged deposit for it weeks earlier. After complaining to manager, they decided they did have a pull through site, but said this would just cause a trickle down problem and someone else would not get the type of site they had requested. At the time reservation was made, there was no disclaimer as to reservations not guaranteeing a site. I do not understand why they have a reservation system if it does not reserve a site. You will need a water filter, unless you get site with premium water. Park is very nice although sites are very tight. Nice area for kids. Will not stay here again unless desperate.

This is a very nice campground with nice interior roads. A little tight but not bad, we were able to manuever our 36' 5th wheel okay but the park was not crowded either. The amenities; such as pool and things for kids were very nice. I gave this park an 8 because of their reservation system. We reserved a pull through site 2 months in advance and were told we would have it. But when we got to the park it was not available. We were told that it was because of the reservation system. It must have been centralized or something; they were not clear on that. That was the downfall for us on this park as we needed enough space to unload from the back. Now I see on their website that they will not guarantee a pull through. Which at least they tell you that now up front. But we would probably try it again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A great place to stay when in the NYC area. It was noted buy another camper that there are alot of children on bicycles and scooters. That is correct. I would rather be in a place where there are a lot of children riding bicycles than "big old" seasonals in golf carts. Kids ride bicycles! It's a normal thing. The problem this past weekend with the cable was reported to the office (me included) and was fixed by Saturday morning. There are insects...short of camping in the North Pole in June I don't know where you wont find insects! This is a great campground as is evidenced by the other reviews. Funny thing is just 3 miles further down the road is the Shady Grove Rest Home. I think the earlier reviewer stopped at the wrong place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you enjoy children running amock on bikes, scooters, etc..., yelling and screaming, then this is your kind of place. Leave your satellite dish down, unless you get one or two plum locations. Unfortunately, their cable system has lousy reception and only a few channels. Be sure to tell the office how long you are and that you need a big site, if that is the case. They put us in one we could barely squeeze our 33 ft. 5W into. Yes, it was getting dark when we parked, but it was arguably one of the most difficult places to squeeze into we have encountered in several years. Mosquitos were everywhere. We had hoped for wireless internet because one poster on here had said it was available, but it was not; however, we did find access a few miles away at a library. I would recommend if you are planning on staying here for NYC visits, to go on to Liberty Harbor. No trees, but few screaming children and very convenient to the city.

This campground was great for my kids, (9, 6, and 4), who all enjoyed the amenities – including the arts and crafts, fire truck rides, game room, mini-golf, fishing pond, and the freezing cold pools. (We camped on Memorial Day weekend, and while we were lucky enough to have nice weather, those pools were cold!!) I was not happy with the site that I was assigned, and since they were booked up for the weekend, the location could not be changed. I was basically in a open parking lot, and we had a small pop-up among the rows of highly sophisticated RVs. (We called it the millionaires’ row!) There were much better sites, with trees for shade, and some feeling of camaraderie between the campers – alas – they were not to be for my family this time. I couldn’t escape the feeling that this was like camping in the city. There were actually street lights on at night, which did help guide my way to the restrooms, but also obstructed my view of the stars at night. A plus for some, a negative for others. A few positives – on site garbage pickup, very nice and I appreciated the private showers. The store had lots of cool gadgets, and was not unreasonably priced. The restrooms started out clean, but by the early evening, they could have been cleaned again. The paper towels and soap dispensers were depleted often. All and all, a nice place for the kids, and I would return if I could be guaranteed the type of site that I was hoping for. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Very clean and well kept CG. Sites were not huge but most were well laid out, level, with privacy. Friendly staff with nice store. Sometimes KOA's get a bad rap but I thought this was a nice place. The only negative that I can report was a dismal cable offering. There were no more that 5 or 6 cable stations that were available. I never asked whether there was something wrong with my cable or if that was the norm. Had an off-season rate so it might be a bit pricy there but it is New York, not too far from the Big Apple so perhaps it's not that unreasobanle. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here because we had a karate tournament in the area and it was a rainy weekend, so we couldn't enjoy the campground as much as we could have. It was very clean and staff very nice. Store is well stocked and they have a nice size gameroom. There are two pools (which of course weren't opened yet), minigolf, shuffle board, basketball, and a fishingpond. They also have a TV lounge with Modem hook-ups. Nice and shady sites, with gravel....which is geat on rainy days!! Also heard they will be expanding in the future. Overall a nice campground. Will definately go back when the weather is nicer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We enjoyed this campground very much. Site was very level and shaded. We spent lots of time at the playground which was was nice. Baby swing was a bit dangerous as it had no strap that fits between the legs. Garbage can, picnic table provided on each site. Everything was clean. Staff was helpful. By far the favorite part for my son was the free ride on an old firetruck. I think we will head back here if ever in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
