  • Jonathan H.

    I recently went to this campground with a group of 12 friends and had a remarkable weekend. Our campsite was right along the beautiful river equipped with a fire pit, picnic table, and plenty of space for our cars and tents.

  • Amy M.

    I was introduced to this campground 4 years ago and it has become my "happy place". No other campground will ever compare. All of the stress exits your body the second you enter and you won't want to leave. Packing up the day you have to leave will leave you longing for your next trip back!

  • Jason G.

    We love this campground! It's in the banks of the Esopus creek which provides fishing, swimming for our dog and scenic place to sit by a campfire at night and watch the moon. The place itself and its proximity to the town of Phoenicia make it a perfect low key place to camp and relax.

  • Anthony T.

    Absolutely perfect camp ground for those looking to get in touch with nature. The creek is the highlight of every trip I take there, and it's sounds are amazing to fall asleep to. I've been going every year for 8 consecutive years.

  • Tamara D.

    The location is great - not too far in the wilderness, just close enough to the gorgeous creek, and a 5 minute walk to the town center. The setting is beautiful, and a property owner that actually cares - always makes a difference.

  • Amanda P.

    I really liked this place because of the proximity to the touristy areas which were all within walking distance including restaurants, shopping and tubing. I saw many more black bears that weekend but all from a safe distance.

  • Ernest L.

    I came here last year for a weekend of camping before Warrior Dash at Windham Mountain. There is a nice creek that wraps around the back of the property. Sites are average sized and we had 10 people.
