The small back-in category is a useful option for compact trailers that would otherwise pay for space they do not need. Trailer rentals serve guests without a rig.

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

In the foothills of New York's Catskill Mountains in Ulster County, Sun Retreats Birchwood Acres delivers a resort camping experience built around a private four-acre lake, an interactive water zone, two pools, and an activity calendar that runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day with barely a gap. Located at 85 Martinfeld Road in Greenfield Park—a small community in the rolling wooded landscape between the Hudson Valley and the Catskill high peaks—the resort sits within the reach of New York City weekenders and destination travelers alike, offering an amenity-rich alternative to the more rustic camping that defines much of the Catskill region. The result is a campground that functions as its own destination rather than just a base. Full hookup RV sites, tent camping, and deluxe two-bedroom cottages with full kitchens and screened porches accommodate the full spectrum of guest preferences. The four-acre lake with fishing docks and paddleboat rentals provides quiet water recreation, while the interactive Water Zone, outdoor swimming pool, and extensive sports facilities—tennis, basketball, volleyball, bocce, gaga ball, shuffleboard, handball, and human foosball—create an activity-dense environment particularly well suited for families with children. An arcade-inspired game room, laser tag, golf cart rentals, planned activities like arts and crafts and Bingo, and live entertainment throughout the season round out what is genuinely an impressive amenity lineup for a private campground. Greenfield Park occupies the transition zone between the Hudson Valley's softer topography and the more dramatic terrain of the Catskill Mountains to the west and north, where the glacially carved peaks rise to over 4,000 feet and define one of the most distinctive landscapes in the eastern United States. The surrounding Catskill Park encompasses more than 700,000 acres of state land with hundreds of miles of hiking trails, trout streams, and swimming holes. The resort's own wooded setting provides the natural backdrop—birches, oaks, and maples creating the canopy that gave the original campground its name. The Catskill region offers outdoor recreation at every level: day hikes to summit views on Slide Mountain and Hunter Mountain, Class III whitewater on the Esopus Creek, trout fishing in the legendary Willowemoc and Beaverkill rivers that define the American fly fishing tradition, and the summer stock theater of the Woodstock and Hudson Valley arts scenes. Kaaterskill Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in the northeastern United States, is accessible via a popular day hike that showcases the Catskills' dramatic topography. The Hudson Valley wine country and the historic village of Woodstock add cultural dimensions to the outdoor recreation menu. Summer season at Sun Retreats Birchwood Acres runs May through September, with July and August at absolute peak capacity—reservations many weeks in advance are essential for summer weekends. The fall foliage season in October attracts a second wave of visitors who come specifically for the color show that the Catskills reliably deliver. Weekend rates at the resort reflect its popularity; midweek stays offer better value for flexible travelers. Book your site or cottage at Sun Retreats Birchwood Acres and let the Catskill foothills and the four-acre lake set the scene for a genuinely fun and activity-rich camping experience.

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.

Walking trails, a dog park, community fire pit, and golf cart rentals round it out. On-site dining covers meals. Pets are welcome.

Summer is the peak by a wide margin. Book well ahead for July and August weekends.

Wake in the Woods Aquapark & Campground

Wake in the Woods Aquapark & Campground in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania, offers camping and cabin rentals on a private seven-acre lake with an inflatable aqua park on the water, behind a gated entrance in the Pocono Mountains. Boat docks, boat rentals, a bar, and food trucks serve families and group events on historic Lake Genero. Tent sites and cabin rentals make up the accommodations, with corporate retreat and group event infrastructure on site. A general store, boutique shop, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout and a gated entrance controlling access. The inflatable aqua park is the signature. These are large floating structures with water slides, obstacles, and climbing features, designed to give swimmers a safe, genuinely demanding play area on open water — considerably more engaging than a pool, and the reason most families book. Boat docks, boat rentals, swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and boating fill out the water recreation, with sports courts, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, and community fire pit on land. A bar and visiting food trucks handle evenings, and the property also serves as a wedding venue. Stargazing and birding are strong across the forested acreage. Pets are welcome. Lake Ariel sits in Wayne County in the northeastern Pennsylvania lake district, where private lakes, state forest land, and ridge-and-valley terrain built the Pocono resort region's identity for Philadelphians from the nineteenth century onward. Summer is decisively the season for the aqua park. Reserve well ahead.

Bass Lake Resort

14 RV Sites

Bass Lake Resort in Parish, New York, provides a family-oriented lakefront camping resort on a private lake in Oswego County's Great Lakes agricultural fringe, offering a complete resort recreation package of mini-golf, pool, boat docks, ball field, shuffleboard, and planned activities in a central New York lake setting approximately 10 miles inland from Lake Ontario's southern shore. The resort's private lake—insulated from motorized boat traffic and the wave action that Ontario shoreline camping produces—provides the calm-water swimming, kayaking, and small-boat recreation environment that families with young children and first-time lake campers find most comfortable and enjoyable in a campground that feels genuinely resort-like despite its upstate New York small-town surroundings. The resort's facilities cover the full family camping recreation spectrum: full hookup sites, an outdoor pool, mini-golf, a ball field, boat docks for guest watercraft, boating and canoeing and kayaking on the private lake, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, a playground, pavilion, dog park, clubhouse, laundry, showers, bathrooms, dump station, and Wi-Fi create organized recreation capacity across diverse activity preferences. The private lake's protected swimming environment and the shore fishing for bass, crappie, and panfish that a stocked inland lake reliably produces round out the water recreation options for the resort's core family demographic. Planned activities and supervised events for children make the resort's social calendar active through the summer season. Parish sits in Oswego County's transition between the Tug Hill Plateau's northern escarpment and the Lake Ontario plain, a quiet agricultural community in the interior of one of New York's most scenically understated regions where apple orchards, dairy farms, and the waterfall-laced streams descending from the Tug Hill create a rural landscape character entirely different from the Adirondacks' tourist infrastructure 60 miles to the east. The surrounding Oswego County terrain's trout streams, the Great Lake salmon fishing in Salmon River—one of the most prolific fall salmon rivers on the Great Lakes—and the Lake Ontario charter fishing operations based in Pulaski collectively provide adult outdoor recreation of national significance within an hour's drive of the resort. Selkirk Shores State Park on Lake Ontario's shoreline approximately 20 miles west provides access to the Great Lake's dramatic shoreline bluff environment and the steelhead and brown trout surf fishing that Lake Ontario's tributary streams support in spring and fall. The Salmon River Reservoir north of Pulaski and the Tug Hill Plateau's vast state forest lands create backcountry hiking and wildlife watching opportunities in the ruffed grouse, wild turkey, and black bear habitat that the plateau's remote beech-maple forest preserves in an area of New York that receives less tourist attention than the Adirondack and Finger Lakes corridors but delivers genuine Upstate wilderness character. Bass Lake Resort operates seasonally from spring through fall in Oswego County's four-season Great Lakes climate, where the Lake Ontario snow belt's heavy winter snowpack eventually yields to the genuine summer warmth that fills the pool and private lake with swimmers from late June through Labor Day. The Tug Hill's snow shadow creates microclimatic conditions that can extend the Oswego County spring into late June and return fall colors by late September, and the resort's private lake environment provides the family camping experience that appeals to repeat seasonal campers who prefer the intimate small-lake atmosphere over the more complex and crowded shoreline campgrounds that Lake Ontario's recreational fishing communities attract.

A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side.

Directions from the south: take Exit 15 north off I-87, turn right, and follow NY-50 for eight miles — the park is on the left. The July and August racing meet is the sharpest demand spike of the year and fills lodging across the entire Capital Region. Reserve as early as you can if your stay overlaps it.
