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.

Dingmans Campground

50 RV Sites, 82 Tent Sites

Dingmans Campground in Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania, offers 50 RV sites and 82 tent sites in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 50 feet.

Plan around the hookups: sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station. Accessible sites are available. Eighty-two tent sites make this a tent-first property — more tent sites than RV sites by a wide margin. A general store, dump station, restrooms, portable toilets, and firewood handle the practical side. A boat ramp and bike rentals open the Delaware for canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, swimming, and fishing. Sports courts, volleyball, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, and picnicking fill the grounds, with planned activities and genuinely productive birding. Pets are welcome. The Delaware Water Gap protects one of the most scenic river valleys in the Northeast, with waterfall hikes, clean swimming pools in the river, and Pike County's forested Pocono highlands all at hand. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Interlake RV Park & Campground

Interlake RV Park in Rhinebeck, New York, offers full-hookup RV sites with water, sewer, electric, and cable TV on a big-rig-friendly layout in the Hudson Valley, 90 miles north of New York City. A heated outdoor pool, a catch-and-release fishing pond, an arcade, and a snack bar make this a family campground rather than a highway stop, with premium WiFi throughout. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and premium WiFi, in back-in and pull-through configurations with fire pits and picnic tables. Pull-through sites are available in limited numbers, so request one at booking if you need it. The layout is big-rig friendly. A general store stocks essentials, coin laundry and a dump station handle the practical side, and a recreation center hosts community events. Check-in is 2pm and check-out 11am; nightly rates start at $50 and monthly rates at $1,050. Recreation covers a wide age range. A large heated swimming pool anchors the summer, a catch-and-release fishing pond and lake fishing serve anglers, and an arcade and recreation hall handle indoor hours. A playground, horseshoes, and picnicking areas spread across the grounds, with a snack bar and grill for on-site meals and a full calendar of planned activities. Pets are welcome. The park is accessible from both the New York State Thruway and the Taconic Parkway, and sits surrounded by Hudson Valley wine country, historic river towns, and the Catskill foothills. Boating and wine and beer tasting are close by. The park runs the Hudson Valley season, with summer families and fall foliage driving demand. Reserve ahead for October weekends, when the region fills.

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.

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.

Cozy Hills Campground

42 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 9 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Skyridge Trails Campground

3 Cabins

SkyRidge Trails Campground in Torrington, Connecticut, opened in 2024 as the newest addition to northwestern Connecticut's outdoor recreation landscape, bringing a thoughtfully designed mix of RV sites and rental cabins to the scenic hill country of Litchfield County in a setting where peaceful forests, rolling meadows, and a freshwater pond create the natural environment that defines the southern New England camping experience. As a newly constructed property, SkyRidge benefits from modern infrastructure design, purpose-built amenities, and the operational freshness that comes from a property built from the ground up with contemporary camping preferences in mind. The campground's site mix includes both full hookup RV pads and comfortable cabin rentals that provide prepared accommodations for guests who prefer not to bring their own gear, and the property's facilities include a pond, beach access, a general store for essential supplies, and golf cart rentals for exploring the campground's terrain. The activities roster is curated for multi-generational family engagement: a jumping pillow, gaga ball court, pickleball courts, and planned organized activities give children and adults alike structured options that supplement the natural recreation available in the surrounding landscape. Walking trails winding through the property's wooded and meadow terrain add a nature discovery dimension to the guest experience. Litchfield County's landscape is the most rural and topographically varied in Connecticut, where the Taconic Range and Berkshire foothills create a hilly, forested terrain unlike the coastal plain and river valley lowlands that dominate much of the state. Torrington is the county's largest city and commercial hub, providing grocery stores, fuel, and dining services within a short drive of the campground, while the surrounding countryside offers the quiet, low-development character that distinguishes northwestern Connecticut from the more densely populated I-95 and I-91 corridors. The Litchfield Hills region surrounding Torrington encompasses some of New England's most celebrated small towns, with Washington, Kent, and Litchfield itself offering antique shops, galleries, farm-to-table restaurants, and the kind of carefully preserved village character that draws urban New Yorkers and Bostonians to weekend retreats in this corner of Connecticut. Housatonic Meadows State Park and Kent Falls State Park provide hiking access to the Housatonic River gorge and one of Connecticut's most dramatic waterfall cascades within a short drive. The Appalachian Trail crosses Litchfield County through Bear Mountain and the Taconic ridges, offering day hiking access to sections of the trail with Connecticut's most significant topographic relief. SkyRidge Trails operates seasonally from spring through fall in Litchfield County's four-season climate, with summer's warmer temperatures driving peak demand for the pond swimming, pickleball, and outdoor programming that define the core experience. Fall's apple orchards, farm stands, and foliage color in the surrounding hills create compelling conditions for a second seasonal surge that attracts guests specifically interested in the New England harvest and color experience. As a new property, SkyRidge continues to refine its programming and facilities based on early guest experience, and the campground's modern infrastructure and scenic hill country position give it a strong foundation for developing into a premier northwestern Connecticut camping destination.

Susquehanna Trail and Campground

5 RV Sites

Susquehanna Trail and Campground in Oneonta, New York, offers full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, behind a gated entrance in Otsego County. An outdoor pool, playground, and general store serve family and group camping in Leatherstocking Country. Back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 50 feet on a layout that accommodates big rigs. This is a small property, so confirm availability rather than arriving on spec. A general store covers camp basics, firewood is available on site, and a dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical needs. A gated entrance controls access. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a playground for families and volleyball and horseshoes on the grounds. Fishing runs from the area, and planned activities fill the calendar through the season. The amenity set is straightforward and family-oriented, which is what the property has always been — group camping is a substantial part of the business, and the grounds are laid out for it. Oneonta sits at the Susquehanna River's confluence of branches in the rolling Otsego County countryside that James Fenimore Cooper immortalized in the Leatherstocking Tales. The county has one of the most culturally layered visitor offerings in rural New York: the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, the Glimmerglass Opera's lake-view theater, and a substantial agricultural and craft tourism scene. Directions from Albany and the east: take I-90 west to Exit 25A (I-88), I-88 west to Exit 13, turn right at the end of the ramp onto Route 205, then left onto Highway 7 at the second traffic light — the campground is half a mile down. Cooperstown's summer season drives demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

Lakeside Campground

28 RV Sites

Lakeside Campground in Windsor, New York, offers 23 full-hookup RV sites on a lake in the Southern Tier, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Small back-in, standard back-in, and pull-through categories join a beach, boat docks, and kayak rentals. Twenty-three sites run in small 30-amp back-in, 30/50-amp back-in, and 30/50-amp pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. 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. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The lake carries the recreation. A beach gives swimming access, boat docks and kayak rentals put guests on the water, and fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boats all run from the shoreline. An outdoor pool, recreation center, game room, billiards, basketball, a playground, and a pavilion fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Windsor sits in Broome County in the upper Susquehanna valley along the Pennsylvania border, where the rolling hills and clear glacial lakes of the Catskill foothills provide the backdrop. The campground draws families from the Binghamton area and weekend visitors from the New York metro corridor. Directions from I-86/Route 17: take exit 79 (Windsor) and proceed south onto Route 79 — contrary to many GPS directions, do not turn right onto Piper Hill Road after leaving town.

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.

White Pines Campsites

143 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites, 1 Yurt

White Pines Campsites in Barkhamsted, Connecticut, offers 143 RV sites, three cabins, 11 tent sites, and a yurt in Litchfield County's northwest hill country, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 44 feet. Deluxe and standard categories join an outdoor pool, beach, recreation center, craft room, and arcade. One hundred forty-three sites run in standard and deluxe categories, carrying water and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 44 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around: sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station, and the 44-foot cap rules out larger rigs. RVs are also required to be in good condition, generally within a 10-year model range, so clear older coaches with the park first. Three cabins, 11 tent sites, and a yurt round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a pond supporting boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. A recreation center, craft room, arcade, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, dog park, and snack bar fill the rest, with live music and picnicking through the season. The American Legion and Peoples State Forests surround the property, with Lake McDonough, the Saville Dam, and the Farmington River close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.
