HTR Adirondacks Campground

51 RV Sites, 18 Cabins, 20 Tent Sites, 1 Glamping Site

HTR Adirondacks Campground in Old Forge, New York, offers 51 RV sites, 18 cabins, 20 tent sites, and a glamping site at the gateway to the Adirondack Park's southwestern wilderness, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, behind a gated entrance. Waterfront and waterview back-in categories join 50-amp and water-and-electric tiers, with a pool, beach, and tennis. Fifty-one sites span back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 50-amp, pull-thru 30-amp water-and-electric, waterfront back-in 30-amp, waterfront back-in 50-amp, and waterview categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The waterfront categories are worth requesting early; confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric options do not carry sewer. Eighteen cabins, 20 tent sites, and a glamping site round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, recycling, and on-site dining handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing on the water. Sports courts, tennis, pickleball, basketball, walking trails, and a playground fill the grounds, with strong birding and stargazing besides. The Fulton Chain of Lakes' eight interconnected waters make Old Forge one of the Adirondacks' most beloved four-season communities. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

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.

One hundred forty cabins, cottages, houses, and lodges cover every lodging format, and 19 tent sites serve simpler camping.

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.

Skyline RV Resort

45 RV Sites

Skyline RV Resort in Darien Center, New York, occupies a position in western New York that puts guests within easy reach of some of the region's strongest attractions — including Six Flags Darien Lake directly nearby, Niagara Falls to the northwest, and Letchworth State Park's dramatic Genesee River gorge to the southeast — while delivering a well-equipped, lakeside campground experience that functions equally as a destination in its own right. The resort's full-hookup sites, two heated pools, and extensive event facilities make it as appealing for families who never leave the property as for those who use it as a staging base for the surrounding region. Full-hookup RV sites with spacious pads accommodate large rigs across the property, with the waterfront location adding a distinctive natural character to an otherwise well-programmed family resort. Two heated swimming pools serve guests through the warm-weather season, covered cornhole courts and an expansive event center provide structured activity space in any weather, and a snack bar, playground, sports courts, and clubhouse fill out a comprehensive amenity lineup. Propane exchange and Wi-Fi throughout make practical needs simple, and the overall infrastructure reflects a resort built to sustain families through multi-day stays with programming variety that reduces the "what do we do now?" friction of family camping. Pets are welcome throughout. The Genesee Country landscape of western New York surrounds the resort with agricultural beauty — rolling farmland, hardwood woodlots, and the characterful terrain of a region that was once the frontier of western New York settlement and has retained a quieter, more pastoral character than the Great Lakes cities further north. Darien Center's position between the Erie Canal corridor and the Finger Lakes wine country places it in a varied landscape with more to explore on multi-day itineraries than most guests initially anticipate. Six Flags Darien Lake, effectively adjacent to the resort, is western New York's largest amusement park with coasters, a waterpark, and the Darien Lake Amphitheater hosting major touring concerts and events through the summer — a combination that makes the resort particularly convenient for families with concert or amusement park plans. Letchworth State Park, about 30 miles south, protects 17 miles of the Genesee River gorge in terrain often called the "Grand Canyon of the East" — the three major waterfalls and canyon overlooks are among the most dramatic natural scenery in the Northeast. Niagara Falls and Buffalo's cultural institutions, about 45 miles northwest, round out a day-trip roster that gives the Darien Center location more regional drawing power than first glance suggests. Skyline RV Resort operates through the New York outdoor season from spring through fall, with summer peak weeks driven largely by Six Flags Darien Lake's operating season and the Darien Lake Amphitheater's concert calendar. Reserve early for concert weekends and the July-August peak, when the combination of pool, nearby amusement park, and the resort's own activity programming keeps it at or near capacity.

Wolf's Den Family Campground

41 RV Sites

Wolf's Den Family Campground in East Haddam, Connecticut, offers 41 full-hookup RV sites behind a gated entrance in the Connecticut River Valley, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. An outdoor pool, mini-golf, pickleball, tennis, and a recreation center anchor one of the more thoroughly programmed family campgrounds in Middlesex County. Forty-one back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, and recycling is available on site. The recreation roster is extensive. An outdoor pool anchors the summer with inflatable water toys, and mini-golf, a game room with arcade, and a recreation center cover other hours. Pickleball, tennis, bocce ball, shuffleboard, basketball, volleyball, gaga ball, and horseshoes spread across the grounds, with a ball field, playground, and pavilion besides. A pond and creek on the property support fishing, and biking runs from camp. Planned activities run through the season, and a gated entrance controls access. Pets are welcome. East Haddam sits on the Connecticut River at the base of Salmon River State Forest. Gillette's Castle State Park, the Essex Steam Train and Riverboat, the East Haddam Swing Bridge, the Goodspeed Opera House, the Brownstone Exploration and Discovery Park, and the Dinosaur Place at Nature's Art Village are all close. The campground runs the New England season. Summer families and fall foliage drive demand — reserve ahead for both, and expect Goodspeed performance weekends to tighten availability.

Bear Creek Lake

8 RV Sites

Bear Creek Lake Resort occupies 750 acres of forested hills and meadows in Franklinville, New York, in the Cattaraugus County highlands that define the southern tier of New York's Enchanted Mountains region. The resort centers on a private 15-acre lake—the bear creek lake itself—and delivers a recreation package that combines water sports, motorized trail access, equestrian activities, and court sports within a single property that feels more like a private wilderness retreat than a campground. The resort's amenities are built around physical adventure: the lake supports canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing for bass, trout, perch, and sunnies, while a heated Olympic-sized swimming pool provides a more structured water option. Miles of private ATV trails run through the wooded terrain surrounding the lake, and horseback riding adds an equestrian dimension that distinguishes Bear Creek from most family camping resorts in the Northeast. Basketball, tennis, and pickleball courts cover court sports, and full hookup RV sites, comfortable cabins, and scenic tent sites accommodate all accommodation preferences. The resort recently completed a $5 million renovation that has brought the facilities up to a level commensurate with the spectacular natural setting. Franklinville sits in the Cattaraugus County highlands, a landscape of deep hardwood-forested valleys, clear creeks, and the dramatic hill country that the last glacier left behind in southern New York. The terrain here is genuinely wild by eastern standards—thick second-growth forests on steep ridges, beaver ponds in valley bottoms, and the sense of being embedded in a large, relatively unpopulated landscape that grows increasingly rare this close to the population centers of the Northeast. The proximity to Ellicottville, one of western New York's premier resort towns, adds an extra dimension for guests who want options beyond the resort itself. Ellicottville, about fifteen minutes from the resort, anchors the region's tourist economy with Holiday Valley and HoliMont ski areas—two of the better ski destinations in the eastern United States—alongside a walkable village with distinctive restaurants and a summer and fall activity calendar. Allegany State Park, one of New York's largest and most diverse state parks at 65,000 acres, is within easy driving distance and provides camping, hiking, cycling, and swimming in an Appalachian Plateau setting. Letchworth State Park—sometimes called the Grand Canyon of the East for its dramatic 600-foot gorge carved by the Genesee River—is about an hour's drive and represents one of the Northeast's most spectacular natural landmarks. Bear Creek Lake Resort operates through the New York outdoor recreation season, with the full range of water, trail, and equestrian activities available through summer and fall. The ATV trail network draws motorsport enthusiasts, the lake attracts anglers and paddlers, and the combination makes it a rare multi-activity resort capable of satisfying a family with genuinely different outdoor interests. Book cabin accommodations early for summer holiday weekends in this part of western New York, where quality lodging options are limited and the Enchanted Mountains' growing reputation has steadily increased demand.

Sun Retreats Westward Shores

25 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 28 Cottages, 1 Lodge, 3 Park Models

Sun Retreats Westward Shores in West Ossipee, New Hampshire, occupies the northwest shore of Ossipee Lake in Carroll County's Lakes Region foothills — a waterfront camp-resort in the transition zone between the granite-and-pine lake country of the New Hampshire Lakes Region and the White Mountain foothills of the Mount Washington Valley, giving guests a dual-access summer base that combines the lake swimming, boating, and fishing of Ossipee Lake with the hiking, outlet shopping, scenic railroad rides, and alpine attractions of the North Conway and Conway corridor minutes to the north. The Sun Retreats brand's investment in consistent amenity quality and operational hospitality gives Westward Shores the resort character that Ossipee Lake's natural setting deserves. Lakefront and lake-view accommodations for RV sites, cottage rentals, and vacation home-style lodging give the resort the accommodation diversity to serve families across different group sizes and equipment configurations. The direct Ossipee Lake access — with swimming, boating, and fishing available from the property's waterfront — delivers the lake summer camp experience that New Hampshire's Lakes Region and its glacially carved lake system have provided to summer visitors since the Victorian era. The resort's community programming, social activities, and family-oriented atmosphere reflect Sun Retreats' approach to building a genuine seasonal community rather than simply providing overnight parking. Pets are welcome. Ossipee Lake's approximately 3,000 acres of cold, clear New Hampshire water support warmwater and coldwater fishery species across a lake whose maximum depth exceeds 100 feet in its northern basin — largemouth and smallmouth bass, pickerel, yellow perch, and white perch sustain the recreational fishing that lake country summer residents build their morning routines around. The lake's western shore access from Westward Shores gives guests the aquatic base for motorized boating, sailing, canoeing, and kayaking across a lake large enough to provide genuine open-water conditions while remaining contained enough for family boating safety. The Mount Washington Valley, accessible in minutes from the resort, is New Hampshire's most comprehensively developed outdoor recreation and tourism corridor — North Conway's outlet shopping district provides the commercial anchor that makes the valley a year-round destination regardless of weather, while the White Mountain National Forest hiking trail network, Cathedral Ledge and Whitehorse Ledge's world-class rock climbing, the Swift River's swimming holes in the White Mountain National Forest, and the Conway Scenic Railroad's excursion trains through Crawford Notch deliver the White Mountain experience that New England outdoor enthusiasts pursue year-round. Sun Retreats Westward Shores operates through New Hampshire's camping season from late May through Columbus Day weekend, with the summer weeks from Fourth of July through Labor Day representing the most intensely booked period and the August foliage transition beginning the color season that extends through the September and early October window of peak leaf color in Carroll County's mixed hardwood and conifer forest. Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire's largest lake, is 20 minutes south of Ossipee and provides the Weirs Beach entertainment district, the M/S Mount Washington excursion boat, and the Water Country waterpark as day-trip extensions of the Lakes Region experience. Reserve accommodations several months ahead for summer holiday weekends and the prime August lake season when Ossipee Lake area properties book from the greater Boston, Manchester, and coastal New England markets.

Cedar Valley Cottage Resort

On the scenic Scugog River in the City of Kawartha Lakes, Ontario—in the rolling agricultural and cottage-country landscape east of Lindsay where the Trent-Severn Waterway's interconnected lakes, rivers, and locks create one of the most celebrated inland boating corridors in eastern Canada—Cedar Valley Cottage Resort, a Summerhill Resorts property, offers two and three-bedroom seasonal cottages with full kitchens and comfortable furnishings alongside premium waterfront docks, a multi-sports court with road hockey, pickleball, tennis, and basketball, direct fishing and boating access from the Scugog River, and the immediate proximity to the Kawartha Lakes region's trails, provincial parks, and the historic town of Lindsay that makes this cottage-country resort the complete base camp for a Kawartha summer season from May through October. The river is at your dock. Lindsay is minutes away. Cedar Valley's two and three-bedroom cottages provide the family-scale accommodation that the Kawartha Lakes seasonal market demands—full kitchens for self-catering the week, comfortable furnishings for the evening post-lake gathering, and the private cottage character that distinguishes a cottage-country stay from a standard campground experience. The premium Scugog River docks allow guests with their own boats to arrive by water or launch directly onto the river for the fishing, the leisurely river exploration, and the Trent-Severn Waterway lock system navigation that makes the Kawartha waterway network one of Ontario's great boating destinations. The multi-sports court's road hockey, pickleball, tennis, and basketball keep the active family and the competitive adults equally occupied during the dry-weather hours between lake sessions. The Kawartha Lakes region—City of Kawartha Lakes encompasses the former Victoria County's interconnected municipalities, conservation areas, and provincial parks in a landscape shaped by Precambrian Shield bedrock, glacial lakes, and the rivers that connect them—provides the fishing, boating, and nature experience that the Ontario cottage tradition has organized itself around since the 19th century. The Scugog River connects the resort directly to the Trent-Severn Waterway, the 386-kilometer engineered waterway that links Lake Ontario at Trenton to Georgian Bay at Port Severn through 44 locks and 6 lakes in the most complete inland boating route in Ontario. Lindsay, minutes from the resort, provides the essential Kawartha Lakes town infrastructure—the farmers market, the historic downtown shopping, the medical and grocery services, and the community events calendar that the City of Kawartha Lakes anchors in its largest urban center. The Petroglyphs Provincial Park, 45 miles north near Woodview, protects the largest concentration of Indigenous petroglyphs in Canada—the 900-plus carved figures in the crystalline limestone outcropping are among the most significant sacred sites in Ontario's First Nations heritage. Fenelon Falls, Bobcaygeon, and the other Kawartha Lakes waterfront communities provide the day-trip variety that the cottage-country touring circuit builds around locks, ice cream shops, and antique stores along the Trent-Severn. Cedar Valley Cottage Resort operates seasonally from May 1 through October 31 in the Kawartha Lakes' temperate Ontario summer climate, with June through Labour Day the peak cottage season and the September and October shoulder weeks offering the region's most comfortable temperatures, the autumn walleye and bass fishing peak, and the hardwood forest's fall color display that the Kawartha uplands produce in the October weeks before closing. Reserve your cottage at Cedar Valley and let the Scugog River, the Trent-Severn Waterway, and the Kawartha Lakes' complete cottage-country experience make Ontario's inland lake district the summer destination the resort's river location promises.
