Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews

September 2 Not well managed

We stayed here for 2 nights in early August. The facilities are run down, in disrepair, and not appealing at all. Campsite boundaries are not clear, had another small popup set up almost on top of our table and fire ring when we arrived. The campground did not enforce rules regarding the number of campers, tents, or cars at a site. The attendant was not at all helpful in finding the closest available water. She appeared to be preoccupied with something other than getting me checked in and settled.

May 2 Great for Boaters

If you?re a boater that likes to trailer and camp this is a spot not to be missed. Great camp site and nice cabins available. The marina is very accommodating to transient boaters and only gets $1 per foot per night for docking and that covers your launch fee! Located just a few miles south of Kingston there are numerous towns, with free docking, to explore up and down river. If you haven?t boated the Hudson you are missing one of the nicest experiences on the east coast.
