We had a great camping trip at Blue Mountain Campground. Coming from the city, traffic was worse than we had anticipated so we barely arrived on time for 8pm check in but everything worked out. I wished we had left the city earlier so we could have explored more. We stayed for 2 nights over the weekend in Cabin 5. It was perfect for us as a couple. We slept on the bottom double bed and used the top bunk for storage. We went in the middle of October and the cabin was warm and equipped with a faux fireplace that kept us warm. We also had a mini fridge for our food. We bought wood from the campground and enjoyed s'mores but we got rained on so only lasted about an hour. Bathrooms were clean & what you'd expect from a campground. We will definitely be back!

I love it! Beautiful, clean, very inviting. It’s a nice quiet experience. There’s a pool, playground and game room fit the kids. Laundry mat with good prices. A pavilion perfect for get togethers. A good wholesome family environment

I stayed here 3 months while I was working and this campground was one of the best I’ve stayed at in my 15 years of travel. Tho owners are very nice and accommodating. Bathrooms always clean. Grass is kept mowed. They have a store on site that has all the necessities you might have forgotten or ended up needing. They fill propane onsite which is a huge convenience as well.

Campground is decent. Nothing special. The bathrooms are hot, humid, and dirty. The ventilation is awful. There are spiders, ants and beetles crawling around. I couldn’t imagine showering in there. We left two days early.

This campground is in a great location for accessing some amazing hikes and conveniently located near the thruway, so it is particularly great for a late afternoon/evening arrival in the Catskills. We tent camped. All the sites were very clean and well maintained. Some sites were great, with really nice flat areas for a tent, while others were not as great for tents (not as level, rocky, roots). The bathrooms were clean. Some people may not like that there are a lot of RVs and many seem to be there on a more permanent basis. But, overall, we had a great experience and would return!
