My son and I came here for years when this was a KOA and then for a brief time as Copake Camping Resort. We always camped in one of the four awesome tent sites. Great location and setup, it was perfect. Greed knows no bounds and they took away the only four tent sites for yet even more rv sites. We were told, at least a few years ago, that actually taking away the sites was a good thing since then we could tent camp anywhere. Total nonsense that was not a netter option at all. We never went back and now I see there is no tent camping at all. We will never camp there again and want to sarcastically thank the current, far less quality than the KOA ownership for ruining a place for us that we held dear. And I see the reviews are now down to 4.2 which is not good for a campground and not surprised at all.

I’ve been camping at this campground a couple of times each camping season for several years and have always appreciated the reliable hookups, friendly staff and amenities. The grass sites are my favorite—much nicer than the other transient spots, which feel more like a parking lot. Those are great when camping with friends, but not when you prefer a quiet evening. Wifi was very slow and it took some time to access social media. That said, I was really disappointed at the steep $100 a night for the weekend after Columbus Day, and I wasn’t able to use the discount advertised on their Facebook page because it was considered a “special” weekend (guess I didn't read the fine print). Yes, it was Monster Weekend which included a trunk-or-treat and a band, but that hardly justified not being able to use the discount. I can understand that rate in the summer with pool open, air conditioners on and more staff to handle more guests. I’ve enjoyed Copake Camping Resort for a long time due to its location to the Rail Trail and the Hillsdale Farmers market on the weekend as well as it is under an hour from my home. Still, at these prices, I’ll likely be booking other campgrounds in the area in the future.

Nice private camping resort, cabins & campers only. Nicely run, facilities very nice. Enjoyed a last minute trip that just so happened to have open site for us to go.

Attention campers! This was a really nice little camping or glamping spot, very family friendly, dog friendly, fun activities or very nice for relaxing. Cute little store for small or last minute staples (water, milk, eggs, bacon, candies, ice, firewood, etc.). The beds were a bit hard for my liking, but the hubby didn't mind that, so just be aware! Don't forget your own linens and pillows!

My first camping 🏕 experience and I have had the best experience with my family here at Copake Camping Resort. I will recommend it to anyone and everyone! Thank you for such a wonderful time. The included activities were great and our neighbors were wonderful! I can't wait to come back! 8hr drive from Ohio was totally worth every mile! 🥰🥰🥰

We've been going here for many years with the price increasing and not a whole lot of improvements, but it's close to home for short weekend getaways. With that said, this past weekend kinda just got to me. We actually decided to use the pool, even though it was chilly, but we wanted to get cooled down from playing pickle ball. I just found the pool to be dirty for the amount of little use it had had that weekend. Also, it is definitely not heated. The other thing that happened, was the outdoor pavilion ended up being used for a private party. The private party people used that nights DJ so we ended up having to listen to their party all day long. To me that's not called for and shouldn't have been done.

The staff were extremely rude and unhelpful. Provided no linens for the cabin. Refused to return my security deposit because I cut my finger while cooking and there was a small amount of blood in the cabin, which I offered to clean up if they could provide me with supplies (I had none on me) and they kept my $200.00 for this reason. I felt unsafe at this campground also the maintenance workers were mean, especially David. I asked him for the code to get my car back in the gate and he would not provide me the code and was nasty about it. Unprofessional, rude, and unethical. My advice stay somewhere else.

I will say the staff were quite friendly and helpful. The cabin we stayed at was absolutely not cleaned. The filters in the ac units were full of mold. The fan in the bathroom was not working it was so dirty. We cleaned all of this it was not worth the hassle. The floors looked as if they might have been cleaned opening day. Not since. There is not a lot to do there. We were ready to go after the first couple of days. We would not spend the ridiculous amount of money again for what we got...

Went here Last July and it was overall an okay experience. The campground is very clean and the store is nice because it has a lot to offer. However, like what others have said, the seasonal people aren't very nice to outsiders. While we were driving to our site, one of the main roads was blocked off because of a corn hole match going on, so we had to do a loop around the whole campground to get to our site. The person guiding us to the site seemed to forget that we had a 36ft trailer behind us because there were some close calls with a tight bridge and trees. Unfortunately, due to the direction we going in from the main road being closed, it made it impossible to back our trailer onto the site as a result from the awkward angle. After 30 minutes of trial and error, we gave up and went around the campground again and ended up on the road that was more convenient for us. By then, it had started to downpour pretty bad so we figured that the corn hole match would've been over. So we drove through and got screamed at by people on golf carts for interrupting their game even though there was no game because it was downpouring. This was followed by a "Your driving too fast, the speed limit is five miles per hour." We were going four. Our site power post stopped working within the first hour too, but they were very quick to fix it which was great. The owner is very nice as well. We had some great coverasations with her on our stay.

Everything went smooth from reservation/ check in / check out. *Actually we did a last minute reservation and were lucky to get a place. Our cabin was nice & clean and we enjoyed the pool. It wasn’t so crowded (Maybe bc we arrived on Wednesday). Staff @ the front desk was nice & helpful. * Cons: I couldn’t really Id some of the staff (No uniforms/ badge/ or caps). The arcade games ate a couple of my coins (not a big deal, but something it has to be addressed). Overall it was a nice experience. Thankyou, my family had a great time.
