Nice clean campground, beautiful scenery and local area. Not Dog Friendly! "No Dogs" signs everywhere. They have alot of rules here. No this, No that. We weren't hassled by the rules but we were warned about them often. The road coming up to the area is very steep for an RV, and the campground road is steeper. The speed limit is 15 mph before you get close to the campground. That's way too slow to climb the steep hill and you are warned verbally, and with signage, that the speed limit is enforced by radar. There is only one trash deposit (2 dumpsters side by side) in the entire campground, no trash cans. The garbage truck came at 6am to make a tremedous racket dumping them. We had a nice stay, but be aware that the constant affront from campground rules is stifling.

My wife and I discovered this place last year and fell in love with it. I brought my 3 kids this past week and it was amazing. The place is pristine, water is clean and the camping is peaceful. The park rangers are super helpful and friendly. I can’t wait to come back again and spend more time. There is no cell service so it’s the perfect place to disconnect. FYI there are bears nearby, we didn’t see or encounter any but did see fresh bear prints on our walk less than 1/2 mile fr our campsite.

What a great experience! Check in and check out was so easy. The grounds are well maintained and bathrooms are fairly clean. I loved staying next to the little playground with only a short walk to a serene lake. Water was clear and kids found plenty of tadpoles to play with. Very positive experience!

Little Pond Campground is an idyllic spot for families. We enjoyed it for a day (no camping). It was easy to drive around, bathrooms were neat, and the staff were friendly. I rented two kayaks, which came with kid and adult lifejackets and paddles at a very affordable rate. Everything was in good condition. We enjoyed sitting on the beach, watching the fish, tadpoles, and beaver in the pond, and saw lots of families hiking around the pond.

We had high hopes for this campground initially but it ended up being a real disappointment. Since it’s a very family oriented campground having rules like quiet hours makes total sense, but this place takes things to the extreme. It seems like the woman in charge is on a TOTAL power trip. Upon check in you’re met with an extremely long list of rules, including having to keep your coolers in your car or RV at all times, which was extremely inconvenient and we didn’t have the room for. Putting away coolers at night and not leaving them left unattended is all you should have to do, but AT ALL TIMES is ridiculous. This woman is also constantly riding around on her golf cart and nitpicking every little thing on people’s sites. When we first got there and were setting up, she drove her cart up and told me to move my car off the grass. I cannot express how much my car was NOT parked on the grass especially since the lots are 99% dirt. I actually took a picture because I was in such disbelief. It was almost comical. If you are a tent camper, you’re not allowed to pitch a tent on any small patches of grass that do exist so be sure to accommodate for that if you still decide to go here. In addition to this, the camp site was on the smaller side and there wasn’t much room for it along side my in-law’s RV. Not sure why they’d even allow an RV of that length, 2 cars, and a tent to be in that spot anyway. You have to list everything you’re bringing so they know exactly what’s showing up and let us be overcrowded anyway. We ended up having to cram in the RV and not pitch our tent because there was no room for it. The most upsetting part was probably the bathroom and shower situations. This campground has no hookups for RVs, the only facilities they do offer are bathrooms and showers. So you’d think those would at least be maintained. Our first two days there 3/4 of the bathroom stalls were completely clogged and disgusting. After we told the ranger, 2 were fixed, but the handicapped stall was still left clogged. The next night there 3/4 stalls were completely out of toilet paper! Luckily I brought my own so I could use that. Instead of being concerned about people parking on 10 blades of grass, why don’t you take care of the ONLY facilities you provide? I felt very bad for my in-laws having to use those bathrooms, the only reason we chose to camp at a place with facilities to begin with was so they could be comfortable. There were many people with young children there and I’d feel bad for them having to use these facilities too. The showers also had issues draining, ended up standing in a puddle of water the whole time. Also, the name of this campground is accurate. Little Pond. Don’t come expecting a lake. It’s very small. There’s also a man made waterfall at the edge with zero signage or stoppage which could be dangerous for young children. The whole experience ended up being much more stressful than relaxing. Any time we took a cooler out to cook or grab a drink we were looking over our shoulders out of fear of getting yelled at. I know we aren’t the only people to have the experience of feeling like you’re being watched and scrutinized the entire time. This was a family trip and we’re all adults. We weren’t loud, up late, blasting music, or inconsiderate. We gave them no reason to be unfriendly towards us but still felt very unwelcome and almost targeted like they were looking for any reason to yell at us. My advice would be to camp ANYWHERE else.

The least welcoming campground ever. They couldn't find our names on the campsite. Wouldn't let people in after 9pm. I couldn't even let other people know that because there is no service AND their phone lines were down. I just had to hope that my family/friends would make it there in time. Camp sites were tiny and right on top of each other.

Such a nice campground. Well kept sites and a beautiful little pond. If you're adventurous, there there are walk in sites on the opposite side of the pond (the entire pound is maybe a 20 minute fitness walk). They have ice and firewood at the park entrance. Plenty of access to Catskill hiking trails.

I really love! To go with friends and family, just print instructions how to get there because you’ll lose signal before you get there. I was there August 14 and everything was nice. They have showers and bathrooms. and a Lake as well and you can go Kayaking and Hiking. I saw a lot of families with kids. They have their rules as everything. You have to be quite by 10:00 but Jason the Ranger was really nice and amazing! He came over to talk to us and explain their rules.. Bring enough food for the time you’re gonna stay and extra clothes because gets cold at night!
