Military Park Round Pond Rec Area (U.S. Military Academy)

Great place to camp at super cheap prices. I paid 24$ for my tent campsite. The site had a fire ring, grill, and picnic table setup for use. The campground is very clean and has everything you could need for a few days of good camping. There is a lake at the campground with all sorts of toys for rent at very cheap pricing.

Quiet rustic location to camp that is available only to the active and veteran military. We enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again. To access campgrounds may be white-knuckling for RV drivers. The very narrow, no-shoulders road is a 4%-6% uphill grade for about one mile. To my knowledge, it is the only access to enter and exit. Note: trying to arrive after dark may be an intimidating drive, especially for large-size RVs. Once you enter the campgrounds the road flattens but the roads to the campsites are still narrow and one-way direction I assume because of narrowness. However, campsites have built-in serenity. Partial hookup with 30 amp and water only. Typical Sites fit RV and second vehicles very easily including tow dolly. Plenty of outdoor opportunities on campgrounds, and local things to see and visit nearby besides seeing West Point. A recommendation is to visit the Bethel Woods Museum where the famous 1969 Woodstock Concert was held. It's 1 hour away. FYI, the Woodstock concert was not held in Woodstock, NY. It is in Bethel Woods, NY. To the Chief Interior Director (i.e., wives or partners 😀), if you need to pick up supplies and goodies, I recommend visiting Walmart, etc before arriving. I didn't see one nearby. Enjoy

Wow, breathtakingly peace filled and wonderfully packed with options for fun on site. The rules are very clear and provided in the welcome pack. This was my first experience here and am very pleased. Definitely returning. I’m not certain how big rigs get up the winding road in or out. In my six speed Jeep Wrangler dropped the gear down to crawl up and around and S curl again and again. God bless anyone with a big rig who can navigate the path. Took a few pictures to give ya the vibe. I’m so happy I found this place and am able to use stay. And, really nice helpful staff on the phone. Very accommodating to my arrival change. Side note, I’m a native NYer. Grew up in the area. The beauty never ceases to amaze me. As a veteran found this location and am so happy. My sis lives in Highland Falls, so it’s close by and it was nice inviting her for a walk and breakfast. Even if you’re from NY, definitely visit. You won’t be disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💯

Away from everything and in the woods around the lake. We have tmobile and only a few spots had connectivity. Spot 17 is really good. There is only one shower and restroom bldg and can be a far walk for spots on other side of lake. Only water and electric hook ups for RV spots with 1 dump station near the showers. The laundry is adjacent to showers and is pay $1.75. There are boats to rent and a swimming area. Places to hike as well. Very quiet. Some sites require leveling. There is a small store on site and a manned office. A care taker is on site 24 hrs. RV Sites ring around the lake and some are up high on the hill. Military ID is required for access. Great place for under $30 a night.

This Famcamp is just off base. It is busy around the football games. The road in is tight in some spots be conscious of the time arriving. Our site was partially shaded and level. A nice view of the pond. Facilities are clean. Good washers and dryers. We were close to the dump station and laundry and the aromas that come with that. The range is near by and you can hear training from time to time. There is an archery range on site as well. Gas and Commissary prices are better on base. If you can catch a game you should. This is one of the most beautiful bases that is steeped in history. A great fall foliage stop.
