The campground is nice, but that snack shack is really what blew my mind. That was a really good burger. The mozzarella sticks were so good. They tasted like homemade everything was fried perfectly cooked perfectly. The juice level on the burger was perfect hats off to the couple in the kitchen at the snack shack Really made my afternoon. ;)

Great spot with lots of amenities and friendly staff. Called last minute trying to find a place to park my camper van overnight and they were extremely helpful in getting me a plot. Showers are hot and clean, trails are maintained and while I didn't use many of the amenities there are a lot. Laundry on site, mini golf, a pool and plenty of other things if you bring kids. It's very RV/Camper centric but they have plots in the back for cars/vans/tents. Much reccomended and would stop again if in the area. Extra shout out to Daria in the front office, she is so kind and a huge help.

Rip Van Winkle campground is such a special place! My family and I have been visiting the campground for the past five years and we’ve always enjoyed each trip. The grounds are a mix of nature and comfort, from the beautiful, crystal clear Plattekill Creek and shaded sites, to the well stocked camp store and snack shack, private showers, heated pool, and endless activities. Rips is the kind of campground that you never want to leave, once there! We have stayed in both cabins and tent camped and always look for sites along the creek. We have made wonderful memories during their exciting themed weekends like their Christmas in July or their incredible Halloween weekend, but have also marveled at how quiet and peaceful the grounds are during the weekdays. Such a great family campground our family has come to love!

We stayed here as an over night on a trip. The campground was fairly easy to get to, and not far off the toll road. But once you turn into the campground there is a steep driveway that curves slightly… we took it slow, at one point we had maybe 4” of clearance between the cap and the bed of the truck. We were in spot #9… a pull -thru for up to 45ft. We are 42ft and the nose of our truck was in the bush to right next to the site# sign, and we had about 6” of clearance between our rig and the tree on the left. I would not recommend this site if you are any longer. This is a wooded campground and the roads throughout do curve around the trees at times, so take it slow. The trees are trimed plenty high somee had no issues with scrapping branches. The grounds are well maintained. Water pressure was good. Cell phone signal was great for T-Mobile, and WiFi was good. The campground seemed to be loaded with things to do… I wish we had more time to check it out. Neighbors were close but there’s plenty of trees between to not feel on top of each other. Our site was level.

Wonderful campground! We had our GIrl Scouts Family camping trip here this year. Wonderful owners, plenty of activities and fun was had by all. Rally site #1 was a great choice for our large group. Pavilion, field area, running water and electric, bathroom close and showers on opposite side of the camp ground but wasn’t terrible to get to.

Just completed our 6th Memorial Day holiday at Rip Van Winkle where we tent camp with a group of friends. It is always an absolute joy to be a guest here. The place is well maintained and has every amenity you would want when camping with a young family. It’s clear in every detail that the staff takes enormous pride in what they do. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Unfriendly. Obviously aren't interested in getting any new customers they must have enough regulars. Absolutely refuse to let my family use the dump station when we really could have used it. Not very empathetic or nice at all. Looks like a great place but the hosts are not so nice

Had a few issues but overall we enjoyed the stay. We especially enjoyed the heater 88° pool. Roads were tight with many turns for our 40' fifth wheel getting to our site but slow and easy was the way. The coin machine in the laundry broke on us so we had to keep going to the office to get change. The license plate reader to get into the park also failed on me twice. Our site was wide and clean. The kids liked All the fun zones but really enjoyed #1 and 2. Rips snack shack had some good food and was open all day, which was nice.

Very unhappy and miserable owners. Don’t have visitors. They frown upon anybody visiting you even if it’s only an hour. I didn’t realize you had to pay additional money for visitors. They’ll come harass you. Just a heads up. And for the love of god don’t bring any pets! Lots of trouble getting into gate after hours.
