Welcome to our website in 2021. We have been operating year-round with limited sites and amenities. We will continue to do so through 2021. Due to COVID-19, we have cut back on many of our amenities. To encourage social distancing, we are only renting a limited number of sites with water, sewer, 30/50 electric, Wi-Fi, TV, picnic table, and fire ring to RVs that are fully self-contained.
Our Store/Reservation Office is closed. All reservations can be made by phone at 845-651-7717. Reservations must be paid in full in advance by VISA, MasterCard, or Discover.
All buildings are closed. The hiking trails are open. Volleyball and basketball are available, but you must bring your own ball. The disc golf course is set up. Bring your own discs. The horseshoe area is set up, but bring your own horseshoes. The playground is open. Fire rings: bring your own fire wood (what you think you will use for the duration of your stay).
