I grew up in Hopewell Junction, but moved out of the area 30 years ago. Back in the day, this was a day-use park, with limited camping (tent only). The beach area is now only available for those camping here, and not to the public. The road in is in very poor shape, and we were wondering if we should go on. We were parked up the hill in the "Meadow", and the camping area itself was OK. The hookups are old, and the sewer is all the way at the back of the site, so make sure you have plenty of sewer hose. (We had to go to Wal-Mart in Fishkill to get another 10-foot section). We had 50 amp power, decent water pressure and good view of the sky for the satellite. They only accept cash or checks, and it's $45 per nite, no tax. Way overpriced for what you get, but there is nothing else in the area, and it was convenient for us as we were visiting friends in the area. The bathhouse/laundry room combo is a JOKE! There is only one shower stall each for men and women, and there is only 1 washer and one dryer, and it shares space with various tools and the snow blower, plus it's a hike down the hill from the campsites to even use it. It hasn't been updated since I left here in 1981. AND you have to pay 50 cents for 10 minutes of shower use! There are several seasonals in the campground, but they seemed friendly, and kept their lots neat. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Warning, DO NOT use your GPS to get here. Use the parks web site for directions because the Taconic Parkway allows cars only. The sewer is all the way to the back, water pressure (very low) at 30 PSI, and Wi-Fi only if you get in the car and drive over near the managers house, no cable TV either. The road going in is full of potholes and very rough, if you have a tow dolly it will drag on the hump in the road. The lake is for park residents only and is warm and clear. The park has lots of permanents but all of their spots were kept up and clean. Had it not been for the fact that we were in the area to visit some friends we would not have stayed here. We did see lots of deer and turkeys. The area is heavily wooded but the sites are out in the open. Electric was good and stable. The park is over priced for what you get, but it is the only one near the area we were visiting. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a little out of the way but a pretty good park. If you have a big rig, you have to detour around a narrow and low overhead turnpike. Where it says passenger cars only, believe it. Had FHU. The sewer was all the way to the back so I used my macerator, rather than try to connect all my sewer hoses together. The cable TV at my site did not work but I was only here overnight so I didn't mind. The guy running it now is Johnny-on the-spot when you pull up to register and leads you to your site. The road going in is full of potholes and very rough. If it was up to me I would never repair it. You can bet there won't be any hot-rodders on that road. The lake is for park residents only and is warm and clear. Lots of fish too. The park has lots of permanents but all of their spots were clean and the few we talked to were friendly. If not for the price I would give this one a 10. We camped here in a Motorhome.
