Kenneth L. Wilson Campground

We loved the location. All the campsites are very shaded so no solar possible unless you moved your rig to the day use area every day. We stayed here after a cross-country trip because we needed to dump our tanks & take on water. They have a very basic dump station w non-potable water but no potable water that an RV can access. There are many water spigots around the CG but they are so old that a modern hose can’t connect to them! A CG employee said that you could buy an adaptor at a hardware store but we didn’t do that. We left after one night and would not stay here again.

On the plus side: beautiful shaded sites, trails right from the CG, friendly employees & a great recycling center.

Spent a night at Kenneth L. Wilson in early August of 2023. We had site 52.

I was impressed with this campsite! While some of the spots were fairly close together, they seem more spread out than in other Catskill camping sites. Our site was clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. There's a central dishwashing station as well as a trash/recycling room. Water is from several spigots around the site. We didn't partake, but apparently they rent paddle boards and kayaks for the lake. There's also a really nice looking playground.

We stayed on a Friday night, and things were pretty quiet (though that could have been because of the rain).

For what it's worth, I had basically no cell service with Verizon.

KENNETH was a smaller campground that felt perfect for us. Private sites (not all, but many), clean bathrooms & showers and very friendly staff. There is no swimming currently on the lakes, but you can rent canoes/kayaks to fish or paddle around. The views from the day-use area is fantastic. We camped there for 4 nights a few weeks ago and we enjoyed all aspects.

Inside the park are four very easy hiking trails all around 1 mile in length. All of them were pleasant trips, especially the nature trail and blue trail. As you walk along the trails you constantly see or pass over the old rock walls that can be found throughout the Catskills.

Weekdays, the park was at a low capacity, weekends definitely picked up, but it was still very quiet and never loud beyond 10pm. Great place to visit and we shall definitely return.

This was an overnight stop on our way to Maryland. This is our first experience of dry camping and it wasn’t that bad. The state park is well maintained and manicured. Beautiful vistas and small lake. The bathrooms and showers were clean, and water across from the site. There were some negatives. We made our reservation online, we were charged for being out of state and a $9.00 service fee. In total we paid $35.00. There is no cell service. Overall, we loved this gem. We will come back.

Car-camped here a few times. The bathrooms are nicely located and well-maintained. There is a lake, where you can rent a canoe or take a nice leisurely walk around on one of the small trails. There is a dump station well away from the campsites.

They don't allow you to bring your own firewood, but they make it easy to buy wood at the front booth area. The firepits are built-out concrete structures, not just a circle lined with stones. One of the thick iron grills above the firepit was badly mangled at one of the sites, but it didn't affect us too much.

They seem to keep a tight leash on noise, as the folks in a pop-up camper near us had turned down their music after a visit by management. It wasn't even 4pm, yet.
