Great place with fantastic views. You can start to different hikes from the parking lots which are $10 a day for normal cars. Would highly recommend during sunny fall days.

North-south lake campground This is a campground in Catskill, 2:30 minutes from New York. Internet is good and shower facilities are good In summer, you can rent a canoe, and the price is $15. It is not available on bad weather. The campsite is $25 a day. It is now autumn leaves. In the spring, the Kataskill Falls that can be accessed from inside the campsite are a sight to behold. Yes, the puppy must show the Levi Vaccine certificate

We spent the most gorgeous Fall weekend there. This is a beautiful campground, very large with many different sites/ qualities of sites. We lucked out with ours and had a lot of privacy, because the campground can get very crowded. There are hiking trails right from the campground which is lovely not to have to drive. We will be back!

Mike | Nov 7, 2018

Ramiro Mazariegos | Sep 7, 2022

I assume you're not talking about camping there, so assume 10 am to sundown otherwise. That's not an official answer but if you're not camping it's a good assumption.

Rich Hunt | Sep 7, 2022
Peter M | Sep 7, 2022

Check with the park office. People along the road to the park sell firewood so it is likely to be allowed

Bladimir Garcia | Nov 6, 2021

Each loop has a facility where campers can shower, use toilets and sink and wash dishes. There's also a few spigots around each loop. The facility has electricity and you can plug into the bathroom outlets if you wish for a brief charge (or to use your coffeemaker) but the sites themselves do NOT have water and electricity or hookups.

Is there a playground there for my 3year old?

chris Michael | Nov 7, 2019
jim catalfamo | Nov 7, 2019

there is a playground. A child will have a ball here But the most spectacular thing about the campground is the area it's located in. The trails are the best. From the campground you can go & do a trail that will take you two artists Rock, sunset rock, Norman's ledge & North point. On the same road as the main entrance within a 1/2 mile there are two short trails. The first one being Laurel house trail will take you to a platform that you can see kaaterskills Falls. It's one of the most spectacular Falls NY has to offer. The next one is closer to the main entrance & that will take you to inspiration point & Boulder Rock. 38 miles from the campgrounds on route 42 you will find buttermilk Falls Brook & peekamoose blue hole. Both of these are roadside. The Falls have a small pool andthe blue hole is gorgeous W/ Crystal clear waters. Which you & your child can swim in. Do your research well & you'll find a ton of things to enjoy with your family besides just sitting around a campgrounds.

what is the earliest you can book a site in advance?

Milla Bouklieva | Nov 7, 2019
AN C | Nov 7, 2019

The season opens May 17th but the reservations go quickly since it's a popular campground (rightfully so since it's got everything you need close by). I believe the reservations open in advance & roll out weekly so it's best to keep checking for the week you want until it opens. They take walkin's but it's rare a spot is available. Plan ahead!
