The Campsite at Oak Lodge is located on an historic property in Palenville, New York which once hosted vacation cabins, lodge, and a tavern before it was turned into a private home. It now offers a camping experience in a wooded area with mature trees, but close to several amenities in the hamlet of Palenville. It has easy access to the main road. The campsite is a generous space to pitch your tent. There is a communal area with a picnic table, drinking water, a small gas grill, hammocks, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs. There is an outhouse and wash-up area for all campers. The two acres provide both a wooded area and a large grassy space. Although set back far from the road, you will hear some vehicle noise and there are nearby streetlights. Oak Lodge is one mile from Catskill Park trails leading to the wilderness area including North and South Lake. It is between sections 22 and 23 on the Long Path. You are a mile to a wine and spirits shop, and a quaint but hip general store that offers breakfast and lunch. When visiting: 1. Park near the entrance of the main house and use the wagon to bring your gear to the campsite. 2. There are wild animals in the area (raccoons, possums, bears, deer, fisher cat), so be sure to store your food far from your tent (preferably in your car). 3. Water for washing up is available, but bring your own potable water. 4. Bring your own toilet paper, soap, etc. 5. There is firewood and kindling available on site. Be sure all fires are completely extinguished before going to sleep. 6. We appreciate you not leaving any garbage, but if you are unable to take it with you, there is a garbage can at the main entrance of the house. Do not leave any garbage at the campsite. 7. Keep all pets near the campsite and do not allow them near the main house or where they might disturb other guests. Clean up any droppings.

Very great experience. The people are very friendly and accommodating. While I was away it started pouring and the covered my tent with a tarp. I am very grateful for that.

We had a great stay! Plenty of space to hang out, and both tent sites are very private.

Calm Camping Trip

Barn Owl Site

My partner and I last minute wanted to go camping upstate, and this was a great option! The hosts were very sweet, helping us get acquainted and answering any questions about the area we had. They provided recommendations of things to do around town (including an incredible swimming hole about a 5-minute walk away) along with dinner recommendations in town. They had a bonfire the night we stayed and offered us pizza and sparkling water which was really kind! The area is close to a lot of beautiful hikes and waterfalls. Would recommend if you want a calm city escape!

Great stay at Scott's private backyard campsite. They provided potable water and firewood which was much appreciated and generous. Very approachable hosts, but also left us to our space. Parking was a small walk, but they provided a cart to walk items back and forth easier. Would stay again!
