Brookside Campgrounds - Catskill, New York

Emily Williams

I had booked a campsite here for the weekend. When I got there for check-in the office was locked and closed for the day (check in was at 2pm and I got there at 2:30pm). I had to call multiple times before I got a hold of someone to confirm my site and that I was there.

The description of the location based on their website was a seasonal campground, but this was more of a trailer park with seasonal amenities. There were mail boxes for their year round residents.

There was trash all over the campground, for example a washing machine out in front of the office/store, a trailer packed with trash out front, and an overflowing dumpster.

Also there is a policy of dogs 35lbs or less and I saw plenty of dogs that were over 35lbs walking around the property.

It was perfect for location if you’re trying to spend time hiking in the Catskill area but I’d recommend another campground.

We were heading home during the winter and they were the only park to answer the phone, as well as give us a spot without the need to validate. They saved us from complete disaster trying to get home, as our route received almost 20 inches of snow!
The funniest part? Free range chicken and a big ole goose. Loved every moment!

The campground was spacious ,our site big , the staff helpful and friendly, tho I think the the bathrooms need better ventilation, and a bench in the showers to put your bag and shower needs on . Store or office is tiny and unorganized and need to open earlier and stay open later, pool too small for the amount of camper you have . It's a nice campground otherwise, beautiful scenery! We were shocked too that going to the park where the Kaaterskillfalls was that you needed proof of recent rabies shots for your pets.

, I was very disappointed we couldn't go in
for we had looked very forward to seeing the falls . You need more brochures for amenities that are outside your park.

This campground is awesome. Bonnie and her family were nothing more than spectacular. We were there from 8/3-8/6/2023, and this campsite's amenities and location are awesome. It has a beautiful pool, a game room for the kids, and a beautiful lake for a nice walk or fishing, rock climbing, archery, and the restrooms might look old from the outside but very clean on the inside. The bathrooms with 75 cents to shower is fun for my kids. CONNIE ROGERS, we apologized for the noise as we had a few young kids playing hide and seek but Bonnie was there to quickly enforce the quiet time. Regarding all the other items you listed as poor, I think you were totally wrong about this site. You did not give it a chance but we have and been coming to Brookside Campground for the past 15 years. Love this place and I recommend this Campground to anyone.

Love the place ❤️ First visit we did right after Covid. They were one of very few campgrounds which opened that time. We loved them then and every year we come to this camp. People are super sweet. Pool is warm (we now live in Florida), very good and very clean. There's entertainment every weekend for kids and adults ( movie, firetruck ride and more). If anyone wants to visit Catskills I would advise to come to Brookside Camp ?❤️

I actually went there to repossess a camper. I was impressed with how professional and helpful the owners were. Despite the unit having been abandoned there by the debtor the owner of the campground required copies of all of our legal documents before allowing us to remove the unit.

Owners were rude or did not say morning or anything rules are too strict. It was more of a Stressful week then a vacation week
