Kenneth L. Wilson Campground

Wow! CLEAN!!!! Solo camping on Labor Day weekend was amazing! Full, yet quite not a peep after 10pm! Loved the HOT showers. The flush toilets in the restrooms. No cell service, but I brought battery packs to charge my phone so I could listen to some quiet music. Horse shoe pits and a dog park with 2 separate fields to let my dog run. The pond trail was beautiful! And the staff were so friendly! I’m already booking my next trip.

Kenneth L Wilson State Park is a very nice NY State Park located in Ulster County. The park is surrounded by gorgeous views of the Catskills Mountains. Camping, paddling, hiking, and fishing are all different activities offered by the park. Altogether there are 76 different campsites here. Most of them are spacious and secluded in the woods. All of the campsites have access to showers and bathrooms. Cell service in the park is limited. Check the park’s website to make reservations here. For day use facilities there are a few short hiking trails here. The best trail goes along the shore of the lake in the campground. Kayaks can be rented here. You can fish and there are fishing piers located along the lake . Chain pickerel, bass, are the major species in the pond. Pavilions that can be rent

Had a great time bringing a group of 8 friends + 1 dog here. We booked 2 adjacent campsites and stayed for 3 nights in all. Half the group camps often and the other half not as much. This was a great place to ease into camping due to the amazing facilities. The bathrooms were clean (for my campground standards). There's an industrial dish washing station with 2 sinks, as well as hot showers down the road. Clear markings and paved roads. The campsite itself was perfect. Fire pit / grill + picnic table. Note the fire pit grill has really wide spacing, so don't expect to be able to grill directly on it - you need a wire rack or something to put on top. Sites are close enough together that you'll see your neighbors, but everyone was friendly and considerate. They don't sell firewood, but th

Really peaceful. I thought the lack of cell reception would be a real burden, but it was nice for a night I do wish there was ONE spot on grounds that had it though because I had to drive up road 5 min to get reception enough to change my reservation. Camp staff members were incredibly involved, even going from one campsite to the other and interacting, sitting and watching cars entering, and checking in with campers. I appreciated all of this! It made me feel so safe! There a large dog park-and signs reminding dog parents that dogs must be leashed at all times anywhere else-but none of the dogs I saw were leashed. I do wish people would obey the sign. I love walking and roaming, but a dog being friendly dislocated my hip last year, so I have to stay away (I have a medical condition

I’ve passed the place many times but never stopped in until now. Wow…what a little gem. It was mid October so it wasn’t busy. My wife and I took a short walk on the hiking trail and then went around the lake. The view of the Catskill mountains was beautiful with the Fall colors. I plan to be back to take a longer hike and also check out the camping area. Entering the park there is an entrance booth which wasn’t open so the park was free. I’m not sure if the day use area has a fee during the season. The campground is open from mid May to early October. The Day Use area is open year round. There is a large parking lot and a building with bathrooms that wasn’t open this time of the year.
