From Thruway Exit 19 at Kingston, take the first right turn off the traffic circle to Route 28. Proceed approximately 21 miles west on Rte 28 to Mt. Tremper. Turn right on to Rte 212. Turn right again on Wittenberg Road (County Rte 40). The campsite is approximately 4 miles down, on the right side. Alternate Route: From Route 28 West, turn right at Rte 375 and follow it to Rte 212. Turn left off Rte. 212, at Bear's Cafe, onto Rte. 45. Take County Rte. 40 to the campground, on the left side of the road.
Loved it! Mr Arthur who helped at the canoe launch and Nancy at the front are dolls. As mentioned in other reviews, there is 0 cell service so download maps. Grocery store and beautiful hiking trails are about 7 mins away. Bathrooms are ok. People can be nasty sometimes but the staff tries their best to keep up with the cleaning rounds. Loved the foliage between the campgrounds. Didn't feel on top of each other.
Everyone I ran into that worked at this campground is so kind and caring - made my first time camping alone great!
Loop A is near the road so you occasionally hear a car - loop C is best if you like complete silence at night. Bathrooms are clean, there are water pumps pretty frequently between sites, and there are trees between each campsite to give you some privacy. Each site has a table and firepit.
Go to the Catskills visitor center down the road for cell service if you need!
Fantastic...10 out of 10...I struggle with writing this review in fear that it becomes too popular, but I will just say that we had the best weekend at Kenneth L. Wilson Campground. The staff were great from the start. Check in was a breeze. They said that they are very proud of their campground, and they have every right to be. The grounds were immaculate. Boating on the lake was beautiful. We'll be back!
Great spot for tent camping. They have a fire pit and picnic table at each site. Friendly and helpful staff. They also have bathrooms and showers available. The water in the shower was more hot than I expected which was really nice.
It’s a great location near some nice hikes in the Catskills. There’s also some trails in the park that are fun to explore.
Best of all: no cell service! A true vacation and I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to unplug and relax.
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.
