NYS Thruway North to Exit 19 (Kingston). Take first right onto traffic circle then exit for Rte 28 and Rte 209. Follow signs for Kingston Rhinecliff Bridge take bridge across Hudson. At 2nd traffic light make a right onto Rte 9G. At 1st traffic light (intersection of 9 & 9G) make a right onto Rte 9 south. At the next light in the center of Rhinebeck (Beekman Arms is on right corner) make a left onto Route 308 (W. Market St). Continue on 308 (approx. 6 miles) until Rock City where it becomes Route 199. Travel approximately another 5 miles on Route 199 until you see the signs for Wilcox Park entrance on the right.
Great place for walking—particularly with your dog! This is a really beautiful park, very well maintained.
Nice place to camp. Clean bathrooms. Hot showers . Cell phone service isn't great, but if you go up to the top of the hill you can usually get some kind of a signal.
Refreshing lake though with very limited range of swimming, and subject to occasional algae blooms despite running agitators. The beach and changing rooms are clean. The parking lot has space for roughly forty cars. The park's entrance from Route 199 is paved, but the approach from North Knob Hill Road is unpaved and bumpy, so please do not attempt this if not in a 4WD. There is a lovely gazebo, pleasant hiking trails and a playground with modern equipment.
A beautiful Park and great Camp grounds! Everything is well maintained!
Down side, extremely weak cellphone signal!
Camped here for a week and we loved it. Park Manager and all the staff were great. Beautiful swimming lake, boating, lots of trails and Frisbee golf available. They have electric and non-electric camp sites. Dog friendly as well. Lovely shaded play ground for kids. Nice picnic tables around beach area. Highly recommend and look forward to returning. Check their website and FB Page for more info.
