Beautiful tent sites right on the river. 5 minute walk to Tanbark Trail and less to the beautiful little village Phoenicia (go to the pizza place). We had a great stay and Linda and George who own the place are awesome.
Love this campground The owners are the best people and are so kind and nice. We know when we are there we find the peace we are looking for. The sites on the water are breathtaking. Everyone is always so friendly. We park and can walk into town, so convenient. Rustic campground that makes you enjoy the outdoors the way camping should be.
This is our favorite campground. The owners are fantastic, friendly and extremely helpful. If you want a natural camping experience next to a great rafting river, this is your spot. Within walking distance to all the local cute shops and really good restaurants. Expect bears which makes the experience even greater, and remember you’re staying at Black Bear after all. We will be staying here all the time next camping season!
Ive been coming to Phoenicia for over a decade, from the first time i came to Phoenicia Black Bear campground i felt i was in the right place. The owner George and his wife are extremely cool and laid back they make your stay as humble as possible. Campgrounds offer RV, Overland, Tent camping availability with great locations right on the Esopus creek. The convenience that the office / camp store offers ( firewood, ice, tarps, any last min emergency supplies etc.) they have it all. The main town of Phoenicia is a football fields walk from the campground which holds good restaurants, country store, ice cream shop etc. i will be coming back year after year (phoenicia is my escape from NYC).
Lovely campsite and the bathrooms were completely reasonable for being a campground , it was so nice to sleep to the sound of water . Felt like a very safe place to be. Location was prime being that Phoenicia is very central to some great hiking trails and has food and stores nearby
