FROM NYC: (Appx 2 1/2 hours from the Tapanzee Bridge). Take New York State Throughway to Exit 16 towards Harriman (I-17 West), continue onto I-17 towards Middletown, follow I-17 to Exit 84 (Deposit), go RIGHT at the end of the ramp onto Rt 8/ Rt 10, follow Rt 8 North for 18 miles until it crosses over I-88. Continue on Rt.8N for 3 1/4 miles, turn RIGHT at the blinking yellow light at the intersection of Rt.8 & CR 35, Campground is appx 1000 ft. on the left, just before the bridge.
Nice and quiet campground and RV park on the Unadilla River. The only complaint is that the sites were super tight. The road along the river front sites is one way with a turnaround at the end. We were able to maneuver our 38' 5th wheel down and back fine, but had to wait for 3 or 4 rigs to go down and back first. Pool was nice, and you can rent canoes or kayaks for the day for pretty cheap. If you stay on a Friday, be sure to order a pizza or wings which they deliver in a retro pink VW Bug. Saturdays they smoke chicken and ribs and deliver at dinner-time!
Was stuck between 3 or 4 stars. The owners are nice people, there are lots of activities for the kids/Adults to do if you wish to pay. The grounds are kept well! The Bathrooms kept clean! Sites are closer then we like, but we still could get our 30ft camper with a 40 inch slide, the awning extended with our extra 10 foot tarp extended out on the site. We had a River view, took a trip on the river in the kayaks take my advice bring an extra vehicle and do an early morning trip on your own. They offer drop off for 2 hr or 5 hr trips but leaves at noon. The 7 am trip we took was much cooler then high noon. Things that could use a little work... The mini golf course and store / arcade / rec room needs way better air flow or working A/C. Also pricing seemed off.. over the phone told $3 per visitor once there $5 was charged to our guest. Over all a nice little get away. Oh on a side note we had full hook up but thought the coin op showers was interesting! Only because I have seen pull chains to control water usage never coin.
We have been camping for many years and Tall Pines offers so much for the Young and young at heart. We keep going back every year, sites well taken care of. Love seeing the children having so much fun. Many activities, pool, and arcade room, floating on the river. Sitting in front of your campfire on the bank of the river is camping at it's Best! The beauty of the area couldn't be better. Gayle and Eddy are the Best Hosts. Not only very friendly, but so so helpful! We Love this Campground!
Our family had a great time camping at Tall Pines. We spent a couple of days (from Friday to Tuesday) tent camping along side some friends who had a trailer. We were on the full hookup sites along the river, which were very nice. We were able to porch the tent beside the concrete pad staying off the site's gravel drive (trailer parking). We spent a lot of time at the pool and floating in there river. While the pool isn't huge, it was very clean and refreshing on the 90+ degree days we experience on our trip. As noted in the directions, make sure you download the app before arriving as you will want it to her things from the store and to reserve gear from the camp. The response time from when we ordered materials from the app to when the camp hosts arrived with itwas very short. The camp hosts were also very friendly and very wonderful to deal with. Evenings were nice and quiet, which is always a blessing when tent camping. I would definitely consider a return trip.
First time going very nice campground. A lot of activities for the kids to do. It was HALLOWEEN weekend so trick or treating they had was nice. Crafts for the kids and adults cost money but that was fine. The location was goos but not a lot of stores near by only dollar general and tractor supply but over all experience nice defently will be going back.
