Be prepared, the trail down to the falls is very long and while its quite easy going down ,getting…read moreback up is a definitely a treck. It's so worth it though. If however you decide not to go down to the bottom, there is a viewing platform . The waterfall pressure/flow can vary depending on when you visit. Heavy after rain or less during the summer months. Swimming is allowed in the basin , the water is cold . The fall and parking are free in designated parking lots. There was a porta potty in tje lot we parked in. Not sure if there's one in each parking lot though. Don't park anywhere along the roads as you will get ticketed and/or towed. Arrive early aa the parking lots fill up quickly, especially on weekends. Personally I wouldn't do this trail on a rainy day especially if you're a beginner. Lots of stepping stones that can be slippery when wet. Other than that it's one of the most beautiful trails I've been on.

There was also a table at the entrance to the trails with a person who didn't have much knowledge of the trails nor falls?? Spent 75 minutes and was able to hike upper, mid and lower falls. The trail to the viewpoint is very short and easy to find. There was little water when I visited in mid- September and leaves hadn't to change colors yet. The trail to the falls is NOT marked very well after the initial 2 signs. Many on the trail said they continued on stairs (straight) that didn't go to the falls! If you want to just hike without the Falls as the end goal, then this park works for you. Lucky for me I received an advice from returning hikers who knew the park and advised me well :). The KF hikes are not long but are pretty steep... scrambling maybe required especially to get to the cove behind the upper falls. The trail split, to the bottom of the falls and to the mid- falls, is pretty close. So the view to the entire falls was worth hiking down to. The trail near the bottom of the falls is red rock stairs and well maintained. Parking was a gravel lot and was about 2/3 full. Enjoy!

This wasn't my first stay in a tipi, teepee, tepee, however you want to spell it, all are correct…read more It wasn't even my second time. It was my third magical stay in one of these cone shaped wonders which bring me so, so much peace. So, I guess you can say I'm a "tipi expert", comparatively speaking. A night's sleep in a tipi is certainly a very spiritual experience, one I believe everyone who is even the slightest bit a nature lover or even just a tad boho should definitely try! I completely understand they aren't for everyone, but if you're somewhat adventurous, I say it's an absolute must!! This tipi was made very well. The flooring was made of stone and pieced together perfectly as if it were grouted which was new to me. There were scattered pallets around the fire for relaxing, covered in faux fur throws as well as tree stump end tables, some with candles and naturally shed antlers. It was like my own home right here in the middle of NY state. Fresh towels were waiting, neatly folded on our cozy, comfy bed. The fire pit which is traditionally placed inside the tipi, in the middle, was very well constructed and safe. It was deeper than most I've seen, surrounded by larger stones around the perimeter. Small kindling wood peices were ready and waiting for us as were candles, matches and directions on how to care for the structure. The top of the tipi remained opened all night which I personally prefer for star-gazing and waking up naturally by the daylight. The flaps can normally be closed during rain or colder weather. There was a hammock located just feet away from the tipi. We spent the morning rocking along in nature, listening to the birds fly above and just staring at the tipi which has just given us an amazing nights sleep. The outhouse was a little ways down the trail and was the cleanest I've ever seen! Even the tp was folded into a tip! There's pump water for washing, even a mirror. No shower. Please consider that when booking. And if you're too chic for a little saw dust sprinkle after you do your business, stay elsewhere. On the way out we fed two beautiful horses and a couple chickens which for me just added to the experience. Have no fear, they're far enough away from camp base you won't smell them. They were extremely friendly and hay bails were there waiting. Please no people food! We took a drive around the massive property, 225 acres to be exact!! There were many secluded sites besides the tipi! I definitely see us coming back here, with the kiddos too! It was about 3 hours or so from Philly and was literally on our way to Canada. It's about 20 minutes from my favorite grocery store in Albany, Honest Weight which will have anything you may need. Note, there's not much directly around so come prepared. The closest coffee shop was about 15 minutes away. The land was very rural, but it's about 10 minutes down the hill to the highway, which you could not hear from the site. We had no interaction with anyone here as we arrived after dark, so if you're used to concierge and camp hosts, this isn't the place for you. You can leave your car lights on to set up or if you're like me and have lanterns in your car, one would come in handy at night as it's pitch black. Aka perfect. Jason was readily available for directions and any communication leading up to our stay which we booked through Airbnb. I have a coupon code for $35 off if you're interested, just inbox me. Even in the dark we really didn't have an issue finding our site, but it may be tricky for some. Stay patient and follow the signs. Siri doesn't know her way around the grounds. The Magic Forest also hosts trips and does composting, farming and other environmental projects daily. Check their site for more info! It's a very special space. I highly recommend this experience. Just for a night!

While we were here, we saw staff removing tree roots that were impeding the campsite next to ours.

There was SO much wildlife we saw just on the grounds - friendly deer, baby turkeys, and baby ducks. We were fortunate to have a few nights here without any neighbors and it was so serene and beautiful even in intense rain and fog. There are boat and canoe rentals on South Beach, and so many hiking trails that lead to breaktaking views. I really can't say enough good things about this campground and am already looking forward to our next trip here!

And I said - "listen darlin' - I'm traveling every road in this here land" And the machine that kills fascism started up in my head and sang songs of early Americana - my love of the land "Green Douglas furs where the water cuts thru - down Her wild mountains and canyons she flew - Canadian northwest and the oceans so blue" sing along now people "Roll On Columbia Roll On" - all as I'm watching little brownish grey fishies in seperate sunny huddled eddys, as if they're watching what's happening on land and perhaps waiting for a tired out mosquito to land. But ee were just looking to spend a night or two in the woods of the southern Catskills, not much more so we couldn't do it all - plus, thirteen hours of darkness now arrive around these parts in this time on the calendar (October 9tg) and just about 40* overnight with Big Phil and the new addition - Shrimp Scampi at the tender age of 15 months - one more makes a Three Dog Night - he's a stallworth young laddy passed his time chasing off all approaching fishermen and outgoing ATV's with ferociously - slightly alarming but new to the game of life, we'll just keep close watch and avoid the natives. The talk of The River permeates the crisp October air "but there's quite a few people over there" So I asked to see The Lake - we took the rig up and over rugged terrain and the lake sat perched up a twenty feet from the base campground Getting there bestowed Falls yearly yet short color splendor and grandur, the explosion of prime time foliage in the mountains. And there's something special about a swirl of fallen leaves - perhaps it's the tailspin behind us, wanting to follow but resetting instead as we rumble on. I quickly got a fire going, Marmot Limelight 2P, Vietnam Army cot, Yeti with all sorts of goodies and firewood both paid for then split with my Kelly Works axe. The ringing in my ear from the damn cellphone continually pounding and let's not leave out the grinding city rumble -- but it lightly lifted from off my soul with a bit of help from Veltins pilsner as the beer buzz began take hold - I only see Veltins upstate and not in all of these Catskill parts, so keep an eye out. Back to my beer and distractions within - I used the instructions frim my new Gillie Kettle to get my fire going as I'm not even slightly concerned about getting all 52 (inflated figure) pieces stacked and the fire going because I was going to cook a meal fit for coal miner's and accountants - a hearty thinking man's stew - but it didn't go according to plan and I got a bit miffed - so I did away with that process and put a steak on my BLACKSTONE 1650 because that's how I roll - always with backups for my backups. The thirty bucks for my campsite was fairly priced and I didn't tell y'all - I arrived on the final weekend before seasonal closing, just because I took a loopy wrong turn and I relooped it - but I'm thinking for a family with kiddos under 15, and during peak summer - this here spot is a real humdinger. For me, for what's it's worth, I'll just drive deeper into the woods - I can't say I'm a campground guy - but I respect it for what it is.

We were a little disappointment through. When we made the reservations back in March we had a choice of several sites. I asked for her recommendations for the best river site. She recommended R6 and it looked great on the map. When we arrived he told us R6 was not a great site and needed work. I'll say so......look at my photos of site R6. So we ended up across the street and down a few sites. See map in photos I attached. It was a mud pit even on the dry days. No grass or privacy. I asked if any of the concrete pad sites were available as I would pay to upgrade but he told us they were sold out. (However the one across from us was empty our entire stay.) The staff was very helpful and friendly. Not the fault of the campground but the family in the cabin by the river had a small dog that started barking at 6:30am through the day. It was annoying seeing them sit there next to the dog and let it bark.
