There are so many fantastic family day hike trails in the Catskills. We have done these:…read more1.Overlook Mountain (awesome old hotel from 1800s on the way up to the fire tower - amazing views) 2. North Point (near North/South Lake Campground) 3. Mount Tremble (on Slide Mountain - we saw a copperhead rattlesnake!) 4. Overlook Mountain 5. The Giant Ledge And there are MORE that we want to hike. So much FUN! Good for kids and adults. You can make the hikes as long or short as you like. Find a local campground close to the trails you want to enjoy. *There is Buttermilk Falls which requires a permit (FREE) you can reserve online on a Monday because they go FAST! Hike then spend the rest of the day swimming in a natural DEEP BLUE HOLE (pool) - people bring all sorts of fun floaties.

Its the only "visitor center" posted on some wood or something on that parkway. I know I shouldn't share this with random readers, but I have to explain it for you guys to understand why I reviewed it. I have a weird thing for rest stops and 24/7 gas stations no matter where it is. I have no idea why. Maybe its b/c time seems to fall back at rest stops, or the fact that you stop there in transit and it becomes a community of drivers in one, creepy location. Whatever the reason, I love stopping at these places. So anyone as odd as myself, I had to share. Okay this is no ordinary rest stop. First, if you need to use the john don't bother going here b/c they have port-a-pottys and they do not smell "potty". This is for the sheer enjoyment of going to a random linkin log place in the middle of Rockland County, and saying "hey, I could use a shiny rock." Also, this place closes early. I think 6. Alright so there is the most RANDOM load of fun filled crap here. It's like a local street fair from 1987 threw up here and nobody bothered to clean it up. Finger traps, rock shiners, an assortment of rocks, camoflage toilet paper on a ROLL, candy that belongs in a museum..It's awesome here. It's bizarre and so creepy, but it was friggin super. I think I even bought a couple of rocks (I'm a science nut; what do you want from me?). Anyway, everytime I pass that place I feel like I'm hitting the twilight zone because it sure as hell isn't 2007 over at that joint. CHECK IT OUT!!!!!!

The…read morebathrooms and showers were meticulous, and every campsite in loop 4 was flat and well-maintained, perfect for any tent. While we were here, we saw staff removing tree roots that were impeding the campsite next to ours. I also appreciate that the DEC drives around and ensures that campers are abiding by the fire and bear safety rules and wish that other NYS parks did the same. 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!

I don't normally write reviews especially a negative one. We had a very upsetting experience at…read moreNorth-South Lake. We drove over two hours to visit my husband's childhood campground for the first time with our three kids (ages 5, 7, and 9). When we arrived at the entrance, we were asked if it was a day visit, and we said yes, we were only staying for the day. We paid the fee, received a map, and drove in. My husband was so excited to finally share this place and create memories with our children. Looking for a place to park, we thought we were lucky to find an empty campsite in one of the loops where he used to camp as a child. We parked the car hoping to enjoy the view of the lake, take a walk, and maybe make the kids a couple of s'mores before heading home. At around 2:15-2:30 p.m., the "SUPERVISOR" in the white Kia approached us in an extremely rude and nasty manner, speaking as if we were committing a serious crime and comparing our situation to "sleeping in someone else's hotel room." She asked us if we had a reservation; we said no. She said, "Someone else reserved this spot." We were very apologetic, embarrassed, and immediately put our stuff in the car. I said they could have told us; we would have moved right away. I'm sorry. She said, "They aren't supposed to talk to you; that's why they send me here." She told us we had ten minutes to leave, waited there while we put our chair, blanket, and s'more cookies in the car, and refused our 9-year-old daughter access to the bathroom while we packed up our three things, and even followed us out of the loop to make sure we didn't park elsewhere. My daughter came to us crying because the lady told her she couldn't use the bathroom and had to get in the car. Well, she had an accident in the car right as we were pulling out. We were mortified and apologetic. My husband even offered to leave the firewood we had just purchased for the next campers, but she was dismissive and harsh about that as well. The following day, I called and asked to speak with a manager to explain how we were treated. The manager was just as unfriendly and miserable sounding as the supervisor. I was told they had been looking for us "for hours" and that it's "common sense" not to park in a campsite. She actually said it's considered trespassing. So, a friendly warning for first-time visitors: Apparently, if you don't know that "day use" doesn't mean "park in any empty campsite," just for the day, you're officially a trespassing criminal--at least according to the manager. Yes, really. Reading the website now, I see that check-in for people with reservations is at 2 p.m., which was the time we were trying to make a small fire, so unless someone left their site and returned, it's unclear how they could have been looking for us "for hours." We were right there at 2pm. The website also states: Day Use * Anyone who is not camping is a day-user. Day-use hours are from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Day-users are not allowed between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. We were not camping but didn't realize we couldn't park in an empty campsite. I think "common sense" would be to inform DAY USE visitors at the ENTRANCE to use public parking, especially for families or first-time visitors who may not be camping experts. Bottom line: this was my husband's childhood family spot. We just wanted to take a beautiful fall drive and have a special day with our kids. We understand now that we needed to reserve the parking spot ahead of time, and it was an honest misunderstanding. I would have even offered to pay for the campers' stay for their trouble. What we wish for is that the staff had approached us respectfully and explained the situation instead of treating us like criminals. Imagine being such a miserable person and working in such a BEAUTIFUL and peaceful place for families. This was meant to be a special family day, honoring memories of my father-in-law and creating new ones with our children. Instead, it became stressful and humiliating. Sadly, this is what our children will remember about the day and about North South Lake The photo is the space we took up and the stuff we had with us. Lol

I made our reservation over the phone and we were told we would get a site with a deck. We did not. We arrived after dark and it was hard to identify our site and the fact that we did not the kind of site we were "sold" did not help. Better signage to help identify sites would be good. We were just finishing a 2000 mile roadtrip so we've seen a few bathrooms and this was hands down the worst of all of them. The showers were not private and there wasn't a clean space to leave your supplies. There are two types of showers - stalls outside of the main bathhouse and two stalls inside. The stalls outside are not full doors - think bathroom stall doors - and someone could easily look in and see you showering. The inside stalls are across from each other with the door to the exterior across. Think a letter T - shower at each end of the top of the T and the door to the exterior at the bottom of the T. You undress in the common area just outside the stalls. There's nowhere clean really to put your clothing and if someone opened the door, they'd see you and all God gave you. Though I do not expect the Taj Mahal when I am camping, when I am paying to stay at a campground, especially one that caters to "glamping," I do expect some privacy. I did not feel comfortable with the shower situation and we elected not to stay another night. When this was presented to the office attendant the next morning, she was extremely rude. She did ultimately refund the money for a second night minus 3.9%. I hope that Treetopia has some upgrades in store for their shower facilities, especially if "glamping" is going to be their niche.

I wasn't sure what to expect so it was a bit of luxury hotel shock or the lack of for me. I'm used to staying at nicer franchise hotels but for the price I paid at this B&B it def was a good value. The rooms have double beds so for the price I paid it was insanely dirt cheap when split with my friend who room shared with me. So based on the price I paid I can't say this place was bad and what my hiking team needed was pretty much a bed and pillow for the night. Snowed Inn provides just that, bed & pillow for a quick rest. Upper levels have rooms with shared bathroom and shower room. They do offer free wifi and the rooms have really bad decor but if you can look past the bad decor and outdated feel of the place it truly does have value for what you pay. The old lady that was running it the night I stood, presumably the owner, was super nice. Lower level has coffee, cereal and very minor amenities. So if you are in the area and just need a quick night or two to rest then this place can fit the bill. If you plan on being out in the Catskills for more than 2 days I'd probably find someplace a bit nicer if that's what you need (based on your personal preferences/luxury requirements). Would I stay here again? Absolutely!
