Also, there's no cell phone service which helps there. Every campsite has a fireplace (with a grill over it) to make a campfire and cook if you want to. There's a big, pretty lake within walking distance that you can take a hike around. There's a "beach" on one side with some sand over the dirt that you can go swim at if it's warm enough. You can rent canoes or bring kayaks. There's a great big playground with swings and some fun slides and other things in the middle of the campsites by the bathrooms. That all combines to have made this place a lot of fun for us and two other families to get together and do a combined getaway the last two years. It's one of the most fun trips we do each year as a family. The only possible downsides are: 1. The rangers are pretty serious about noise after hours. Even though we were the parents with sleeping kids that might be woken, up we got asked to keep it quieter when quiet time hit. Still, maybe that's missed blessing for those of us who do have kids that we need to sleep. 2. The only showers are a long-ish walk or drive down to the main building by the beach. Usually, we go for little enough time that we just don't worry about it though. Definitely a great spot to go for a long weekend with kids.

Happy Days Campground is a great Rustic Campground with tenting campsites as well as full hookups…read morefor RVs and campers at very reasonable rates ... The best thing, Happy Days is only 4 miles from one of the greatest attractions in New York ....Bethel Woods, the 69' Woodstock Concert Field and the historic Woodstock Museum (which is a must see... you'll thank me later). The campgrounds are covered in pine trees, so you awake to great, fresh smelling air. It's very clean. The showers, bathrooms and rec room were immaculate. I drove my RV here, but on the premises, you can rent well restored, classical 3-wheel campers for a minimal fee and spend the night in camping luxury (and instead of my gas guzzling RV, I'll bring my car next time, instead and still save).... Tim, one of the owners, is great. From his story, he had no intention of running a campsite. He was in corporate management. He came to Happy Days as a kid. When the woman who owned the site told him, he'd have to find another place to camp next year ... the wheels went into motion. This campsite is Tim and his brother's baby and the care and the high standards they have also shows in their appreciation of their customers ... and I'm sure that comes from having originally been a customer of the campsite. Make sure you make reservations in advance, especially when Bethel Woods has a concert planned for the weekend. I was going to stay an extra day but I waited too long. Booked for the Bethel Woods concert goers.

The additional $10 per day pay for a nice view spot is worth it. Our location is on the very top where we have a view of the mountain and the reservoir . This tiny cabin fits all the basic needs. Bed, kitchenette with cooking supplies , dining table, a small ref , stove top and toilet and shower with a view. A cute big window next to bed is the main attraction of the cabin. For two consecutive mornings, we stayed longer in bed and enjoyed the beautiful view from our window. During our nighttime stays , we truly enjoyed the campfire. Woods, starter and s'mores are supplied. I am still waiting if my credit card will be charged for these provisions . I read a review posted which was before Post Card Cabins was bought by Marriot that they hit a charge for these supplies plus for some snacks and drinks on the kitchen countertop . The Adirondack chairs outside are comfortable . The picnic table is perfect for a nice dining outdoor with a beautiful nature vibes. Our cabin area was so serene, we had a privacy as the next door cabin is hundred feet away from us. Western Catskills is a perfect location for us as our goal of coming here was to escape the city to relax and reset during the stay. If you have same goal, this kind of setting is recommended for you. This is your escape place.

We surely enjoyed the whole time that we stayed in this tiny cabin surrounded by nature with an…read moreamazing picture window that offers a scenic view. We reserved the place just in time for the autumn peak season in the area. The place was about 2.5-3 hours drive from where we live, the trip itself was delightful due to the colorful leaves on trees that we passed by. The charming retreat was easy enough to find with the help of GPS. There were several tiny cabins in the compound which were designated with names so that guest could easily find them. Cabins are far enough from each other to provide privacy for each separate guest. Be sure to drive slow when in the compound as the ground was a little rough. Each cabin guest has a designated parking spot which is neat. The cabin that we were assigned to has several outdoor stairs, a short walk from the parking spot to the cabin, cabin is situated on top of a hill which gives guest a nice view from the cabin. Outside of each cabin, they provided a fire pit, picnic table, 2 lounge chairs and fire logs with fire starters. For us to get in to the cabin, they provided us with a code so that we can electronically unlock the door. The cabin was cute and tiny but they have provided all the essentials which included a comfortable queen's bed, small table, mini-refrigerator, a kitchenette, two burner stove, coffee supplies, kitchen utensils, paper towels, complimentary smores kit, coat hooks, toilet paper, towels, body wash, conditioner, shampoo, flushing toilet, hot shower and a few more. You won't believe that all of it could fit in that cute cabin. They kept the cabin tidy and clean. The best thing that I love in the cabin is the large picture window, my wife and I had that feeling where we sort of just wanted to stay in bed, cuddle and stare at the nature outside the large picture window. In summation, my wife and I had a wonderful time at this tiny cabin compound, we had a peaceful campfire each night that we stayed, savored the tranquility of the place, took pleasure in touring the small town of Roscoe, admired the nearby reservoir, found joy in hiking some nearby trails, appreciated finding/exploring covered bridges and had fun visiting a nearby brewery. Our overall experience was relaxing, peaceful and an exceptional escape from city life, with minimal-to-no Wi-Fi or TV, which encourages disconnection and quietude. DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY RECOMMENDABLE !!!

Do you and your family a favor and move on to any other campsite…read more 1. The staff (if you can find them) are rude and want nothing to do with you or any issues you may come across. 2. The cabins are basically from 1784 and in rough shape. I'm all for a vintage setting, but leaks and the smell like something died is a bit over the top. 3.The guy in charge who tramples around like your presence is bothering him, completely lacks manners and acts like you and your family aren't even there. We didn't expect them to be overly social but at least acknowledge when someone waves or says hello. 4. This is not the establishment you want to visit if your expecting hot water with your showers. So yes it costs 25cents for cold showers. 5.I blame myself partly because I had an idea what we were in for right after the gate closed and we checked in. But you live and learn and this is one place that will never have to worry about getting our business again.

I'm giving this 4 stars because it's a really nice campground. The pluses outweigh the minuses, but…read morethere are some significant minuses. The pluses are that it's very pretty, and though it's beside a small lake or large pond (not sure which), it's not buggy. There are two distinct parts of it separated by a road. We stayed in the part next to the water. This is nicer in that the sites were more spacious and the rushing water was pleasant, and it's in a stand of huge pine trees, but the big minus is that it's far away from the only bathroom with running water and flush toilets. So far away that if you have dishes to wash or small children who can't walk that far a few times a day, you've got to drive. The compost toilet is within walking distance but there's no sink and it's only one toilet. The people who work there are nice (one of them helped me get air in my car tire), and it's low-key, unlike some other reviews of NY state campgrounds, the rangers didn't go nuts with their authority. No bears, too, a huge plus for me. Another minus is that it's a lot of driving to get there, from pretty much anywhere. It's quite a drive from Roscoe, and also it's a considerable drive to the two nearest towns, Walton and Downsville. But I have to say this was one of the prettiest and most pleasant campgrounds I've been to. The water from the spigots is spring water, so it was excellent. Loads of frogs, salamanders, birds (water birds too), so the kids were entertained. If you are a serious birder and camp, this is a good one for you. There's also a tiny beach to go swimming at, and kayaks and canoes to rent.
