This campground exceeded our expectations! It wasn't fancy or new-but provided us with a large back in space towards the front of the property. Opposite us were trees and cabins and behind us was a ridge overlooking tent camping sites. It is located on a beautiful area of Saugerties close enough to both Woodstock and Saugerties. The roads and spaces were gravel. There was a pool and an area to walk the dogs. The young lady in the office was very accommodating! I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again! read more

I have taken the time to write a review about this business. I was super excited to go camping and this location looked nice. My family and I stayed over the weekend to experience kaaterskill but that was ruined. Melanie is a real piece of work. Maybe running a business isn't for you. The way you speak and handle situations is disgusting. This isn't our first time camping just our first time at Blue Mountain and will never be returning there again. We know how to follow rules and regulations but rules can be switched up at any time on how Melanie feels or if you aren't white. A policy was given to us stating quiet time is at 11 pm. Why did Melanie and Tony come to our campsite at 8 pm? To turn off the music. There's a way to speak to people and clearly, they both don't understand that. How else would you think a customer will respond to being spoken to like an animal? That was settled we turned off the music and moved into the woods to have a campfire and share stories. They came back again like a swat team. Tony was giving us a fair warning and Melanie hopped out of the golf cart screaming out profanity in front of young children. I thought this was a family campsite? After a point, we all had enough and will defend ourselves. You can tell how prejudice they are. After they left the campsite they stayed up in the dark by the bathrooms watching us. Talk about purge vibes. I felt so uncomfortable I send out my location to a few of my family and friends. The following morning Melanie goes up to my aunt saying "when are you leaving?" Great way to start the morning. We had reservations till Tuesday. She continued saying we had an hour to pack up and go. A family of 50 with small children, older adults, and young adults. The police did come and told us they were called because we refused to leave. Funny enough we were packing our belongings leaving regardless due to what happened the night before. The officer even said take your time and left. And if you thought that was over we got charged a fee "Leaving campsite dirty" we left it cleaner than when we arrived. read more

Blue Mountain Campground - Campgrounds Near Me - Saugerties, New York

The owners are very rude and unprofessional, especially Melanie. Truly a horrible experience, my family was treated like animals because of their broken English. The owners told us we had an hour to pack up our stuff, being a group of 50 people with kids it's impossible. So they called police before our hour was even up. The police officer left after five minutes and told us to take our time packing. The owners even went as far as locking the bathrooms claiming it was "in maintenance". It was only after trying to reason with them because we have kids who need to use the restrooms before a 3 hour car ride did they unlock the restrooms. What kind of business locks bathrooms on PAYING CUSTOMERS? Completely unnecessary. Will never come here again. read more

Good campground but yes a little tight for the tenters. Do expect this to be family friendly if quiet is more your preference... and also expect there to be noise on a holiday weekend ANYWHERE you go. Nevertheless, the best part of this campground is affordability and friendly , helpful staff. I was pretty impressed how well maintained their bathroom/showers were. read more

Bottom line: Don't come without a car. Come midweek or during off-season. I had a negative experience but I can't blame that on the owners or the campground itself. First, the good: it's a clean and well maintained campgrounds and the owners are friendly and attentive. My friend and I never had trouble finding a staff member when we needed help. As advertised, the area is beautiful and there are tons of trails and things to do nearby... if you have a car. Because there are no nearby towns, it gets very dark and we were able to see the Milky Way from the campground, a pleasant surprise. Next, the neutral: yes, the tent lots are very, very close together. But if you come during mid-week or in the off-season, as we did, the place is fairly empty, which is great. We had the place to ourselves. Nevertheless, there are too many tent lots and I wouldn't want to be there when it's busy. It isn't particularly quiet even with no other campers: you can hear sound from the nearby roads, farm machinery, lawnmowers, etc. Now for the negative, which is more about the overall experience. We found this place because it was supposedly accessible by bus and we didn't have access to a car. We live in NYC where owning a car is more trouble than it's worth. My friend spoke to the owners beforehand and did the research so I can't speak to what was said, but first of all, the bus did not drop us off at the campsite (some bus drivers will make a stop there, some won't, it's up to chance). We had to hitch a ride to the campground, and to be safe, when we left we called a car to take us to the bus stop in Saugerties. Warning: there is no Uber, Lyft, etc in this area. While it's true that there are many trails and attractions within a few miles of the campground, none of them is accessible on foot unless you feel like walking Route 32 for 4 hours. You MUST have a car. And this is where local car services come in to charge you an arm and a leg, if they even have drivers available at all. Again, I won't name names and I don't know who said what to whom, but my friend believes he was told the cab fare to the nearest trail (4 miles, 15 minute drive) was roughly $10-15, yet the car service asked for $45 each way which is preposterous. That $90 round trip to the trailhead, by itself, would be more than we would have paid to rent a car ourselves for 3 days. So we didn't pay it and didn't get to see the trails at all. Oh, and did I mention many of the car services there close for the night at 6pm? This was all very upsetting for us. Getting to and from camp was more difficult than expected, and once there, we couldn't do anything because we couldn't get anywhere. If we had known this was the deal, we would have rented a car in NYC and driven and had 1000X better time. But I can't fault the owners for that. Lessons learned for next time. I felt it was important to write this review in case other city slickers are considering this place as a car-free option. It's not. read more

Overpriced for shitty quality!! WIFI is NOT included by the way; you have to pay extra. Other than the bathrooms being clean, other amenities were practically useless. When we saw the place had laundry machines, we assumed it was included with the EXPENSIVE per-night-charge but NOPE, we had to pay for laundry there (as it was raining and we needed to dry some of our stuff). Our tent was rained on and we needed an extra tarp. When we asked them for one, they said they had an extra but we would have to pay $50 for it. WTF? Why couldn't you kindly let us borrow the tarp for the night? This whole thing is just a business to them and they find opportunities to make money (even when you run into trouble) The staff was not the friendliest. Also the pool was DISGUSTING. Don't trust the google pictures. The whole place is cramped with cabins, tents, RVs and everyone's cars. No room for privacy at all. You can definitely find cheaper campgrounds elsewhere. read more

Seen my Google review has been hidden so the public eye don't see it now I'll be going on all platforms showing what a disappointment the campground is As you can see how the owners of this business respond to any low rating review with aggression& sarcasm. Their favorite line is"thank you for taking the time to respond but if you're going to tell the story tell the story right". Worst experience ever and the customer service here is trash just like this location. Bathrooms are barely cleaned and let's be reminded we are still in a pandemic it should be cleaned frequently. You can tell and feel prejudiced vibes. And to clear up the story the owners were harassing us since yesterday8/8/2021. God forbid we were having a good time. Came to our campsite to shut the music off by 8 mind you quiet time is 11 pm see attachment. Tony came over to let us know we were a bit loud and Melanie came abruptly using profanity in front of the children. We all went to sleep and were uncomfortable in how she spoke to us. This morning she came out of no where and asked when we were leaving. We had reservations till Tuesday8/10/2021. She said we were kicked off and needed us to leave within an hour. We're a large group with small children. The police understood that and didn't give us a hard time. We weren't escorted out. They agreed with us and told us to take are time. I really wish I can upload videos*** Dont recommend this location read more

Nice location near and clean but small campground. Nothing expect much. Staff members are nice.

Extremely rude, as soon as I pulled they were cursing out some lady calling a dumb ***** for using their space to make U turn. The street was a very busy two way street and they should be more understand for something so little. Extremely unprofessional. read more

In love with the campground! The owners are super chill and welcoming. I've gone up for every Memorial Day weekend since 2019. While the campsites are a bit close together you honestly won't care. The owners set up events to bring the campground together like karaoke. We end up making friends every year with other campers. I love the fact that they have full private bathrooms. Listen the bathrooms are cleaned daily but it's a campground the floors are going to get dirty throughout the day. If you can't handle a little dirt why are you camping? The grounds are clearly cared for. They have a set up for children which is a nice pool, game room, and playground. There is a laundry room on site but I haven't had to use it. The owners are willing to help you with basically any problem as long as they are able too. They do try to stick to a tight quiet time at 11pm but if you keep your music low and are respectful to the other campers around you all is well. There are some cool hikes in the area but you will need a car to get there and if you feel like taking a small drive you can check out Woodstock as well. I can't wait to go back up next year! On a side note, I read other reviews that say the owners are racist and rude. Our group had two people of color and they were welcomed with open arms and never felt any type of negativity. Nor have they made any racist remarks in any of the years I had come to this campground. read more

Don't come in a large group unless you plan to sit around in silence. We were told quiet hours were at 11pm and then they came over to ask us to be quiet at 8:30pm. Following day we planned to leave because we were so unhappy with our experience and our group of 50 was asked to pack up and leave in an hour or the cops would be called. How do you expect a group that big with so many little kids to pack up and leave in just an hour. Police came and reasoned with us because there was no reason for them to be called we simply needed more than an hour to clean up for such a big group but the owners want to lie and say we had to be escorted by the police. AND they locked the bathrooms claiming we deserved this?! what type of people lock the restrooms on a family with kids. Horrible horrible experience I repeat don't come here unless you want to sit in silence and your money stolen. Please don't be fooled by the good reviews because they delete/report all their bad reviews. Truly a shame read more

Absolutely will never come here. I called today to ask how they accomodate guests who would be arriving around 1 or 2 am due to traveling far. She said "that's tough, wouldn't be able to because someone would have to give you a key to the cabin. And also, coming in that late you'd be disturbing other campers". Excuse me? So how do you accomodate people who have no other choice, or if their car broke down or are going to be very late? Unbelievable how unprofessional she was, and I come up here often, but I will gladly take my service elsewhere! Also, great to know you don't have someone there for supervison 24/7. You just lost out on a few customers by saying that to me. Thanks for the heads up! read more

We were there for one night. It was a nice place. It's pretty small, so the sites are close to each other, but it wasn't noisy or annoying. The owner took the time to change my reservation last minute, and they were easy to work with. They have a small game room and bathrooms with hot and cold running water. Overall it was a great experience. read more

This is one of the nicest campgrounds I've been to & I've been camping all my life (I'm almost 60). It has a very warm, friendly family atmosphere. Very clean and maintained. Ideal for both family and adult-only camping. There is a great selection of sites for campers or tents. There are also cabins for rent. The cabins house up to 4 people with WiFi and cable TV and small electric stoves to keep warm during the chilly periods. The camper sites offer direct connection to the septic system so there is no need to pump out during your stay. There's a nice play area for kids, a small game room, pavilion with weekend and holiday entertainment, a place to get breakfast and lunch, a camp store and a coin operated laundry. The location is close to many attractions and hiking trails. I can't wait to come back again next year! read more

If you are a tent camper who likes privacy or peace and quiet ... this is not the place for you. We drove 4 1/2 hours to stay in the area for the holiday weekend, And ended up overpaying for a much nicer site at a different campground. The tent sites were VERY small and right on top of each other. There were more cars packed in these sites than tents, and sooo many people. Lots of smokers and loud music. We were given a choice of 3 different sites, but none of them were even remotely ok. As we drove through the "loop" it reminded me of a big tailgate party for an outdoor concert, or a NASCAR race. Not the ideal spot to come back from a long day of hiking and unwind. Between the tent loop and the DJ in the "common area" blaring Kid Rock, we stayed long enough to use the wifi to find another site, and let the girl at the front office know we would not be staying. I was mostly disappointed because I had called twice to make sure that there would be ample room for two tents, two cars, 3 adults, a child and a dog. They assured me that there was .... there was barley enough room for one tent. Clearly they were more concerned about taking my money, rather than making sure we were comfortable. So $90 for the first site that we didn't stay in, plus $160 for the other site, not a "happy camper". read more

Based on the arrogant response, I can see you have no people skills. He was never told about those fees and the fact that you charged a fee the very same day shows poor business ethics. You didn't try to rectify several times so get your facts straight. I would also like to know where on your website does it say there is a $50 fee? I looked at your full list of rules and policies and there is no mention of the fee. Honestly, my issue isn't about the $50, it's the unprofessionalism. And after reading other reviews, clearly it's not just me that finds your business being run unprofessionally. read more

Stayed a weekend here with a few friends and it was great! The staff was really willing to help us get the site we wanted, and the campground was really well maintained. All around great people and will come back for sure before summer ends :) read more
