    Macedonia Brook State Park - Beautiful

    This is a beautiful state park with 2300 acres of land. Parking is free. There are 10 miles of…read morehiking trails, including the Macedonia Ridge Trail, 51 campsites, and you can fish. Sone of the trails get you to views of the Catskills and Taconic mountains. There are a lot of streams, and lots of places for grills and cooking. The land once belonged to the Scatacook Tribe.

    Had the pleasure of staying at site 48 for my first camping experience! I can only speak of the…read moresite and the hiking trails. Site 48: There are lots and lots and lots of bugs. You will find flies of all shapes and sizes, mosquitoes, and spiders. This part isn't fun. But it's nature and it's expected. Make sure you load up on your bug spray. Other than that, you're given a fire ring, picnic table, and a pretty large space to back your car in so it's out of the road. The site is more or less secluded if you parked your car in the entrance. It's not fully shaded like it says online though. The latrine is suuuuper close by and so is the water spout. Definitely recommend this spot and will for sure be coming back to it. The trails: we hiked blue trail and it wasn't terrible but was totally not what I expected! There's tons of inclines and lots of climbing. If you're a hiking junky, you'll like it. If you're a first timer, I don't really recommend. And if you're a casual walker/hiker, you can give it a try but I personally don't think it's worth it. There are some slippery and rocky slopes. Other than that, I still enjoyed it but hear me out when I say it's not for the casual walkers!! The campground and park is overall well kept. The latrines don't smell awful in the day because of it's solar panel ventilation systems. Beware of it when the sun goes down. The water is safe to cook and drink. The staff maintaining the area is more or less nice. They have a very strict no alcohol and pets policy so don't let them catch you with either! And I repeat again DO NOT FORGET YOUR BUG SPRAY.

    This place has a lot of promise but they need to reconsider their approach. Formerly run as a…read moredenominational retreat the signs of its former life are evident throughout, from the religious accented decor to the approach of the staff. Clearly the management and personnel are more accustomed to a rules based hierarchical approach, and to deal with guests of a similar background. And the rules ... there are a lot of them. We had a rowdy bunch with us for sure and some of the kids could have been better behaved but the approach of staff left a lot to be desired. Can't recommend for folks of diverse background

    I'm not even giving this resort a star because it's the worst place you've ever stayed in your…read moreentire life. The director there Ron is the worst person ever he is not a people person he lies about things. And the stuff that you see on the website is not really there they have an old truck that's a food truck that's never open the whole time that we stayed there I think it was open one time. It was not open the whole summer we were there for almost a year we signed a contract with them and he decided to break that contract he gave us less than 30 days notice to leave the premises he only gave us four days our family did nothing wrong he accused my daughter of breaking into the gym and in our contract you can use the gym because we live there and there's really nothing to do there for kids they say they have all these activities they don't. Ron comes off as a nice person but he really is not when you first meet him you'll see his true colors if you want to have a great summer of camping mirror lake is not the place for you to go. They have a gaming room there which is for campers but the only time that the gaming room is open is when there is a large group of out of town people not there for the kids that actually stay there for long term. Worst experience in my life if you want to have fun go somewhere else. Bathrooms need to be updated they have a main dining hall that they say is for campers but again not used until big groups come in.
