Conveniently located a little over an hour from NYC. Campsite was not leveled. Did some kayaking with my son and spent a few hours at the beach. Nice and quiet on a Monday, We had the beach to ourselves early in the morning.

Nice campground close to the city. Enjoyed the short walk around the pond. You can hear cars passing by, but it's fine for a night or two.

Good campsite, nice staff, nice washrooms, good price. Close to highway so there's always car noises so that could be an issue if that bothers you.

Fahnestock State Park Campground offers a very peaceful and safe camping ground for novice and experts alike. Stayed for 2 nights in the campground and surprisingly with good amenities. The bathroom and shower rooms (with hot water) are well kept and that’s the only place you can get electricity from (if you need to charge your electronics and all). There is also a place where you can wash your dishes right next to the restrooms. Each camp site has its own table, fire pit and grill to use. The hike around the camp site is fairly easy to do with beautiful foliage (visited fall of 2022) with the good view of the lake and ponds. Would have been better to have more restrooms and shower rooms to use.

This campsite #9 was very remote and perfect for our group. Thankfully there were no neighbors because the set up otherwise would have been a little awkward since you would have to walk through other campsites to get water or go to the bathroom. The bathrooms are pretty nice and are heated. Two stales and two showers.

Nice campground and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay during fall. The guy I spoke to on the phone at customer service allowed us to stay at a site even though we arrived early for our scheduled date. Very nice guy, he answer phone even late at night. We will definitely come back.
