Willowemoc Campgrounds

Since the change in ownership, we have witnessed a significant decline in the quality of service and the overall environment. The recent price increases, coupled with the behavior of some staff members, have created a challenging atmosphere for families like ours. We have encountered instances of rudeness and comments that felt disrespectful, particularly towards our non-speaking autistic daughter. It was disheartening to overhear staff express that they wouldn’t want our daughter to be the first thing someone sees upon entering the campground. This was not only hurtful but completely contrary to the welcoming environment we experienced with the prior owners. Our family, which includes a Puerto Rican background, has cherished this campground for generations. My husband grew up visiting Willowemoc, and with our daughter we were continuing that legacy. However, the current situation is unacceptable. Despite our daughter's remarkable growth and progress during our time there, it seems we have been deemed not the "right fit" for the campground. Additionally, the lack of amenities and safety issues with the roads and bridges have made our experience even more concerning. We have sought to address these matters with management, but our complaints were met with the revocation of our contract instead of a constructive response. It is disappointing to see the campground in its current state, especially with so many open sites available. We have now relocated to another campground that, while more expensive, offers exceptional amenities, caring staff, and well-maintained grounds. If there was a desire to restore Willowemoc’s reputation and attract families, it would benefit from a more inclusive and respectful approach to community feedback rather than retaliating against those who share their concerns.

With the new management/owner seasonal price was raised $700. Pool was opened by July 4, 2024 instead of Memorial Day Weekend. Basketball court isn't up yet as well. And now they want to raise the price up again another $900? You should be ashamed of yourselves! Many families who have been at Willowemoc for decades have permanently left the campgrounds. You guys even lie and tell your tenants that you have a list of people/families waiting for a spot when there are more than 20 spots open (and counting). This is the way you guys do business?! You demand more and demand for payments to be on time (God forbid we are an hour late on a payment) and yet you expect us to give you until the July 4th to open the pool to our children? And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Many tenants had their propane tanks filled before the end of the season last year and came back this season to empty tanks this year. Service is horrible across the board. Don't even let me get started with the lady in the front.......

This is our home away from home for the last 9 years! Such a great community here! Great People! LGBTQ+ Friendly Environment! I love this place! New owners recently took over. Looking forward to the upgrades/events they offer for this season!

We stayed in T06 wooded site. This site provided a very private feel. The campsite was well equipped with bathrooms in walking distance, showers near the vegetal store. There is a nice size pool, volley ball net. This place is a RV abd tent site. The tent sites are in a separate area which I liked. Dispite what some other reviews mentioned about unmarked sites we did not have that experience. We arrived after closing in the dark abd were able to get to our site which was clearly marked. My family, dogs and girls loved this place. This place gave the perfect next step for my young girls to enjoy tent camping. All the convenience of a commercial place with the privacy of campgrounds in the sticks. Clean facilities. Don't hesitate you will not be disappointed.

Go camping here, every summer, for the last 10 years. This was my family’s thing to do, which was always affordable and fun. In the last year, the owners changed. I was there this weekend for 4th of July celebrations-as I’ve been every year for the last 10 years- and was extremely disappointed in the treatment I received from the NEW owners. Understandably, the new owners have created new rules. However, these “new rules” seem to only be applicable when Hispanic/latino. Shameful.

This is my husband‘s and I third year camping at Willowemoc, we love it! When we arrived three years ago, the community welcomed us right away. There’s fishing, swimming in the creek or the swimming pool, a game room for the kids, and basketball courts. There’s a little something for every mood. I personally enjoy the beautiful trails and the feeling I feel when surrounded by nature. We will continue camping here as long as we can.

Been camping or “glamping” here for a few years now in our seasonal RV. My family and I enjoy it very much. The campground is in a gorgeous Catskills location and the workers along with seasonal campers keep it feeling like a family of one. We don’t tent, but all tenters we’ve met seem to love it as well. I’d say my favorite aspect of the campsite is how everyone looks out for one another, like a big extended family. If you love the outdoors, you won’t be disappointed!

35 years …. Well about to be , my Birthday is the 18th. That’s how old I will be and how long I’ve been at Willowemoc Campgrounds . The memories that I have made here will forever be cherished . We have gone through some changes over the past couple of years with new ownership , that’s to be expected and I’m getting used to it . Jeanie is sweet and is trying her best to make things nicer around the place , things take time . Have you seen the game room and bathrooms ?!!!! LOOKS GREAT! FEELS FRESH! Take a look for yourself . As far as the price . It’s currently competitive , you’re not going to find a nicer campground in the area for the price that we currently pay . Hopefully the rent doesn’t get too out of budget for me as I look forward to making more cherished memories for years to come . I’m not ready to let go

I have been camping here my whole life. It is a home away from home for me. And the people here make it feel like family. New ownership took place and it’s been a transition. A new dynamic that has been positive. Looking forward to many more camping years here.

We love Willowemoc Campgrounds. My family and I have been coming here since I was a baby. It’s such a relaxing environment where you can spend your time enjoying nature and all the Catskills has to offer, wether you enjoy hiking, fishing or just hanging out in the yard. It feels more like a community than just a campground and will always be one of my favorite places to go
