Winding Hills Park campground
Winding Hills Park
The campground amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, and access to hiking trails. There are a total of 44 campsites, all of which are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, reservations can be made for group campsites.
An interesting fact about the Winding Hills Park Camping Area is that it was once a dairy farm owned by the prominent Orange County family, the Snyders. The Snyder family donated the property to the county in 1962, and it has since been turned into a public park and camping area.
The best time of year to visit the Winding Hills Park Camping Area is during the summer months, with average temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-80s. However, visitors can also enjoy the fall foliage in October when the leaves turn bright shades of red, orange, and yellow. Overall, the Winding Hills Park Camping Area is a fantastic place to escape from the city and enjoy the natural beauty of upstate New York.
