Overall Rating 3 1/2 FDL
Type of Sites Leentos / Tents / Cabins Large variety of different types of shelters and sites.  Some of the cabins can be very rustic with pot belly stoves that may prove inadequate in very cold weather.
Easy to find? Yes Right off the Palisades Parkway, Stony Point exit.  Lots of signs.
Site Availability Generally OK Tents and Leentoos easy to get a site, out of Council units must wait a month before their scheduled trip to book a cabin.  Priority goes to in council units.
Can you drive to your site? No, central parking area Sometimes the ranger or campmaster will allow you to drive one vehicle to your site to unload troop equipment, depending on his mood.
Water Central water spigot. Either way, you are going to haul it.
Latrine Generally right in your site. A bit rustic, but in good repair.
Biggest Advantage Easy to get to.  
Secondary Advantage Moderate size camp, lots of variety The sites are not on top of one another, plenty of room for your scouting activities.
Primary Disadvantage Reservation policy for cabins. If you do one big cabin trip per year, waiting until one month before your trip can be a bit nerve wracking.  
Secondary disadvantage Watch for lots of Poison Ivy. Be careful in the Spring and the Fall.
