Catskills Campground Named One of the Best Glamping Destinations

A New York campground is getting national attention after landing near the top at number 2, on the 2026 list of the best glamping destinations in the country.

What Makes This New York Glamping Spot Stand Out

Located in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, Sun Retreats Birchwood Acres is a family-friendly destination that blends outdoor adventure with resort-style amenities.

Guests can stay in cozy cabins or traditional campsites while enjoying features like:

A fully stocked four-acre lake with fishing docks
Paddleboat rentals and waterfront access
An interactive water zone for kids
Pool, hot tub, and sauna
Outdoor theater, arcade, and sports courts

The campground is designed to create a mix of relaxation and entertainment.

Glamping and Yurts? These Are Not Your Grandfather's Camping Places. Very Cool!!

Can you imagine if your Grandad wanted to take you out for a weekend of camping and fishing. And you ended up "glamping"? Or, even better, sleeping in a Yurt? These are some of the best places to do just that in the Catskill Mountains. High-end camping (glamor camping) and creative yurts (a round tent) abound in the Catskill region and these are some of the best. We also threw in a couple of camping sites that let you spend your weekend in the vintage elegance of a classic Airstream travel camper. Check these out. Bucket list material.
