KOA Kamp Green Recognition
KOA Kamp Green Recognition
This KOA meets the established criteria to become a greener campground operation and is recognized by the "Kamp Green" icon.
Open year round, eighty miles northwest of New York City on 70 scenic acres, the Deerpark KOA is close enough for a visit to the Big Apple, yet a wonderful retreat in itself.
The new owners of this campground take pride in the peaceful, wooded setting along the historic Neversink River. Deerpark KOA has full hookup, pull-through sites, secluded tent sites, Camping Cabins & new family bathrooms.
Enjoy free Wi-Fi & plenty of activities at the campground, with a peaceful fishing pond, river tubing, bike and paddle boat rentals, driving range, and heated pool. Guests love the sand volleyball court, and new pet area. On weekends, families can join in themed activities, including arts/crafts, scavenger hunts, creative competitions, and music.
Discover miles of hiking trails next door at the 550-acre nature preserve. Hot air ballooning, canoeing & kayaking trips are also nearby. Small towns with unique shops dot this celebrated region nestled among the Catskills, the Poconos & Delaware Water Gap.

Campground Activities
Fishing
EVERY DAY! We are a fisherman's dream getaway. Cast your line in our stocked fishing pond or (with permit) test your skills in the famous, state-stocked Neversink River (find rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout; smallmouth bass, carp, sucker, bluegill, and more!)
River Tubing
EVERY DAY! Now this is something you don't get to do every day - a little bit of adventure and a lot of fun! The children will have no trouble writing about "What I did on my summer vacation!" Tubes available for purchase at camp store.
Biking
EVERY DAY! This is a family favorite at the Deerpark KOA. Enjoy the pleasure of wheeling your way around our exquisite hills and trails. Chase the shadows of the pines, listen for the birds, and keep a keen eye out for the deer hidden in the woods! Rentals Available.
Fun Cycles
EVERY DAY! Fun Cycles will quickly become your children's favorite wheel toy. They will come home boasting about their new Fun Cycling places and hard won races. Meanwhile, you get to know that they are having the safest biking experience possible! Rentals available.
Paddle Boating
EVERY DAY! Are you torn between allowing yourself a day of pure relaxation or getting some healthy exercise? Paddle all your cares away in one of our paddle boats and have the best of both activities! Our spring fed stream is home to painted turtles, duck and goose families, and even cute muskrats surface at times. Boat under the bridge or picnic on 'Duck Island' for a family affair. Rentals available.
Hiking
EVERY DAY! 70 scenic acres of our own to explore, and ask us about the beautiful walking trails available at the nearby Neversink Nature Conservancy, which has hundreds of acres of pristine conservation!
Heated Pool
EVERY DAY! It's always great fun to watch the children's faces when they first see pool. Water play brings out the joy in all of us, and our heated swimming pool is never too cold and never too warm. It's J-u-u-u-u-u-u-st right!
Sand Volleyball
EVERY DAY! This is definitely a camp favorite. Everyone gets to join in the fun and has a chance to ace the serve, spike at the net, assist a teammate, or dive for a dramatic save. Life is good!
New Giant Jumping Pillow
EVERY DAY! We open the 2011 Season with the wonderful Giant Jumping Pillow and with brand new playground facilities soon to come!
Train Rides
EVERY DAY! Your children will enjoy a Train Ride all around the campground, allowing them to see all the beautiful places for exploring to peek at the geese and ducks and creatures of the woods!
Badminton
EVERY DAY! A classic camp game of skill. This is one of those games that bridges the generation gap. Your younger family members might very well give your more "seasoned" players a run for their birdie!
Horseshoes
EVERY DAY! Ask a serious player and he'll say that there's no horsing around in this game. It's a serious game of skill and can bring out the competitive spirit in young and old alike.
Tetherball
EVERY DAY! Make no mistake, this is not a game for the fainthearted! Make sure you have a good breakfast before you challenge anyone to a round of tetherball!
New Pet Area
EVERY DAY! We want your pets to have as much fun as you do! No need to leave your cuddly furry family members at home. They have their own little park at the Deerpark KOA !
