About

Located in southeastern Columbia County, Taconic State Park's Copake Falls campground spans part of the park's 5,000+ acres along an 11-mile border with Massachusetts and Connecticut. The campground provides over 100 sites including ground and platform tent sites, approximately 30 trailer-capable sites (up to 26 feet, no hookups), and various cabin options ranging from rustic Bash Bish cabins to the more amenity-rich Greenwich cottages with wheelchair accessibility. Centralized restroom and hot shower facilities serve all camping loops. Each campsite includes a picnic table and fire ring with grill. The park features Ore Pit Pond swimming beach with an adjacent wading pool, playground, and access to extensive hiking trails including routes to the iconic Bash Bish Falls across the state line. The Harlem Valley Rail Trail passes through for biking, and winter brings cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and 5 miles of snowmobile trails. Camping reservations are made through ReserveAmerica up to 9 months in advance. Check-in is between 3 PM and 9 PM, with a maximum stay of 14 consecutive nights. A vehicle entrance fee of $8 applies during staffed hours.
