For Our Adventurous RVers: Your Home-on-Wheels in the Heart of Upstate NY!
You’ve got the spirit of the open road and your own cozy haven! Here’s how to ensure your RV adventure at Copake is smooth, relaxing, and full of cherished moments:
- Campsite Comfort & Coziness: Your RV site is your outdoor living room! Make it inviting with your favorite folding chairs for relaxing under the stars, a portable outdoor rug to define your space, and some ambient string lights for a warm, welcoming glow. A good cooler for extra drinks and snacks is always a great idea.
- Kitchen & Campfire Creations: Your RV kitchen is ready for action, but enhance the outdoor experience! Think reusable water bottles, a trusty coffee thermos for crisp morning air, and all the ingredients for s’mores – a camping tradition! If you love cooking outside, bring your portable grill or campfire cooking tools.
- Outdoor Exploration Gear: Copake is surrounded by beautiful scenery. Pack comfortable walking shoes or light hiking boots for exploring the resort grounds or nearby trails. A backpack is handy for day trips, and your camera is a must to capture the beauty of the Hudson Valley/Berkshires region.
- RV Readiness Check: Before you hit the road, a quick check ensures a hassle-free arrival. Confirm your water hose with a pressure regulator, sewer hose, and appropriate electrical adapters are easily accessible. Check your tire pressure and ensure your tanks are ready for your arrival.
- Entertainment & Relaxation: Don’t forget the fun! A deck of cards, your favorite board game, or a good book can make evenings even more enjoyable.

- Entertainment for All: Pack some board games, card games, or puzzles for family bonding time in the cabin. For younger guests, coloring books or small craft kits can be great for downtime.
- Personal Touches: What makes a vacation truly yours? Maybe it’s your favorite bath bomb for a relaxing soak, a special camera to capture those beautiful Upstate views, or even some small decorations to make your cabin feel extra festive.
General Essentials for All Copake Guests:
Weather Warriors: Upstate New York weather can change! Pack layers (t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, fleeces/hoodies) and a rain jacket just in case.
Bug Battlers: It’s nature, so be prepared! Bring plenty of bug spray (and maybe some after-bite cream).
First-Aid Fun: A basic first-aid kit for scrapes, bug bites, and minor aches is always a smart idea.
Light Up the Night: A flashlight or headlamp is invaluable for navigating after dark, whether to your RV or cabin.
