A Hudson Valley Autumn Harvest of Fun

Make a Final Summer Splash at Copake Camping Resort!

The calendar might say summer is winding down, but there’s still time to make a splash! Before the back-to-school rush begins, grab your family or your favorite travel partner and head to Copake Camping Resort in Copake, New York. This is your chance for an affordable, fun-filled getaway that proves the best memories are made in swimsuits and hiking boots, not in front of screens.

For families, this is the ultimate “yes” trip—saying yes to one more cannonball, one more ice cream cone, one more late-night story. For couples, it’s a chance to escape to the stunning beauty of the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires, trading city noise for the peaceful sounds of nature.

What Makes Copake Camping Resort Special?

Copake is a paradise for water lovers and families. While many campgrounds have a pool, Copake takes it to the next level with an incredible array of aquatic attractions. The resort’s special feature is its epic water-centric fun, including two large swimming pools, thrilling water slides, a dedicated kiddie splash pad, and a giant bouncy pillow for endless entertainment. It’s a guaranteed way to keep the kids happy and cooled off all day long.

Explore the Hudson Valley and Berkshires

Copake’s unique location places you at the crossroads of New York’s Hudson Valley and the Massachusetts Berkshires.

  • For Families: Besides the resort’s own fun, you can visit the nearby Catamount Mountain Resort for their Aerial Adventure Park, offering zip lines and ropes courses for a thrilling day in the trees.
  • For Couples & Nature Lovers: Go for a scenic hike to the majestic Bash Bish Falls, the highest single-drop waterfall in Massachusetts. Afterwards, explore the charming, artsy towns of Great Barrington, MA, or Hudson, NY, known for their fantastic boutiques, galleries, and farm-to-table restaurants.

Packing for Your Adventure

Get ready for action-packed days and relaxing nights.

  • Must-Haves: You’ll need plenty of sunscreen and a good supply of bug spray for those classic campfire evenings.
  • What to Wear: Swimsuits are the unofficial uniform at Copake! Also, pack comfortable shoes for exploring the towns and sturdy hiking boots for the trails. A light fleece or hoodie is perfect for when the evening air turns cool.
  • Fun Extras: Goggles for the pool, a waterproof phone case, and everything you need for a family BBQ.

Summer’s not over yet. Squeeze in one last dose of fun and book your getaway to Copake Camping Resort!
