Welcome to the Catskill Mountains/Gilboa KOA Holiday!

Catskill Mountains/Gilboa KOA Holiday

The Most Scenic Campground in the Catskills — Voted “Most Scenic View in New York”

Set across 95 breathtaking acres in the heart of the Gilboa Mountains, the Catskill Mountains/Gilboa KOA Holiday offers one of New York's most unforgettable camping experiences. Built into five terraced mountain levels with sweeping views and direct access to the floatable Schoharie Creek, this gated campground blends natural beauty, family fun, and modern comfort in a way no other Catskills destination can match. Pets are always welcome, and your four-legged campers will feel right at home.

*Why Gilboa KOA Is the Best in the Catskills

~Unmatched Mountain Views
Recognized for having the Most Scenic View in New York, Gilboa KOA delivers panoramic mountain scenery from nearly every angle — sunrise to sunset.

~A Destination-Style Experience
This is more than a campground — it's a full outdoor experience with activities for every age:

  • Five exhilarating water slides
  • Swimming pool
  • Gaga ball, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes & cornhole
  • Playgrounds for kids to climb, swing, and explore
  • Themed weekends & family events
  • Karaoke nights & pavilion gatherings
  • Two dog parks + free dog wash
  • Fully stocked camp store & accessible restrooms
  • On-site laundry facility for guest convenience
  • On-site pizza & ice cream

Everything is designed so families can relax, play, and make memories without ever leaving the campground.

~Waterfront Relaxation
With private access to the Schoharie Creek, guests can tube, fish, or simply unwind by the water. Kayaking and boating on the creek are favorite guest activities, giving visitors an easy way to explore the peaceful mountain waterway right from the campground. A convenient boat wash and steaming station is also available, making it simple for boaters to clean up and gear up for their next adventure.

~Perfect Catskills Location
Surrounded by iconic attractions:

  • Blenheim Covered Bridge — a beautifully rebuilt landmark and one of the most photogenic covered bridges in New York, perfect for a scenic stroll or unforgettable vacation photos
  • Mine Kill Falls — a dramatic multi-tiered waterfall tucked inside Mine Kill State Park, just a short, rewarding walk to breathtaking views
  • Iroquois Museum — a vibrant cultural center celebrating Haudenosaunee art, history, and storytelling, offering an inspiring look into one of America's oldest living cultures
  • Gilboa Fossil Forest — a hidden gem dating back 380 million years
  • Route 23A, known as the “Mountain Top Arboretum” for its spectacular scenic drive

And with so many other attractions close by, every day brings a new opportunity to explore the beauty and history of the Catskills.
