Willowemoc Wilderness Camp
Type: campground | Status: published | Tier: standard | Fishiness: 4/5
Streamside tent and RV campground on the Willowemoc with fire rings, hot showers, and fly-fishing-only water.
Willowemoc Wilderness Camp is a 30-site streamside campground on the banks of the Willowemoc Creek, one of the most famous trout streams in America. The camp offers a mix of tent sites, RV sites with hookups, and three rustic lean-tos right at the water's edge. A bathhouse with hot showers, flush toilets, and a laundry room keeps things comfortable. The camp enforces a fly-fishing-only rule on its private 800 feet of Willowemoc frontage, ensuring quality water for guests. A small camp store sells flies, tippet, and basic supplies. The Beaverkill is a 10-minute drive, and Livingston Manor is just up the road.
