West Point FMWR Round Pond Outdoor Recreation Area reviews
5 Quiet rustic location to camp that is available only to the active and veteran military. We enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again.
To access campgrounds may be white-knuckling for RV drivers. The very narrow, no-shoulders road is a 4%-6% uphill grade for about one mile. To my knowledge, it is the only access to enter and exit. Note: trying to arrive after dark may be an intimidating drive, especially for large-size RVs.
Once you enter the campgrounds the road flattens but the roads to the campsites are still narrow and one-way direction I assume because of narrowness.
However, campsites have built-in serenity. Partial hookup with 30 amp and water only. Typical Sites fit RV and second vehicles very easily including tow dolly.
Plenty of outdoor opportunities on campgrounds, and local things to see and visit nearby besides seeing West Point.
A recommendation is to visit the Bethel Woods Museum where the famous 1969 Woodstock Concert was held. It's 1 hour away. FYI, the Woodstock concert was not held in Woodstock, NY. It is in Bethel Woods, NY.
To the Chief Interior Director (i.e, wives or partners), if you need to pick up supplies and goodies, I recommend visiting Walmart, etc before arriving. I didn't see one nearby.
Enjoy
Wow, breathtakingly peace filled and wonderfully packed with options for fun on site. The rules are very clear and provided in the welcome pack.
This was my first experience here and am very pleased. Definitely returning.
I’m not certain how big rigs get up the winding road in or out. In my six speed Jeep Wrangler dropped the gear down to crawl up and around and S curl again and again. God bless anyone with a big rig who can navigate the path.
Took a few pictures to give ya the vibe.
I’m so happy I found this place and am able to use stay.
And, really nice helpful staff on the phone. Very accommodating to my arrival change.
Side note, I’m a native NYer. Grew up in the area. The beauty never ceases to amaze me. As a veteran found this location and am so happy. My sis lives in Highland Falls, so it’s close by and it was nice inviting her for a walk and breakfast.
Even if you’re from NY, definitely visit. You won’t be disappointed.

Small and muddy but basketball and volleyball courts were good. BUT THERE'S NO BATHROOM in comfortable walking distance. Everyone has to pee in the woods. Even a porta potty would have worked.
Terrible customer service.
1. Had to cancel before check-in due to a relative getting sick and they still charged me that day. Even better, they had my reservation scheduled for the day prior, so I got charged for two days. When I argued they dates—they said I should have checked my email. Sure…or maybe your staff should have scheduled the correct days. It wasn’t even peak season.
2. Because it was late fall, I was warned that water might be shut off to our site. I understand that, but when I asked if we could not shut the water to our spot for the 3-day stay, the response was “absolutely not”
Worst customer service of any campsite I’ve tried, especially an MWR.
