Bethpage Camp Resort

It’s a frat house for adults. The pools were disgusting (trash, band aids, dirt, greasy water) and no one believes in watching their children. The cabins were nice but extremely small, most people either know each other or own their own plot there so expect to see adult drunk parties everywhere during the weekend nights. Kayaking was the best part of this place but don’t fall in the water, it’s filled with jellyfish, not their fault but not something you’d expect unless you’re a native to the area.

Very well kept campground. We have been coming here for about 5 years and enjoy the facilities. A few complaints though, for the cost they need to invest in their wifi and update their cable. In addition, the lake trampoline is falling apart; springs are falling off, ladder is missing. Overall it’s a great campground but for the cost the owners need to upgrade some services.

The kid loves the water park.

First let me start off by saying that my family and I have been come to Bethpage campground for years. It use to be one of our favorite spots to go. However, over the years, it has become nothing but a drunk fest for adults on the weekends. And drunk adults who don’t pay attention to their unruly children leads to disrespectful kids which I don’t like. I have tried to reach out to Bethpage through Facebook and an email and never received a response so I thought I would share my experience with all of you:
Good Evening! I hope that the start of this camping season is going well. This is a post that I put on your Facebook page back on October with the thought that someone would have read it and maybe responded to it. But no such luck… Then I remember that one day I made a post asking that if anyone read and responded to post that people made and answer was no. The suggestion was made that I send it in the form of an email. So now that the camping season is upon us, I thought that it was a good idea for me to express my concerns. The majority of the time that we come to Bethpage, we have an awesome time. There have been a few times when people have been drunk and belligerent and that didn’t impress us very much. But because we didn’t want to cause any problems (we had to stay there for the weekend) we didn’t say anything. To be honest, for a long time we felt that Bethpage was known as the «Part Campground.» For that reason we much prefer to come during the week than on the weekends. Up until last year, we had spent the last few years at Grey’s Point for Halloween. Because we had friends coming to Bethpage, we decided that we were going to try it again. (We had stopped in the past because of no trick or treating). Now on to my post from Facebook:
«This was not a good weekend for me at Bethpage. People inside the tent were drunk, rude, and disrespectful. And their kids were just as bad destroying three props that were left there from earlier in the day. One kid was taking the tail of one rat and doing something that he shouldn’t be doing with it to another rat and there were little kids standing there. His parents were there to but i guess they didn’t care. Then some guy said to his friend as i picked up a skull his kids were bouncing back and forth on the table that „this was a kids event“ as he walked over to the table that i put the skull on and he so nicely picked up and placed back on the other table. Well then kind sir control your kid and teach then not to destroy stiff that doesn’t belong to them. And honestly, Bethpage should of had adult supervision inside just like they have the police riding around outside. I was very disappointed and I’m sure i made a few people mad at me in the tent. But there is a difference between having fun and being drunk and throwing a beanbag around and hitting people with it who didn’t want to be hit and destroying property that didn’t belong to you; like the pair of eyeballs that your child kept banging on the table.»
So I am saying all this to let you know how disappointed I was in how the supervision was during this event. The lack of respect of the adults that are camping there. Are there any public intoxication rules? It doesn’t make it look good in front of the kids. And it really does give the campground a bad name. I hope that plans will be put in place that this does not happen in the future, not only at the Halloween event, but at all events. I do want to compliment Clark and all of the lifeguards at the pool. They are always very respectful and on point.

Bethpage is a very good campground. However there is a little too many drunk people driving around on golf carts to be considered completely family-​friendly. This is not a place I would allow my children to ride around on bicycles for fear they may be killed by some drunk guy driving a golf cart. Other than that one problem this place is second to none. The staff are super friendly. The pools are well-​maintained. The waterslides are awesome. The camp store is well stocked and It has a very nice ice creamery on the premises.
This is primarily a weekend place as there are not very many activities during the week.

Went to BP today for a baseball picnic and was very impressed with the facilities and staff

Excellent campground.
Amenities: Outstanding
Maintenance: Outstanding
Size/​location/​condition of sites: Great
Cleanliness: Outstanding
Affordability: Pricey… but it takes $$ to offer the amenities they have. Worth it.
Service: Okay… not the most warm and fuzzy…
Noise: Quiet and extremely peaceful… but we were there Sun-​Tues
Child Friendly: Totally
We found this campground online and selected it do to location (reasonable drive from Washington Metro Area)…and amenities suitable for amusing a busy 4 year old. Excellent experience. We were there Sun-Tue…therefore the campground was very, very quiet. Gated resort… amazing water park… extremely well maintained… sites were super easy for pull through and hook ups… you could have camp fire at your site… well provisioned camp store with anything you might need… close to Urbanna if you want to explore antique shops/market/restaurant…nice fresh water lake with paddle boats and sandy beach… very, very clean bathhouses… really…a very nice campground. The staff were numerous… very much rule enforcers and not necessarily the warmest… but at a resort of that size I guess rules are rules. Life guards were extremely nice and friendly. They also offer rental cottages for folks without RVs. I would highly recommend this campground… but my guess is if you go on a weekend, holiday or special event… the place will be hopping.

This is great campground. It has a pool and a nice beach. It also has places where you can fish and has a nice country store. I really liked staying there. They also have cottages there if you don’t have a camper. I would recommend this place.
