Oquaga Creek State Park

Dave's Tips

Oquaga Creek would be a good choice for campers who are looking to spend time with the family at a very nice sandy beach, and perhaps do some biking or hiking. If you are looking for a decent buffer between you and your neighbours campsites, then you will like this campground! Be aware though that there are generally few trees between sites for visual privacy.

Oquaga Creek has a great Beach with Canoe, kayak and row boat rentals
All three loops are similar in nature although Beaver Creek Circle is bit less hilly and feels much more open.

The Tamarack Loop (site 1-34) is hilly with many of the sites on a pad up/below the road level so check out the campsite photos if you have a trailer!

The Red Pine Circle area (sites 35-64) is very similar to the Tamarack Loop, perhaps a bit more hilly in the center.

Site 77 at the bottom of the hill in Beaver Creek Circle.

The Beaver Creek Circle is bit less hilly and feels quite open. There is great buffer between sites but limited trees between sites.

Personally I didn't have a preference for campsites in one area or another at Oquaga Creek.

Disclaimer: I have not actually camped here, I have only visited to take campsite photos. My reviews are based on having camped at 28 NY State/DEC campgrounds in recent years and having visited/stayed at 86 of the campgrounds which gives me the insight to provide comparisons which I hope are useful to other campers.

Photos were taken on a rainy day in the spring on May 17, 2016. As such consider that the leaves on the trees are not fully out. If you are camping at Oquaga Creek in the summer, you can assume that there will be more shade and site privacy on sites that have deciduous trees. Due to the rain I didn't take as many photos as I would have liked of each campsite. It was also a dreary day so the beach photos are less attractive than you should expect in the summer.
