West Point FMWR Round Pond Outdoor Recreation Area — Hotel in Town of Highlands

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...

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...

This place earns a 5 star for location; however, the sites were designed for 20' travel trailers. That being said, the sites are not well organized or standardized and definitely not very level. You never know which side the power pedestal and water hookup will be located. When it rains, puddles are everywhere because of the lack of even gravel. The laundry room and showers were dirty and didn't appear to be truly cleaned for months. And since there is no sewer hookup at the sites, you are forced to use the facilities. No WiFi and cell coverage is spotty, which is common for the area. If I were the Commander of USAG West Pont and the USMA, I would almost be embarrassed that this place is associated with the school that produces some of the finest engineers...
