Kittatinny’s Campground in Barryville, New York will soon offer an elevated camping experience after Northgate Resorts rebrands the campground to Camp Fimfo.
The latest addition will be the first Camp Fimfo outside of Texas, and will open its gates next summer in the Catskills. According to a press release, the new camping resort, featuring a collection of cabins, full-hookup RV sites, and tent sites, will make its home along the banks of the Delaware River less than three hours from New York City and Philadelphia.
“We’re excited to introduce our brand to residents and visitors of New York,” said Tessa McCracken, chief marketing officer for Northgate Resorts. “The Catskills is an iconic destination recalling fond memories of summers past. Its beauty has been captured on film, such as Dirty Dancing and, more recently, the small screen in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Camp Fimfo will capture the nostalgia of the region while ensuring all the modern-day amenities are present and accounted for.”
Camp Fimfo Catskills spans 250 acres and will feature a collection of new riverfront, treetop, and A-frame cabins coupled with premium RV sites and Airstream trailers plus glamping tents and pods. Some existing cabins, tents, and RV sites will be refurbished resulting in a total of 240 cabins, 40 tent sites, and nearly 60 RV sites.
The amenity-rich and turnkey experience includes a heated swimming pool lined with cabanas and renovated bathhouses plus a water playground, hot tubs, mini-golf, an Alpine coaster, jumping pillow, and sports courts.
In addition to these new attractions and amenities, Camp Fimfo will continue to offer Kittatinny’s on-site adventures such as rafting, kayaking, tubing, canoeing, and ziplining. Riverfront dining will also be available at the recently acquired Cedar Rapids Bar & Restaurant, which is slated to undergo a top-to-bottom renovation next year.
Northgate’s brand, Camp Fimfo, debuted last summer in New Braunfels, Texas, and is opening a second location next month in nearby Waco. The Catskills location will be the award-winning brand’s first locale outside of the Lone Star State with plans to continue expanding nationwide.
The Camp Fimfo experience is reminiscent of summer camp and family road trips harkening back to a simpler time in travel. Modern-day conveniences and Instagrammable moments help define the overall experience with whimsical messaging splashed throughout the boutique campground.
Camp Fimfo was at the forefront as the demand for outdoor travel and experiences began to shift. According to a 2022 North American Camping Report, more than 93.8 million American households considered themselves campers with camping accounting for 40% of all leisure trips taken in 2021. Furthermore, the study shows RVing is at an all-time high with 11 million recreational vehicle owners camping last year and two million new RV renters. The study also revealed an emerging trend showing urban residents as one of the most avid camping segments, which bodes well for Camp Fimfo Catskills and its close proximity to both New York City and Philadelphia.
