Michael Dee’s Motel & Country Campsites is a family-owned and operated destination nestled on more than 50 scenic acres in the heart of the Catskill Mountains. Alongside our long-standing motel, we’ve expanded to include a full-service campground, country-style campsites, and five cozy tiny cabins—so there’s something here for every type of traveler.
A True Mom-and-Pop Experience
As a true mom-and-pop business, we take pride in the personal touch and genuine hospitality that’s hard to find today. We don’t just treat guests as customers—we welcome them like friends and family.
That approach is working. Both our motel and campground are enjoying record-breaking seasons, with many guests returning year after year and referring their family and friends.
Service You Can Count On
With Michele at the helm for over 30 years, guests can expect exceptional service from the moment they call. Her people skills, attention to detail, and extensive experience with reservations and bookkeeping help ensure every stay runs smoothly. She’s always believed a satisfied guest is the best form of advertising.
Once you become part of the Michael Dee’s & Country Campsites family, you’ll understand why guests say you never really leave—why would you? It’s like having a cousin in the vacation business.

Rob, Michele & Robbie
