Sommerville Valley Caravan Park and Resort were built on 80 acres of private property that was originally a farm offering a spectacular setting, overlooking Storm King Dam. This was purchased by a Dutch family in the early 2000’s. They fell in love with the area and had a dream to develop the magical spot they had discovered. The same Dutch family still runs Sommerville Valley with the help of a small team of staff.
