Editorial Review

A few hours from the Big Apple, this Catskills retreat brings the wilderness to urbanites' doorsteps.

The Setting
This wonderful wilderness park in mid-state New York provides authentic Catskills camping along a scenic mountain lake. Fishing and boating are perfect here, as canoe and boat rentals are available on site. It's a perfect vacation for equestrians too, as horse camping is available, with tie-down stalls at the park.

The Facility
The campground offers primitive sites with no hook-ups; there is a recycling station but no dump station. Firewood is available, and assuming no fire bans, can be used with fire rings. While there are no showers, composting toilets and potable water are available. A full swimming facility with a lifeguard exists in season.
