Overview

Description

Devil's Tombstone is one of the oldest campgrounds in the Catskill Forest Preserve. Its location, deep in Stony Clove, surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the Catskills, makes it a haven for serious hikers. The campground's trails lead to Hunter Mountain, with the highest historic fire tower in New York State, Indian Head, and West Kill Range. This is a small, primitive campground, with wooded sites and a small, shallow lake, Notch Lake.

Geography:

Devil's Tombstone is located in a rugged mountain pass in the Catskill Mountains called Stony Clove. It is rumored that Stony Clove was a favorite haunt of the Devil during the early days of settlement in the Catskills. The Devil's Tombstone itself is a large boulder that was carried down the mountain many centuries ago, by a landslide or a glacier.

Recreation:

The hiking is amazing here, and campers will enjoy relaxing by Notch Lake after a long, fulfilling hike. Swimming and boating can be enjoyed at North-South Lake, nine miles away. Hunting is allowed outside campground boundaries. Children will enjoy the playground and participating in the Junior Naturalist Program.

Facilities:

The campground's wooded sites have picnic tables and fireplaces. Water spigots are available. Showers are available at North-South Lake, nine miles away. The park also has two picnic areas with tables and fireplaces or charcoal grills, a children's playground, a volleyball court, horseshoes, firewood for sale, and hiking trails.

Nearby Attractions:

The park is four miles from Hunter Mountain, which hosts ethnic festivals throughout the summer season, with the sky ride operating, for a fine view from the mountain. Nearby towns offer restaurants, shops, and a movie theater. Tubing, go-carts, miniature golf, and a number of golf courses and horseback riding facilities are located within easy driving distance.
