Best Dispersed Camping near Delanson, NY
Several state forests surround Delanson, New York offering primitive camping options. Duck Pond Campsite and Betty Brook Camp are accessible via rough dirt roads that may challenge low-clearance vehicles. According to one visitor, "The road in on old cemetery rd was pretty rough," though the sites themselves feature fire pits and stream access. Burnt Rossman State Forest's Westkill Camp provides roadside sites suitable for 2-3 campers, while Fort Plain Lock 15 on Empire Trail offers tent camping in a more developed setting with potable water and toilets.
Most dispersed sites permit fires and allow pets, though Featherstonhaugh and Rensselaerville State Forests prohibit both. Only Betty Brook Camp provides drinking water among primitive sites. Campers note the remote nature of these areas, with limited or no cell service being common. Winter camping is possible at several locations, with one camper describing Burnt Rossman as "a great location for winter camping" with sites "easily accessible from road." Boondocking enthusiasts should prepare for self-sufficient camping as most areas lack facilities.
