Mongaup Pond

1 ReviewAdd Review

Anglers and swimmers head to Mongaup Pond for direct access to the 95-acre lake within New York's state forest system. The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation manages this established campground from mid-May through early October, offering both drive-in and walk-in sites with full hookups for RVs up to 40 feet.

Sites provide electric, water, and sewer connections alongside standard amenities including restrooms, showers, and a dump station. Hiking trails wind through the surrounding forest, while the pond supports fishing and swimming activities. Michael G. noted that "facilities were clean and staff was very helpful and friendly" during his return visit. Reservations help secure spots during the $22-per-night season, and pets are welcome throughout the campground.
