Hiking and biking enthusiasts will find trail access at this dispersed camping area managed by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. Skyline Drive State Forest allows both drive-in and walk-in access, giving campers flexibility in how they reach their preferred spot. Campfires are permitted throughout the forest.
The dispersed format means campers select their own sites rather than reserving designated spots. Private Campsite on 50 Acres sits just half a mile north for those preferring established amenities.
