Campsites in the Catskill Forest Preserve β›Ί

There are 66 back-country campsites currently digitized by the NYS DEC in the Catskill Forest Preserve. For use with your GPS, the latitude and longitude have been listed below, sorted by Forest Preserve unit. Additional campsites exist, and some have been heads-up digitized by myself on other maps found on this site, however due to in-exact location they have not been included on this list but are shown on the above map. Additionally, see this state-wide listing of lean-tos and interactive map of dispersed, primitive and roadside campsites across the state.

DEC Lean-tos Map – Updated February 2016

One of the most popular posts on my blog is a list of lean-tos in the state. The list has gotten about five years out of date, so I updated the map with the latest data I had gotten from the DEC, which was last exported in February 2016. Lean-tos are shown as balloons, color coded based on the forest unit they reside in.
