North-South Lake Campground and Day Use Area

Set beneath the dramatic Catskill escarpment, this expansive site organizes 219 campsites across seven distinct loops. The twin-lake layout offers a specific rhythm for time on the water, where you can navigate between small islands and swimming beaches to blend boating and sunbathing in a single outing. Beyond the water, the area serves as a primary hub for regional hiking, with paths leading directly to cliffside vantages such as Artist's Rock, Sunset Rock, and the historic Catskill Mountain House site. The grounds are supported by standard facilities, including designated picnic areas and non-motorized boat rentals for those traveling light.
