Mongaup Pond Campground

Mongaup Pond is located in north eastern Sullivan County. It is situated on a 120 acre lake, the largest body of water in the Catskill Park outside of the N.Y.C. reservoirs. The dense forest environment, remote location, large wooded campsites, and a lake with swimming, picnic area, and boat rentals are the attractions for most campers. In December of 1960, as an addition to the Catskill Forest Preserve, 1,310 acres of land, including Mongaup Pond were acquired. Campground construction began in 1964. On July 1, 1966, with 65 sites, the campground opened to the public. By 1968 most of the 163 sites making up the present day campground were completed. The campground includes 163 tent and trailer sites, picnic area with tables and grills, picnic pavilion rental, pay phones, flush toilets, hot showers, trailer dump station, recycling center, wheelchair accessible, sand beach, boat launch.
