About
Little Pond Campground is a scenic retreat nestled in the Catskill Forest Preserve, offering a quieter alternative to more crowded Catskills destinations. The campground features 73 sites including standard tent/trailer spots and eight remote walk-in sites on the back side of the pond for those seeking a more primitive experience. The centerpiece 13-acre pond allows non-motorized boating only, with rentals available for canoes, kayaks, rowboats, and paddle boats.
Families will find plenty to do with a sand beach for swimming, a playground, and courts for volleyball, basketball, soccer, and horseshoes. A Junior Naturalist Program runs during summer months. The 0.75-mile Little Pond Loop Trail is fully accessible with a crushed stone surface and gentle grades, while more ambitious hikers can access the 33-mile trail network in the 27,000-acre Delaware Wild Forest directly from the campground.
The renowned Beaverkill fly fishing stream is just minutes away. Each campsite includes a picnic table and fire ring. Facilities include flush toilets, hot showers, and a trailer dump station. Firewood and ice are sold on-site. Recycling is mandatory and trash service operates from 8am-6pm with clear bags required.
