About
Located in northeastern Sullivan County within Catskill Park, Mongaup Pond Campground occupies a scenic setting on a 120-acre lake, the largest natural body of water in the Catskills outside the NYC reservoir system. The dense forest environment and remote location make it a popular destination for campers seeking a traditional Catskills wilderness experience with modern amenities including flush toilets, hot showers, and a trailer dump station. The campground features 163 wooded tent and trailer sites spread across multiple loops. A sand beach provides swimming access, and the day use area includes picnic tables, grills, and a pavilion available for rental. Boat rentals (canoes, rowboats, kayaks) are available on-site, though only hand-launched watercraft with electric trolling motors are permitted to protect the downstream Catskill Hatchery. Hiking options range from the 1.5-mile Mongaup Pond Loop trail within the campground to more ambitious treks on the Big Rock, Karst, Mongaup-Willowemoc, and Mongaup-Hardenberg trails that connect to over 45 miles of wilderness trails. Fishing opportunities include brook trout, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch, though bait fish use is prohibited.
