About
Nestled at the foot of Slide Mountain, the tallest peak in the Catskills, Woodland Valley Campground offers 70 tent and trailer sites surrounded by Panther, Cornell, and Wittenberg Mountains. The campground was established in the early 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, making it one of the oldest public campgrounds in New York State. The area was previously clear-cut in the late 1800s for hemlock bark used in the tanning industry before becoming state land in 1902. The campground serves as the trailhead for both the Slide-Wittenberg Trail providing access to the Burroughs Range and the Woodland Valley-Denning Trail which connects to the Giant Ledge-Panther Mountain Trail. Woodland Valley Stream runs through the campground, containing brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, and other species. Most campsites are wooded, with some located along the stream. The nearby village of Phoenicia offers tubing on the Esopus Creek, a railroad museum, Rail Explorer pedal rides on the Catskill Mountain Railroad, shops, restaurants, and other attractions. The campground includes flush toilets, hot showers, a dump station, picnic area with tables and grills, and recycling center. Some sites can accommodate RVs up to 30 feet in length.

From Thruway Exit 19, Kingston, bear right after leaving the exit onto Route 28 West. Proceed 20-25 miles to Phoenicia.
