Mahlon Dickerson Reservation

Great trails. Camping and BBQ. Had a wonderful hike here. Would like to check out more trails.

We needed a campground near our adult children who each live about 45 minutes from here. There is NOTHING closer. So we had no real choice. Call ahead and talk to Preston. He asked us what kind of rig we had and then held for us, what was, in his opinion, the easiest and most level spot. It’s #16 by the way!
We loved it! Our spot had been newly paved with hook-​ups for electric and water. Wooded and shaded. The bathrooms were sparkling clean. Showers were in the same building as the toilets, but separate with locking doors so very private and comfortable.
Can’t speak to the hiking opportunities, we did not have the time to partake.
If you camp and you want something within a reasonable distance from NYC, this is the place to go. At about 25 bucks a night, it’s a real bargain in this area.
