Fahnestock State Park Campground

This park is wonderful to hike, camp, paddleboard or any other recreational activities. Last week a group of us ventured out to cross country skiing for the first time. It was so much fun and the park rangers could not have been more helpful, friendly and supportive. Highly recommend!

A campground with around 70 campsites and two bathrooms. As long as filling out the pre-registration online few days ago, the check-in process would be smooth. Each site comes with a picnic table and benches, a fireplace with grill and a standup grill. There are a lot of drinking water pumps that you can use for cooking. Since there're only two bathrooms with showers, walking or driving there depends on the distance between your site and the bathroom. There're two free hot shower rooms per bathroom building. When making reservation, be aware some sites are only available by hiking in which means parking the car in the nearby spot and moving everything by hands.

Camped one night in a tent. The park ranger was really helpful even though we arrived 15 minutes before the office closed for the night. Hot water in the showers. Very pretty lake

Conveniently located a little over an hour from NYC. Campsite was not leveled. Did some kayaking with my son and spent a few hours at the beach. Nice and quiet on a Monday, We had the beach to ourselves early in the morning.

Fahnestock State Park Campground offers a very peaceful and safe camping ground for novice and experts alike. Stayed for 2 nights in the campground and surprisingly with good amenities. The bathroom and shower rooms (with hot water) are well kept and that’s the only place you can get electricity from (if you need to charge your electronics and all). There is also a place where you can wash your dishes right next to the restrooms. Each camp site has its own table, fire pit and grill to use. The hike around the camp site is fairly easy to do with beautiful foliage (visited fall of 2022) with the good view of the lake and ponds. Would have been better to have more restrooms and shower rooms to use.

This campsite #9 was very remote and perfect for our group. Thankfully there were no neighbors because the set up otherwise would have been a little awkward since you would have to walk through other campsites to get water or go to the bathroom. The bathrooms are pretty nice and are heated. Two stales and two showers.

Beautiful area, especially in the fall. Pelton Pond offers a magnificent background and the trail to Stillwater Pond is quiet and picturesque.
