The campground near the renowned Shawangunks climbing area is unique because it offers climbers the rare opportunity to camp with modern amenities, including hot showers and running water, right at the base of the cliffs. Established through a collaboration in 2006 between the Mohonk Preserve, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, and the American Alpine Club, this site has transformed the climbing experience in the region. Completed in 2014, the campground features 50 campsites and 6 vehicle sites, all managed by the American Alpine Club and the Mohonk Preserve. This development marks a significant milestone for one of the country’s most beloved rock-climbing destinations, which has been attracting climbers for over 80 years. In addition to its proximity to world-class climbing routes, the campground is surrounded by stunning natural features, providing ample opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and exploring nearby swimming holes. Visitors can also enjoy local restaurants and shops, making it an ideal base for both adventure and relaxation.
