GenieSummary
North-South Lake in Elka Park, NY is a huge and beautiful park that offers great opportunities for hiking. The lake is nice and most sites are shady and private. Visitors can enjoy scenic views while walking around the lakes, especially during the fall when the leaves change colors. Although the uphill pull to the campground is quite long, the park is lovely. There are challenging hikes available as well as easier hikes for those with limited mobility. While it may not be for everyone, this is a fantastic place for camping as the facilities are okay and most campers want to be out in nature. Some campers unfortunately leave trash everywhere and play loud music, which can be disruptive for some. Nevertheless, the staff is fantastic and friendly.
From The Campground
North-South Lake Campground & Day Use Area is a multiple-use recreation area located in the Catskill Mountains, just a 2.5-hour drive north of New York City. The campground offers 219 sites and a small picnic area. The beach at North Lake was constructed in 1936. The campground is surrounded by mixed hardwood and conifer forests, lakeshores, and stream banks, making it an ideal location for watching wildlife. Visitors can encounter a good cross-section of wildlife common to the area, including migrating hawks, great horned owls, barred owls, wild turkey, ruffed grouse, warblers, songbirds, migrating common loons, geese, ducks, white-tailed deer, black bears, bats, gray and red squirrels, sunfish, and largemouth bass. The campground also offers a Junior Naturalist Program for young children and their families. Other nearby attractions include Hunter Mountain, local villages with restaurants, shops, antique shops, and a movie theater, tubing, go-carts, miniature golf, and a number of golf courses and horseback riding facilities.
