DEC Announces Temporary Closure of Devil's Tombstone Campground & Day Use Area |
Campground to Be Closed for 2019 Season During Infrastructure and Facility ImprovementsNew York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos today announced that Devil's Tombstone Campground and Day Use Area in the town of Hunter, Greene County, will be temporarily closed for the 2019 season to allow for upgrades to the facility. "As one of the oldest and most popular campgrounds in the Catskill Forest Preserve, Devil's Tombstone provides a variety of Catskill visitors with overnight accommodations each year," Commissioner Seggos said. "To make necessary infrastructure and facility improvements, we are closing the campground this summer. We are excited to get this work done so that visitors can return next year and enjoy the many unique natural resources this site has to offer." Construction will be ongoing throughout the 2019 season, and signage will be posted throughout the facility to alert visitors about the closure. DEC will announce the campground's re-opening once construction is completed. DEC is contacting all current reservation holders.
