Overview
A brief introduction to North-south Lake Campground
North–South Lake is an 1,100-acre (4.4 km2) state campground in the Catskill Forest Preserve near Palenville, New York operated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation near the site of the historic Catskill Mountain House overlooking the Hudson River. The escarpment on which the lakes are located is at 2,250 feet (685.8 m), 1,700 feet (518 m) above the valley floor, providing a view of five states in clear weather.
The area is rich in history. It was a favorite subject of painters in the Hudson River School, particularly Thomas Cole. For a long time, the prestigious resort hotels in the area made it synonymous with the Catskills.
Today, the area provides hiking, swimming, boating (no motors), and fishing.

Camper reviews for North-south Lake Campground
Huge and great campground!
We’ve stayed here twice - loop 7 and loop 5. Both were great - 7 more wooded and spaced out and 5 close to lake. I’d say the only downside is bear precautions, and we got a park speeding ticket for going 25 mph - so that follow that posted speed limit. :) Lots of hiking from the campground, but avoid Katerskill Falls on super busy days!
