Gunks Campground

Multiple Use Area Camping threatened

The MUA camping area on Rte. 299 is threatened with closure. The reasons have to do with perceived problems by Gardiner residents who live close by and have sent their complaints to Governor Pataki. If nothing is done the MUA will be closed within a year or two. This is your opportunity to get involved and help prove that climbers can be good neighbors.

Read more at the Gunks Climbers' Coalition. You can send a letter to Governer Pataki that, for two minutes to print it out and the cost of a stamp, will help make a huge difference. Send your letter now!

AMC Proposed Campground

The Gunks campground continues to be mired in more requirements placed on this proposed facility, by local and NY State interests. At this point, the AMC does not have adequate funding to make all the proposed improvements. Negotiations continue, while construction is delayed. If anybody knows a good land-use attorney in the New Paltz NY area, please contact Richard Doucette.
