About
Gilbert Lake State Park sits in the wooded foothills of the Catskills near Laurens, centered on a small lake and three ponds. It offers 135 campsites (plus 33 separate cabins), with electric service ranging from 15 to 50 amp on many sites and back-in pads up to about 50 feet. Hot showers, accessible restrooms, and a dump station are available. Pets are welcome on campsites (2 max, 6-foot leash) - note that 7 of the cabins are pet-free.
Fees
Standard sites run about $17/night plus a $7.25 reservation fee; sites with electric service (ranging 15 to 50 amp) add a per-night surcharge, while the non-electric Deer Run loop is priced closer to the primitive rate. A $5/night surcharge applies to non-New York residents. Confirm current rates when booking.
