Max V. Shaul State Park

What sets Max V. Shaul State Park apart is its serene, small-scale atmosphere coupled with striking natural surroundings, making it an ideal destination for campers seeking tranquility, accessibility, and a connection to authentic outdoor beauty. Located in Fultonham, New York, in the lush Schoharie Valley at the base of Toepath Mountain, this park features 30 wooded tent and trailer sites that provide a peaceful retreat among the trees.

Campers will appreciate the park's simplicity and thoughtful amenities, such as picnic tables, fire rings, restrooms with showers, and a playground, ensuring an enjoyable stay. A nature trail meanders through the park, and fishing opportunities are available in both Panther and Schoharie Creeks. For group outings, a rentable group campsite and picnic pavilion enhance the park’s appeal. The campground offers easy access to Schoharie Creek, with a car-top boat launch for anglers and paddlers.

A short drive from the park is Mine Kill State Park, which broadens recreational options with an Olympic-sized swimming pool, hiking trails, and the picturesque Mine Kill Falls. Together, these parks provide a well-rounded regional camping experience, ideal for families, weekend getaways, or quiet extended stays immersed in the natural charm of upstate New York.
