Devil's Tombstone is one of the oldest campgrounds in the Catskill Forest Preserve. Its location, deep in Stony Clove, surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the Catskills, makes it a haven for serious hikers. The campground's trails lead to Hunter Mountain, with the highest historic fire tower in New York State, Indian Head, and West Kill Range. This is a small, primitive campground, with wooded sites and a small, shallow lake, Notch Lake.

The hiking is amazing here, and campers will enjoy relaxing by Notch Lake after a long, fulfilling hike. Swimming and boating can be enjoyed at North-South Lake, nine miles away. Hunting is allowed outside campground boundaries. Children will enjoy the playground and participating in the Junior Naturalist Program.

The campground's wooded sites have picnic tables and fireplaces. Water spigots are available. Showers are available at North-South Lake, nine miles away. The park also has two picnic areas with tables and fireplaces or charcoal grills, a children's playground, a volleyball court, horseshoes, firewood for sale, and hiking trails.
