Historic Interest: Devil's Tombstone is located in a rugged mountain pass in the Catskill Mountains called Stony Clove. It is rumored that Stony Clove was a favorite haunt of the Devil during the early days in settlement of the Catskills. One object closely associated with the Devil still survives in the campground, it is the Devil's Tombstone. The tombstone is a large boulder, approximately seven feet by five, which was probably carried down the mountain many centuries ago by a landslide or glacier.
Devil's Tombstone is one of the oldest New York State campgrounds. It is a small primitive campground with wooded sites and a small shallow lake, Notch Lake. No swimming or boating is permitted on the lake. The campground is a haven for serious hikers. The "Devil's Path" trails are accessible from the parking lot at the north end of the campground.
