Chiefs Division Campsites


I found a document listing some data on the campsites in the Chiefs Division section of camp. I'll have to look for the original as I don't have any date indicated here, but I believe it indicates the current capacities. I did note that another list of all the campsites at Onteora has different information on the sizes of some of the sites; that one isn't dated yet either. It does look like some of the campsites have been downsized over the years.

The campsites were generally arranged in alphabetical order along the loop road in the Chiefs area. Some exceptions are noted below. Note that the status and capacity of the sites shown below may not be current.
