Beginning in 2013, 12 primitive campsites along Hunts Pond's perimeter were once again made available for public use.[1] The campsites are available between May 1 and September 30, and campers are required to obtain a free permit issued by the NYS-DEC's office in Sherburne. Outside of the former Hunts Pond State Park area, primitive camping is permitted throughout Hunts Pond State Forest, pursuant to general state forest regulations.[2]
