Here's sort of a mini guide to camping Harriman
http://www.myharriman.com/the-lean-t...harriman-park/ It's a great starting point. Be aware that Harriman has some flat trails and some steep trails. Walking in from Johnsontown road to Dutch Doctor shelter is 2 miles and pretty flat. It's a pleasant, easy walk.Parking on 106 where it crosses the rampano dunderberg trail gives you much shorter walks to either Tom Jones or Bald Rocks shelters, but they are lung bustingly steep. All 3 are good hikes and great camping areas. it just depends what you want.
Also, the Harriman Park trail map is available on Avenza for very little $, and other apps, too. I carry physical maps, too because I have fallen into a river. Last: Please hang a bear bag or bring a bear canister. Please do it right. There are bears in the woods around here. It's extremely unlikely you'll even see a bear and YOU are at no risk from them, but the whole "a fed bear becomes a dead bear" does apply.
