About Max V. Shaul State Park

Set in the Schoharie Valley of Schoharie County, this compact park is known for its calm atmosphere and wooded camping area. Visitors can pitch tents or park trailers at one of about 30 shaded sites, or reserve the group campsite. Picnickers can use the shady grounds, a rentable pavilion, and a playground. Hiking trails run through the property, and anglers can reach Schoharie Creek with a short walk through the ball fields. Ball fields are open for use, and equipment can be borrowed from the park office at no cost. The park sits within view of Vroman's Nose, a nearby landmark.
