If you ask a hungry or sleepy traveler, Montauk means comfortable camping and lodging facilities. Many of the 156 campsites are on the banks of the Current River. The campground offers electric or basic sites, showers and laundry facilities. The Dorman L. Steelman Lodge has a full-menu dining room, snack bar and store, as well as motel rooms and rental cabins.
Some cabins remain open during the winter.
Ask a child what Montauk State Park means to them and the words fun, learning and adventure no doubt will be mentioned.
