A lot of the wells were closed in NJ AND CT AS well. Be ready for that.

The Five Basic Principles of Going Lighter ~ Cam "Swami" Honan of OZ
Dispersed camping is allowed in NY west of NY 17/Harriman State Park (see ATC camping regulations link below). There's an area large enough for a boy scout troop to camp 0.2 mi N of Lakes Rd (~1.7 mi N of Wildcat Shelter, just past a footbridge over a stream). The only other tent sites I remember on that stretch were along the shore of Little Dam Lake, about 3 mi S of NY 17.

It's all good in the woods.
How about camping options near West Mombasha road
There is a new shelter at Fahnestock state park specifically for AT hikers. A bathroom with piped water is available year round at the east end of the beach. The shelter is roughly 2 miles north of NY 301 just north of the north end of Canopus Lake on a bypass trail(shelter loop) of about .75 miles. It is roughly 5 miles south of RPH. See my two posts on the Dennytown road thread.

About .25 north or Mombasha High Point there is a nice stealth site nestled into a small hollow. 2-3 good tent sites. No water, BYOB.
