A permit is required for all visitors to the Peekamoose Blue Hole and the entire nearby Peekamoose Valley Riparian Corridor along the Rondout Creek, including campers, picknickers, and hikers everyday between May 15 and September 15 of each year. Hunters and anglers with a valid license are exempt from the permit requirement. *Please keep in mind that there is no cell service in the Peekamoose Valley.
Permits are $10, and must be acquired at least 24 hours in advance, but no more than a week in advance. Only advance registrations will be accepted. No walk-in registrations are available. Your permit does not need to list the names of all members of the visiting party, but it does need to list the total number of people in the group. Each permit will be linked to a vehicle, with a 5 person maximum capacity, and the permit must be displayed on/in the vehicle.
Permits can be acquired from our Blue Hole permit page on Reserve America at https://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/peekamoose-blue-hole/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NY&parkId=5935
