Thought about trying my luck at turkey hunting GS this year. Have fished the area years ago but have never tried any sort of hunting in this area of the state. First question...is this an overly crowded location for spring hunting. Ive been to several state parks over the years where I have ran into hunters all day long and not really wanting to experience that again. Secondly...is there any modern campsites anywhere in the area? I have a camper and I'd like to hook up electricity if at all possible. If not, no point in hauling it. Any help would be great fellas!!!

I ride our horses in there a lot. There is 3 camp grounds on the property. 2 general use. 1 horsemen. No electricity in any of them.
I have though about turkey hunting it several time. Always talked myself out of it. 1. That's prime horse season. 2. Mushroom hunters out the.... 3. I have private ground closer to home.
With that said. If you want to hunt it. Go for it. There's birds in there. I would say it's moderately hunted.
As for camping. Shakamak State Park is half hour north of there.

I live just miles from there and from my experience it is a VERY crowded area. Like hornzilla said, that is peak mushroom hunting season and is very high in horseback riding and campers as well. Will you find areas with few people? sure. but the majority is a highly populated ( by hunters/campers/ect.) area

I live 5 minutes from the Greene Sullivan State forest, have turkey hunted it a lot and shot alot of birds there over the years. I will have to say its very crowded, be prepared for hunters to come in on you from the road and try to work the bird you are working. It is very crowded but if you hunt it thru the week you can get lucky and have almost the entire forest to yourself.
