Max V Shaul / Mine kill & Veroman's Nose

I have combined this post of  Max V Shaul State Campground with Mine kill State Park and Veroman's Nose. Located in Schoharie County these three places make a great place to get away for a long weekend. Max V Shaul is the place to stay. The campground here is small but very nice. The only thing missing is a dump station. There is a nice playground in the campground. There is a section of old route 30 connected to the campground which makes for a interesting walk or bike ride. Abandoned years ago it is interesting to see how mother nature has reclaimed part of this paved road.
Also heading south just before the campground we found a swimming hole used by the locals.
