About Camp Hero State Park

The land once served as a military installation, with the park now occupying part of the former Montauk Air Force Station grounds on Montauk Point. The site covers about 1.18 square miles, preserving the coastal terrain once used for Cold War-era air defense operations. Its history as an Air Force station sets it apart from typical coastal parkland in the region.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
