Campbell Mountain Trail is a short, point-to-point hike in the Delaware Wild Forest in New York, managed by the State Department of Conservation. The route is about 0.8 miles long, with a high point of 2,434 feet and a low of 2,179 feet. The climb is modest, with a total gain of 239 feet, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.66 miles in, where the grade reaches 16 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Downsville Dam show July highs around 81°F and lows near 56°F, though that station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the mountain run cooler. The hike takes about half an hour. Trout Pond Trail is about 1.3 miles away, and Hog Hollow Trail and Mud Pond Trail are both within about 3 miles. For an overnight stay, Bear Spring Mountain - Spruce Grove campground is roughly 6.8 miles off.
