Intensive Use areas are places like state [[campground]]s or "day use" areas (more like a small [[park#Government-owned or operated parks|public park]]) without camping. There may be designated [[campsite]]s, [[picnic]] tables, [[charcoal]] [[barbecue grill|grill]]s, public restrooms and [[shower]] facilities and [[human swimming|swimming]] areas with [[lifeguard]]s. A fee is charged between May 1 and October 1 for most of these activities, and sometimes just for entering the area. DEC manages 45 campgrounds in the Adirondacks and 7 in the Catskills, for a total of 52 (public campgrounds elsewhere in New York are under the authority of [[New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation|the state parks]]). |

The state's three [[ski area]]s — [[Belleayre Mountain]] in the Catskills and [[Gore Mountain (ski resort)|Gore mountain]] and [[Whiteface Mountain]] in the Adirondacks — also fall under this classification as well. |
