Alot of state run campgrounds have specific areas where you are allowed to hunt.

This state land is more  for hunting and fishing  they dont even allow bikes  they have no  Designated campground  they allow only  primitive camping but the rules are you gotta stay a 150' from trails and roads he did not .

 I don't know when he put up that tent but on the weekends especially I mean today it was Monday and it was raining so nobody was there but that place is like a shooting gallery on the weekends usually especially.   I wouldn't camp there if  you paid me .

What state forest is it? Just about the only places you cannot camp on state land are WMA's, unless the land clearly states no camping. Was the tent set up on a dedicated primitive camping site?

 

A link to the land from the DEC site would help, as then we could all see the icons for what's allowed on that land and what isn't.

 I looked it up it says there's no designated camping area  but primitive camping is allowed as long as you are  150' from any road or trail . 

 

There are no designated campsites, however, at-large primitive camping is allowed. Campsites must be at least 150 feet away from the nearest road, trail, or body of water. Camping for more than three nights or in groups of ten or more requires a permit from a Forest Ranger.
