First, note: he actually died on August 3, just before midnight.
Secondly, the search for the exact location of Camp Betar goes on. The doctor noted the town of Jewett in Greene County which is quite near but slightly north of Hunter:

From two Betarim:
BK -
On my day off, In the late 1960’s or early 1970’s when I was at Camp Betar in Neversink, NY, Tuvia Schwartz drove me and B B (K) to what was left of the Camp Betar building in Hunter, NY.
I don’t remember the route he took, or the towns we went through near the camp. It was about 50 years ago. It was a rainy day and the two-story building was quite dilapidated. I do remember we climbed some rickety stairs and there was the remains of an office upstairs, with a filing cabinet that still had a few old documents.

I remember that day. It had to be 1967 or 1966 as in July 1968, I flew to Israel
I remember it was on the main road in Hunter, New York. I recall walking up the stairs and finding papers strewn on the floor of an empty office.
