We found our favorite camping spot! Benefits include:
- Less than 1 hr north of NYC
- Beautiful campground (if you have the right spot... more on that later)
- Appalacian Trail within 1 mile
- Boat rentals. Pretty lake that you can row on to little private island!
- Dogs alowed
- Area is pretty remote and not congested
- If you're bored or - as we would have it - rained on, there's a Movie Theater about 20 mins away and a Walmart! A great Mexican restaurant also in nearby town (20 mins).
There are a few things that can make camping here more successful.
- Choose your campsite wisely. There are a few loops where the sites are squeezed really close and there's more of a party atmosphere. We actually had a site in this area and we fell asleep to the family of 20 blaring Mexican music and building a giant fire with lots of help from their friend, Mr lighter fluid. They were very nice , I just was hoping to hear the wind or howling wolves or something of that NATURE.
Jeff and I scoped out the sites and in the case we visit again (or you are a lucky person searching for info on this). The more remote and cooler sites are 16-22, 30 and 40-41.
- Have what you need before you get there. If you don't you'll have to drive about 10 miles to get anything - ice, water, food, etc
Here are some photos of our play in the woods...
