camping

As more and more activities start to re-open across New York state, camping is next on the list. Today (Monday, June 8th) you can reserve a campsite in all of the New York State Parks. There are some restrictions and reservations will fill up fast. Here's what you need to know.

Campgrounds and RV parks were given to the go ahead to reopen, but state run campgrounds will take a couple weeks to get there.

Although Governor Cuomo allowed campgrounds across New York State to open Monday, the DEC has other ideas.

Governor Cuomo announced during his briefing on Sunday that campgrounds would be able to start reopening Monday, May 25, with new restrictions in place.

Parts of New York will unPAUSE May 15th, as businesses begin to slowly re-open. State owned campgrounds won't be one of them.

While State Parks and Campgrounds remains closed, Cayuga County is issuing season-long permits.

Ever been camping and thought, I really don’t want to carry this heavy chair all the way from the car? Or maybe you got to the top of the mountain after a long hike and thought, Man, I wish I could just sit here for a couple of hours, and yet you have nowhere to sit? With WEKAPO, just throw it over your shoulder or stuff it in your pack and unbuckle the seat you can take anywhere; all you need is air. Hike up the mountain with this lightweight portable lounger and you’ll have a place to relax in seconds.

They have the opportunity to spend the night on the grounds, where you'll get to assist the caretakers with feeding the animals, go on a guided hike, sit around the campfire, and so much more.

It's been about 20 years since I've been in an airplane.

A few weeks ago my family and I went glamping at the new Frontier Town. The New York State Parks took over the land and made it into a functional campground. I was so impressed with what they did with the old Frontier Town.
