Planning your next vacation?

Plan an overnight getaway and immerse yourself in nature. With more than 8,100 campsites and trailer sites, and nearly a thousand cabins, cottages, and specialty lodging options to choose from, New York State Parks campgrounds are the perfect destination.

Camping creates special memories with family and friends around the campfire, along the trail, or out on the water and can be enjoyed in some of the most beautiful natural settings in North America. Whether you fish, hike, bike, boat, swim, paddle, or just want to simply unwind, there’s nothing more enjoyable than sleeping under the stars after a full day of fun.

Remember—summer isn’t the only time to enjoy the outdoors. Many campgrounds are open into the fall, and several remain open year-round. No matter the season, use our website as a source of inspiration and book your stay today!
