Dear Campers:
Welcome to New York State’s great outdoors!
Welcome outdoor adventurers from across the state, country, and globe to the great state of New York! The Empire State offers countless ways to escape your daily routine and make lasting memories with friends and family.
Whether you are planning a trip to Lake Erie or Long Island, or venturing into the Adirondack and Catskill Parks, New York’s 120 State-operated campgrounds offer countless opportunities to spend time in the outdoors. From hiking and fishing, to boating, picnicking, and swimming at one of the State’s many day use areas, or simply star gazing and exploring, your next unforgettable adventure awaits.
In addition to the priceless time spent together with family and friends that camping trips provide, we are learning more and more each day about the significant benefits of nature for our physical and emotional well-being. Whether you are new to the outdoors or a seasoned expert, New York State’s beaches, trails, waterways, and campgrounds are the perfect way to relax, unwind, and unplug for those of all ages and abilities.
We continue to invest in sustaining our natural environment and ensuring our state remains a top destination for campers. I look forward to visiting a New York campground this year with my family and I look forward to seeing you and your family enjoying the great outdoors!
Sincerely,
Kathy Hochul, Governor
