From the Adirondack Mountains to the Catskills, from the St. Lawrence River to the Hudson, wilderness in New York State abounds for tent campers. Here are the 50 most peaceful and scenic campgrounds by lakes, on islands, near beaches, along rivers, and deep in the woods. Most are accessible by car, with a handful of boat-only and hike-in sites for the more adventurous. Each site description includes hiking trails, local attractions, tidbits, and wildlife information, as well as star ratings and maps for easy planning..
The best in tent camping, is my favorite guides for finding the best campsites around my places!! If you are looking to find a very quiet campsite, this is it.
On the money

As first time campers with 2 young kids, we didn't know what to expect. We booked a campsite site unseen and hoped for the best. This guide outlined various campgrounds and detailed info on the sites within the campground. We were pleasantly surprised and were able to choose the perfect campsite for our family. I would definitely recommend this book - we've already booked our next trip at the same campground and are planning more in the future at different campsites mentioned in the book.
This book is superb.

This is a very good camping book. I like the list of features it has for every campground, including whether dogs are allowed or not (very useful for us, we have 2 dogs). We definitely will try visiting a few of these campgrounds in the future. I also liked the camping packing list in the back of the book, it's a good checklist to check out before any trip to make sure you don't forget anything important.
great resource!

Had a book in this series for camping in Virginia, which was very helpful and this New York version hasn't let me down either. We've already tried a few of the sights and the camp site location guide is particularly helpful. A good resoure to have for those who love camping.
