How To Reserve Your New York State Parks’ Campsite

It's time to get ready to enjoy New York State camping. You can start planning now for your camping adventure. The state’s public campgrounds are now taking reservations for the 2025 season.

There are 119 public campgrounds across the state, and some of the best can be found in the Adirondacks. If you’re drawn to mountain views and quiet mornings by the water, this region, in my opinion, is the best in the state.

More specifically, Lake George is especially popular, with spots like Lake George Battleground, Rogers Rock, and Hearthstone Point offering easy access to the lake, hiking trails, and small-town charm.

Further north, campsites like Fish Creek Pond and Rollins Pond give you that deeper-in-the-woods feeling while still being family-friendly.

You can reserve campsites, cabins, and cottages all across New York State up to nine months in advance by clicking HERE. It’s a simple way to lock in your spot before summer weekends fill up, and they will.

Governor Kathy Hochul recently said that spending a night outdoors is one of the best ways to unplug and recharge. Whether you’re sitting by a campfire, paddling across a quiet lake, or just taking a break from your usual routine, camping offers a chance to slow things down.

Now is the perfect time to make some plans, check your gear, and pick a weekend that works for you and your family. Whether you’re headed to Lake George or another Adirondack favorite, New York has plenty of campsites to enjoy the beautiful lakes, hiking, and unplugging.
