Anyone go camping and want to give me a recommendation?
We're looking to go camping in September. Some place not too far away (no more than 2-3 hour drive), has to have real bathrooms and allow pets. Anyone know any places they could recommend?

I just got back from a weekend trip few weeks ago. We go every year to kittatinny. it is on the Delaware River so you can canoe or raft. They have all different sites (we get the ones right on the river). We stay at the Barryville base but the river beach are more rustic (i think).

We go to Lake George, which is a little farther than you're looking for, about 5 hours. But friends of ours go out east a lot, like in South Hampton. There's a lot of campgrounds out there that allow dogs. Shinnecock East, Smith's Point, Cedar Point, Hither Hills, Indian Island. Now that I think of it, those grounds are only for the big campers, so if you're looking to do tent camping, FH says that you can use a tent at Cedar Point, Hither Hills, Cathedral Pines, and Montauk.

Re: Anyone go camping and want to give me a recommendation?
we go to the lakes upstate, Lake George, North Lake, Indian Lake...... but that's further than what you are looking for. KOA has different sites, I think there is one by FH's parents (about an hour north of the city)
A friend's parents used to go to Hither Hills in Montauk- fun, right on the beach, but the sites were really close together and it wasn't really roughing it.
I grew up camping with nothing but a tarp, tent, boat, and an outhouse, and we bathed in the lake! Lol, my dad was the real 'rough-it' type.

Re: Anyone go camping and want to give me a recommendation?
Hickory Run State Park is awsome in the poconos... Its prob 2 hrs away tops... They say no alcohol just like any of the state parks... But as long as your not waving it around no one bothers you... Camping is like my favorite time to drink... lol
North/South Lake is also really nice, but alittle further...
Indian Island County park is nice out in Riverhead but I know its harder to get LI campsites last minute...
Hickory Run would be my top pick though... They have outlets near by, lots of stuff to do, they have auto trails you can take your car on, a beach on a lake, lots of nice hikes and Boulder fields (a field of boulders like 2 miles across

I am not going to give advice about camping.. I just went a few weeks ago and spent half the time crying like a little girl. lol turns out im not the outdoors type I guess.
However, I do know that WHEN i do go I enjoy lake george the best. I went to a few places and all are great there. So much to do!! you can google it.

My family and i arrange a camping trip every September in Cedar Point way out east. I believe it is north of East Hampton and east of Sag Harbor. I love it there! Sorry i couldn't be of more help to you.

Oh I forgot to mention- in Otter Lake you can bring alcohol. Plus they give you a nice sized site with a fire pit, table, water and electric hookup. It's rated on of the top campgrounds in the country.
