Brighteyes Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 We love to go camping. Haven't been able to go for the last couple of years, though. Looking forward to going this summer. Can't wait. Only have a tent and have been camping lots of places - Like near Lake George for about 11 days once, up in Maine near Acadia Park - beautiful, near Grand Canyon, PA., Cooperstown, NY, and used to go to Echo Lake in Afton until it went down hill with druggers and lowlife. I have to have a shower and bathrooms though, not into squatting in the woods. We have been rained on, even snowflakes before, and wicked heat. It toughens you up a little and was good experience for our daughter. Having a campfire at night is like one of the best things there is. Another good place to go is Herkimer and there is crystal mines there where you can dig for crystals and smash the rocks and get the crystals out. Lot of fun.

Rick Shaw Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I have a class "A" motorhome, a 34 foot Fleetwood, Pace Arrow and we travel all over New York. Some of the best places are Lake George, Sylvan Beach, and Taughannock Falls. I was a member of a Winnebago club and we met once a year at different camp grounds in Pennsylvania and Ohio. I enjoy New York campgrounds the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic Witch Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 We live far enough out that all we have to do is walk down the hill in our backyard to the woods to go camping!!! I do miss living by the river though, because there I only had to walk out my front door and go about 100 yards to the dock to go fishing. Unfortunately, after the second flood, it was time to get out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

321 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I love camping - all summer. We have a huge tent with blow up mattresses and the works. Even a propane portable stove. When we're not at a park, the tent is set up in the back yard, thats just like a camp ground with fire pit and all. Last year we went to Grass Point at the 1000 islands, nice place. I prefer State parks because I too have a problem squating in the woods. Must be a female thing. The world is not our toliet like it is for men. We've been all over, from Maine to the South. thinking of heading west this year and also purchasing a RV, getting to old to get up off the ground. Love it, Love it, Love it. Actually, I'm kind of set on seeing the Grand Canyon this year. Kids will love it. I love the State of Tenessee its just totally beautiful. Gaitlensburg is my favorite. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I love the Adirondacks, but will only go up in the very early spring or early fall when the weather is tolerable but most importantly to avoid the crowds. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grammy838 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Grand Gorge and Long Pond. A friend of ours has a cabin in Grand Gorge. The only thing the cabin has is an out house. Love it. Take the tent to Long Pond. I like to go to the one site across the road from the pond though. It's alot bigger and more private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's alot bigger and more private. the last couple of times we were @ long pond i was dissappointed in the condition of the campsites. alot of garbage all around, and the people camping there seemed pretty crude. still all in all it's a beatiful spot. we like to paddle across the pond and camp. coupla nice sites over there. you remember upper lisle campground?

That is one of the reason's why I like the spot across the road. Just the one site and no one bugs ya. Hard to get it though. You have to go up early on a friday and set up and not leave it. My sister-in-law was up there a couple of years ago and when we found out she was there- we packed up and left. I love her and everything, but she can be extremly stupid when it comes to manners. (out of 5 kids, she was the only one that turned out that way.) I've never been to upper lesle campground but my husband probably has. He grew up in that area. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George W Bush Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I've got a secret spot in the middle of JC behind Floral Park. If its the place I am thinking about its not much of a mystery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania is a beautiful place. There is plenty of camping in that area. Sylvan Beach can be fun too if you're looking for someplace not to far away. The Adirondacks are always beautiful and the Catskills. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
