Be Camping in NY this Season
Wife had her final day of work today. She was given a NYS Parks gift card with 300 dollars on it. Looks like we will be checking the state parks out this year.

Yanno how you can ignore places close to home cuz you can get there whenever you want? Been doing that a lot w/ NYS of late, LOL. Still, I've fond memories. Adding to the list of good uns:
Taughannock Falls- spent a few lovely summers camping there as a quasi starving student at Cornell during the bad ol days when reservations weren't computerised. Great kid programs which made life easier for the ex as he watched the kiddos. Nice inn (can't recall the name)within the park for special occasion meals and brunch. Walks and trails, nicely marked out, of various duration and difficulty, that take you up and down the falls.
Buttermilk Falls- more strenuous trails; not so much for the sedentary. Typical Conservation Corp construction.
Saranac Lake Islands-not for RVing although you could prolly park it in the village but great boat access only campsites. Some of the islands only have one site per island. Truly nice if you crave solitude. Lower Saranac sites sre closest to town; mid sites are more secluded.
