Secluded rv sites in ny

[Firefighter6567]

Looking for secluded rv sites in NY State that can accommodate a 30' travel trailer and pickup. Thank you.

Keuka Lake SP has some huge and private sites. Unfortunately, only about 1/3 are electric, but it's a very nice place.

Moose Hillock near Lake George has LARGE and pretty private sites. Nick's lake near Old Forge perhaps as well.

No. It's the only link to any forum. If anything it should say "Choose a forum.." something like that. Don't count on it.

It's not the fault of the new members. The layout of the front page is the culprit. The link to the forum help/support page should not be the first thing people see, but it is. Unless they scroll down, nobody sees the long list of subforums.

Until this changes, nothing will change.

Well again to those who were actually helpful thank you. To those confused about how I assumed this was a forum on finding campgrounds please see the following statement from the head of this forum:
Welcome to our RV Forum, the Best source of RV news and information related to RVs, Campers, Camping, Motorhomes, Trailer, Travel Trailers, Fifth Wheels, Campgrounds, National Parks and State Parks in North America.
Please excuse me for assuming camping and campgrounds might include campgrounds.

If you scroll down you will see the full list of subforums. This one is for help with the website, and many of the members who typically offer help to others do not bother to read it. Posting in the appropriate subforum will assure that you get help on the topic you need in a timely manner.

New York's Department of Environmental Conservation has lots of remote camping sites. Some are formal campgrounds while many others are simply a clearing by the road. The Ultimate Public Campground Project is where i found them.

Thank you for the link! Added to my phone.

Check out Letchworth State Park. Sites are huge and very wooded. We were recently there for the first time and our site was probably 100ft deep and about as wide. Heavily wooded. I'ts electric only, but did have 50 amp. Nice waterfalls and hiking . In an earlier post, someone mentioned Hickories Park... it's really just a large open field. We stay there for a few nights while traveling across the state. It's not what I call secluded. but one of the few RV CG's that can accomodate large units in that area.

Again thank you all for your help. Seems I have a few choices.

One excellent reference for state park (and other state-run) campgrounds in New York is the Camp ADK NY State Campground Photos site, which is unofficial but quite helpful. It does not cover every NY state park. (Note that the star ratings are "lakeside camping ratings" and not overall campground ratings; a one-star campground may be a very nice park and campground, just not on a lake.)

To me part of the fun of RVing is discovering campsites without the help of anyone..just a map. Could be different in the Empire State...or east of the Mississippi.

Are you looking to boondock? as in no one else around, usually free or close to it, or looking for a campground that is in a secluded area? as in others around you but not too close.

Boondocking, real boondocking, sites in the north east are pretty sparse. Used to be some in the ADK's that amounted o dirt road pull offs. May or may not still exist.

If you just want a campground that has some room between you and the next guy, check out some state park campground.

You can try looking around on https://freecampsites.net/
Just enter new york, then zoom in on the map and read the specifics on the spots it comes up with. Some might work, most will not.

Most of the free secluded spots have no caretaker, it's first come first served. Not always occupied by the most desirable folks.

National Forest campgrounds might be a good thing to look try if you haven't done so in the past.
