Are there any campsites that are paricularly unique? I used to stay at Lake Durant in the Airondacks and some sites are right on the lake with amazing views of Blue Mountain. Anything with a view or hike that a 4 years can do? Are there any campgrounds that you think we should avoid?

Alder Lake
Introduction

Alder Lake is a great location if you are looking for a quiet waterbody with not a lot of other boating activity. This lake is perfect for using a kayak or canoe. Anglers report of catching some nice sized brook trout. Camping is also available.
Used to be a Boy Scout Camp, went there a lot way back when

Try devils tombstone 8 miles away from north south lake. There's water spigots and an outhouse. Went there last year with my family, wife and 4 year old. Had a nice time. Real quiet. Only 20 sites or so.
the only thing is your are near the road but a great place.
If you want to stay on Long Island Cedar Point Park in East Hampton there used to be an old Light House I don't know if its still there.

Ahh, the pleasures of camping.
Being one with nature. A burger cooked over an open campfire. A beer while you star gaze.
Washing your feet in a cool stream after a long hike.
I prefer to cool my feet in a cold stream after a hike. I never wash my feet in a body of water.

I camped at indian island in riverhead and did not like it at all. The sites were way too close together and I was staring at a golf course. I'd rather drive upstate.

Looks nice, but having wifi is a deal breaker for me. I also don't like that all of the sites have electrical/sewer hook ups.

My son and I are planning a "motorcycle camping trip" this summer. We'll probably end up there.

We have camped at Roscoe Campground in Roscoe. They allow "tenters". Its on the Beaverkill River so the water feature is there. The Roscoe Diner is 5 minutes away so you can grab a hot meal if you need.

I'm going to Roscoe in April with my brothers. I went there last June for the first time. Pretty neat place. Not exactly family friendly since you need to **** in the woods.
Woodland Valley in Phonecia. Right on a stream. Good Hiking trails. If the river is high, you can go tubing in phoenicia
I've been here a number of times to use as a basecamp for hiking/backpacking. In my opinion it is not a great place to go camping for a weekend. The sites are too close together and right on top of the camp road.

Check out Harriman State Park.
Yeppers, Bear Mountain when you get there get a map and it will show you campsites. You might have to purchase a permit though, it's NYS. Used to camp there in the 80's when I was younger and
in better shape. If you go off campus there is a shelter in Black Mountain that many have used.
