The Empire State’s 9 million acres of parkland contain one national recreation area and 235 state parks. New York State camping is unique, from backpacking in the Adirondacks and Catskills to restful days kayaking in the Finger Lakes and sunbathing on Long Island’s beaches. The Atlantic Coast is also home to museums, historic sites, and cultural attractions. While here, you should make time to visit Niagara Falls State Park.
