Adirondack Park is the region's biggest attraction—literally. At 6 million acres, it's the largest protected area in the USA. The mountain wilderness is famous for its hiking trails, downhill skiing, and scenic boating across 3,000 lakes.
In the northwestern corner of the park, you find Cranberry Lake. This secluded spot is perfect for boating, fishing, or just hanging a hammock at the lake campground.
For rave-worthy scenery, you can't beat hiking at Watkins Glen State Park. Think breathtaking waterfalls and lush gorges. Letchworth state park is another favorite, lovingly called the Grand Canyon of the East. Here, you can explore 600-foot rock walls and see Inspiration Falls, the largest waterfall in New York state.
Speaking of waterfalls, no talk of Upstate New York is complete without Niagara Falls. The world-famous cascades can get crowded, but the views are worthwhile. If fishing is more your speed, make your way to the Finger Lakes, where lakeside campgrounds and boat rentals abound.
West of New York City, you come to the Catskills, home to 98 Appalachian peaks. Hiking, fishing, swimming, paddling, and snowmobiling are a few favorite activities. For a more laid-back trip, find a camping resort along the Hudson River Valley. Historic towns with art galleries and museums are always just minutes away.
From state parks to glamper-ready yurts, the region offers camping options for everyone. However, keep in mind New York state gets a lot of camping traffic. Avoid the peak season of June through August if you're looking for solitude. With some extra preparation, winter is another great time to camp—the region's heavy snowfall makes for great snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.
