Hi
What's the best place to camp in the adirondacks NY and close to the nyc? Camp site that has decent hiking trails, water fall, or maybe rafting and fun things to do.
Answer
Do you know that the Adirondacks is the largest National Park in the US, bigger than Yellowstone and Yosemite combined? There are hundreds of camping areas, dozens of lakes and waterways and thousands of miles of trails. There is no "best" place to camp, almost every area is great in some way. If you want to be as close to New York City as possible, and it sounds like you want outfitter provided experiences like rafting and car-camping tent sites, I suggest you look on line at commercial campgrounds around the Lake George and Glens Falls areas, less than an hour north of Albany. These sites will have photos and descriptions of the resources and scenery in those areas.

Because August is a peak month for camping in the 'Dacks, it would be best if you made sure you had a reservation at any campsite before heading up there -- don't count on being able to just drop in wherever you want this time of year.

Is it safe to camp in a tent in Yellowstone?

We will be in a campground in the park, but people are telling us we're nuts because of the bears. Has anyone else done it? Did you feel safe?
Answer
It's safe, as long as you take reasonable precautions. Nothing should go in your tent if it smells even remotely like food. Do all your cooking, eating, tooth brushing, etc.. well away from the tent (usual guidelines say 100 yards away). To be extra safe, have pajamas or sleeping clothes and don't eat while you are wearing them. You might also avoid un-necessary lotions and perfumes - to make sure you don't smell like food. Getting or renting a bear proof food cannister doesn't hurt, but most tent sites have food poles.
