Looking for some good campsites for our family. Need to know what's good for children to have fun too??


Answer
There's so many places to camp all over California! Yosemite Valley or Touloume Meadows. all along Hwy 49, Lassen National Recreation Area, anywhere 1 hour from Redding, Ca Lake Tahoe, Lake Shasta, Redwoods, National Park along Hwy 1, Death Valley in the Spring, Mono Lake are just a few of the areas I like to camp. My favorite is the Redding area though. I lived up there for 15 years and miss it very much! When I lived up there I could drive 1 hour in any direction and be in some of the most beautiful and desolate areas to camp, and I camp almost every weekend. Try Burney Falls State Park or drive up to Hat Creek. It really depends on what you and your family likes to do when you go camping. I love to just camp period, but if there's fishing then I'm in seventh heaven! I just love the outdoors and spend as much time in the wild I can under the stars or in a tent in inclimate weather.

What is the best place to camp in Adirondacks NY?

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.
