Camping on Long Island

From its incredible shoreline to its wonderful wooded acres, Long Island is beautiful. Sometimes we lose sight of its natural beauty as we go from home to car to office to shopping mall and back home again. What better way to appreciate this wonderful region than a vacation spent camping here. Campgrounds exist across the Island, though many are located in Suffolk County. Choose from state, county, and national parks, and private facilities.
