Good campgrounds less than 4 hours drive from NYC?

Question

Just want to go with a group of friends, throw down a few tents, maybe start a camp fire and drink some beers. Looking to spend no more than like $50/night and I figured I'd be there for a weekend. I'd prefer one 4 hours or less from NYC but something outstanding elsewhere would be appreciated. If you can give some information about it. Thanks in advance!

Answer 2

you can get to the adirondacks in that amount of time..you can probably get to lake placid in about 4-4 1/2 hours especially once you get out of nyc traffic then its clear sailing along scenic highways... i suggest you guys take a 3 day wknd and head to lake placid--thats where the biggest mtns of the adk's are, you can tour olympic village and the campsites are less than $50--you can get a lean-to for $30 peak season...

...but there are others parts of the adk's that are even closer...also, the catskills are only 2 hours away...

...but placid is outstanding
