New York State is home to gorgeous natural wonders, stretching from the banks of the majestic Hudson River near New York City to the lovely peaks of the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains in the state's upstate region. Travelers have their choice of delightful state park campgrounds, which offer easy access to natural wonders like Letchworth State Park's "Grand Canyon of the East" or the many islands of Saranac Lake. Campground areas closer to the New York City metropolitan region offer the best of both worlds, including organized group sightseeing attractions traveling to the Big Apple's most notable attractions at select times throughout the year.
