Long Island offers a large range of easily accessible campgrounds if you wish to spend some free time under the stars. Surrounded by ocean, Long Island is known for its wonderful white sandy beaches that provide campers not only a range of activities but spectacular views.
Some campgrounds allow camping on the beach (I love those!). Most campgrounds can accommodate both tents and RVs of all kinds and provide at least basic services such as water, sewer and electricity.
Most Long Island campgrounds are seasonal but a few that are located in larger parks are open year around and offer trails for cross-country skiing. Many campgrounds offer a range of activities.
