So, I love camping... Tent camping, not RV... Do you have a favorite campground? I'm in NY, but would love to hear about campgrounds all over, for future vacations etc!

    Most of the NY state parks and some of the privately owned ones as well.

    I have camped at Allegheny a bunch of times. Also in the Adirondacks. I would have to say my favorite that I have done was Algonquin in Canada. I used to go every summer and do a canoe trip where we moved camped every day

    Central Florida. The mosquitoes are evil but there are so many great places to camp here. All near water of course so there is fishing, swimming, boating.
    We recently bought a pontoon boat so my plan for the summer is to load it up with camping gear and take off as often as we can.

    Oak Creek Canyon, Mingus Mountain, Chevelon Canyon, and, of course, the North Rim campground at the Grand Canyon. All right here in Arizona.

    Ohh I love camping! We live in Northern VA, and I often camp @ Prince William National Park because it's very close to where we live. I'll like to go camping @ other locations, so I'll be on the lookout for locations on this topic.

    Edit to add: Some friends have suggested: Pohick Bay Regional Park, VA and Assateague Island, MD. I haven't been to these locations, but plan to do so this summer!!

    Mosquitos are evil everywhere lately! lol I've only camped once in Florida, and it was near Tampa... soooo humid, but lots of fun!

    I've never been to Assateague, but we have reserved a spot in August for there! I've heard it's amazing! Can't wait! Thanks for the input :happy:

    Arizona is on my list, I've never been, but think it's gorgeous there!

    Pinery in Southern Ontario. Most of our provincial parks are pretty amazing, but Pinery has everything. Carolinian Forest mixed in with Oak Savannah, so yeah, trees. The most amazing beach and incredible sunset. Close to a cute little town (Grand Bend) if you want to shop or eat out.

    Even when hunting at our remote farm (90 minutes from home), I stay at a bed and breakfast. But I work outside for a living and fish/hunt/cycle/golf often so camping just doesn't push my buttons.
