Clarence Fahnestock State Park — Clarence Fahnestock Memorial State Park

Perfect campground just a short drive from NYC!

I live on Long Island in Suffolk and only drove 2 hours to get to this campground, so I wasn’t expecting such peace and isolation. It was incredible! It was so quiet at night—not a sound after 11pm during my visit—and in the morning we could hear birds and smell campfires burning. The site was also surrounded by wild raspberry and blackberry bushes which was an amazing surprise. The site also had two trees that were the perfect distance apart for a hammock. My only complaint is that the restrooms were very small and cramped. I could see someone larger having a difficult time getting in and out of the stalls or using the showers. It’s one of the worst restrooms I’ve seen at a NYS public park.
