Wildwood State Park Campground allows pets at all tent, RV, cabin, and glamping sites, while maintaining a clean, family-friendly environment. Nearby Blydenburgh County Park and Cathedral Pines County Park provide year-round pet-friendly camping options with spacious sites for both tents and RVs. Most Suffolk County campgrounds require pets to remain on leashes no longer than 6 feet when outside of vehicles. The wooded sites at Cathedral Pines provide natural shade for dogs during summer months, while open field sites at Blydenburgh accommodate larger RVs with pets. Campgrounds with shower facilities allow campers and their dogs to clean up after hiking or swimming activities. The further campsites are typically quieter for nervous pets but require longer walks to bathroom facilities.
Southaven County Park's 7-mile loop trail around the lake welcomes leashed dogs for daily exercise during camping stays. Dogs must be current on vaccinations, and owners should bring proof of rabies vaccination when checking in. Wildlife encounters with deer are common at these campgrounds, requiring vigilant pet supervision. Ticks are prevalent in the wooded areas, particularly at Southaven County Park, necessitating regular pet checks after outdoor activities. Camping pet owners should secure food in sealed containers as raccoons are particularly invasive at Cathedral Pines. Pet waste stations are positioned near bathroom facilities, and campers should always carry waste bags on trails. During summer months, early morning or evening walks are recommended to avoid hot surfaces that can burn paw pads.

GuideI grew up in Long Beach. If you’re looking for a spot to camp so you can surf, this is perfect! It’s basically a parking lot, but it’s steps away from some of the greatest waves on the east coast. Showers are clean, there’s a dog park nearby, and the island is very bikable to get around.
benefits: allows dogs childrens playground beach programs like movie nights throughout the summer
GuideCamp Gateway in Brooklyn New York is one of my favorite places to visit. I went to college in New York, and loved to get out of the busy city and go camping and be outdoors. Camp Gateway was always a place that I loved to go. It is pretty close to town-which is crazy because you feel like you are miles away. Camp Gateway does offer a lot of different activities for everyone. One thing I love to do is go kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. My girlfriends and I tried to do this once a month to get away from the city and school. Because you are so close to the city, you can plan outdoor activities as well as some activities in the city. My friends and I stayed 1 night in the campground, and the next day went to a recital show that took us 10 minutes to get to. You can also walk, hike or ride your bike along multiple paths- I have done the Fort Tilden trail (I just walked, but there were multiple people that passed us on their bikes). Within the campground they do have some fire pits- which my friends and I always use because we love cooking smores and hot dogs for dinner. A little further away from the campground, about 10-15 miles there is a place where you can do horseback riding, see the Statue of Liberty (which is gorgeous!), and there is a little beach area. This beach area is where I do my kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. Again, its not very far away...you can either drive there, walk or ride your bike. The road is paved, which is nice. I stayed here also with my parents, and I know my dad went golfing one day (I didn't go, but he said it was awesome)- and again that was only a 10 minute drive from our camping spot. This campground like I said, does offer quite a bit. Sometimes it doesn't really feel like you are "camping" because things are pretty close by, but it definitely is worth going to and trying.
ScoutVery nice family oriented, places the beach, which is great except for the birds watch out they come at you. They have a dog park basketball courts playground swimming just about everything.
LegendWe tried this campground without knowing what was safe and where to stay for visit New York City. It is located in Brooklyn and is little removed from everything. The sites are at Floyd Bennett Field which is an old airfield. The atmosphere here is eerily cool at the same time. You basically park and camp on the asphalt by the old hangars. No hookups at all but they do have a camp store and bath house. If you are tent camping, there are some grassy sites.
The campground is located right on Jamaica Bay so there were people fishing all the time from the seawall. At night, you could hear cars doing burnouts right next to us. To get to all the action in the city, we had to take a bus and then the subway. The travel was a headache but better than trying to drive in to New York City in our RV. One way to improve here would be to have some security at night as well as access to clean water and dump station. They remained locked most of the time for some reason.
The best part of this place was the free tour of Hangar B by some guys doing restoration of old planes (HARP). They had some great stories and gave us history of the planes on display.
GuideThis place is kind of a toss up for me. On one hand, I enjoy it because it's a little slice of heaven in the hell of one of the busy areas of New York. I hate this place for the same reason. It's not really camping if you're going to see a play and then go tour the Statue of Liberty. It just doesn't seem right to me. If I HAVE to be in New York, maybe I'd consider staying here again just to get myself out of the city for a bit. But this definitely isn't your "great outdoors/rest and relaxation" kind of place.
GuideSmall campground with good electrical, clean water, sewer and a friendly owner. Each site has grass and a picnic table. There is a wonderful little frozen custard shop down the road called roses farm stand. It’s a perfect campground for seeing the local area or even catching the train to New York City.
RangerThe park itself is lovely and close to some other green areas. The nice thing about this campsite is that it’s so close to NYC. The bad thing about this campsite is that it’s so close to NYC. If you live in NYC this is a good, cheap, super quick escape accessible by public transport. If you’re visiting the area I’d recommend staying in Manhattan/Queens in an AirBNB for the full NYC experience or heading to Long Island, Pennsylvania, “Upstate” New York, or New Jersey for a better nature camping experience. For what it is, this site is a nice green little oasis. It’s National Park Service land and they try really hard to keep things clean and working well with so much traffic. Bring earplus for the airport traffic and the noisy neighbors. Tent sites are pretty and wooded, but there is also a TON of concrete from an old WW2 airfield.
GuideSears Bellows in New York is a lot of fun. It really does offer a lot of outdoor activities for you and your family. I have stayed at this campsite 1 time, and stayed 2 nights. This campground does offer tent sites as well as RV/trailer sites. When I went with my friends in college, we just stayed in the tent sites and really enjoyed it. The campground is very well kept and clean which I really liked. They do have quite a bit of garbage's to dump your trash in. One thing I really liked about this campground is that there was a river/pond close by (Bellows Pond). The first night I stayed here my friends and I rented some rowboats and went on the water. It was a lot of fun, and the price of the rowboat was pretty cheap. The next morning we got up and did some hiking. The trails were beautiful, and the flowers were in bloom. There were people who were also biking on these trails, which looked like so much fun! We also saw some people fishing in the pond- and it seemed like most people were catching. The people who stayed in the campsite next to us were cooking up some type of fish for their dinner that they caught that day. One thing to note is that there are not any electrical hook-ups, so if that is something you need you might now want to come stay here. I would love to come back here someday, but stay maybe a day or two longer to do more things- I would also bring my bike and fishing pole to do more outdoor activities. I would also advise to rent the rowboats because that was a lot of fun!
GuideThe actual beach isn't too nice; not soft sand, broken shells, and cigarettes. However, the campgrounds have nice facilities like a shop, good showers, a playground, and volleyball courts. Be noted PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED in the summer. We were not aware of this.
Long Island offers several camping options in Suffolk County near Farmingville, with sites available throughout the year. The area sits on glacial moraine at about 100 feet above sea level, creating varied terrain from pine barrens to coastal beaches. Most campgrounds in this region experience heavy summer humidity with temperatures averaging 80-85°F during peak season.
Hiking trails at Blydenburgh: The park features a scenic 7-mile loop around the lake with opportunities for wildlife viewing. "We've been going to blydenburgh it's my favorite park of all time for sure," notes Gary T., while another camper mentions it has "nice hiking, clean, close facilities and well maintained. Lake is great and only a short walk."
Beach activities at Hammonasset: Located a short ferry ride across Long Island Sound, this beach park offers swimming and sunbathing. "Beautiful Connecticut beach sits just steps away from your campsite. Well kept showers and bathrooms are abundant," reports Tiffany T., who makes it "a point to spend at least a week here every summer."
Rowboat rental at Southaven: The park provides water recreation with rental equipment available. "I rented a rowboat, and used that for a large part of the morning. They also have some kayaks available to rent as well," shares Kari M. about Southaven County Park.
Fruit picking near Wildwood: The park's location provides access to nearby agricultural activities. "There are lots of stores nearby as well as orchards to pick your own fruits. I stayed there one weekend and went to Splish Splash waterpark that's not far away," notes Giselle P. about Wildwood State Park Campground.
Secluded wooded sites: The fox sites at Blydenburgh offer a more isolated camping experience. "Group camping on the fox sites is accessible by a dirt drive in. I felt like I was suddenly transported upstate when in fact I had only driven 2 towns over," explains Linda A. about Blydenburgh County Park, adding that "other sites were spaced enough to allow a true feeling of escaping into the woods."
Oceanfront camping: Smith Point offers rare beachfront camping opportunities. "Our 36ft motorhome backed up to a raised balcony overlooking the bay. Less than 100 feet from the front of our site was the beach and the Atlantic Ocean view," describes Patrick C., calling Smith Point County Park "paradise."
Limited privacy at certain parks: Some campgrounds have closely spaced sites. At Heckscher, "the campsites are very close together without any defining borders so everybody just walks across each other site's to get to a different one," reports Jessica C., noting it's "basically a party" and "great for families who want a safe space to camp."
Insect preparation essential: Fire Island camping requires serious bug protection. "The mosquitoes are extremely potent and plentiful. Take the good stuff," advises Inocencia O. about Watch Hill Fire Island Campground, while Rosie R. cautions, "we were getting attacked by mosquitoes and horseflies the entire weekend. Even with the bug spray, the relief didn't last long."
Reservation requirements: Some parks require special permits or memberships. Suffolk County parks typically require a Green Key card for residents, and as Maria P. notes, it's "worth buying green key card for resident access. 200 but you'd spend that 4 nights regardless."
Beach cottages for comfort: Heated accommodations provide family-friendly alternatives to tenting. "Modern facility with full kitchen accessories, clean interior, clean campground," writes W.L. about Heckscher State Park Campground, explaining these units are "with enough amenities that mom and dad did not worry we had their cutie with us for camping."
Family-friendly dog areas: Several campgrounds accommodate both children and pets. "This park is about 6 minutes away from our home. It's a small park. It's great if you have little ones. Dogs are welcome. There's a large dog run so the fur babies will have a great time too," describes Karen N.
Playground access: Some dog friendly campgrounds near Farmingville offer recreational facilities for children. "Perfect place to take the little ones has a beautiful lake and a really nice playground highly recommended," says Correl H. about Southaven County Park.
RV site selection: Choose your location carefully based on view and facilities. At Indian Island, a visitor recommends getting "the sites close to water" as "they offer more to see and feel a little more like camping," while noting the park has "sites with electric, water but those fill up fast."
Parking limitations: Some parks restrict vehicle numbers per site. Giselle P. notes that at Wildwood, "they became very stringent about parking to vehicles at the site making it very difficult to visit with a family and 2 vehicles," which can complicate group camping trips.
