Cathedral Pines County Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Reservations are available year-round at Cathedral Pines County Park, a county-managed campground in Middle Island, New York, where sites include electric and water hookups for RVs alongside tent-friendly spots. Green Key members have historically paid around $14 per night, making it a low-cost option on Long Island. Access is flexible: drive-in, walk-in, and boat-in all apply.

Site layout shapes the experience here. Wooded sites sit apart from a more open field area used by RVs. Sites closer to the bathrooms tend to fill faster and draw more foot traffic, while those farther out offer more separation from neighbors. Raccoons are active throughout the park, so food storage requires attention. Deer sightings are common. As Junior D. notes, it was "a pretty spacious park, very quiet, nice people, but not very many electric sites," which is worth factoring in if hookups are a priority.

Every site generally includes a fire pit or grill, and campfires are permitted. Pets are allowed. Showers, toilets, and drinking water round out the on-site facilities. Campers exploring sites near Middle Island will find this one of the more fully equipped options in the area. Book early if you want a wooded site with hookups, as those combinations are limited.

Decent weekend camping

Usually every site (I think $14 a night for green key members) has a decent fire pit / grill. Usually quiet, occasional deer. Be sure to lock food away as the raccoons are pretty invasive. The further camps are very far from facilities and the ones closer to the bathrooms are usually louder / taken up. Pretty cool little spot!
