Verona Beach State Park is nice and close to home. Also close to Utica and Rome. The kids love to hang out at the splash pad and the state recently revamped some of the playgrounds.

Nicks Lake Campground has always been one of my favorites. It has a great little swimming area and close access to a lot of activities for the kids. Motorized boats are also not allowed on Nicks Lake so it is very peaceful.

Beautiful state campground in the heart of the Adirondacks. Well maintained, peaceful with wonderful fishing, swimming and water access. Lots of hiking right from the park and some of the best views within a short drive and climb.
