  • Newbie camping question

    HI, I currently live in nyc and looking to go camping the the first time. The only gear i have is an inflatable boat with a gas engine i plan to use on a lake at the camp grounds. Please help me answer the following questions.


    1) Where is a good lakeside camping location i can go in the northeast where i can go with my wife and 9 month old daughter? (will be fishing solo) Not looking for a very crowded location. (tent camping)
    2) What equipment do i need? should i bring a grill or does these places have pits?
    3) Where can I get a basic list of tools and equipment I will need?

      The state parks are always a safe place to begin with for new camping spots (http://nysparks.com/camping/). If these are too busy for you then check out http://www.campingstovecookout.com/Wheretogocamping for a list of things you can do do research camping spots on your own.

      This link has some information for general gear lists (http://www.campingstovecookout.com/checklist). This one has been helpful for me over the years. Let me know if this was helpful.

        If its not too far for you, Nickerson State Park has 400 sites on 1,900 acres. There are hot shows, many toilets, great spring fed lakes and great ocean beaches. You'll be able to go fishing and your wife and daughter can go to the ponds or playground. There are plenty of children, many less than a year old.

          If you live in NYC , Floyd bennett field should be great for what you're looking for. It located in Flatbush brooklyn , flatbush S exit on the Belt parkway. Its great because its a gigantic airport used in the 50s.. they turned the place in camping ground, the camping ground is located in a separate part from the fishing. You can go out on you boat to fish in the body of water thats their. Many people fish on the beach , some fish in the water. Its great , you can check it out... just google Floyd bennett Field camp gateway
