Cathedral Pines County Park

This Campground is completely pitch black at night! Cathedral Pines has these coves for the tent sites which is great for privacy. The camper area only has 10 electric sites, but 84 more electric sites are supposed to be added eventually. Since Cathedral is a huge field if it snows or rains heavily, I some sites flood badly and the snow is a pain to shovel. It's called "The Wheat Field" by the regulars, because it turns into a big sloppy and muddy field. The staff in my experience at Cathedral has been very helpful and definitely try to help you if you're in need. There are a lot of trails you can walk, but they are really popular by bike riders. There is a bike pump at the bottom of the park. Cathedral has 2 dump stations. Everything is all scrunched together here.

Great mountain biking trails that are well marked and well maintained by local volunteers. Location also offers camp grounds for those wanting a weekend getaway.

This is my favorite tent camping location. The tent camping spots are in the woods and much further away from each other than any other tent camping location, that I know of, on Long Island.

Don't be discouraged when you pull in and see nothing but flat fields with campers. The tent spots are kind of hidden along the perimeter.

They have a playground, a Picnic BBQ area, bathrooms/ showers. Ane the county offices can make or renew green key cards.

The only down side is there are no reservations for the tent camping spots. But it's pretty rare for EVERY site to be filled up. You might have to walk a mile or so to the bathrooms for the further spots that are usually empty, but you'll most likely get a spot.

Every time we camp there is a wonderful time kids get to bike ride without worrying about getting ran over bye a car...they drag big logs which they all take time to chop down bye hand to make fire..to cook food old ways and forget about civilization for a while no electronic just ourselves and mother nature and work and plan the next adventure for all the scouts
