Enjoy the Atlantic sea breeze at a Long Island beach campsite.
Whether you're from the area or traveling from out of town, Long Island's beaches are a camper’s dream. Located on opposite ends of the island, Montauk’s Hither Hills State Park and Nassau County's Nickerson Beach Park boast all kinds of campsites perfect for a week-long vacation with friends or a weekend getaway from New York City. Wildwood State Park is another popular campsite chock full of rentals on the Long Island Sound, with restrooms, picnic areas, and beach access to Suffolk County's trademark white sand shores. Explore your beach campground by bike, head to Fire Island's hiking trails, or stop by Lido Beach for a quick dip in the Atlantic Ocean. Beach camping sites for tents and RVs are most enjoyable in the warmer months, though Long Island campsites make for a welcome retreat year-round—there’s no shortage of shopping or surfing in the shoulder seasons.
