With nearly 18,000 acres of open space, miles of trails, scenic views and a host of recreational opportunities, Westchester County Parks offer ideal settings for year-round camping adventures. Whether you're a seasoned camper or just getting started, we have accommodations and facilities to suit your camping needs, from full service cabins with all the amenities to tent camping and lean-tos to test your self-reliance. There are even recreational vehicle sites available with full electric and water hookups.

 

Campers will find a wide range of things to see and do, and places to visit during their stay in county parks. You can hike, bike, fish, study nature and the outdoors or discover our local history. There are five public golf courses where you can practice your putt, an authentic early 1900's working farm, an arboretum, and the famous Playland Park, where you can thrill to exciting rides, entertainment and non-stop family fun.
