Postponing campsites can now book same-day reservations at ADK and Catskill campgrounds.

Booking Empire State camping just got a little easier for the procrastinators among us. The New York State Department of Environmental Protection now allows same-day bookings.

Of course, many vacationers make reservations weeks or months in advance. But demand for last-minute bookings is high, according to DEC. Now that camping bites you can check availability and book your spot on your way to the campsite anytime before 5pm.

“An additional 17 hours for campsite bookings will ensure availability prior to arrival and prevent anyone from arriving at a fully booked campsite,” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said.

DEC operates 52 campsites and 5 day-use areas in the Adirondack and Catskill Forest Reserves designed for campers looking for a more rugged experience, including island camping (sites accessible only by boat), camping with tents and trailers, and backcountry or primitive camping.

DEC’s new booking policy now aligns with the booking policy used by the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Authority, which operates 68 campsites across the state, offering a unique mix of cottages, cabins, yurts, and campgrounds with electricity, sewer, and/or running water connections. .

Another change to the DEC booking window is that from April 7, 2023, people will also be able to book overnight stays. want to the last minute, fill up earlier than in the past.
