best cheap tents for camping image

Need a fairly cheap tent campground with basic bathroom and drinking water facilities near hiking trail(s). Looking to head there Friday evening after work and return Sunday evening on a train and/or bus.

Thanks!

Manhattanites have always considered Brooklyn to be something of a wilderness, but it may still come as a surprise to learn that you can actually camp thereâand weâre not talking about sleeping on the sidewalk. This abandoned-airport-turned-national-park in Marine Park has room for about 100 campers, each site with a fire pit and picnic tableâand not much else. (It may be the only place in New York City where holes in the ground are considered acceptable bathroom facilities.) Itâs a little slice of serenityâ¦with bonus noise from JFK-bound planes that occasionally fly nearby!
Price: $50 per campsite for a three-night stay.
Getting there: Take the 2 or 5 train (at rush hour) to Flatbush Avenue and transfer to the Rockaway Parkâbound Q35 bus. Call 718-338-3799 for reservations.

Where in the Albany area should I camp?

I drive a 20 foot camper van. I *do not want hookups, too expensive*. Just tent camping / primitive camping where you can park your vehicle on site. The cheaper the better. Anywhere in the Albany area you'd recommend? It's hard to find camping open this late in the year.

albany ny??? the adk loj up near lake placid is open all year--only about 2 hours from albany and in the heart of the High Peaks..about a mile from the loj is a dirt road called south meadow with free campsites but you can thave a fire is the only catch
