Where to go camping inexpensively and without a car near NYC?

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.

What is the best 6-8 person tent that can stand up to a HARDCORE rain storm without getting the occupants wet?

I went camping with this cheap tent I bought a couple years ago and lets just say that trip was not exactly the driest ever. I need something nice that will keep me dry in rain storms and big enough to have a my friends camp with me. I'd like to keep it under 1000 dollars.
