Harriman and Bear Mountain State Parks are great and the terrain is not that bad. Though there are a few spots you can pay to go go (Beaver Pond Campground is one), but it's free to hike and find a place to set up camp. Technically, you are suppose to only camp at or near the various lean-to/shelters, but if you stay out of they way, don't destroy anything, clean up after yourself, you can camp anywhere (stealth). I have found old, non official camp spots within these parks that have fire rings and clearings to pitch a tent. I never had a problem with that.
Also, a little further north, there are the Catskills. As far as I remember, there are lean-to's, but you can camp anywhere as long as you are a certain distance from water sources and below certain heights.

Where Could I Go Camping In NYC?
Q. Me and my friends are looking for places to go camping this upcoming weekend, is there any good places to go where you don't have to pay?. Also if you know any places where your able to get there by using public transit like the Metro North or something would help, thanks.
Answer
You don't want to camp in Central Park. Woke up there once, not fun.
You could go right over the GWB and start the Long Path going into NY State.
Or, you can connect from a few trains at Penn Station to get to Tuxedo, NY train station. From there you have the entire Harriman State Park where you can camp at many of their shelters for free. You can stealth camp as well (non official camping spots) almost anywhere. I've done it many times without a problem. Get the Harriman/Bear Mountain map set from www.nynjtc.com and look for the shelters. Closest to Tuxedo Train Station is The Dutch Doctor Shelter, about 4 miles away. Nice shelter, water close, lots of tent spots.
