What are some good places to take the family camping? Not looking to spend hotel prices to sleep under the stars, but would also like something that has activities/play areas for the kids (2-8 yo). Hopefully can find something within 90 minute drive of Newburgh.
Wellesley Island State Park - ( New Window )
Four Paws Kingdom - ( New Window )
Leave all electronics for the kids at home.
Bring some celestial charts that you and the 8 year old have studied before hand and lay under the stars.
It will be magical.

5 and up year old Kids come over my house and I say lets go give the horses a carrot and they all say yea. Then it is do you want to ride one? Of course they all say yes. Having an 8 yo who can steer a horse through a 3 cone course, their confidants just grows.
Hell, I'm not the best entertainer for young kids at the house. My wife has so many arts and crafts projects, they are always busy.
So PB, taking care of 8 yr old's? Been doing that for my third generation now.
Knoebels - ( New Window )
that's where we started with my kids (not that particular one, but jellystone in general).
tons of activities for the kids.
