Welcome!

ATTENTION: Until further notice, Blydenburg & Southaven Parks are closed for camping due to West Nile Virus.
Dear Campers,
We are pleased to announce that we will be updating the Campground reservation system for the 2011 season. This upgrade will provide a more user-friendly system by allowing users to choose their own login and password for the system and will require payment up front for reservations. In addition, the new system will allow customers to check for availability and reserve a site from the same screen, thus minimizing time it takes to complete a reservation.

In order to make the transition to the new system as smooth as possible, we will be shutting down reservations for the 2010 season starting December 10, 2010. On December 10, 2010, campsites will still be available for walk-ups at the campgrounds that allow camping during the off-season. Once the new system is in place and starting date is determined, a new announcement will be sent out via email, and posted on the Suffolk County Parks webpage to announce when reservations will be accepted for the 2011 season.

Thank you for your patience during this process. Sincerely, Tracey Bellone Deputy Commissioner


For the 2010 Camping Season there will be a new policy for generator use. The new policy can be seen here

NOTICE: Only Self Contained Trailers will be permitted after November 1st.
Please note that campsite specifications have been updated. Please check the details of your site before booking to ensure that your site will accommodate your camping unit (specifically in regards to slide out capability.)
