    Hammock friendly campgrounds - New York

    Might be a bit of a dumb question but here goes. Any recommendations on campgrounds, NY State or private in the Catskills or surrounding area might be hammock friendly (i.e. suitable trees to use) Often hard to determine if there are suitable hanging areas with campsites as some have just scrubby underbrush or trees that are located too far from the site.

    I am headed to the ADK this coming week and have been looking at this website: http://www.nystateparkstours.com/

    It's great at giving you a basic idea of what the campground is like at whichever state park you pick. Sadly, it doesn't show every site, but it does let you get a glimpse. I'll be able to report more when I return! (Headed to the Black River Wild Forest)

    Seeing you are in Yorktown Heights, it's been years, but if I remember correctly, Faunstock SP had a lot of trees in the campsites. I used to go camping there a lot in my Boy Scout troop. One of my buddies lives in Putnam Valley and used to work for IBM in Yorktown. A nice short drive for you.
