Spring and summer are short in New York, which means you need to schedule popular outdoor activities. When it comes to camping, the Department of Environmental Conservation says it's especially true if you want to enjoy the Frontier Town Campground, Equestrian and Day Use Area. Here's how to make reservations for 2019.

New York's newest park, starts its second season with more amenities available and a goal of having the entire "western themed" park fully operational this summer.  Day Use Areas are open year round for snowmobiling and horseback riding. Campground facilities are open June 28 through Columbus Day weekend.
