Family Camping

Rangers and kids in front of tents

Friday and Saturday nights in July and August, families can join the Urban Park Rangers for a free camping experience at any of our parks within the five boroughs. We start with a cookout, then a variety of evening activities, such as stargazing and night hikes. You’ll sleep under the stars and awake to the birds. Everything is included.
