One of the people I work with told me about his camping experience in Central Park this past weekend. I couldn't believe that I had never heard about this. I was born and raised in NYC and was never exposed to camping. It just wasn't something that my family or circle of friends ever did. This would be a safe way for me to try it for the first time. Now, chances of actually being able to do it are slim because it's a lottery system, but as the NY State Lotto commercials say "Hey, you never know (Oye, nunca se sabe)."
If you're interested go HERE for info about how the lottery works. Camping with NYC Park rangers is actually offered at parks in all five boroughs on Friday and Saturday nights June, July and August. The experience is free and includes a cookout, evening activities like night hikes, and
camping equipment.
