New York campgrounds are now open to full capacity. Campers who are hoping to get out and enjoy nature can finally get back to going camping again. There aren't many restrictions and the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) says that its sites are now open for full capacity according to Spectrum News.

A couple of years ago we took advantage of the beautiful campgrounds here in the Capital Region and the North Country. We went to the area where Frontier Town used to be and is aptly named after the old amusement park. It was amazing. There were sites that had a fire pit for cooking, an area to set up tents, fully working bathrooms and showers plus walking trails and lakes. I am so happy to hear that that facility is open to full capacity too.
