One of my favorite parts about traveling in the northeastern U.S. has been discovering how much more there is to the state of New York than just New York City. From the hiking trails to the vineyards, fall foliage drives, and small-town festivals, you can really find some amazing outdoor experiences and fun weekend getaways throughout this region. To take your outdoorsy trip to New York one step further, consider booking overnight glamping accommodations, such as a camper, tent, cabin, or yurt.
