When you start planning your family’s next vacation, chances are booking a hotel is one of the things on the list.

Although there are hotels throughout Cattaraugus County in New York, the Getaway spot we highlight in the May 2015 issue of Metro Parent, many visitors choose a campsite, instead. Here are some of the most popular New York state camping sites in the Enchanted Mountains area.

Allegany State Park
