There are some places every traveler should visit at least once in their lifetime, and the state of New York is one of them. While many immediately associate it with New York City, there are plenty of amazing places to discover besides the Big Apple. Travelers can venture outside the city and embark on some of the best waterfall hikes in New York or visit one of the national parks. You can even find many hiking trails near New York City.

To make the experience even more memorable, opt for a unique place to stay instead of the classic hotel. There are plenty of glamping spots in Upstate New York and in other areas in the state, so why not try sleeping in a yurt? Here is a list of the best yurts in New York.

Travel Advisory:

  • The vast state is popular among huntsmen as it is a haven for a wide array of wildlife including waterfowls, game birds, deer, and more. Its hunting seasons have varying requirements for passes and age restrictions, so be sure to secure a hunting license to have a hassle-free adventure in the deep forests.
  • For lovers of on-the-go exploration and budget-friendly outdoor recreation, be sure to get your own Empire Pass Card. Serving as travelers key to New York State Parks' year-round thrills, this wallet-size card makes it easier for wanderers on wheels to have easy access and extra perks to various state parks.
  • Want a faster time in toll plazas? Get yourself, or your car for that matter, an E-ZPass. This electronic toll collection system allows you to settle your expected toll dues ahead of time, sparing you from spending more time on the road.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 07, 2024.
