Ok folks,for those who like off season camping both late and early season here are a few campgrounds you can get away to that are FREE!
From Columbus Day until opening day of the next year camping is free but the ranger does patrol so if your going to be there for more than 3 days you just need to let him know when he drives by and he'll give you a permit.
1.Eighth Lake: They leave the main loop to the lake open.
2.Brown Tract pond has a few sites along the enterance that remain open.
3.Golden Beach State Park has a few sites along Rte 28 open.
4.Indian Lake State Park has some along Rte 30 next to Indian lake.
5.Limekiln State Park: Has one site open.
6.Bowman Lake State Park: However there is a fee of $12 per night and if you like winter camping they keep 4 sites plowed.
Just note that after Columbus Day these I mentioned become "Bring In Bring Out" and you will need to bring water with you.
