Beach camping near Montauk

Montauk was made for laid-back stays by the sea, and you don't need a Hamptons mansion to get the most out of Long Island. Montauk beach camping beckons to all kinds of campers, whether you're planning a quick family trip to a rustic campsite or a summer stay in a modern vacation rental. While RV camping is especially popular along Suffolk County's sandy beaches, you can easily pitch a tent at a seaside campground or book a cabin with enough amenities to keep you coming back. You can visit Amsterdam Beach State Park or Hither Hills State Park for serene hiking trails and post-swimming naps beneath the bluffs. Many campsites also boast pet-friendly rentals, but if you don't have an animal of your own, opt for a horseback riding lesson instead. You'll have an unforgettable adventure—and a new four-legged friend.
