Assemblyman Colin J. Schmitt joined Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, Start Parks Commissioner Erik Kulleseid today at Harriman State Park for the announcement of a private-public partnership between New York State and Tentrr.

The announcement included the opening of a new camping service with 45 new sites across four of the Hudson Valley’s State Parks. Each site services residents and visitors with tents, sleeping accommodations, and necessary equipment. The visitors just need to show up and all items are pre-setup for them, ready to use, and constantly maintained.

Reservations are now being accepted online. The fee is $135/night with a portion returning back as a funding stream for NYS Parks.

Assemblyman Colin J. Schmitt stated, “Our Hudson Valley State Parks are a public treasure. This new innovative public-private partnership to expand camping opportunities will open new access to our parks for local families and visitors alike. This is a perfect way to give more people the opportunity to experience the outdoor lifestyle in New York and explore all that our beautiful Hudson Valley has to offer while supporting private enterprise, creating new funding streams for our park system and offering expanded tourism opportunities.”
