Sleep under the stars as camping in Central Park starts on August 14.

The NYC Parks Department has just rolled out a lottery for family camping all around New York City, where lucky winners may camp overnight with its Urban Park Rangers as their hosts and guides. From August 8 until September 18, folks can post up for some good ‘ol family-friendly camping programs.

Some parks will feature Ranger-led nighttime hikes through the woods, storytelling and s’mores. The parks department will provide the tents and campers will only need to bring sleeping bags and bedding.

One of the dumbest ideas in a long time. The wolves in that area are on 2 legs.

I actually got briefly lost in the woods in Central Park while trying to find a shortcut between paths.

What are the odds you will be robbed, raped, and murdered on your family outing?

Camping with sucker punchers, drug addicts, rapists, drag queens. Truly camping in the wild.

Overnight camping in Central Park?

Ha, ha, ha. More great satire from the Babylon Bee.

Of, wait. This is not from the Bee.
Never mind.

In Yellowstone you can bring a gun to protect yourself against predators. No such option in New York.

Hey, if you get murdered in the park while camping, maybe Mayor Zoltar would let your family bury you in the park! Earth-conscious recycling!!

It has been going on for years in parks around the city, though this may be the first year that Central Park is included.

“””Each camping event will host about 30 people, ranging from about five to eight families. However, you don’t need to be a family to enter, as a group of friends or other camping enthusiasts may also apply. The program’s goal is to introduce camping to those who have never roughed it before.”””

Great idea, they could expand the seasons to year round, New Yorkers need this sort of thing.
