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.

Within a year, Central Park will be the largest urban homeless encampment in the the world.

When I camp out I have to worry about bears, wolves, and mountain lions. In other words, it’s lots safer than Central Park.

Memories of the "Wilding days" and Bernie Goetz.
Tent campers in NYC are technically called "Bait".

The homeless are welcome to stay as long as they wish. Stoopid New Yorkers.

Reminds me of Season 3, Episode 3 of the old "Amos 'n' Andy" television show: "The Vacation Show."
After the Kingfish blows the entire family vacation budget, Calhoun helps him dupe Andy into believing he's paid for a cross-country camper trip, when in reality he never leaves Central Park.
