<< want to go kayak camping over Thanksgiving somewhere on Long Island,

 open at this time of year (or any time of year, for future reference)? Any 
 help is much appreciated.

Judy, 

I don't know of any on the Long Island Sound side of the North Fork, but I 
know of two on the south side of the North Fork on Peconic Bay.  I can't 
remember their names off hand, but could get them for you if you'd be 
interested in them.  One is a short distance out of Riverhead on the 
northwestern end of the bay.  The other is on the south side of the bay and 
central.  I just remembered the name of that one.  It's Cedar Point, and I 
believe it's a Suffolk County Park. I think the other is a Suffolk County 
park too.  I understand there's no problem camping in them off season.  I 
keep planning to go kayak camping in that area, but haven't yet gotten to it. 
 Let us know of your experience.
