Adult Parks?, No kids please! Options

[Katiekat]

Does anyone know of a website or published material that tells where there are adult parks in New England/New York? We are a couple in our 40s - no kids, obviously - and looking for quiet parks that don't appeal to families! Anyone know of where we can start?

Thanks!

I applaud the efforts of the original poster to have the foresight to look for "adults only" parks. I've seen so many reviews blasting a campground, a KOA for example, because "there were kids running all over the place". Of course there were, you're basically at an outdoor Chuck E. Cheese.

IMO, there' a fine line between kids who are enjoying being kids, and kids who are just flat out obnoxious and destructive. I was at a state campground here in Michigan this past weekend, and there were kids all over the place, running, throwing water balloons, playing with cap guns, etc. I'm fine with that. It's the blatant disrespect for other people's property and space that drives me insane. Kids sitting on the bumper of my car, trying to pillage wood, things like that. And personally, I blame the parents. There are just to dang many absentee parents now days, it really bothers me. I'm the father of a 2 1/2 year old. Last summer, we camped a couple of times with him. The final time, he just couldn't handle it. Wouldn't stay in our campsite, threw a fit when we brought him back from his wandering. After 4 hours I left to go home, leaving my wife to enjoy the weekend to herself. Sure, I wanted to enjoy my weekend camping with my family, but it wasn't in the cards. To me, this is just common sense, why ruin other campers weekends with a screaming child. It's just what you sign up for when you become a parent, sometimes your little bundle of joy makes your plans for you, be it at a campground, restaurant or church pew. Unfortuately, common courtesy is a thing of the past.....
