What are some really good primitive campgrounds in NY state?

I’m looking for some good spots to tent camp in New York State…

I am REALLY sick and tired of the “outdoor hotels” that I have been to in the past, where there are loud families right up next to you with boom boxes and cell phones blaring. I like the idea of bathroom facilites, and a fire pit, but jeez, I don’t need organized volleyball games and a heated pool! I’m talking PRIMITIVE camping…(I know the Adirondacks are great, but where in the Adirondacks?? I don’t want anyplace with a pool or family activities! I don’t want to be able to hear anything except the wind through the trees!) I’m desperate, as many camping websites say “secluded”, but it’s never true!! (the last one said that, and the site next to ours had a fire pit literally FOUR FEET AWAY from ours…I was really bummed.) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

PS. My camping friends and I are VERY respectful of nature, and never litter, always keeping the place looking exactly how we found it. (so if you have a favorite remote spot, we’ll never be the ones to ruin it!)

    Camp a map and hike into the back country if you want a primitive experience…I used to do that all the time when I lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan…
