SWharton Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Is this to visit NYC or just an overnight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vermilye Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Check out Croton Point County Park. While it is 30 miles from the city, the railroad station is within walking distance (1.7 miles) (or a 2.7 mile drive).

2gypsies Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Liberty Harbor is the very best place to stay for ease of getting into the city. This blogger has done it a few times and she gives very good reviews, photos and even driving directions. She has about 4-5 posts on it so don't just read one. If you have any questions she is wonderful at replying and ever so helpful. Contact her. https://wheelingit.us/?s=liberty+harbor Quote Full-timed for 16 YearsTraveled 8 yr in a 2004 Newmar Dutch Star 40' Motorhome and 8 yr in a 33' Travel Supreme 5th Wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FULLTIMEWANABE Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) We stayed Liberty Harbour 4 nights, and for pure accessibility to explore NYC we would stay there again in a heartbeat. Only worth sleeping at the CG and being out all day, as it's not an area you would want to hang around your site at all day for sure. We did enjoy one evening walking along the waterfront and around the immediate area however. It's far from what you would deem "nice RV Park", it's very tightly packed, elec at site, dump station not FHU's, dusty gravel set up and at time we stayed was extortionately high on price, but it's all about location, supply and demand, and they are so very convenient to access into NYC. We also stayed many other RV locations around the state as well NJ, upon completing directly being in the big apple. We walked an average 9 miles per day x 3 days exploring as much as we could, but Day 1, we hated the place, by Day 3 we were so in love with NYC it was a total 360 Deg about turn for us and definitely a "don't judge a book by the cover" place. Enjoy! If we can one day we would love to go back, and do it all over again. Edited August 11, 2021 by FULLTIMEWANABE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
