Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / September 2005Campground near NYC
Because hotel rates are skyhigh in New York City we're wondering if there's a campground with an easy "commute" (probably train) into the city either in NJ or Long Island.

If you find one, Bob, let US know. We went looking, as well, to no avail. We even considered the northern end of LI, out by Montauk or so, with the idea of taking the train into the city at need from there. No soap. The only place we didn't check was Jersey... a bit far, perhaps. A couple of days after I posted in this newsgroup I posted a similar question in a forum http://www.popupexplorer.com/forum/default.asp (...may require registration, but it's worth it) under their category North East Tri-State PUX Campers and just received the following answer: "It's not LI or NJ....Croton Point Park at Croton-on-Hudson NY. County owned CG in Westchester, just outside the CG is a Train Station, the Train runs into the City." I did a google search for "Croton Point Park" and found their web site [http://www.westchestergov.com/parks/Parks.htm] with the following directions: "Croton Point Park, Croton-on-Hudson, (914) 862-5290. Route 9 north or south to Croton Point Avenue exit; head west over bridge into park." On a mapping program [Microsoft Streets & Trips 2005], it measures about 36 to 40 north of Manhattan. You might want to check the other forum to see if more responses come in. Bob Freeman, Tallahassee, FL I got another response from the post in the http://www.popupexplorer.com/forum/default.asp forum. Recommended in New Jersey is (http://www.libertyharborrv.com/index.htm). Their web site says, "See the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island right from your site", but I'm impressed with the other amenities at the Croton Point Park location. We're going to fly to Hartford next month to visit my son and skip NYC until next year and combine NYC with Acadia Nationl Park (Maine) and more of New England.
