Niagara Falls to Long Island

We are planning a trip from Niagara Falls to Long Island and we need a stop for overnight parking before we cross over the bridges. Does anyone know of a place we can stay overnight that is close?
  • At the Pennsylvania, New Jersey border there are 2 rest areas. One before the Delaware water gap bridge and one at milepost 8 in New Jersey. This puts you about 60 miles from New York.
    If you want too stay close to the GWB take I 80 to I95 south the NJT and go to the Lombardi rest area about 15 miles south.
    Stay in rest area. That puts you about 20 miles from the GWB

    If coming down I-87 or I-86/NY 17, Harriman State Park (which seems to be in the reservation system as Beaver Pond SP campground) may be a reasonable possibility. It's just north of the junction with I-287.


    Thank you.

    We could but I need to find a boondocking spot close to the bridge.

    We have a place to stay in Carmel NY but I'm not sure how to get to the Throgs Neck while staying off the parkways. I was thinking of taking 684 to White Plains and then over to 95. I'm not sure at what point 684 turns into a parkway.
