Best RV park for NYC visit?
Planning a trip in late May to NYC and need to find a good RV park/resort for a few days stay. Would appreciate suggestions on a location with good access into the city. ?? Thanks, John

Some will tell you to stay an hour or two out of the city and take the train in, but you will end up spending all your time traveling instead of visiting. Stay at Liberty Harbor RV Park, which is right THERE. You will be across the Hudson from Wall Street and can take the water taxi from the campground or you can walk 2 blocks up the street and take the light rail into World Trade Center plaza or to Times Square (34th St.) That option is much cheaper.
Unless you try to go during rush hour (7am-9am), you can walk up, hitch a train and be at WTC or TS in less than 20 minutes.
The campground is nothing to write home about - it's a parking lot with water/electric at the back and you have just enough room to put out your slides or awning, but you aren't there for the ambiance of the campground. They have nice shower houses and laundry and a dump station. It's still pricey for that convenience - we paid $85/night a few years ago.
You won't regret staying that close and we felt very safe walking back to the campground from the train station through a pricey residential area, even after midnight with our two daughters, who were 9 and 6 at the time.
