Need a base camp RV park for touristing in NYC

We are looking for a location outside of the NYC craziness where we can park, take the toad to a commuter station and then ride into the city to see things like the Colbert Show.

Any suggestions or ideas?
  • Liberty Harbor. You can walk to the subway station that takes you across the river to NY. Great views. Manhattan, statue of liberty, etc. We stayed there for 4th of july several years ago. That was a great show. Gravel sites. More like a parking lot, but hookups. Not a resort, but it works for the purpose.
  • Liberty Harbor and Croton Point are the two that come up again and again. Liberty Harbor is quicker to get into the city; Croton Point (in Westchester County) is a half hour walk or a quick drive out the gate to get to commuter rail, and then the better part of an hour to get to Grand Central.

    Croton Point has nicer sites (trees, a little room, etc.)
