The station maybe .8 from the park entrance. However you still need to get from the CG to the park entrance.
From there it is about an hour train ride to NYC grand central station?
Croton is a good place but you'll spend quite a bit of time traveling to NYC vs. Liberty harbor.
I'll be honest I wasn't tired doing the walk to the picnic grounds at Croton but again I wouldn't suggest it for a longer stay. Another nightime walking problem would be there are limited sidewalks (how I know I'm in "the country";))and even less street lights.
I think the Liberty vs Croton choice boils down to this: pay $95.00 daily for a short commute (10-15 minutes) and stay in a parking lot w/ some pretty views, power and electricity w/ dump station or stay in a spot more like a SP (Croton is run by the county) with an average daily rate of $45.00 and a 1 hour commute, still with hook up amenities.
