Nickerson beach campground - Lido beach (LI, NY)

I have been there two weeks each August the last four years. Actually got booted out early when a tropical storm/hurricane hit two years back, not Sandy. Came home and one day later was living in the RV for a week due to power outages. I hang with friends from LI and never ever thought I would enjoy camping literally on a parking lot with grass under the flight path for JFK. And the ride from the GW to the CG can be truly a test of your patience. Having said that, I have a great time and will be there again in August.

Thanks, A great place to stay. We did Montauk light and the city from this location. When you want to relax just take a walk on the beach!

We did stay at this park and loved it. Was told Sandy wiped it out?

I have not stayed there but live not far from this campground and have seen it. It is pretty much a parking lot adjacent to the beach with hookups. This is a county run campground and there are residents and non-residents rates. If you are coming in May it won't be beach weather yet so you should have no problem getting a site. Make a reservation just in case. It is not bad and with your tow vehicle you can easily get around to get to where you are working. As was said, you cannot access this with a trailer on the south shore parkways (or ANY parkway in NYS). Expressways are OK. Parkways are not. Travel with the trucks and you will be fine.

We stay there all the time. Most sites are back in WES sites. The only issue is getting to the campground. You cannot go on parkways on LI with a trailer, so you have to take the truck routes.

It properly got hammer by Sandy.
