Statue of liberty

We are looking for a rv resort / park close to the statue of liberty. Would like to visit the island and surrounding area.
Thanks

    So dodge guy, since you are right there first hand-up-front-and-personal, how about a report? Did Lady Liberty get up and walk around last night, move from Island to Island? Or has the Island itself somehow drifted with the tide? :S (It's simply bizarre what some folks put on YouTube.)
  • And while you’re at it, how about posting a few pictures of the area including the view from your trailer. I have only been there during the day when riding my mountain bike since I live about 15 miles from there
  • It's been several years since we were at Liberty Harbor RV Park, but Lady Liberty was standing right outside our doorway. You can leave your RV, be at the train station in less than 10 minutes and into the World Trade Center or Times Square (34th St) in less than 30 minutes. It was a remarkable place to stay.
  • Yes Lady Liberty is still in the same spot she has been in since she was erected! And she was still in the same position as when I got here on Thursday. I can’t imagine she’s animatronic except if you watch Ghostbusters 2. I’ll get some pictures soon.
  • OK. Sorry guys! I’ve been busy site seeing and dealing with ignorant people, sadly most of which are U.S. citizens!!!

    Here is our site. Not too bad except the guy in the 5’er parked at an angle and was 5 feet into my site. Yes it is tight. But manageable.







    The area is pretty decent! A short walk to the path train which takes you to either the 911 memorial or 33st at Macy’s and a little bit of a walk to Times Square.
  • Have any of you that are in or have been in that area been to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum?

    If you have, isn't that Submarine next to the Intrepid something to see?

    If you are going to visit the USS Growler SSG 577, look on the crew rooster for David E. Bishop, aka on RV.NET as d.e.bishop. You may even hear my dulcid tones in the Oral History playing in the kiosk.
