Another recommendation for Liberty Harbor Campground - easy access by subway (NJ PATH) to Manhattan in addition to a water ferry right next to the campground. You will not have to deal with NYC traffic or problems at all. Plus it is one of the few safe places to leave your RV - even for a day. This campground is just a paved parking lot with hookups and security. Nothing fancy - right on the river.
Anyplace else means commuter trains and expensive transportation. Don't put yourself hours away when this campground is 20 minutes away for a few dollars subway fare.
When driving there follow the trucks - never get on anything in NY named "parkway" - you can't go on it in an RV. Yes, there are lots of low clearances and propane restricted tunnels. Again, route yourself in advance how the trucks go.
While here you can do anything you would like to do in Manhattan and visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island too.
If you are saying that you don't want to be near NYC and just come to the area to park the RV and visit the Statue of Liberty, there is no place to park your RV - don't even think about it. If you want to stay a hundred miles away then find some place with a train and ride the two or more hours each way with the commuters and pay more than staying a night at Liberty Harbor for the train tickets for two.
