RVing to New York City
I'm planning a trip to see the fall colors in New England. I'd like to tour NYC, but can't find RV parks near the City. Any help would be appreciated.

Liberty Harbor, located in Jersey City, NJ, is the spot you need. I stay there when I need to go to the city. The "campground" itself is basically a chunk of a hugh commuter parking lot that the owner fenced off and added some electrical and water connections. But it is all about location. Used to be surronded by industry and scrap yards but they have cleaned it all up in anticipation of building new high rises and office buildings. 
There is a water taxi that leaves from the marina M-F starting at around 6 am and takes you on a 10 minutes cruise over to Pier 13(?) on the East River (foot of Wall Street), or you can walk up Marin Blvd and catch the PATH subway train at the Grove St station. It will take you either to 34th Street (an MTA hub) or to the World Trade Center
As you alreadt figured out, you won't get to much closer than 50-60 miles if you want a nice park. Croton Point or the KOA in Newburg, NY (sic) are your best choices. Stayed at Black Bear in Florida, NY once...would not return. There is a County park in Orange County called Winding Hills Park (Montgomery, NY)..clean, nicely wooded. but no hook ups. Don't know the size or type of your rig, but if you have a smaller rig and you don't mind boondocking, you might check it out.
