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.

How ,long did you stay and how ,long to see sights in NYC. Ellis Island? Battery Park etc.?
Thank you,
You may be underestimating the size of NYC. If you are limited on walking distances maybe NYC might not be for you. There is a lot of walking involved in getting to see the sights. But you can get around it.
You can cab it, but you need to know exactly where you want to go. I use the MTA subway to get around town. Again you need to know where you are going so that you take the right train.
See my post above about the water taxi. The PATH train station is about 5 blocks up Marin Blvd. There is a hack stand across the street from the west entrance to the station. but I don't know how late they stay there.
You might want to consider one of the hop-on hop-off bus tour packages like one of these Pricey, but it gets you to the sights without much walking or planning.
Allow yourself a day to go to the Statue of Liberty becasue you will want to tour the Elis Island museum on the same tour. Do the audio tours of both. You could skip Ellis Island and just go to the Statue, but why? Make it a lisurely day.
Marina security is 24/7 I have seen the guard making rounds during trhe night. I've never had a problem there.
