Here is another option Liberty Harbor CG
Have not stayed here...have heard good/bad...although everyone says it is convenient to the city.

Good luck, Bill

Havny stayed at Liberty either but its location is very convienant to the city.

I agree its very close , about 30 mns. less of a commute than the LIDO CG but a more expensive CG. I think with the transportation added in from
lido, its probably a wash.

I have never been there ( Jersey City). I think its in the $75-80 range per night. I have no idea how safe Jersey City is, I see JC on the news often but that might in isolated areas. Im would think the CG is safe because its a flat parking lot basically that is fenced in for security. Its traveling in/out of NYC to JC on public transportation is what im not sure about . Maybe a car service or cab might be better, not sure. Im not sure if there is 24 hr security on hand to let you into the CG late at night. I don't know how that works.

To be honest, I don't think seeing NYC in an RV is the way to see it . NYC is just not RV friendly.
If it were me......I would find a CG somewhere else and store the camper for a few days. Rent a car for a day, drive to NYC and turn the car in.
Take a hotel for a few days in midtown Manhattan. See what you need to see , rent a car again for the day and drive back to your TC . I would pick a Cg in PA. or upstate NY and drive a rental car 2 hrs. into NYC.
Im renting a GMC Acadia right now for $39./day. unlimited mileage.
