Camp Gateway in Brooklyn?

Has anybody ever stayed here?
  • Haven't stayed there, but have read a bit about it. It's part of the old Floyd Bennett Field, a former military airport converted to parkland. There seems to be a consensus that driving a RV through Brooklyn to get there would be a challenge. I believe it's used mostly by local tent-campers. I have a Class B, so I've wondered if it would be suitable for smaller rigs, but I don't believe anyone who has posted here about it has actually stayed there, and there are no reviews or even a listing at RV Park Reviews.

    I also noticed they have LIMITED USE of the generator during the daytime only so you may have to watch your battery real close... Something like this I would have two or three batteries on board haha... If it gets chilly and you have to run your furnace remember the rule of thumb is ONE NITE - ONE BATTERY... Hopefully you have means to re-charge during the day when allowed to run your generator.

    I haven't been any farther north than Virginia haha

    Looks like you not getting any responses... have your read the reviews on-line...

    This is small camp ground and looks like mostly geared to TENT CAMPING. I think I only saw 20 RV sites on the facilities page. It is also NON-ELECTRIC with no hookups... Didn't notice any photos to view...

    Reviews were varied...
