New York state park....

Someone told us of a cg near new york city that we could take the train from the park to the city but I can't remember the name. Anyone ever heard of it?
  • Harriman would have no utilities, while some sites at Croton Point do. Croton is a pretty small CG though. It is so much nicer since they closed and capped the landfill next to the CG about 10-15 years ago. It also used to be difficult to access the point because there was only a narrow one-lane bridge over the Metro North train yard, and you had to compete with all the garbage trucks. The bridge was eventually replaced with a larger two-lane one, which is much better for RVs. The CG is literally only a mile from the train station (you pass it on the way in). Parking on a week day may be an issue with the thousands of commuters.

    Beware, when I was there last time we had skunks around our site, and our dog almost got sprayed late at night.
  • I'm here at Croton On Hudson as we speak.That is the park your talking about. The park right know they say is booked till sept 30th. Very nice park, give them a call. I forgot TV channels are far and few and sat. Is almost impossible with the trees.
  • Croton Point Park is a County Park north of the city. There is a commuter train station just outside of the park entrance. About 1 mile from the campsites.

    About 45 minutes by train, Metro North, to Grand Central Station, NYC.
  • I've never been there but, it's probably Liberty Harbor RV Park.

  • I am not positive of the name it has been a long time since we were there but try Harriman SP I think that's right.
