parking facilities not required near New York City

[Bounder_Lew]

I want to stop near NYC at the end of April of this year. I have checked RV parks and they are quite expensive. I really only want to park and take public transport to stay downtown for 2 or 3 nights. Does anyone have experience at doing this?

Check out Metro North train stops ,you can pick a departure area,then find a campground nearby. Such as Middletown NY. might be able park a truck camper at parking lot and pay if its small rig,or else you probably need a CG.

It's been awhile - but stayed in NJ. Campground had on-site security.
Express bus stopped right in front - went direct to Transit Authority
terminal in NYC.
IIRC took about 30-45 min each way. Price was right, clean and efficient.

Investigate all your options - call campgrounds in NJ, ask questions.

You had better check the sites for off airport parking before you come. I dont know if they will accomadate a motor home. Go to the JFK airport website and then follow the links to off site parking.

JFK long term parking $14.95 per day, shuttle to lower Manhattan $23 for first person, $12.00 for second person. Sometimes you will find cabbies that will beat this rate depending on how busy the time is. Last time we were there, we got a cab for $25 for two of us in the middle of the afternoon. I would check the parking service for ability to accommodate and RV.

That maybe the rate for a car but 14.95 for a motor home seems cheap!

Park at the off site parking at the various airports. Secure, safe and easy transportation into the city.
