Best RV Parks & Resorts near Elizabeth, NJ
Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City provides the closest RV camping option to Elizabeth, New Jersey, with 90 sites offering water and electric hookups (30/50 amp service) but no sewer connections at individual sites. Located just 15 miles northeast of Elizabeth, this park functions primarily as a base camp for exploring New York City, with ferry access nearby. Skyline RV Camp offers two locations - a non-waterfront option with 18 sites and a waterfront location with 40 sites, both providing electric hookups with 30/50 amp service but lacking water hookups at the sites. For those willing to travel farther, NWS Earle RV Park in Colts Neck (about 30 miles south) features big-rig friendly concrete pads with full hookups, operating seasonally from April through mid-November. "The sites are level concrete with full hookups and attached concrete patio. Power is at the far back and sewage is in the middle," noted one RV camper.
Navigating to these RV parks requires careful planning, especially for larger motorhomes. Liberty Harbor has been described by visitors as "literally a parking lot with water and electric hookups" where "larger rigs will barely have a yard." Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region, with most parks reporting good coverage for major carriers. Dump stations are available at Liberty Harbor and NWS Earle, though one visitor mentioned that "on a slow checkout day, you might get lucky enough to not wait in line for the dump station" at Liberty Harbor. Most parks in the area accept pets, but Military Park NJ National Guard Training Center RV Sites (open Memorial Day to Labor Day) does not allow pets despite being big-rig friendly with full hookups. Reservations are strongly recommended for all RV sites in the region, particularly during summer months and weekends when New York City tourism peaks.
