Beaver Pond Campground and Croton Point Park welcome pets throughout their facilities. Located within Harriman State Park, Beaver Pond offers electric hookups and fire pits where campers and their dogs can enjoy evening relaxation. Croton Point Park provides tent, RV, and cabin accommodations with picnic tables at each site, giving pets and their owners comfortable outdoor spaces. Dogs must be leashed at all times in both parks. The bathrooms at Croton Point feature powerful flush toilets that may splash water over the seat, though they remain clean and accessible. Liberty Harbor RV Park, while primarily a parking lot with basic utilities, maintains 24-hour security that helps ensure pet safety despite being in an urban setting.
Trails throughout Ward Pound Ridge Reservation provide excellent walking opportunities for dogs and their owners, with alcohol permitted and picnic tables available for rest breaks. Campers note that Croton Point can get noisy with dance music playing until after 11 pm despite the 10 pm quiet hours. The park sits on a peninsula along the Hudson River with beautiful views and a playground within sight of RV sites. Nickerson Beach Park Campground offers beach access where pets can cool off during summer months. Sites at most campgrounds accommodate various camping styles, though some places like Skyline RV Camp provide minimal amenities with just one bathroom and shower for all guests. When planning visits with pets, be aware that Croton Point enforces numerous regulations with regular patrols by park rangers throughout the day and night.

GuideI grew up in Long Beach. If you’re looking for a spot to camp so you can surf, this is perfect! It’s basically a parking lot, but it’s steps away from some of the greatest waves on the east coast. Showers are clean, there’s a dog park nearby, and the island is very bikable to get around.
benefits: allows dogs childrens playground beach programs like movie nights throughout the summer
GuideCamp Gateway in Brooklyn New York is one of my favorite places to visit. I went to college in New York, and loved to get out of the busy city and go camping and be outdoors. Camp Gateway was always a place that I loved to go. It is pretty close to town-which is crazy because you feel like you are miles away. Camp Gateway does offer a lot of different activities for everyone. One thing I love to do is go kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. My girlfriends and I tried to do this once a month to get away from the city and school. Because you are so close to the city, you can plan outdoor activities as well as some activities in the city. My friends and I stayed 1 night in the campground, and the next day went to a recital show that took us 10 minutes to get to. You can also walk, hike or ride your bike along multiple paths- I have done the Fort Tilden trail (I just walked, but there were multiple people that passed us on their bikes). Within the campground they do have some fire pits- which my friends and I always use because we love cooking smores and hot dogs for dinner. A little further away from the campground, about 10-15 miles there is a place where you can do horseback riding, see the Statue of Liberty (which is gorgeous!), and there is a little beach area. This beach area is where I do my kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. Again, its not very far away...you can either drive there, walk or ride your bike. The road is paved, which is nice. I stayed here also with my parents, and I know my dad went golfing one day (I didn't go, but he said it was awesome)- and again that was only a 10 minute drive from our camping spot. This campground like I said, does offer quite a bit. Sometimes it doesn't really feel like you are "camping" because things are pretty close by, but it definitely is worth going to and trying.
RangerVery plain & functional, no frills but right on the harbor & on the very edge of Jersey City, close to a ferry & the train that takes u across to New York City. Shopping & restraunts are right next door. We brought scooters & had a great stay! Plus you can see the Statue of Liberty from there!
LegendWe tried this campground without knowing what was safe and where to stay for visit New York City. It is located in Brooklyn and is little removed from everything. The sites are at Floyd Bennett Field which is an old airfield. The atmosphere here is eerily cool at the same time. You basically park and camp on the asphalt by the old hangars. No hookups at all but they do have a camp store and bath house. If you are tent camping, there are some grassy sites.
The campground is located right on Jamaica Bay so there were people fishing all the time from the seawall. At night, you could hear cars doing burnouts right next to us. To get to all the action in the city, we had to take a bus and then the subway. The travel was a headache but better than trying to drive in to New York City in our RV. One way to improve here would be to have some security at night as well as access to clean water and dump station. They remained locked most of the time for some reason.
The best part of this place was the free tour of Hangar B by some guys doing restoration of old planes (HARP). They had some great stories and gave us history of the planes on display.
GuideThis place is kind of a toss up for me. On one hand, I enjoy it because it's a little slice of heaven in the hell of one of the busy areas of New York. I hate this place for the same reason. It's not really camping if you're going to see a play and then go tour the Statue of Liberty. It just doesn't seem right to me. If I HAVE to be in New York, maybe I'd consider staying here again just to get myself out of the city for a bit. But this definitely isn't your "great outdoors/rest and relaxation" kind of place.
ScoutThere is only a small place for tents. Mostly people go there with campers. Not your typical campground. Very easy to hop on transit to get to New York City. People were friendly.
ScoutVery reasonable rates to pitch a tent. You get a private space with a fire pit. Ocean is close with lifeguards. Good fishing and pleasant people. Boat from New York City.
TravelerSome things you should be aware of before booking: The office, playground, dog park, pool, laundry are located at the top of the hill. Camping spots are downhill, a good distance from the office and amenities. Trash is located off site in a pullout on the road you drive in on. There are 2 showers for women and 2 for men. Both are old and not well maintained or in our experience clean, either. In general the camping spots are not well maintained, weedy, un-level and picnic tables are weathered and warped. This resort campground is composed of mainly residents, the rules (we observed) apply to the overnight campers, not the residents. Children of the residents run free all day and past curfew in the evenings unsupervised. The setting is quiet, the views from the upper level are lovely. With some updating of bath facilities, cleaning and leveling of campsites, uniform enforcement of rules, Pleasant Acres could become a resort destination.
LegendOur 4rth state in our 5 state trip is New Jersey! We wanted to see Delaware Water Gap NRA & I found a campground by Newton called The Great Divide. This is a private campground. Very scenic with a small lake, a pond & surrounded by woods. This is also the most expensive campground on our trip at $96.11 a night.
Lots to do for families- they have kayaks for camper use. Horseshoes, tether ball, volleyball, a pool, a playground, a dog park. There's a swimming beach.
One strange thing is there's a lot of tent sites & they seemed popular. For the amount of tent/popup sites they only have 1 shower per loop. They are very clean & checked often, but they're used heavily during the weekend. I had better luck Sunday evening. A bench outside the bathroom would have been nice to sit & wait.
The rv sites were all full hookup on our loop.
We came in on a Friday & found out this campground ROCKS!!! They have live bands every Friday & Saturday night during the warm months. This might explain the higher rates. Party on!

Most campgrounds in this area open from April through October, though several stay open year-round with limited amenities during winter months.
Hiking opportunities: Ward Pound Ridge Reservation offers over 40 miles of trails through varied terrain. "The many different trails are frequented by the locals as well. In recent years, the county government also allow bow-hunting of deer to control its population during the months of October to December," notes reviewer Ming R.
Beach swimming: Nickerson Beach Park Campground provides ocean swimming with lifeguard supervision during summer months. "They have a small dog run on the other side of the large beach parking lot. Very clean, friendly employees," according to Theresa G. The beach is open for swimming only within designated areas when lifeguards are present.
Historic exploration: The area contains Revolutionary War sites accessible from several campgrounds. "A quick 15 minute drive from Beaver Pond, is Bear Mountain State Park. Here you can find some of the Appalachian Trail, with various smaller trail heads for this historic (Revolutionary Times 1770s) part of the region including the one to Doodle Town," writes Steve W.
Lake activities: Many campgrounds feature lakes for non-motorized boating. "We spent 3 nights here last week... Very convenient location. My wife visited Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island," explains Kevin A. who stayed at Liberty Harbor RV Park, noting its strategic location for exploring both natural and urban attractions.
Accessible wilderness: Campers appreciate finding natural settings close to urban areas. "About 30 minutes from sleepy hollow and tarrytown NY and only an hour to central park!! Deer running everywhere and surprisingly beautiful and quaint," writes Megan B. about Beaver Pond Campground.
Raised platforms: Some campgrounds provide elevated tent sites. "The biggest positive about Beaver Pond is how spread out it was. You definitely feel like you have your own space and are not camping on top of your neighbor. Many of the camping options were on platforms which is especially nice if it recently rained," reports Ethan K.
Off-season tranquility: Visiting during slower periods offers a different experience. "Ranger said that during summer weekends the grounds fill up and can be quite noisy, but mid-week during the off-season it was great," shares Rebecca S. from Beaver Pond, highlighting the advantage of avoiding peak times.
Waterfront views: Several campgrounds offer water views. "Beautiful campsite, with plenty of space between sites. Great view of the Hudson, and playground within sight of our camper," writes Thomas about Croton Point Park.
Bear activity: Bears are present in some camping areas. "Welcome to Bear Mountain" grumbles the park ranger as he sits in complete darkness! He is in his ranger hut, checking in the late evening arrivals to the campground," recounts Steve W., noting that bears are active in the Harriman State Park area.
Wildlife management: Some parks conduct wildlife control operations. "The wildlife do roam around your campsite so be mindful of putting food and garbage away before sleeping," advises Kelvin from Beaver Pond.
Train noise: Some campgrounds experience railroad noise. "Only down side is there is a train depot right outside and you can hear them shunting trains all night," reports Andrew A. about Croton Point Park.
Evening quiet hours: Enforcement of rules varies by location. "The site was very loud (dance music) until after 11pm. Quiet time at 10pm. Great site for a party, try to stay away from this end of the site or choose a site away from other bookings if you'd like quiet," suggests Jonathan C. about his stay at Croton Point.
Playground access: Select sites with visible play areas. "Peaceful and gorgeous campsite, with plenty of space between sites. Great view of the Hudson, and playground within sight of our camper," recommends Thomas about his family's stay at Croton Point Park.
Short nature walks: Look for trails appropriate for younger children. "Short distance from the NYC, very organized, clean pond, has a playground, showers, bathroom. Your phone will have signal," shares Zorina N. about Ward Pound Ridge Reservation.
Pet-friendly options: Many campgrounds welcome dogs but have specific restrictions. "Dogs are welcome on a leash," notes Susana M. about Ward Pound Ridge, making it suitable for pet friendly camping near Bronxville, New York.
Site selection: Research specific sites before booking. "I took my 5 year old-son and wife, all of us first time campers. this place was great. The site was very nice, all the people friendly and area beautiful," shares Kevin G. about his family's first camping experience at Croton Point Park.
City access: RV campers seeking urban exploration have limited options. "This is all about location. The closest RV park to NYC. It's basically a parking lot with a dump station. Not much else. Pick one of the larger end row sites to get a little extra elbow room," advises Keith and Tia S. about Liberty Harbor RV Park.
Parkway restrictions: RVers must navigate height restrictions. "I drove down from Connecticut to Long Island to find the main routes to the campsite all went through New York's parkways. There are height restrictions on the parkways so RVs and semis cannot travel on them without a high risk of crashing into the bridges and getting the tops ripped off like a tin can," cautions Matt S. from his experience traveling to Nickerson Beach Park Campground.
Site spacing: RV sites vary significantly in terms of proximity to neighbors. "Very plain & functional, no frills but right on the harbor & on the very edge of Jersey City, close to a ferry & the train that takes u across to New York City," explains Emily L. about Liberty Harbor RV Park, noting its convenient location despite basic amenities.
