Best RV Parks & Resorts near Centerport, NY

Several RV parks operate within driving distance of Centerport, New York, providing varied options for motorhome travelers. Nickerson Beach Park Campground in Lido Beach offers big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including 50-amp service from April through November. Just 15 miles east of Centerport, Battle Row Campground in Old Bethpage provides year-round RV sites with water hookups but lacks electric connections. Heckscher State Park Campground in East Islip features electric hookups with both 30 and 50-amp service, sewer connections, and a sanitary dump station during its May to September season. Cathedral Pines County Park in Middle Island maintains year-round RV sites with electric and water hookups. "We have a 42 ft 5th wheel toy hauler. A few Big Rig spots are available, but this is a Suffolk County Campground that is not well maintained. The dump station is basically not accessible to a big rig. Most of the longer sites were very difficult to level," notes one RV camper about Blydenburgh County Park.

For RV travelers planning trips to the Centerport area, navigating Long Island's parkways requires careful route planning as height restrictions prevent RVs from using many direct routes. One visitor noted: "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 cannot travel on them without a high risk of crashing into the bridges." Cell service is generally strong throughout the region's RV parks, with most reporting 3-4 bars. Reservations are required at most campgrounds, with online booking systems being the primary method. Pet policies vary significantly between parks - Nickerson Beach and Heckscher State Park welcome pets, while Battle Row Campground prohibits them. Dump stations are available at Nickerson Beach, Heckscher State Park, and Beaver Pond Campground, though accessibility for larger rigs may be limited at some locations.

    Blydenburgh County Park

    Big Rig Camping in Blydenburgh

    We have a 42 ft 5th wheel toy hauler. A few Big Rig spots are available, but this is a Suffock Co Campground that is not well maintained. 2 miles of the Road have many areas of missing blacktop making a very rough ride with low branches. The dump station is basically not accessible to a big rig. Most of the longer sites were very difficult to level.

    Indian Island County Park

    Great location, beautiful views

    Wonderful weekend visit in the off season. Site was level, pretty spacious and easy to back into. Campsites are located close enough to the beach/marsh. Multiple playgrounds for the kids although they were closed due to Covid. No sewers sites that I could tell, and water was off because we were a week shy of the season opening. Needed to move to dump station prior to leaving (2 night visit) and had to drive to fill the fresh water tank once while there. Nice neighbors. Dog friendly. People obeyed the quiet hours. I have not one complaint. There were hiking trails and geocaching on site. 4 stars bc no sewer at the campsite and we like full hook ups and honestly I’m guessing this is a county rule but the playgrounds could’ve been open. Outside and socially distanced after dealing with Covid for a whole year and most local parks and playgrounds being open since last May... that was upsetting. All in all we had a great weekend. Close to the LI aquarium as well! Many stores and a golf course near by too!

    Hammonasset State Park Campground

    large family friendly campground with beach access

    Hammonasset Beach State Park Campground is huge, family-friendly, and has direct beach access from the campground. There is no lifeguard on duty at the campground beach but lifeguards patrol the beach a mile or so north within the park. Smaller (car-top) boats can be launched from this area as well.

    The campsites do NOT include a fire pit (or grill). You must bring your own or there are fire tub rentals available at the campground store.

    The park includes a Nature Center complete with exhibits and activities, and hiking trails. Bald eagles can be seen on the nature reserve.

    Expect long lines at the state park entrance fee station on the weekend if the weather is nice.

    Riverdale Farm Campsites

    Great camping near Mystic off I-95

    This is a really nice family campground just a mile or so off I-95 in Clinton, CT. It is about 20 miles from Mystic and the historic seaport center. Most of the roads are paved, the sites are large and level, there are full hookups, and a dump station. There are a lot of seasonal residents, but still plenty of open sites for travelers. There is a playground, game room, “adult ” lounge, a laundry, a swimming pond, and river access for fishing and swimming. Internet is an extra fee! ($6/day) The road into the campground is narrow and winding, so larger RV mss as y have trouble, but there were several of them there when we were there. There is a security gate at the entrance.

    Heckscher State Park Campground

    Great Late Fall Weekend Cabin

    This was a last-minute booking for us and we were delighted with the beachside cottage, with enough amenities that mom and dad did not worry we had their cutie with us for "camping". She's too little for backpacking into the woods but finally got to stay overnight and help with the campfire!

    Hammonasset State Park Campground

    Peaceful 4th of July 2020

    This campsite is near the shore in my home state of CT. It took a little over an hour to get here. Our spot was near a large salt marsh.

    The park and beach were full occupancy for campers without reservations. I saw no tents - maybe due to COVID. There are ample bathhouses but the one near me is locked up. I suspect the others may also be closed.

    A pair of geese and their goslings came to visit. See video and pictures.

    No campfires allowed without a fire pit. You can rent one at the small camp store for a $20 deposit plus $12 first night the $2 each night - pay in advance.

    Sites are large and clean. My site has trees for shade and a place to hang my hammock. But the park officials made me take it down :(.

    Water hookup but no electricity on our sites. Water for drinking only was on my site but you can’t connect with a hose to your camper in most of the less expensive sites. There are more expensive sites with full hookups but no Wi-Fi.

    Price of my site is very affordable around $20 a night.

    I saw 2 dump stations near exit. Supermarkets a few miles down the road.

    Easy to walk to the beach. Plan to kayak. There is a boat launch at Meig’s Point where you can drive 100 feet from the water to unload from your car. Lovely small beaches, walkways and jetties for fishing or photos of nature.

    Beaver Pond Campground — Harriman State Park

    Quiet, off-season, mid-week retreat

    We stayed here on a Thursday night in September prior to taking off backpacking. The campground was clean and quiet. RV hook-ups, tent platforms, and rustic tent sites were available. Our rustic tent site had a few good options for pitching a tent, as well as picnic table and fire ring.

    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. Expect to purchase firewood, although scrounging for kindling was possible. Facilities were clean and what you'd expect from a campground.

    Would definitely return!!
