Best RV Parks & Resorts near Cold Spring Harbor, NY
Several RV parks serve the Cold Spring Harbor area with varying amenities and site configurations. Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City offers 90 sites with electric hookups, water, and a dump station, though no sewer hookups at individual sites. Battle Row Campground in Old Bethpage provides more basic accommodations with water hookups but no electricity. "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," noted one camper about Blydenburgh Park, highlighting the challenges larger rigs face in the region. Wildwood State Park Campground features pull-through sites with full hookups, accommodating larger motorhomes with 30/50-amp service, while Nickerson Beach Park Campground provides electric, water, and sewer connections.
Access to these parks requires careful route planning, especially for larger motorhomes approaching from the north. Many Long Island parkways have height restrictions that prohibit RVs, forcing detours that can add significant travel time. One RV owner reported: "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." Most parks in the region require reservations, particularly during summer and fall foliage seasons. Dump stations are limited at some facilities, with Beaver Pond Campground at Harriman State Park offering a sanitary dump station that larger rigs may find difficult to access. Cell service varies but remains generally strong throughout the region, with most parks reporting 3-4 bars of service.
