Collective Governors Island houses unique glamping accommodations just a short boat ride from the hustle of New York City. The island destination features luxury yurts with comfortable bedding, electric hookups for climate control, and private bathroom facilities. For those seeking more rustic yet still comfortable accommodations, Camp Glen Gray in nearby New Jersey provides glamping options with access to drinking water, electric hookups, and shower facilities. Both locations maintain picnic tables at each site and offer firewood for purchase, enhancing the upscale outdoor experience. Mountain Lakes Park, located north of Eastchester, adds to the region's glamping diversity with yurt accommodations nestled among scenic lakes. One guest shared, "The area, as the name implies, is home to several lakes which can be used for various recreational purposes."
Hiking trails accessible directly from glamping sites create convenient outdoor adventure opportunities at multiple locations. Mountain Lakes Park features trails leading to Mount Bailey, the highest point in Westchester County, providing glamping guests with spectacular views.

ScoutThis was a great campsite nestled in the foothills of Northern NJ on the NY border. Small, clean with great views and great location for hiking , cruising etc. Bring your tent or use the existing glamping tents. Headed back for a fall weekend in the "dome" which has incredible views. Try it you won't be sorry.
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.
LegendLocation- 4 stars- close to NYC but kinda just in the woods and close to homes, not much around.
Sites- 4 stars- a real mixed bag- the rv/trailer only section is really nice, wooded. Has a classic campground feel. The other tent/cabin side was loud and not private. Ours is really great- very woodsy and private, close to amenities.
Staff- 5 stars. Friendly and helpful.
Camping Clientele- 4- a real mixed bag here too.
Amenities- 4 stars. Two pools but both were overcrowded. Playground was large and in decent condition. Mini golf looked pretty small and basic. Jumping pad was under construction and closed, oh well.
Pleasant place overall. Worked well for us as a one night stop. Kids really enjoyed it.
GuideNo frills but beautiful. Bath houses are absolutely spotless. Fire pits, electric and water hook ups only. Will return! Staff is friendly and helpful. Military families should check it out!

LegendJake from the Dyrt here! The Moon Valley Campground is an awesome spot for those who want to camp in luxury, with their awesome dome structures. The campground is also near the Appalachian trail while still only about an hour from Manhattan! Check them out and leave a review with your adventures during your stay!
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.
TravelerCampground: fairly secluded, forested, breezy with some wildlife. Small camp store. Ingress/Egress: Tight approach with multiple switchbacks and steep grades - if you’re coming in a towable rig over 36’ you might want to take a solo look first. Sites are oddly arranged and there aren’t any FHU sites. Cell: Verizon in spot C9 had 1-bar; we used Starlink for connectivity. Laundry: 3 washers & 3 dryers: $2.50 each. Dump Station: was close by (across the street) but we didn’t need it for our 3 day stay. Bathhouse: across the street, clean and we used it almost exclusively. Noise: Quiet with some small arms fire, but barely noticeable from our site. Site C9: can be viewed from Google street view site is north of the lake in the horseshoe road- some cabins are viewable as well. Site is gravel with composite picnic table, post metal grill and truck rim fire ring. Water pressure- fluctuated 30psi-50psi: hunted constantly. Cabins: available and in good order. They appear to be older, but still functional- mini log cabins $65/night (primitive-no bathroom)
GuideMahlon Dickerson Campground is a true gem. It is a small campground nestled in the woods. There are level padded sites with electric and water (in warmer months). Sites were spaced out with beautiful woods in the background. Hiking trail goes right through the campground. There is a bathroom with showers that is heated in the colder months. There is a water spigot at the bathrooms to fill up your water tanks. Dump station also on site. Each site has a nice picnic table and fire ring. I really enjoyed this campground and would go back again.
Cabin camping near Eastchester provides varied experiences from rustic accommodations to waterfront sites within 40 miles of the area. Northern Westchester County features several wooded camping areas near small lakes and ponds that remain relatively uncrowded during weekdays. The camping season typically runs April through October, with most yurt camping options in Eastchester, New York closing by mid-November due to winter weather conditions.
Hiking to mountain viewpoints: At Mountain Lakes Park, trails lead through varied terrain to multiple viewpoints. "A gorgeous piece of land that contains lakes, a lookout and Mt. Bailey, the highest point in Westchester County. A dirt road loops through the property with trails off and through it," notes one camper.
Fishing in stocked ponds: Multiple campsites within driving distance of Eastchester offer fishing opportunities in well-maintained waters. "The area, as the name implies, is home to several lakes which can be used for various recreational purposes. There are also many hikes which can be trekked straight from the campgrounds," explains a visitor to Mountain Lakes Park.
Winter sports preparation: Some parks provide seasonal yurt camping near Eastchester with winter activity access. "When we were there it was right after a rain storm and everything was a bit muddy and slippery. We will definitely be planning a trip back to Mountain Lakes when the weather gets nicer though!" shares another camper.
Year-round accessibility: Mahlon Dickerson Reservation provides camping options during shoulder seasons. One visitor noted, "Located in the Skylands of New Jersey, Mahlon Dickerson Campgound is a perfect place to spend a few nights or a couple of weeks. The campsites are paved and mostly level."
Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the layout at certain campgrounds. "The sites are wooded and large. Water and electric hookups and a dump station. Convenient for hiking and exploring, it's also only a 20 minute drive to a large mall in Rockaway," shares another Mahlon Dickerson visitor.
Clean facilities: West Point FMWR Round Pond Outdoor Recreation Area receives consistent praise for maintenance. "No frills but beautiful. Bath houses are absolutely spotless. Fire pits, electric and water hook ups only," reports one camper.
Military-only restrictions: Some campgrounds near Eastchester limit access. "Unfortunately for me, Round Pond is camping reserved for active and retired military personnel only. We drove through and the whole space is rather large. There are several signs everywhere making it clear that it is only for military," explains a visitor to Round Pond Recreation Area.
Cell service limitations: Many wooded camping areas have connectivity challenges. At Panther Lake Camping Resort, "Fun camping place to books groups. Very kid and pet friendly, lake to fish and kayak on, lots of activities, great pool and awesome hot tub. Only down side is that even though they say they have wifi, you can't hook up to it unless you are at the pavilion. And good luck getting cell service! its like a black hole of signals there."
Varying proximity to services: Consider how far camping sites are from basic needs. "A bit out here in the middle of nowhere, 15-20 minutes from any town. Make sure you have what you need!" advises a visitor to Pleasant Acres Farm.
Animal interactions: Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort offers unique farm animal experiences. "The farm has goats, a donkey, and a pony within the campground. Very cool," shares one camper. Another mentions, "Good for a quiet, relaxing weekend; not very close to attractions otherwise. My daughter loved the horses and goats."
Activity options: Some campgrounds provide structured programming for different ages. "Plenty to occupy the kids. Playground, hayride, animals to feed (goats, chickens, donkey and pony). There were some organized activities which was nice," reports a Pleasant Acres visitor.
Weekend crowds: Plan accordingly for busier periods at popular sites. At Panther Lake, one visitor observed, "We went on 4th of July weekend so the place was packed. We were able to get a secluded spot in the woods which was great! 2 teenage girls had a blast in the lake and riding their bikes around."
Site arrangement considerations: At Camp Glen Gray, vehicle restrictions affect setup. "Great Camp!!! One rustic place with many hiking trails to choose from. Camp also provides trucking of gear weather permitting. No vehicles allowed to drive through camp," notes one visitor.
Hose length planning: Water hookup distances vary between campgrounds. At Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, "Website lists water hook ups at long distances but they have hose reels to help with that. Our site (15) said 75' however the 50' hose reel made it to our rv connection."
Waste management logistics: Many campgrounds have specific dump locations. "Trash dumpster is an easy walk and the dump station has a flush hose point. Nice and easy little campground," shares another Mahlon Dickerson camper.
