Hiking trails at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation provide excellent exercise opportunities for dogs and their owners, with well-marked paths through natural settings. The reservation allows pets at its tent and RV sites, maintaining clean trails and natural surroundings perfect for dog walking. At Nickerson Beach Park Campground, the campsite welcomes dogs but the beach itself prohibits pets—a small dog run exists on the opposite side of the parking lot for exercise needs. Summer temperatures at these coastal campgrounds can reach uncomfortable levels for pets, requiring careful planning for adequate shade and water. Most campgrounds in the region require vaccination records for pets and limit the number of animals per site. Croton Point Park experiences significant train noise from the nearby depot, something to consider when camping with noise-sensitive dogs.

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.
ScoutVery nice family oriented, places the beach, which is great except for the birds watch out they come at you. They have a dog park basketball courts playground swimming just about everything.
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.
GuideSuper lindo todo!! $15 dolares la noche para los que viven en el Estado de New York o New York city .. si es fuera del estado son $5 dolares mas!! Lo mejor es reservar online y escojer el espacio pero no es obligatorio.. si quieres acampar en un area lejos y solo pues escojan la seccion W... no todas las secciones tienen una plataforma de madera para poner tu caseta de campaña.. algunas secciones son las casetas ensima de la grama.. lo mejor es buscar una seccion que esten los bańos y las duchas cerca en caso también de que se te antoje ir de madrugada ... para el mes de Agosto no habia nada de mosquitos ni moscas .. El personal muy amable .. no habia mucha vigilancia.. lo que si es llevar mucho gas y carbon y palos de madera para la fogata y estar preparado si llueve.. hay una tienda que venden palos para la fogata $12.. venden Cafe $1 . Hielo $5 ..$10 .. venden frisas .. leche y muchas cosas mas!!! Hay un lago estilo playa..bueno lo unico que los que no están acostumbrados a ver o escuchar animales salvajes es un poco miedoso en la noche!!

The region typically experiences moderate temperatures, with summer averages between 75-85°F and high humidity levels that can affect camping comfort. Most campgrounds in this area are situated below 500 feet elevation, providing relatively flat terrain that's accessible for campers with various mobility needs.
Beach activities at Wildwood State Park: This campground offers access to the Long Island Sound with a small rocky beach perfect for swimming during summer months. "The beach is fairly clean and has a small boardwalk," notes a regular visitor.

Waterfront activities at Croton Point Park: The park sits on a peninsula extending into the Hudson River, providing water access and scenic views. "There are walking paths outside of the campground that are located within the park," mentions a visitor. The park also includes model airplane fields and playground facilities for younger campers.
Platform tent sites at Wildwood State Park: Many campers appreciate the option to set up tents on concrete or wooden platforms. "This is one of my favorite campgrounds solely because there are platform sites so I can place my tent on a concrete or wooden platform," shares a frequent visitor.

Another adds that "the shelter sites are large and private with access to hiking trails and make for a unique experience."
Off-season tranquility at Beaver Pond: Visiting during non-peak times provides a completely different experience. "We stayed here on a Thursday night in September prior to taking off backpacking. The campground was clean and quiet," shares one camper. The ranger noted that "during summer weekends the grounds fill up and can be quite noisy, but mid-week during the off-season it was great."
Fire pit policies vary by location: Some campgrounds require you to bring or rent fire pits rather than providing them. At Wildwood State Park, campers note it's "lame not having a fire ring, you have to rent one or bring your own." Make sure to check fire policies before arrival.
