Best RV Parks & Resorts near Hauppauge, NY
Several RV parks near Hauppauge accommodate various motorhome sizes and needs. Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City offers 90 sites with electric hookups, water, and sanitary dump facilities. The park supports big rigs and provides 30/50-amp service, though it lacks sewer hookups at individual sites. "The 'campground' is literally a parking lot with water & electric hookups. Larger rigs will barely have a yard," noted one visitor about Liberty Harbor. Battle Row Campground in Old Bethpage operates year-round with water hookups but no electric service, while Heckscher State Park Campground in East Islip provides electric, water, and sewer hookups during its May to September season. Smith Point County Park in Shirley features big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including 50-amp service.
Fall and summer seasons bring higher occupancy rates to Long Island RV parks, making advance reservations essential. Most parks within 30 miles of Hauppauge enforce strict quiet hours and have varying pet policies - Smith Point and Heckscher allow pets while Battle Row prohibits them. Dump stations are available at Liberty Harbor, Heckscher, and Smith Point, though one reviewer mentioned Liberty Harbor sometimes has lines during busy checkout periods. Navigation to some parks requires careful planning, as parkways in the New York area have height restrictions that prohibit RV travel. According to one visitor, "Google Maps doesn't have an option for large vehicles so I made my way manually and the trip took an extra hour or more to arrive than planned." Many parks offer trash service, and several provide picnic tables at each site.
