Croton Point Park and Ward Pound Ridge Reservation welcome pets with designated areas for dog walking on leash throughout their grounds. Pet owners must bring waste bags as most facilities have limited pet waste stations available. Tent sites at Croton Point Park allow up to two pets per reservation with verification of current rabies certificates required at check-in. The campground is located on a peninsula with Hudson River views, though some campers note the sites can be noisy at night due to nearby train activity. Full hookup RV sites accommodate pets with space for exercise, while the park's multiple walking trails provide opportunities for on-leash exploration.
Liberty Harbor RV Park offers an urban camping experience for pet owners visiting New York City, with 24-hour security and pet relief areas within the park boundaries. Dogs must remain leashed at all times with a maximum of two pets per site allowed. The gravel parking lot setup provides minimal green space, so daily walks to nearby Liberty Park offer better exercise options for dogs. Pet owners staying at Beaver Pond Campground in Harriman State Park can access numerous pet-friendly hiking trails directly from their campsites. The surrounding park roads provide additional walking routes for early morning or evening dog exercise. Seasonal temperature variations require consideration when camping with pets, as summer heat can limit hiking options to early morning or evening hours for dogs' safety.

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.

Up a hill, totally private and has a lean-to," reports Misty V. about Ward Pound Ridge Reservation. Sites cost $36-45 per night depending on season.
Beach access near campsites: Campers appreciate the proximity to swimming areas at several parks. "The beach is secured with lifeguards and shower and bathroom facilities are available. The camp ground is on RTE 287 just south of Newburgh," notes Brian O. about Beaver Pond Campground.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Many campsites offer chances to observe local fauna in natural settings. "There are lots of bunnies!" mentions isabel L. about Clarence Fahnestock State Park. Wildlife commonly seen includes deer, rabbits, and various bird species throughout the camping areas.
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, especially during peak season (June-September). "This is a small beach campground. Its all but impossible to get an RV spot there from Memorial day to Labor day. Still, it is a clean and well run campground," explains Michael M. about Nickerson Beach Park Campground.
Site variations: Campsite quality and features vary significantly within the same campground. "This is one of my favorite campsites I have been to but only because after several visits we have finally found our favorite site. This place can book up during camping season in the Northeast so make sure to book early in advance," advises Asher K. about Clarence Fahnestock State Park.
Weather considerations: The region experiences sudden summer storms and temperature variations. "There was a storm the night before our arrival date, all campers were evacuated and they did a fantastic job clearing all the debris and downed trees before our arrival," reports Erinn N. about Clarence Fahnestock State Park.

Educational opportunities: Take advantage of nature centers and ranger programs offered at larger parks. "Ranger Joe is with the kids and they have wood for purchase on site," shares Hashim C. about the family activities at Sebago Cabin Camp.
Comfortable alternatives to tents: For families new to camping or with young children, cabin options provide added comfort. "We were able to rent a cabin which was equipped with an outside grill and picnic area. It is great if you are going with a group/family and people want to sleep inside a cabin as oppose to a tent outside," explains Ethan K. about Sebago Cabin Camp.
Limited RV facilities: Many campgrounds in the area have restricted hookup availability. "This is a pricey park, but options are limited. As in almost non existent. This is a prime location for visiting the city or heading down the shore. The light rail is a block away, and the path train is about 8," explains Joe R. about Liberty Harbor RV Park.
Parking challenges: RV sites often require careful navigation due to tight spacing. "This is all about location. The closest RV park to NYC. It's basically a parking lot with a dump station. Not much else. Pick one of the larger end row sites to get a little extra elbow room," advises Keith and Tia S. about Liberty Harbor RV Park.
Pet exercise areas: While many campgrounds are pet friendly, dedicated exercise spaces may be limited. "Campsite allows dogs, however, the beach does not. They have a small dog run on the other side of the large beach parking lot. Very clean, friendly employees," notes Theresa G. about Nickerson Beach Park Campground.
