Best RV Parks & Resorts near Port Washington, NY

Several RV camping options are available near Port Washington, though most require driving to neighboring areas. Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City offers 90 sites with water and electric hookups, providing easy access to Manhattan via nearby ferries and trains. "This is basically a parking lot with a dump station. Not much else," one camper noted about Liberty Harbor, though its proximity to NYC makes it popular despite the $120 nightly rate. Nickerson Beach Park Campground in Lido Beach provides RV sites with full hookups from April through November, including 50-amp service for larger rigs. Battle Row Campground in Old Bethpage operates year-round with water hookups but no electric service, while Skyline RV Camp has recently relocated from its original waterfront location to Noble Street in Brooklyn.

RV travelers should note that most parks in the area require advance reservations, particularly during summer months. According to one visitor, "Nickerson Beach is all but impossible to get an RV spot from Memorial Day to Labor Day." Liberty Harbor maintains 24-hour security but offers minimal amenities beyond hookups and a laundry facility. Big rig access can be challenging at some locations, particularly in Brooklyn and Jersey City where narrow streets may be difficult to navigate. Dump stations are limited, with Liberty Harbor providing one that sometimes forms lines during busy checkout periods. Several parks enforce restrictions on generator use and open fires, with Battle Row and Skyline RV Camp prohibiting pets while others welcome them with certain limitations.

    Blydenburgh County Park

    Big Rig Camping in Blydenburgh

    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. 2 miles of the Road have many areas of missing blacktop making a very rough ride with low branches. The dump station is basically not accessible to a big rig. Most of the longer sites were very difficult to level.

    Mahlon Dickerson Reservation

    Nice, small, spacious campground

    We stayed at site 15 for 5 days. The sites are nicely wooded, very well spaced, fairly level with 50A service and water hookup. Although the water spigots were shared between sites, they provide hose caddies that should reach most RV hookups. No sewer hookup, but there is a convenient dump station. There are no fire rings in the RV section, only raised grills. We had the place pretty much to ourselves during the week, but the weekend did get busy. AT&T had ok data connection with 1-2 bars most of the time. There is no satellite coverage due to the heavy tree canopy. OTA TV was very inconsistent using an external omni antenna. There is no WiFi. There is a very nice network of trails in the reservation, most if not all were leashed dog friendly. There is a very nice restaurant, Stone Water, less than 10 miles away and is right on lake Hopatcong.

    Heckscher State Park Campground

    Great Late Fall Weekend Cabin

    This was a last-minute booking for us and we were delighted with the beachside cottage, with enough amenities that mom and dad did not worry we had their cutie with us for "camping". She's too little for backpacking into the woods but finally got to stay overnight and help with the campfire!

    • Modern facility with full kitchen accessories (coffee maker, plates, wine opener, can opener, silverware, pots, pans, cooking utensils, toaster, oven), sponge/dish liquid. Microwave.1
    • Clean interior, clean campground
    • modern cottage with propane fireplace, WiFi access, bathroom with shower, large screened in porch with bar height table and 4 chairs, deck with chaise lounges, two bedrooms (1 with 2 twin beds, 1 with full), coach, chairs, plenty of clean storage places and hooks. You have everything but bedding, food, drinks, and personal items.
    • cottages far enough away from each other
    • fire ring with Adirondack chairs
    • dumpster and recycling within walking distance
    • lots of bone dry firewood around for campfire
    • walkable beach
    • beautiful
    • wildlife: deer, rabbits, turtles

    Cons

    • a bit pricey
    • playground is driving distance not walking

    Beaver Pond Campground — Harriman State Park

    Quiet, off-season, mid-week retreat

    We stayed here on a Thursday night in September prior to taking off backpacking. The campground was clean and quiet. RV hook-ups, tent platforms, and rustic tent sites were available. Our rustic tent site had a few good options for pitching a tent, as well as picnic table and fire ring.

    Ranger said that during summer weekends the grounds fill up and can be quite noisy, but mid-week during the off-season it was great. Expect to purchase firewood, although scrounging for kindling was possible. Facilities were clean and what you'd expect from a campground.

    Would definitely return!!

    Mahlon Dickerson Reservation

    Great little campground

    Mahlon 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.

    Wildwood State Park Campground

    Camper side review

    Stayed here for two nights with my popup and was surrounded by large motor homes/RVs. sites had zero privacy and were all pull through. There was water, electric and sewer hookups at each site, but this was an expensive place to ‘camp’. Bathrooms and showers were not really clean, which was surprising because most people used their personal bathroom/shower in their RV. It is close to the beach, but a very small and rocky beach. Overall, I don’t think this was the best place for us.

    Black Bear RV Park

    Great location, easy access

    Have stayed here several times - great location and nice, full hook-up sites. Back-in and pull through sites and can accommodate large rigs. A little expensive but everything is included.

    Wildwood State Park Campground

    Close to the beach and clean facility

    This is a popular site in the peak season. The beach is in a walking distance. You can swim or fish there. This camp site has a relatively new and clean facility.

    There are many farms near by where you can get fresh veggies and fruits.
