Best RV Parks & Resorts near Rockville Centre, NY
Several RV parks operate within 30 miles of Rockville Centre, offering varying levels of amenities and access. Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City provides 90 sites with electric hookups, water, and a dump station, though no sewer connections at individual sites. Nickerson Beach Park Campground in Lido Beach accommodates both large rigs and standard RVs with full hookup sites available from April through November. Closer to Rockville Centre, Skyline RV Camp offers two locations—a waterfront option with 40 sites and a non-waterfront section with 18 sites, both featuring 30/50-amp electrical connections but no water hookups or dump stations. "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'."
Navigation to these parks requires careful planning, particularly for larger motorhomes. The parkways throughout Long Island have height restrictions that prohibit RVs, forcing drivers to take alternate routes that can add significant travel time. One visitor noted: "I drove down from Connecticut to Long Island to find the main routes to the campsite all went through New York's parkways. There are height restrictions on the parkways so RVs cannot travel on them without a high risk of crashing into the bridges." Most parks require reservations, especially during summer months when beach access is a primary draw. While Liberty Harbor offers proximity to Manhattan with ferry access, Nickerson Beach and Heckscher State Park provide more traditional camping experiences with beach access. Pet policies vary significantly between parks, with some welcoming pets and others prohibiting them entirely.
