Limited equestrian camping options exist near Roosevelt, New York. The available campgrounds in the area do not specifically advertise horse-friendly facilities or horse corrals according to their feature lists. Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City offers RV camping with water and electric hookups but lacks dedicated equestrian facilities. The park primarily serves as a base for exploring New York City rather than for trail riding activities. Sites are arranged in a parking lot configuration with minimal space between units.
Allaire State Park, though temporarily closed for renovations, historically offered more natural camping options including tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and yurts. The park features hiking and biking trails but does not specifically list horse corrals or equestrian facilities in its amenities. The park contains a historic village and seasonal events that attract visitors. Trail systems throughout the park provide recreational opportunities, though highway noise is noticeable from the campground. Bathroom facilities at both locations receive mixed reviews regarding cleanliness and maintenance. Horse owners seeking dedicated equestrian camping would need to look beyond the immediate Roosevelt area for facilities with proper horse accommodations.

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!
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.
GuideThis 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. If it's packed, your neighbor with be within inches of your rig. Pluses, minutes walk to the Statue of Liberty, liberty Science center. Two blocks away from NJ Path train into Manhattan or take the ferry to Wall Street!
TravelerBasicly a parking lot, but the location can't be beat. 2 ferries that run to Manhattan. Path train is a 12 minute walk away that will take you yyo manhatten. Jersey city has a lot of restaurants and bars walking distance. Wonderful state park, liberty park, a bike ride ride away. Our experience was very good.
They also have a clean laundry room on site.
LegendAllaire State Park is a favorite spot of mine. In addition to their tent sites and group gathering areas (we have had several family reunions here), we enjoy all the activities! There is a historical village where you can visit a blacksmith shop and other spaces to learn about the history. They have a flea market many weekends in the summer months and in early fall. They also. Have Halloween themed events like a hayride. Lots of walking paths surround the park & you are also close to Belmar, Point Pleasant, Manasquan (all fun shore towns). Bathroom maintenance could use some sprucing up, but other than that- great place to visit.
RangerThis RV park is literally just a parking lot and quite expensive for what it is.
The location is great, but the surrounding streets may be hard to maneuver with an RV if youâre a newbie. You can see the Statue of Liberty from the park, and there were several cafes and restaurants within walking distance.
If youâre looking for actual amenities, this probably isnât the park for you. But if you just need a base camp for doing tourist activities in NYC then this place will do.
There is 24 hour security which is nice as well. We felt safe while we were there, but it was also fairly empty too.
GuideSo... the âcampgroundâ is nothing special. Literally a parking lot with water & electric hookups. Larger rigs will barely have a yard. And donât bet on a private picnic table. On a slow checkout day, you might get lucky enough to not wait in line for the dump station.
Weâve paid much less for âmoreâ... the $120 price per night was ridiculous. But being that they have no competitors in the area (and they know it), RVers wanting a quick escape to see NYC can get it here. The ONLY thing we really liked about it was itâs convenient location to the city with easy access to the ferry boats.
The area itself was under a ton of construction when we drove in, which meant for difficult to navigate roads and we barely squeezed by larger trucks who were also in the roadways. But we did manage to walk our way to the marina restaurant âSurf Cityâ, which was a unique and fun spot for end of day dinner & drinks.
We would only consider staying here again during the âoff-seasonâ months when the campground isnât busy. The woman who checked us in was very pleasant and helpful when helping us figure out how to get around without driving.
ScoutWe stayed here for 5 days and it was ok. There was this crazy lady who called herself Nancy who was next to us. It was ok at first but as the week went on she became NUTS. The trip was supposed to be 7 days but when i got up at 6 to take a run there was Nancy right outside my door. We cut the trip short but it is a nice campground minus the creepy people.
LegendThis 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.
Staff is average, as this is not meant to be high end. They are nice but a bit rough. We had some issues with our converter and they wanted to extort a 20% commission to allow our repair man in. A bit of logical conversation put that idea to sleep. Sites kind of level and very close. Power and water, and convenient dump station if staying and needing to dump. The bath house was above average and heated. The laundry was helpful and was acceptable. Having a view of Lady Liberty out your window is priceless.
Getting in and out of the city is an adventure. Stay right off the highway to avoid the $30 tunnel toll. Follow RV life pro and not Waze.
Limited equestrian facilities exist for horse camping near Roosevelt, New York. Located in western Long Island, this area offers few dedicated horse-friendly campgrounds within a 45-mile radius. Campers seeking accommodations for horses often need to venture to nearby counties or neighboring states for proper equestrian facilities with corrals or paddocks.
Visit historic sites: Liberty Harbor RV Park serves as a convenient base for exploring iconic landmarks. "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," notes Joe R. at Liberty Harbor RV Park.
Access ferry transportation: Campers can easily reach Manhattan via nearby water transportation. "There is a ferry 100-yards away that takes you to Wall Street M-F. There is a great market about 1/4 of a mile away, and the path that can take you to WTC or 33rd Street area is only a mile away," explains Shawn B.
Explore local trails: The region offers various trail systems suitable for day hiking. "The campground was not my first choice. I would rather be in more secluded mountainous campsites. The upside to being so close to the parkway is that there are convenience stores nearby if you forget something," reports Dwight D.
Urban accessibility: The proximity to New York City attracts many visitors seeking both outdoor accommodations and metropolitan experiences. "This is all about location. The closest RV park to NYC. Pick one of the larger end row sites to get a little extra elbow room," advises Keith and Tia S. at Allaire State Park.
Transportation options: Multiple public transit connections make city exploration convenient. "Very convenient location. My wife visited Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The sites had electric and water and were in a fenced off section of the marina parking area," shares Kevin A.
Diverse recreation: While horse facilities are limited, other outdoor activities are available. "Great camp ground and State Park. Very clean with professional staff. Lots to do in the area! Mountain Biking from easy, paved trails to several miles of single track with everything in between," explains Beau B.
Site spacing: Campgrounds in this region typically feature closely situated sites with minimal privacy. "Sites are a little too close together. Noisy with highway traffic. Well maintained though. Ticks galore," cautions Justin S.
Urban camping environment: Most nearby options function more as parking areas than traditional campgrounds. "Basically a parking lot, but the location can't be beat. 2 ferries that run to Manhattan. Path train is a 12 minute walk away that will take you to Manhattan," states Karen S. at Liberty Harbor RV Park.
Seasonal considerations: Some facilities close for renovations during certain periods. "This may be my favorite spot. I have stayed in all the spots they offer, yurt, cabin and the pull up sites. Getting a cabin in the winter and going for a snowy hike is wonderful there," recommends Patrick M.
Check bathroom facilities: Restroom conditions vary significantly across locations. "Clean bathrooms. Sites are a little too close together. Noisy with highway traffic. Well maintained though," notes Justin S.
Consider cabins for comfort: Alternative accommodations provide better options for families with children. "I've stayed in the cabins here a couple times. Cabins are no frills yet very nice no electricity they are equipped with 4 bunks a large picnic table and a wood stove for heat. Also a nice porch fire ring and a charcoal grill," describes Erik M.
Plan for noise: Urban-adjacent camping includes significant ambient sounds. "It was a little loud with city noises, but exactly what we expected being so close. Staff was great. Easy access with our 32 foot RV pulling our Jeep," mentions Kevin A.
Prepare for tight quarters: RV sites typically offer minimal spacing between units. "If it's packed, your neighbor will be within inches of your rig. Pluses, minutes walk to the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Science Center," warns Keith and Tia S.
Scout dump station availability: Not all facilities offer convenient waste disposal. "There is a dump station, but not the easiest to use. The laundry was not working properly and ate a good $5 of our quarters," cautions Shawn B.
Consider alternative routes: Navigation can be challenging in congested areas. "Getting in and out of the city is an adventure. Stay right off the highway to avoid the $30 tunnel toll. Follow RV life pro and not Waze," advises Joe R.
