2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds near Stony Point offer year-round and seasonal options within driving distance of New York City, ranging from full-hookup parks with 50-amp service to state park sites without hookups. Black Bear RV Park in Florida, NY offers 74 full-hookup sites with 50/30-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections. "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," wrote one camper, highlighting the importance of checking site dimensions before arrival. Beaver Pond Campground in Harriman State Park accommodates RVs up to 25 feet and operates from April through October, though without hookups. Thousand Trails Rondout Valley in Accord features full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service and operates seasonally from April to November, with some sites backing up to a small stream.
Advance reservations are essential during summer weekends and fall foliage season, with many parks filling months ahead. Dump stations are available at most locations, though Beaver Pond's facility may present challenges for larger rigs. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with Verizon coverage spotty at several parks. A recent review noted, "We found our interactions with the staff to be helpful and attentive," but also mentioned that "wifi was practically non-existent" at some locations. Pet-friendly policies are common but often include breed restrictions or designated walking areas. Some parks maintain limited winter operations with reduced services, while others close entirely from November through March due to seasonal conditions and frozen water lines.
"Very family friendly and lots to do."
"Our RV site was private, surround by trees with a nice fire pit and picnic table."
"If you want to visit NYC and surrounding areas, this is the place. Expensive but... When you look at local hotel rates, not so much."
"Basicly 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."
from $145 - $180 / night
"Open during the winter. Easy on, easy off. Lots of pull through sites. Next to grocery store. CLEAN bathrooms, showers, laundry. Super nice owners. Perfect for an overnight stop."
"This place is unique by location alone! We stopped for two nights on our way to CT. They have an onsite buffet with live entertainment if your timing is right."
"This is a Thousand trails campground so it was free. I think the regular price is $64. Full hookups, tents and cabins to rent. Pleanty to do in and around campground."
"While I don't have other TT campgrounds to compare this to, I do have a lot of experience in state parks and private campgrounds. If you are looking for an RV resort-type place, this isn't it."
"Nice well maintained park, full hookups with cable and wifi. Office forgot to give us wifi info and had closed early. Very nice staff."
"A little intimidating driving in to a nondescript gate at the end of a narrow street but the overall experience exceeded expectation."

TravelerMike grandson and I had a fun time he enjoyed the little beach and especially the playground. The staff in the office were very nice. Bathrooms were clean but can be updates.
GuideMade a reservation (site44) since I arrived as the sun had set. Office registration was open until 8. Staff was neither friendly nor unfriendly. Bathroom was dated but fine and a short walk from my site. CG was emptier being a Tuesday night in mid-October, so was plenty of space.
Great trail following the Hudson River. Beautiful fall colors.
ScoutNice campground, bathrooms are clean but dated, first come first serve for the sites.
RangerI'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.
ScoutPast reviews has mentioned that the office seems to be closed often, while I found that to be true I had no reason to contact anyone. This is definitely one of the cleanest quiets site I’ve ever visited
GuideDefinitely a wide variety of sites—look at the site pictures before booking—there are two areas where it’s just an open field with bonfires and picnic tables that I’d avoid. I could see a large group going there or something but personally it doesn’t offer any privacy.
BUT if you book one of the other sites that DOES have privacy you’ll be in camping heaven. The “hike in” sites are more like “walk-in,” I was worried at first but it’s some are as little as a few yards from the road. The most annoying part was lugging the cooler back and forth, but totally worth it
GuideBooked the day before—even on the holiday weekend! Just 1.5 hours outside of NYC, site was a bit close to the neighbors (fire pit was very far back and basically in the neighbors’ campsite, but we put up a “privacy clothesline” and hung a tarp over it for a bit of extra coverage.
The staff was friendly and helpful, they said it was the busiest they’ve seen the campground all year (there were lots of large groups but everyone seemed to settle down by 9:30pm
Poison ivy was EVERYWHERE at our site so make sure to stick to the open areas and the paths. Lots of families around, we felt very safe Bathrooms were fine—it was my impression they’re usually cleaner but the high traffic of the weekend left a bit to be desired, (lots of families around=dirty diapers in the bathroom trash bin) but it’s camping! I’m not gonna argue w a flushing toilet!
TravelerThis area seems to be devoid of campgrounds except for this one. It’s basically just a large parking lot with hook ups. Completely open, which is great for Starlink. Bathrooms were slightly above average; fairly clean and places to hang clothes for your shower. Has a laundry but be sure to bring quarters. It is about 100 yards from the interstate so you’ll get a lot of noise and diesel exhaust fumes.
ScoutNo hookups. It was wooded, quiet and dark at night. I used the dump station on my way out. The first time I ever saw a poop fountain. The sewer opening sticks up above ground level. The cover swivels away, so I couldn't put it on top of my hose. And then, when I tried to rinse it, there was nowhere for it to go, because the inlet is elevated.
RV camping near Stony Point, New York offers access to the scenic Hudson Valley region where elevations range from 400 to 1,400 feet above sea level. The area's climate features distinct seasons with humid summers averaging 85°F and winter lows often below freezing. Camping options span across three states—New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania—providing varied terrain and proximity to both wilderness areas and urban attractions.
Hiking access: At Clarence Fahnestock State Park Campground, trails connect directly from campsites to scenic routes. "The trails in the area are friendly to hikers, bikers, and the non arthritic kneers, as most are rated moderate to challenging. Don't fret, trails that are rated easy and accessible to disabled are equally enjoyable and beautiful," notes Steve W.
Swimming opportunities: Lake beaches provide relief during summer months. "The park has a nice open beach on Canopus Lake with a concession area and bathhouse, which we found to be quite clean! They even have boat rentals - or you can bring your own boat to launch," explains Shelly B. about Fahnestock State Park.
Urban exploration: Camping serves as a base for NYC visits. "Two ferries that run to Manhattan. Path train is a 12 minute walk away that will take you to Manhattan. Jersey city has a lot of restaurants and bars walking distance," reports Karen S. about Liberty Harbor RV Park.
Apple picking: Fall activities abound within short drives of campgrounds. "If you are in to apple picking it is a short drive and it is easy to get into town to take the train to and from NYC," shares Asher K. about seasonal opportunities near Fahnestock.
Platform camping: At Beaver Pond Campground, raised tent sites provide practical advantages. "Many of the camping options were on platforms which is especially nice if it recently rained or if you are expecting rain during your stay," notes Ethan K.
Waterfront sites: Some campgrounds offer creek-side camping. "We loved our full hookup site minus the neighbors' weekend ragers. The creek that runs by the campground is gorgeous, and my kids had fun finding Crayfish," shares Kasey M. about Thousand Trails Rondout Valley.
Communal facilities: Shared amenities enhance the camping experience. "I also particularly enjoyed the communal sink which made it very convenient and easy to wash dishes and fill up water," reports Ethan K. about Beaver Pond.
Off-season tranquility: Timing affects the camping experience significantly. "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," notes Rebecca S. about Beaver Pond's atmosphere in September.
Wildlife awareness: Bear encounters are possible in certain campgrounds. "Welcome to Bear Mountain grumbles the park ranger as he sits in complete darkness! He is in his ranger hut, checking in the late evening arrivals to the campground... and gives us the run down on bear activity in the area," reports Steve W. at Beaver Pond.
