ScoutThis was a great campsite nestled in the foothills of Northern NJ on the NY border. Small, clean with great views and great location for hiking , cruising etc. Bring your tent or use the existing glamping tents. Headed back for a fall weekend in the "dome" which has incredible views. Try it you won't be sorry.
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.
LegendLocation- 4 stars- close to NYC but kinda just in the woods and close to homes, not much around.
Sites- 4 stars- a real mixed bag- the rv/trailer only section is really nice, wooded. Has a classic campground feel. The other tent/cabin side was loud and not private. Ours is really great- very woodsy and private, close to amenities.
Staff- 5 stars. Friendly and helpful.
Camping Clientele- 4- a real mixed bag here too.
Amenities- 4 stars. Two pools but both were overcrowded. Playground was large and in decent condition. Mini golf looked pretty small and basic. Jumping pad was under construction and closed, oh well.
Pleasant place overall. Worked well for us as a one night stop. Kids really enjoyed it.
GuideNo frills but beautiful. Bath houses are absolutely spotless. Fire pits, electric and water hook ups only. Will return! Staff is friendly and helpful. Military families should check it out!
TravelerArrived to campsite late but easily found. Campsite and lean to was clean. Fire pit with grill and picnic table.
LegendJake from the Dyrt here! The Moon Valley Campground is an awesome spot for those who want to camp in luxury, with their awesome dome structures. The campground is also near the Appalachian trail while still only about an hour from Manhattan! Check them out and leave a review with your adventures during your stay!
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.
TravelerThe camp is set up in a “blank slate, parking lot” type style, with a big field, center for tent camping or to be used for sports or other activities. There’s a “lazy river” at one side and a small RV village on the other, and tent sites with water or dry tent camping. Restrooms are available with hot and cold running water, showers and toilets.
TravelerCampground: fairly secluded, forested, breezy with some wildlife. Small camp store. Ingress/Egress: Tight approach with multiple switchbacks and steep grades - if you’re coming in a towable rig over 36’ you might want to take a solo look first. Sites are oddly arranged and there aren’t any FHU sites. Cell: Verizon in spot C9 had 1-bar; we used Starlink for connectivity. Laundry: 3 washers & 3 dryers: $2.50 each. Dump Station: was close by (across the street) but we didn’t need it for our 3 day stay. Bathhouse: across the street, clean and we used it almost exclusively. Noise: Quiet with some small arms fire, but barely noticeable from our site. Site C9: can be viewed from Google street view site is north of the lake in the horseshoe road- some cabins are viewable as well. Site is gravel with composite picnic table, post metal grill and truck rim fire ring. Water pressure- fluctuated 30psi-50psi: hunted constantly. Cabins: available and in good order. They appear to be older, but still functional- mini log cabins $65/night (primitive-no bathroom)
Glamping and camping options extend throughout the Hudson Valley region near White Plains, New York. The area features elevations ranging from 200 to 1,240 feet, creating diverse terrain for overnight stays. Winter camping requires preparation for temperatures that regularly drop below freezing, while summer campers should expect humidity with temperatures averaging 75-85°F during peak months.
Hiking trails with elevation gains: Camp Glen Gray offers extensive hiking options with varied difficulty levels. "Many camp sites open to rent. Cabins - Leanto - Tent Sites. Check web site for pricing," notes Jose N., highlighting the camp's accessibility for different hiking experiences.
Water activities in natural lakes: The multiple lakes at Mountain Lakes Park provide opportunities for fishing, swimming, and paddling during summer months. Ben H. describes it as "A gorgeous piece of land that contains lakes, a lookout and Mt. Bailey, the highest point in Westchester County. A dirt road loops through the property with trails off and through it."
Family amusement options: Jellystone Park Gardiner operates April through November with programmed entertainment for younger visitors. "This place is great for kids or diverse groups that all want to do different things. It's very family themed and fun for everyone. However, it can end up being as crowded as an amusement park depending on when you go," shares Carrie J.
Peaceful locations away from crowds: Mahlon Dickerson Reservation receives praise for its tranquility. John S. notes, "Please keep in mind I am not and have never been a fan of 'resort' campgrounds, so things like wifi, pools, etc, are not here. There are plenty of trails, water (creeks, pond,lake,) views and even if the place is packed there is PLENTY of room."
Beach access on Long Island Sound: Wildwood State Park Campground offers unique beach camping experiences. "The North Shore and South Shore are pretty different. This site gives you the North Shore experience with high bluffs, sandy calm beaches along the Long Island Sound, and views of CT across the water," explains Amber A., adding that "You have to buy a stargazing permit to be out on the beach after sunset."
Glamping structures with views: At Moon Valley Campground, glamping close to White Plains, New York includes distinctive accommodations. Bob F. shares, "This was a great campsite nestled in the foothills of Northern NJ on the NY border. Small, clean with great views and great location for hiking, cruising etc. Bring your tent or use the existing glamping tents."
Military-only restrictions: Some campsites near White Plains limit access to service members. Ethan K. observed at West Point FMWR Round Pond Outdoor Recreation Area, "Unfortunately for me, Round Pond is camping reserved for active and retired military personnel only... There are several signs everywhere making it clear that it is only for military."
Seasonal access limitations: Many glamping sites close during winter months. Wildwood State Park Campground operates "April 1 to October 10," while Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort runs "Apr 1 - Oct 31."
Cell service variability: Coverage can be inconsistent at campsites. Jacey H. notes, "Just a note to other campers with T-Moblie, we did not have any service on the campsite, however just a hop in the car or a quick walk down the mountain for 5G service near the entrance off the main road."
Consider weekend crowding factors: Family-oriented campgrounds become significantly busier on weekends. At Jellystone Park Gardiner, Stephanie H. observed, "It looks like Saturdays have the best activities but we were not there on a Saturday. The Wi-Fi is also bad here. My kids enjoyed themselves a lot, and that is what matters."
Verify amenities for children: Bathroom and shower facilities vary widely between locations. Coffee&Camping T. cautions at Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort: "There are 2 showers for women and 2 for men. Both are old and not well maintained or in our experience clean, either."
Select sites away from common areas: When glamping close to White Plains with children, choose locations strategically. At Jellystone Park, one reviewer noted, "We got a red carpet site by the Gaga pit and near the water park (Cindy bear lane) and it was a convenient yet noisy site. Kids were at the playground 8 am or before and the noise woke us up."
Plan for hookup locations: Some sites require preparation for utility access. At Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort, Bill B. advises, "When you leave you have to drive the wrong way in the campground because of the low hanging trees the correct direction... One downfall is you have to drive to the trash bin it is way too far to walk."
Check shower amenities: Even at higher-priced locations, facilities may not meet expectations. Michael G. noted at Wildwood State Park Campground: "Bathrooms and showers were not really clean, which was surprising because most people used their personal bathroom/shower in their RV."
Verify site leveling: At Pleasant Acres, campers report mixed experiences with site conditions. Janelle G. shares, "Rv sites were mostly pretty flat, spacious and in a wooded area which we loved. Visited in October so leaves were falling and it was perfect weather."
