needs some TLC

1st thing was i received an email telling me to check in at trading post and had the wrong address. we arrived as well as 2 other campers at the wrong address and then had to drive a mile or so to turn around. The trading post check in is in the campground!! The park is very pretty with all the trees, but the campsites themselves are very unlevel and laid out very awkwardly. The electric and water are in odd spots on each site. Luckily we were on one of the rare fairly level sites. The road into the campground is narrow, hilly and windy. We were able to do it in our 32 foot class A, but luckily no one was coming the other direction. This would be a very nice park if they spent some money on the individual campsites.

Location location location

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. 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.

Insulted

The campground itself was not too bad, although sites were crowded and not well manicured. Mixture of full time and vacationers. What i could not get over was the blatant display of confederate flags flying on campground poles and a huge display of items for sale in the store. I read reviews that this is their heritage and this is why they display the flags. This is no longer acceptable. As I read in an op-ed recently…..the Confederate flag was waved by opponents of the civil rights movement in the 50s and 60s. Anyone who continues to display the Confederate battle flag is implicitly saying they adhere to the social theory that Black people are inferior to white people. And this is why i will never return or reccomend to anyone. I am not ok with this display.
