NEW YORK CITY RVing

[Jay Darst]

Trudy,
I have done a bit of research on this very controversial camp ground
(Liberty Harbor Marina).

The testimonials read really bad. Very dirty, some parallels to a
cess pool. There is a night club next door that ROCKS til 2:30am.
There is only a common sewer hookup that was not considered
sanitary. All in all, most folks had bad things to say about Liberty
Harbor Marina Campground

Being from the green, green clean mid-west, I am afraid to take my
family into that environment.

Get a chance, e-mail me at jdarst @ hprcars dot com

Thanks Trudy!

Jay:
Can you link us to the reviews? I've only been able to find a couple
on line that were hard to read but did not seems extremely negative.
I would use the Black Bear Campground again if I had to, but it is a
lot further away from the city.

When I go to NYC I stay at Corton on Hudson state park, right on the water,
walking distance
to the 20 min express train to NYC

Guy:
Is this the place?

I couldn't find a state park per se listed.

Kerry,

I found the following RV park review site helpful. Looked up some
camp grounds I've been too, the testimonials are pretty darn
accurate!

will take you to Croton Point Park's reviews

will take you to Liberty Harbor Marina & RV Park's reviews


Also, I want to thank everyone for their continued support and
information regarding the New York trip, both here on the forum and
thru e-mails! I REALLY appreciate it!

I felt a bit over committed until I talked with some of the memebers
on the phone. They put a lot of my concerns to rest.

Keep the great info coming! Still researching stuff, but plans are
to stay at Croton Point Park for the duration, June 10-17th

Thanks again,
Jay Darst

Thanks again Trudy/Lisa, good NYC info!

Thanks. I'm with you, I think the Croton Point Park is better than
Liberty Park Marina. We'll probably stay there in early July. For some
reason, when I access the reviews, there is type over the review and I
can only read the last couple of lines.
