If you like a campground open to visitors day and night, where people drive at high speed and come drifting in their sports cars, where you have to basically keep your kids on a leash to avoid them being ran over, a place where you won't get any sleep cause the party boats cruise by with blasting music from 1am till 4-5 am, well this is your place! It's not worth 30$ a night... You can't make a fire in the RV section of the campground although you're surrounded by concrete for miles around! The showers don't have a single hook, the ceilings are falling apart and they don't even have hand soap dispensers in the bathroom, so I guess the people working at the camp store never wash their hands properly either.

For a place to camp in NYC its not bad at all. It's on an old air field that still has helicopter traffic but it's cool. Positives... very safe. It's far enough from the hood that you don't have to worry about anything. The ranger is very helpful and cool and the sites have picnic tables and fire pits along with grills. Negatives.... mosquitos are the worst I have experienced and we are from Florida. They don't even care if you cover your self in cutter. Lots of raccoons. They are not afraid of people so )/bringing bring your food and backpacks inside. First night one went in my wife's purse. All in all we camp a lot and I would come back here. Fyi you can not walk to the subway or bus so be prepared to pay for parking in the city. Other notes.... They have camp store, hot showers, clean bathrooms.

I wish I could say that this is the weirdest place I have ever camped but it is certainly one of the more interesting. "Camp store"/Registration closes at 1600 and there is no fee box or camp host to register with after hours like they have at other NPS facilities. "Camp store"/Registration is supposed to open at 0900 but NEVER did while I was there. It isn't really a camp store, it is a souvenir shop selling useless NPS junk that happens to also have firewood and ice. Make sure you have everything you need before arriving or you will be taking a ride into Brooklyn to get it. The tent sites have all the usual things you expect at a NPS campground (fire ring, BBQ, picnic table) but you can't park near your site so if you have more than a tent and a sleeping bag, you will be making multiple long trips to your vehicle. The "RV sites" are really just a parking spot on a sectioned off piece of one of the old landing strips so don't expect to do any of the usual "camping" activities like having a campfire. Hands down the most clueless NPS staff I have ever encountered. If you want unsolicited advice on the NYC transit system or where to get a slice of pizza they are a wealth of information... ask them anything even remotely camping related and they turn into a bunch of babbling buffoons. Asked one staffer where the potable water spigot was and she looked at me like I had 12 heads. The "water faucet"... blank stare... "the place the water comes out" (am I playing charades or talking to a federal government employee?)... "what do you need to use the water for?"... "washing my hands before handling food, rinsing dishes, ect."... "You can wash your hands in the bathroom over there"... (pointing to the water container in my hand) "where do I fill this up with H2O?"... "are you camping here" (?no I came here for the water?)... "Yes"... "go to w"... "what is w?" It should not take a two minute conversation to find out about a basic camping task! There really is no other viable camping option anywhere even remotely close so you are stuck with this place. Just don't expect Yellowstone or Yosemite type NPS management. Never thought I would ever say that a place needs Xantera or Delaware North type concessioneers to run a proper campground.

Stayed here for a bit over a week in our 40 foot motorhome. Was a little worried about getting in through the city etc but downloaded an app called Sygic Truck Route, you put your height, weight etc in and it calculates your route so you don't go under any low bridges etc as there are loads ! The campground section is a little confusing to find initially but just look for the signs, don't follow the gps directions after you get in through the entrance. We found it pretty quiet through the week, weekends can be somewhat noisy with party boats going by and yes there are lots of people around, some having driving lessons by the parents, others hooning around but we always felt safe, this is a recreation area for them after all. You can drive to the ferry or catch a bus, it's $2.75 for a one way trip to Wall Street and a lovely 50 min cruise that takes you close to the Statue of Liberty. It's $30 per night so very cheap ! They have now put a dump in and there is water you can fill you just need an adapter to fit to it. The showers/toilets/dump etc are only available whilst the office is opened. The staff are lovely and extremely helpful. This is not a 5 star KOA but the location to NYC is the best. Would definitely come back!
