This sounds interesting. I think it would be so cool to see the Statue of Liberty so close by. It sounds like it is what it is, as long as you know that beforehand. Just a place to park it for sight-seeing

I agree with everything the reviewer said, but want to mention one thing to campers considering this campground. Access is on congested city streets and can be challenging unless you are very comfortable driving an RV in difficult situations. This is especially true with a large trailer or a motorhome towing a car. I had my route all planned out for the morning of departure, went 3 blocks and was detoured way off my intended route and had to find my way back. You can’t beat the location for easy public transportation to the city, but be prepared to deal with potential traffic problems on the way in and out, avoid rush hour and have your maps handy in case you get detoured.
