RV camping near Elmwood Park, New Jersey
Elmwood Park sits in Bergen County, less than 15 miles from the George Washington Bridge, which puts RV renters within easy reach of two very different camping worlds: the New Jersey Highlands to the west and the New York City harbor to the east. There are no campgrounds inside the borough itself, so trip planning centers on parks in nearby Passaic, Sussex, Rockland, and Kings counties.
The closest full-service urban option is Liberty Harbor RV Park across the Hudson in Jersey City, which functions primarily as a city base camp for Manhattan sightseeing. For a more traditional outdoor stay, drivers head northwest to Camp Wyanokie in the Norvin Green State Forest area, or into the New York Highlands to Beaver Pond Campground within Harriman State Park in Rockland County, adjacent to Lake Welch.
Further options include Wawayanda State Park on the New Jersey side of the Highlands and Floyd Bennett Field, part of Gateway National Recreation Area in Brooklyn, one of the only campgrounds inside New York City limits.
Things to do near Elmwood Park
Hiking dominates the region. Wawayanda State Park has more than forty miles of marked trails plus a roughly twenty-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail, and Harriman State Park's over 200 miles of trails are maintained by volunteers from the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference. Wyanokie High Point and the Stairway to Heaven overlook are popular family day hikes reachable from Camp Wyanokie and Wawayanda respectively.
Water activities are strong too. Canoes, rowboats, and paddleboats can be rented at Wawayanda Lake, and Beaver Pond campers can walk to Lake Welch Beach when lifeguards are on duty. For city-oriented trips, Liberty Harbor RV Park and Floyd Bennett Field both put ferries, museums, and Manhattan attractions within a short transit ride.

Most public campgrounds in the area are seasonal. The group campsites at Wawayanda State Park are open April 1 to October 31, and Beaver Pond Campground at Harriman State Park generally operates from spring through late October. Camp Gateway at Floyd Bennett Field is listed by the National Park Service as open April through October, and its future operating status has varied in recent seasons, so campers should confirm on Recreation.gov before booking.
Summer is peak. Weekends fill quickly because Harriman is a favored weekend getaway for New Yorkers, so weekend bookings should be made as far in advance as possible. Bugs matter for planning: mosquitoes and biting flies build through June and remain a factor into early fall.
Spring and fall bring cooler nights and thinner crowds. Winter camping is very limited in the Highlands, and cold-weather visitors typically shift to day hiking, with cross-country skiing permitted on designated Wawayanda trails when snow allows.

This is exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon! Jeff made things so easy and made things go smoothly for the rental. He even checked on us to make sure we had no problems or questions. I would recommend this rental for any type of occasion. Couldn’t ask for a more friendly person. Thank you

I accept the charges as followed. However I do not accept charge for 4 days. I only had the vehicle for 3 days. I'd like to dispute the 4th day charged for 250.00

How to book campsites
Reservation systems vary by park, so RV renters should identify the operator before searching. Online reservations for Wawayanda State Park are made at camping.nj.gov, the New Jersey State Park Service portal. Beaver Pond Campground at Harriman State Park is reserved through ReserveAmerica under the New York State Parks system, with bookings available online or by phone up to nine months in advance; same-day reservations are allowed until 3pm on the day of arrival, and walk-ins are permitted on campsites only.
Reservations for Camp Gateway at Floyd Bennett Field can be made up to six months in advance online at Recreation.gov. Liberty Harbor RV Park is a private facility booked directly with the operator. For summer weekends, plan to book several months out.
What to expect at area campgrounds
Sites in this region skew rustic. Beaver Pond offers campsites for up to two tents and six persons per site, with select sites able to accommodate a trailer or RV up to 30 feet in length; each site has a picnic table and fire ring, and the campground has comfort stations, showers, laundry, and a dump station, but no electrical hookups for trailers. At Wawayanda, water is not available at campsites and must be carried from the main office, and there are no shower facilities at the group sites.
Bears are a genuine consideration in the Highlands, and campers are provided with bear habitat guidelines that must be followed at all times. Alcohol is not permitted at Beaver Pond Campground, and no pets are allowed. City-adjacent sites at Floyd Bennett Field are flat and open, with limited privacy but easy transit access.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Elmwood Park, NJ
How much does an RV rental in Elmwood Park typically cost?
An RV rental in Elmwood Park is often more affordable than nearby hotel stays. On RVezy, travel trailers in the Bergen County area generally run about $90 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes range from about $175 to $275, and luxury Class A motorhomes can reach $350 or more nightly. You will also see a one-time cleaning fee, a protection plan fee, and a mileage allowance set by each host. Pro tip: book midweek pickups in May or late September to find better rates and dodge summer demand from families heading to the Jersey Shore. Use the price filter on the listings page to find a cheap RV rental Elmwood Park travelers love.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Elmwood%20Park,%20New%20JerseyDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Elmwood Park, NJ?
A standard driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Elmwood Park. New Jersey does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any special endorsement for personal-use motorhomes, even larger Class A rigs, as long as you are driving for recreation. To book on RVezy, you need to be 25 or older with a valid driver's license, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the platform during booking. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit alongside your home-country license. Most first-timers are surprised how straightforward it is, so you can focus on planning your Bergen County getaway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included when I book an RV in Elmwood Park?
Every RVezy booking in Elmwood Park comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built in, so you can head out on the Garden State Parkway with confidence. The protection plan covers most damages to the vehicle and gives renters meaningful financial peace of mind. During checkout, you choose from different protection tiers based on how much coverage you want, the host does not pick the level, you do. If anything happens, from a flat tire near the George Washington Bridge to a windshield chip in the Poconos, one call gets help dispatched fast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Elmwood Park RV rental?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy sets the cancellation policy platform-wide, not individual hosts, and there is a money-back grace period right after you book in case plans change. Beyond that window, your refund depends on how close you are to your trip start date. If a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds you in full or offers travel credits so your Elmwood Park RV trip stays on track. Atlantic hurricane season runs June through November, so it is worth watching forecasts for late-summer trips. If you are ever unsure, RVezy support can walk you through your options before you commit.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Elmwood Park?
Absolutely, plenty of hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental Elmwood Park travelers love for road trips with their furry crew. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see motorhomes and campervans that welcome dogs, and message the host with your pet's size and breed to confirm. Once you're set, your pup will love Saddle River County Park's riverside trails right in Elmwood Park, plus leashed dogs are welcome at nearby Garret Mountain Reservation. Heading to a campground? Cheesequake State Park and Liberty Harbor RV Park both allow leashed pets. Pack a collapsible water bowl, vaccination records, and you're road-ready.
state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/cheesequake.htmlCan the RV be delivered to my campground or driveway in Elmwood Park?
Yes, many Bergen County hosts offer RV delivery Elmwood Park renters love, which is a game-changer if you are nervous about driving a big rig through North Jersey traffic. The host will bring the motorhome or travel trailer right to your driveway, a local campground like Camp Taylor in Columbia, or Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City, then handle setup, leveling, and hookups before walking you through every system. Use the Delivery filter on the search page and message the host for a delivery quote (usually based on mileage). It is one of the easiest ways to enjoy an Elmwood Park RV trip without ever sitting behind the wheel.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Elmwood%20Park,%20New%20JerseyHow far can I travel on an RV road trip from Elmwood Park?
You are in a sweet spot for an RV road trip from Elmwood Park, with great destinations in every direction. The Delaware Water Gap is about 60 miles west (roughly 75 minutes), the Catskills sit about 110 miles north, Cape May at the southern tip of the Jersey Shore is around 160 miles south, and Acadia National Park in Maine is reachable in two travel days at roughly 470 miles. Each host sets their own mileage policy, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is great for longer trips. Filter by Unlimited Mileage on the search page or message a host directly to ask about a higher daily allowance.
nps.gov/dewa/index.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Elmwood Park to park my RV?
There are several great campgrounds within easy driving distance of Elmwood Park. Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City (about 15 miles south) puts you steps from the PATH train with Statue of Liberty views and offers sites with water and electric. Cheesequake State Park in Old Bridge (about 45 miles south) offers wooded sites with a dump station, generally open spring through fall. Mahlon Dickerson Reservation in Jefferson Township (about 30 miles northwest) features sites in Morris County's highest park, while Camp Taylor Campground near the Delaware Water Gap (about 60 miles west) has full hookups and mountain trails. Book at least 4 to 6 weeks ahead for summer weekends.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/cheesequake.htmlWhen is the best time of year for RV camping in Elmwood Park?
Late May through mid-October is the sweet spot for RV camping Elmwood Park travelers wait for, but the smart-money picks are actually the shoulder seasons. May and September deliver pleasant 65 to 80 degree days, lower humidity, and far fewer crowds at Cheesequake and Harriman State Parks. July and August bring 85 to 90 degree heat with high humidity (you'll want AC and shore power), while October dazzles with foliage along the Palisades and Skyline Drive. Winter rentals are limited but possible for cold-weather adventurers heading to the Catskills for snow trips, just confirm the RV has heated tanks and propane furnace. Spring blossoms in Saddle River County Park signal RV season is back.
weather.gov/okx/I have never driven an RV before. Will I be okay renting in Elmwood Park?
You have got this, and you will not be alone. Every RVezy host provides a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through driving the rig, slide-outs, generator, water systems, and dump procedures before you leave the driveway. First time renting an RV? Choose a Class C motorhome or campervan (Class B) under 25 feet, which handles much like a large van and fits standard parking spots. Avoid the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels (LP gas is prohibited) and the lower level of the George Washington Bridge. Take I-80 or the New Jersey Turnpike instead. You can also message the host any time during your trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/categories/360002053574-For-rentersWhat happens if something goes wrong on the road?
You are covered around the clock. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on Route 4, a dead battery at a rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike, or a lockout at a campground in the Poconos is just one phone call away. Help can be dispatched directly to your location, whether you are 5 miles from Elmwood Park or 500. Your host is also a great resource for questions about quirks specific to their RV, and RVezy support is available before, during, and after your trip. Save both numbers in your phone before pickup.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionCan I take my Elmwood Park RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate road trips are not just allowed, they are encouraged. Elmwood Park sits at a crossroads, with New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut all within an hour, and popular routes head north through Vermont's Green Mountains, west to Niagara Falls (about 400 miles), or south to Virginia's Shenandoah National Park. Cross-border travel into Canada may be allowed with host approval and the right insurance documentation, so message the host before booking if Montreal or Quebec City is on your list. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because protection coverage does not extend there. Your motorhome rental Elmwood Park adventure has serious range.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow do I budget for fuel on my Elmwood Park RV trip?
Fuel is one of the bigger trip expenses, but it's easy to plan for. Campervans (Class B) average 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes get 10 to 14 MPG, and large Class A rigs run 6 to 10 MPG. New Jersey gas prices typically sit just above the national average (currently around $3.30 to $3.60 per gallon for regular), and remember New Jersey is a full-service state, so an attendant pumps your gas. A weekend trip to the Delaware Water Gap (120 miles round trip) might cost $40 to $80 in fuel for a Class C. Pro tip: fill up in Pennsylvania on return trips, where gas is often 20 to 40 cents per gallon cheaper.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground from Elmwood Park?
For the best sites near Elmwood Park, book early. New Jersey State Park campgrounds like Stokes State Forest and Worthington State Forest are reserved through the NJ State Park reservation system, and prime summer weekends (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day) often fill 3 to 6 months out. Private parks like Liberty Harbor RV Park and Camp Taylor Campground take reservations year-round, so aim for 6 to 8 weeks ahead in summer. For last-minute trips, weekday stays in late September or early October usually have plenty of availability. Pro tip: set a calendar reminder when reservation windows open for popular destinations.
newjerseystateparks.reserveamerica.com/What is driving in and around Elmwood Park really like?
Honest truth: North Jersey has busy roads, but with smart routing it is totally manageable in an RV. Avoid the Holland Tunnel, Lincoln Tunnel, and the lower level of the George Washington Bridge entirely because LP gas is prohibited there. Stick to I-80, I-287, and the Garden State Parkway. Avoid rush hour (7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. on weekdays) when heading out, and watch for low clearances on older parkways like the Saw Mill River Parkway in nearby New York, which bans commercial and oversize vehicles. An RV-specific GPS is worth every penny for confident routing.
nj.gov/transportation/What amenities should I expect at campgrounds near Elmwood Park?
You will find a solid range of amenities at campgrounds near Elmwood Park. Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City offers water, 30 and 50-amp electric, a dump station, hot showers, laundry, and Wi-Fi. Cheesequake State Park has restrooms, showers, a dump station, and potable water fill, but no individual site hookups (great for boondocking practice). Camp Taylor near the Delaware Water Gap provides full hookups including sewer. Always check whether your site has 30-amp or 50-amp service, because larger Class A motorhomes typically need 50-amp. Most state park campgrounds welcome day-use dumping for a small fee, which is handy on travel days.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/cheesequake.htmlWhat is inside a typical RV rental in Elmwood Park?
Most Elmwood Park RV rentals come fully equipped so you can move in and go. Expect a kitchen with fridge, microwave, stovetop, sink, and basic cookware; a bathroom with toilet and shower (in everything except small campervans); sleeping for 2 to 8 people; plus heat, air conditioning, and a propane system or onboard generator. Many include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, and seatbelted travel seats for kids. Wi-Fi varies, so plan to use your phone hotspot if connectivity matters. Each listing shows exact amenities and sleep count, and hosts often throw in extras like camp chairs, outdoor mats, and starter kits. Message the host to confirm anything specific you need.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Elmwood%20Park,%20New%20JerseyWhat add-ons and pickup options are available for Elmwood Park RV rentals?
Hosts in the Elmwood Park area offer a wide range of helpful add-ons: generators, bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, outdoor grills, bike racks, kayaks, and even pet packages with bowls and beds. Pricing varies by host and is shown clearly on each listing. Pickup is usually from the host's home in Bergen County, but many also offer delivery to your driveway or a local campground for a mileage-based fee. Mileage policies vary, typically with a set number of free miles per day and a per-mile fee beyond that, and some hosts offer unlimited mileage upgrades. Review every listing's add-on menu before booking to lock in the right package for your trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Elmwood%20Park,%20New%20JerseyHow does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental in Elmwood Park?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through RVezy at booking, never directly to the host, which protects both sides. You will see the nightly rate, cleaning fee, mileage allowance, any add-ons, and the protection plan fee laid out clearly before you confirm. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment and is released after your trip, assuming no damage or excess mileage. To avoid issues, do a thorough walkaround with your host at pickup and dropoff, take photos of the interior and exterior, and return the RV with fuel and tanks as agreed.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksHow do I prep an RV rental in Elmwood Park for cold-weather trips?
Winter RVing from Elmwood Park is doable with the right rig and a little prep. Look for listings with heated holding tanks, an enclosed underbelly, a propane furnace, and shore power compatibility. January and February overnight lows in Elmwood Park often drop into the 20s, and the Catskills or Poconos can hit single digits, so confirm the host has the rig set up for active winter use, not just storage. Bring extra propane, a heated water hose, and tank antifreeze. Liberty Harbor RV Park stays open year-round, while most state park campgrounds close after October. Filter for winter-ready RVs and message the host to confirm cold-weather features.
