Campgrounds near East Moriches
East Moriches sits on the south shore of Long Island in Suffolk County, roughly midway between the Great South Bay and the North Fork. The location puts RV travelers within an hour's drive of both bayside state park campgrounds and the barrier-island beaches of Fire Island National Seashore.
Options range from developed state park sites with dump stations and showers to a full-service private RV park on the North Fork. Heckscher State Park sits on the Great South Bay shoreline in Suffolk County, a short drive west, while Wildwood State Park is located near Long Island Sound, on the north shore of Long Island, in Suffolk County. Eastern Long Island Kampground serves travelers heading toward Greenport and the North Fork wineries.
For a car-free barrier-island trip, Watch Hill Campground provides a traditional camping experience on Fire Island's eastern end, with access by private boat or by seasonal ferry service from Patchogue, NY. Hammonasset Beach State Park across Long Island Sound in Connecticut is reachable via the Cross Sound Ferry from Orient Point.
Things to do near East Moriches
Beach access defines the area. Wildwood State Park has 2 miles of beach on the Long Island Sound for fishing and swimming, plus food concessions, a nature trail, twelve miles of marked hiking trails, a picnic area, basketball courts, ball fields, a playground, and showers. Heckscher State Park offers bay swimming and four miles of paved multi-use trails for hiking and biking, plus boat launches for kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding.
On Fire Island, the Watch Hill area sits at the western edge of the Otis Pike Fire Island High Dune Wilderness, the only federally designated wilderness area in New York State. Ocean swimming, boardwalk nature trails, and ranger-led programs are the main draws.
Farther east, the North Fork offers vineyard tours, farm stands, and Greenport village. Fishing charters run out of Moriches, Shinnecock, and Montauk inlets.

July and August are the busiest weeks, with beach heat, warm bay water, and full campgrounds. Weekends carry minimum-stay rules on Fire Island, and camping at Watch Hill is limited to 14 consecutive days. Ferry schedules from Patchogue can be limited outside peak season, so travelers should confirm sailings before booking.
Late spring and September deliver cooler nights, thinner crowds, and easier reservations. Winter closes most campgrounds; Wildwood remains open year-round for day use, with cross-country skiing available when snow allows.
Top Hosts near East Moriches, NY
Margaret20 trips - Joined Mar 2024
We rented this RV from August 21–25, and from beginning to end, we had an absolutely wonderful experience. Charlie and Margaret were amazing hosts! Their communication was excellent, and they were always helpful, friendly, responsive, and very professional. They truly made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. The RV itself was beautiful, modern, extremely clean, and very well maintained. As soon as we walked inside, we were impressed. The lighting throughout the RV was fantastic—there were plenty of lights, which made the space feel bright, comfortable, and welcoming. The bathroom was extremely clean and surprisingly spacious. The bedroom was large, comfortable, and cozy, with plenty of storage space for clothes and personal belongings. We never felt cramped at all. The kitchen was one of our favorite features. It was beautiful and spacious, with a long countertop that gave us plenty of room to prepare meals. Charlie and Margaret really thought of everything. The cabinets and drawers were stocked with pots, pans, plates, utensils, and everything else we needed. They even provided plenty of cleaning supplies, including a broom, vacuum, Lysol wipes, and more. What impressed us most was how much this RV truly felt like a home away from home. We had everything we needed—and honestly, even more than we expected. You can tell Charlie and Margaret put a lot of thought and care into making sure their guests are comfortable and have a great experience. Whether you’re going camping, attending an outdoor event, or simply looking for a comfortable RV getaway, I would highly recommend renting from Charlie and Margaret. Beautiful RV, outstanding hosts, excellent communication, and a five-star experience all around. Thank you, Charlie and Margaret, for helping make our trip so comfortable and memorable! We would absolutely rent from you again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Richard G. - Aug 2026
We had a great time renting Margaret's trailer this past weekend. Communication was great and delivery/set up was very quick and easy. I would recommend anyone looking for a great experience to use her trailer!

How to book campgrounds near East Moriches
New York State Parks use one reservation system. Same-day reservations are allowed until 3 p.m. on day of arrival for campsites only, and reservations can be made online or through the ReserveAmerica Call Center at 1-800-456-2267. Campsite reservations can be made up to 9 months in advance, and popular summer weekends at Heckscher and Wildwood fill quickly once that window opens.
Fire Island runs on a different system. The Watch Hill campground is operated by concessioner LoveFINS, with reservations at www.lovefins.com. Ferry tickets from Patchogue are booked separately.
Private parks such as Eastern Long Island Kampground book direct through their own website. For Hammonasset Beach State Park in Connecticut, reservations go through the Connecticut state park system.
What to expect
Long Island campgrounds skew developed and family-oriented rather than remote. At Heckscher, 69 tent and trailer sites share one large grassy area, site boundaries are minimal, and numbers are painted on the roadway rather than marked by physical dividers. The campground provides restrooms, showers, a dump station, and picnic tables at each site. Expect neighbors close by and a social atmosphere in July and August.
Pets are not permitted at Heckscher campsites or cottages, and pets are not allowed at Wildwood, so travelers with dogs should plan accordingly. Watch Hill is a ferry-in experience with no cars, gear hauled by wagon, and grocery runs limited to the small camp store. Weekend traffic on the Long Island Expressway and Sunrise Highway is heavy in summer; plan arrivals for mid-morning or after evening rush.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near East Moriches, NY
How much does it cost to rent an RV in East Moriches, NY?
RV rental in East Moriches, NY is surprisingly affordable when compared to Hamptons hotel rates, with most rentals starting around $150 to $200 per night. Travel trailers tend to be the most budget-friendly choice, while Class C motorhomes and luxury fifth wheels sit at the higher end. To find a cheap RV rental in East Moriches, look at midweek dates, shoulder-season trips in May or late September, and listings near Center Moriches or Eastport rather than out in Montauk. Pro tip: book at least two to three months ahead for July and August, since Long Island RV inventory tightens fast once Hamptons season kicks off.
discoverlongisland.com/where-to-stay/campgrounds-rv-parks/Do I need a special license to rent an RV in East Moriches, NY?
Good news: for virtually every RV you'll rent on RVezy in East Moriches, NY, your regular driver's license is all you need. New York State allows you to drive a recreational vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,000 pounds or less on a standard Class D license, which covers every campervan, travel trailer, and Class B and Class C motorhome on the platform. RVezy's approved driver requirements generally ask renters to be 25 or older, and your ID is verified through the platform before pickup. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your home-country license and you're set to rent an RV in East Moriches.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat kind of protection comes with my East Moriches RV rental?
Every RV rental in East Moriches, NY booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Sunrise Highway with real peace of mind. You choose the protection level that fits your trip during checkout, not the host, and each tier covers physical damage to the RV up to set limits. While it isn't traditional auto insurance, it provides significant financial protection if something unexpected happens, from a parking-lot bump in Westhampton Beach to a flat tire on the way to Montauk. Pick your coverage tier, confirm your booking, and focus on the beach instead of the what-ifs.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my East Moriches RV trip?
Booking an RV in East Moriches is low-risk because RVezy sets the cancellation policy, not the host, and it includes a money-back grace period right after you book. The refund amount depends on how far out you are from your trip start date, and the full terms are shown clearly during checkout before you pay. If a host has to cancel on you, RVezy helps you rebook or provides a refund or travel credit. Pro tip: book early to lock in the RV you love, knowing there's flexibility if your plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV rental in East Moriches?
Yes, pet-friendly RV rental in East Moriches is easy to find on RVezy: just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when you search and you'll see every host who welcomes furry co-pilots. Many local hosts add a small cleaning fee or refundable pet deposit, which you'll see upfront before booking. Once you've got your RV, head to Smith Point County Park in Shirley (leashed dogs are allowed in designated areas) or take the pup for a romp at Cupsogue Beach County Park in Westhampton during off-season months. Heads up: Hither Hills State Park in Montauk does not allow pets at its campground, so plan around that one if Fido is along for the ride.
parks.ny.gov/regulations/pets.aspxCan someone deliver the RV to me in East Moriches?
Yes, RV delivery in East Moriches is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters who'd rather skip towing or maneuvering a motorhome through Long Island traffic. Many local hosts will bring the RV directly to your driveway, a rental house in the Hamptons, or a campground like Smith Point County Park or Indian Island in Riverhead, then set up the awning, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. Delivery fees are usually based on distance, and you'll see them clearly on the listing. Filter by Delivery when you search, message the host with your campsite address, and you're set.
suffolkcountyny.gov/Departments/Parks/Activities-and-Attractions/CampingHow far can I drive on a typical East Moriches RV rental?

Each listing shows the mileage policy and any per-mile overage fee right on the page, so there are no surprises. Pro tip: message the host before booking if you're planning a long route.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=East%20Moriches%2C%20New%20YorkWhere can I camp with my RV near East Moriches, NY?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping near East Moriches. Smith Point County Park in Shirley sits about 10 minutes south on Fire Island and offers oceanfront RV sites with water, electric and 50-amp service year-round. Cathedral Pines County Park in Middle Island is a wooded option with electric and water hookups, about 20 minutes north. Wildwood State Park in Wading River (around 35 minutes) features pull-through sites and full hookups on Long Island Sound.

suffolkcountyny.gov/Departments/Parks/Activities-and-Attractions/Camping/CampgroundsWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from East Moriches?
The sweet spot for an RV road trip from East Moriches runs late April through early November, with peak season hitting from mid-June to mid-September when ocean water warms into the 70s and daytime highs sit between 75 and 82 degrees. Spring (April to May) is fresh and quiet, with highs in the 50s and 60s, perfect for North Fork wine tasting without summer crowds. September and October are the local insider's favorite: warm 60s to 70s days, fewer Hamptons visitors, and stunning fall colors in the Pine Barrens. Winters are cold (averaging 24 to 40 degrees), so most campgrounds close November through March.
weather.gov/okx/I've never rented an RV before. Is East Moriches a good place to start?
East Moriches is an excellent spot for first time renting an RV, and here's why: the area is flat, the roads (other than the parkway system) are RV-friendly, and most rentals are smaller travel trailers or Class C motorhomes that drive much like a large van. Every RVezy host gives you a full orientation at pickup, walking you through propane, slide-outs, water systems, and dump procedures so you're never left guessing. You can also message your host anytime during the trip if a question pops up. Pro tip: book delivery for your first trip and let the host set everything up at the campground while you focus on relaxing.
dmv.ny.gov/about-dmv/driver-manuals-and-practice-testsWhat if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You're covered. Every RV rental in East Moriches, NY booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so if you get a flat tire on Sunrise Highway, lock the keys inside at Smith Point Beach, or run into a mechanical issue heading to Montauk, help is one phone call away. Your host is also a great first resource for quirks specific to their RV, and RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after every trip. Save the roadside number in your phone at pickup and you can relax knowing the safety net is in place wherever your Long Island RV trip takes you.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat are the best road trip destinations I can reach from East Moriches by RV?
An RV road trip from East Moriches puts some of the Northeast's best destinations within easy reach. Montauk Point and Hither Hills State Park sit about 35 miles east (roughly an hour) along scenic Route 27. Greenport and the North Fork wine country are about 25 miles north, perfect for a vineyard-hopping weekend. New York City is 75 miles west via the Long Island Expressway. With the Cross Sound Ferry from Orient Point, you can reach Mystic, Connecticut in about 90 minutes, or push on to Newport, Rhode Island (around 3 hours) and Cape Cod (around 4.5 hours). Confirm cross-border travel rules with your host before booking an international leg.
dot.ny.gov/programs/scenic-bywaysWhat should I budget for fuel on an East Moriches RV trip?
Fuel is usually the second-biggest line item after the rental itself, so it's worth a quick estimate. Class C motorhomes in this area typically get 8 to 12 miles per gallon, campervans 16 to 20 mpg, and tow vehicles pulling travel trailers around 10 to 14 mpg. Gas prices on eastern Long Island generally run 20 to 40 cents per gallon higher than the national average, so fuel up before crossing the Shinnecock Canal if you're heading to the Hamptons or Montauk. A typical 200-mile weekend in a Class C might cost $70 to $100 in gas. Pro tip: use the Costco in Holbrook or BJ's in Riverhead to save a few bucks per fill-up.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near East Moriches?
For the best campgrounds near East Moriches, plan to book early, especially for summer weekends. New York State Parks (Wildwood, Hither Hills, Heckscher) open reservations 9 months in advance through ReserveAmerica, and oceanfront sites at Hither Hills in Montauk often sell out within minutes of the window opening at 9 AM. Suffolk County parks like Smith Point and Cathedral Pines fill quickly too, and a Green Key resident card helps with pricing if you're local. For July and August, aim to book in November or December of the prior year. Shoulder-season campers (April to May, late September to October) can often grab spots just a few weeks out.
newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/What should I know about driving an RV around East Moriches and Long Island?
Here's the single most important Long Island RV tip: stay off the parkways. New York's scenic parkways (Southern State, Northern State, Ocean, Meadowbrook, Wantagh, Sagtikos) ban commercial and recreational vehicles and have bridges as low as 7 to 8 feet, with steep fines for violations. Stick to the Long Island Expressway (I-495), Sunrise Highway (Route 27), and Route 25, all of which welcome RVs. Traffic gets heavy Friday afternoons heading east and Sunday evenings heading west during summer, so plan around it. Pro tip: use an RV-aware GPS app like RV Trip Wizard or Garmin RV to keep you on legal roads.
dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/osss/truck-repository/restriction-list.pdfWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near East Moriches?
Campgrounds near East Moriches range from basic to fully loaded. Suffolk County parks like Smith Point and Indian Island offer water, electric, and sewer hookups with 50-amp service plus dump stations, hot showers, and flush toilets. New York State Parks like Wildwood and Heckscher have electric and water at most RV loops, with central dump stations on site. Hither Hills in Montauk is more rustic, with no individual hookups but a dump station, hot showers, and a camp store. Most campgrounds let you fill fresh water at arrival and dump waste at departure. Pro tip: ask your RVezy host to top off the fresh water tank before delivery so you start the trip ready to roll.
parks.ny.gov/camping/What's included inside an East Moriches RV rental?
Most motorhome rental East Moriches options come fully outfitted so you can just bring clothes and groceries. Expect a queen or king bed, a working kitchen with stove, microwave, fridge, sink, and cookware, a bathroom with shower and toilet, dinette seating with seatbelts, air conditioning, heat, and often a TV. Many hosts also include bedding, towels, outdoor chairs, and a propane BBQ. Wi-Fi and generators are sometimes available as add-ons (cell service is solid across most of Long Island, so a hotspot often works fine). Every listing details exactly what's included, so you'll know before you book whether you need to bring sheets or a coffee maker.
dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/osss/truck/permitsWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
When you rent an RV in East Moriches, hosts offer a range of add-ons that make the trip easier: generators (great for Hither Hills where there are no hookups), portable BBQs, bike racks, kayak racks, bedding packages, outdoor mats, and even pre-stocked kitchen kits. Pickup is usually at the host's home or storage location, with a 30 to 60 minute walkthrough included. Many hosts offer flexible pickup times and one-way drop-offs on request. Mileage policies and any extra fees (cleaning, dumping, propane refill) are spelled out clearly on each listing. Pro tip: rent a portable generator if you're heading to Hither Hills or Cupsogue County Park since neither has electric hookups.
parks.ny.gov/camping/things-to-know.aspxHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment for your East Moriches RV rental is handled securely through RVezy, never directly with the host. You'll pay the rental total at booking using a credit or debit card, and the funds are held until your trip starts. Hosts set a refundable security deposit (commonly $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV) that's authorized separately from the booking payment before pickup and released after the trip, provided the RV is returned in good shape with no damage and within the mileage allowance. The exact deposit amount is shown on each listing. Pro tip: do a quick walkaround video at pickup and drop-off, send it to your host via the RVezy chat, and you'll have zero deposit surprises.
