Camping near Scarsdale, New York
Scarsdale sits in Westchester County about 25 miles north of Midtown Manhattan, which shapes the camping options in every direction. There is no campground in Scarsdale itself, so RV travellers base themselves at parks in the Hudson Highlands to the north, on the Jersey City waterfront to the south, or at the national-park campground inside Brooklyn.
The closest sizeable public campground is Beaver Pond Campground, which adjoins the Lake Welch Recreation Area within Harriman State Park, roughly 25 miles north of the George Washington Bridge. Farther north, Clarence Fahnestock Memorial State Park covers land in both Putnam and Dutchess counties and holds the Pelton Pond campground.
For travellers who want to sightsee in New York City by transit, Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City and Floyd Bennett Field inside Gateway National Recreation Area are the two RV-accessible options with public-transport links to Manhattan. Camp Wyanokie, on the New Jersey side of the Ramapo Mountains, offers a rustic alternative within easy driving distance.
Things to do around Scarsdale
Hiking is the main draw north of the city. Harriman State Park has more than 200 miles of trails, and a portion of the Appalachian Trail runs through both Harriman and Clarence Fahnestock state parks.
Water recreation is easy to line up in warm months. Canopus Lake, with its sandy shore and nearby picnic area, is the jewel of Clarence Fahnestock, and fishing in Stillwater and Canopus Lakes and in the park's four ponds is productive for bass, pickerel, perch, and brook and rainbow trout. Rowboats and kayaks are available for rental, and Lake Welch beach sits next to Beaver Pond.
For city days, Liberty Harbor RV Park puts campers near PATH trains and the ferry to Lower Manhattan, and Floyd Bennett Field connects to the subway via the Q35 bus to the Flatbush Avenue stop.

The state-park camping season here is short. Beaver Pond typically opens in mid to late April for walk-in camping, with the regular reservation season running May through mid-October. Pelton Pond at Clarence Fahnestock normally runs mid-May through early November, but the campground is closed for the 2026 season to allow construction of a new bathhouse, so confirm status before booking.
Camp Gateway at Floyd Bennett Field follows a similar warm-weather window. Camp Gateway is open April through October and offers tent and RV camping, with generators permitted during limited hours at RV sites only. Mosquitoes and gnats get heavier from mid-summer into fall.
Liberty Harbor RV Park is the outlier for year-round access, staying open every day of the year and accepting late check-ins when the office is closed. Winter travellers should plan for freezing temperatures, snow, and the risk of frozen hookup lines.

Westchester Luxury Rv19 trips - Joined Jul 2025 - Superhost
Here’s the updated version with the host included: RV Trip Review We just got back from our trip and had a great experience with this RV. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and ran really well throughout the entire trip. It had plenty of space for the family and made traveling together easy and enjoyable. Everything worked as expected, and we felt comfortable and confident on the road. The host was also incredibly supportive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. They made the whole rental experience smooth and stress-free. It was a great RV for a family trip(5 people), and we would definitely rent from this host again!

How to book
New York state parks use ReserveAmerica. Camping reservations can be made up to nine months in advance, and same-day reservations are accepted until 3 p.m. on the day of arrival for campsites only. Weekends at Harriman fill fast in summer, so plan several months out for July and August. Note that the Pelton Pond campground at Clarence Fahnestock is closed for the 2026 season.
Camp Gateway at Floyd Bennett Field is booked through Recreation.gov, and photo ID is required at check-in. Liberty Harbor RV Park takes reservations directly through its website or by phone. Camp Wyanokie is operated by a local scouting organization and requires advance permit booking rather than walk-up stays.
What to expect on site
Hookups are the biggest planning variable. Beaver Pond has 125 campsites, with select sites able to accommodate trailers or RVs up to 30 feet, plus full-service bathrooms with showers, laundry, and a dump station, but no electrical hookups. Clarence Fahnestock has no hookups and no dump station. RV sites at Floyd Bennett Field have no water or electric hookups either, but there is a dump station and generators are allowed from 8 AM to 10 PM.
Liberty Harbor RV Park is the full-service option, with electric and water hookups, restrooms, showers, laundry, and easy transit access to Manhattan.
Other rules to note: pets are not permitted at Beaver Pond Campground or Lake Welch, alcohol is banned at Beaver Pond, and bear-safe food storage is advised across the Hudson Highlands parks.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Scarsdale, NY
How much does an RV rental in Scarsdale typically cost?
RV rental in Scarsdale is often more affordable than expected, especially when you book a few weeks ahead. On RVezy, travel trailers typically start around $90 to $150 per night, campervans run $150 to $225 per night, and larger Class A or Class C motorhomes range from $200 to $350 per night. Weekday pickups in spring and fall are usually the most affordable, while July and August (peak Hudson Valley season) command the highest rates. For a cheap RV rental in Scarsdale, look for travel trailers with delivery included so you skip the cost of a tow vehicle. Pro tip: booking a 5+ night trip often unlocks weekly discounts from hosts.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Scarsdale,%20New%20YorkWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Scarsdale, NY?
Good news: a regular New York State driver's license (or any valid US or Canadian license) is all you need to rent an RV in Scarsdale. No special endorsement, CDL, or RV certification is required for any motorhome or travel trailer on RVezy, regardless of size. You'll generally need to be 25 or older to be an approved driver, and RVezy verifies your ID through the platform during booking, so there's no paperwork to chase down. Visiting from overseas? Pick up an International Driving Permit from your home auto association before flying in and you're set. Most first-time renters are surprised how quickly they go from booking to driving away.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental insurance and roadside help included?
Yes, every RV rental in Scarsdale booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance. The protection plan covers most accidental damage to the vehicle, and you choose your coverage level during checkout based on how much peace of mind you want (hosts don't set this, you do). If you get a flat on the way to the Catskills or lose power at a campground, one phone call gets help dispatched. It's not traditional auto insurance, but it's significant financial protection designed specifically for peer-to-peer RV trips, and it removes the biggest worry first-time renters have.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat if I need to cancel my Scarsdale RV trip?
You can book your Scarsdale RV rental with confidence because RVezy (not the host) sets the cancellation policy, and it includes a money-back grace period right after booking. After that, what you get back depends on how far out you cancel. Because the policy is handled by RVezy directly rather than by each individual listing, you'll get consistent treatment no matter which RV you choose. If a host ever cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or provides a travel credit so your plans aren't left stranded. If your dates are still firming up, message a host first to confirm availability before locking in.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Scarsdale RV rental?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental in Scarsdale is easy to find on RVezy, just flip on the Pet-Friendly filter to see eligible listings. Westchester is genuinely dog-friendly, so once you've got the RV, your pup will love trails at Saxon Woods Park, the Bronx River Reservation, and Croton Point Park (which also has an RV-accessible campground). Heading further north? Harriman State Park and most New York State Park campgrounds allow leashed dogs in designated loops. Pro tip: message the host before booking to mention your dog's size and breed so check-in is smooth, and bring a portable mat to keep paws and floors happy.
parks.ny.gov/regulations/pets.aspxCan the RV be delivered to me in Scarsdale?
Yes, RV delivery in Scarsdale is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's a game-changer if you're nervous about driving a big rig through Westchester's narrow parkways (many of which prohibit RVs). Many local hosts will deliver and set up the RV at your driveway, at a Hudson Valley campground like Croton Point Park, or at a family event venue in Scarsdale, White Plains, or Rye. They'll level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. Use the Delivery filter when searching to see hosts who offer this, and check the listing for the per-mile delivery fee. It's the easiest path for first-time renters.
dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/oom/transportation-systems/repository/parkways.pdfHow far can I drive, and what about mileage limits?
Most Scarsdale RV hosts include a daily mileage allowance (commonly 100 to 150 miles per day) with the option to buy extra miles upfront, and some list RV rentals with unlimited mileage, perfect for longer Northeast loops. From Scarsdale you're about 25 miles to NYC, 100 miles to the Catskills, 180 miles to the Adirondack foothills, 220 miles to Cape Cod, and around 280 miles to Acadia-bound routes through New England. If you're planning a big RV road trip from Scarsdale, filter for unlimited-mileage listings or message the host to pre-purchase a mileage package, it's almost always cheaper than paying overage fees at drop-off.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Scarsdale,%20New%20YorkWhere are the best campgrounds near Scarsdale?
You have excellent options within an hour of Scarsdale. Croton Point Park (about 25 miles north on the Hudson) offers full-hookup RV sites with river views and is the closest true RV park. Beaver Pond Campground in Harriman State Park (about 45 miles) is a forested favorite for RV camping near Scarsdale. Further out, Taconic State Park's Copake Falls area (around 75 miles) and Mills Norrie State Park in the Hudson Valley (around 60 miles) are gorgeous. For a resort feel, Black Bear Campground in Florida, NY (about 50 miles) has a pool and full hookups. Pro tip: Croton Point books fast for summer weekends, reserve early through Westchester County Parks.
parks.westchestergov.com/croton-point-parkWhen is the best time of year for a Scarsdale RV trip?
Late May through mid-October is prime time for a Scarsdale RV trip, with September and early October standing out thanks to Hudson Valley fall foliage. Summer highs typically sit in the low 80s°F with warm, humid nights perfect for campground evenings, while fall days often hover in the 60s°F. Spring (April to May) is quieter and more affordable, though pack for cool 40 to 60°F nights. Winter rentals are available from some hosts, but most campgrounds in the region close from November through March. Local tip: book the last weekend of September at Croton Point for sunset Hudson views with the leaves near peak color.
weather.gov/okx/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay?
You'll do great, first-time renting an RV is RVezy's specialty. Every host provides a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving, leveling, hookups, the generator, and waste tanks, and they're a text away during your trip. For Scarsdale specifically, pick a smaller Class C motorhome, campervan, or travel trailer (under 25 feet) so you can comfortably handle Westchester's two-lane roads and tighter campground turns. If even that feels like a stretch, book delivery and let the host park it for you. Pro tip: do your first drive on I-684 or Taconic State Parkway sections that allow RVs, they're wider and more scenic than local roads.
dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/driving-manuals-and-practice-testsWhat happens if something breaks down during my trip?
You're covered: every RV rental in Scarsdale booked on RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan. Flat tire on the way out of town, dead battery at a Catskills campground, or a stubborn slide-out that won't retract? One phone call dispatches help. Your host is also a direct contact for the small stuff, things like resetting the inverter or finding the propane switch, and most respond within minutes. Pro tip: snap a photo of the make, model, and VIN of the RV at pickup so roadside can dispatch the right service quickly. With this safety net, most renters feel confident hitting the road.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Scarsdale RV rental into Canada or other states?
Cross-state travel is the whole point, your Scarsdale RV rental is built for a Northeast road trip. Popular routes from Scarsdale include the Berkshires (about 90 miles to Lenox, MA), Vermont's Green Mountains (around 220 miles to Stowe), Acadia National Park (about 430 miles), and the Jersey Shore (around 130 miles to Cape May). Canadian travel (Montreal is about 320 miles north) is sometimes allowed but depends on the host's insurance, so message them before booking to confirm. One firm rule: travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because the protection plan does not extend there. Filter for unlimited mileage if you're chasing a multi-state itinerary.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a Scarsdale RV trip?
Realistic fuel budgeting makes the trip stress-free. Class C motorhomes around Scarsdale average 8 to 12 MPG on gas, Class A rigs come in at 6 to 10 MPG, and campervans and travel trailers (with a capable tow vehicle) can hit 12 to 18 MPG. Westchester gas typically runs above the national average, so fill up in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, or upstate New York when you can. For a 4-day, 400-mile loop in a Class C, plan on roughly $150 to $200 in fuel at recent pump prices. Pro tip: use a fuel-price app like GasBuddy and avoid stations right off I-95 in southern Westchester, prices often drop once you're north of I-287.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground?
For RV camping near Scarsdale, book as early as you can. New York State Parks open reservations 9 months ahead through ReserveAmerica, and prime summer weekends at Harriman and Mills Norrie often fill within hours of opening. For shoulder season (May, September, October), 4 to 6 weeks is usually fine. Westchester County Parks (including Croton Point) use their own reservation system, so check the county parks site directly. Pro tip: if you strike out on a Saturday, grab a Thursday-to-Sunday booking instead, many campgrounds release these later, and a long weekend in the Hudson Valley is the perfect length for a first RV trip.
newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are the driving conditions like around Scarsdale?
Here's the critical local tip: many Westchester parkways (Hutchinson, Saw Mill, Bronx River, Cross County, and the Merritt in CT) ban commercial vehicles and most RVs due to low stone bridges, some under 8 feet. Stick to I-87, I-95, I-287, I-684, and Taconic State Parkway sections that allow RVs. Where to park an RV in Scarsdale itself is limited (it's a residential village), so most renters use delivery to a driveway or head straight to a campground. Traffic peaks weekday rush hours and Sunday evenings heading back to NYC. Pro tip: start your trip on a Friday morning or Saturday before 9 AM to dodge the worst congestion on I-684 north.
dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/oom/transportation-systems/repository/parkways.pdfWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Scarsdale?
Most established campgrounds within an hour of Scarsdale offer the essentials for a smooth RV trip. Croton Point Park has full hookups (water, 30/50-amp electric, sewer) plus a dump station and potable water fill. Harriman State Park campgrounds typically offer electric and water with a central dump station. Black Bear Campground in Florida, NY adds a pool, Wi-Fi, and laundry. Hot showers and flush toilets are standard at all of these. If you're boondocking or staying somewhere primitive, plan to dump at Croton Point or a private park along the way (call ahead, fees are usually $10 to $20). Pro tip: top off fresh water before leaving the campground, fill stations along I-684 are scarce.
parks.ny.gov/camping/What's actually inside the RV I'm renting?
Your Scarsdale RV rental comes ready to live in. Expect real beds (queen or king in most Class A and Class C motorhomes, convertible dinettes for extra sleepers), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with toilet and shower, climate control, and seatbelted seating for travel. Most listings include a TV, and many include Wi-Fi hotspots, a generator for off-grid power, outdoor speakers, and roof-mounted solar. A motorhome rental in Scarsdale (Class A and C) sleeps 4 to 8 comfortably, while a campervan rental sleeps 2 to 4. Each listing has a full amenity checklist and photos, scan the icons before booking so you know exactly what's onboard.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/recreational-vehicle-safetyWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
RVezy hosts in Scarsdale offer add-ons that genuinely make the trip easier: linen and bedding packages, kitchen kits, outdoor grills, bike racks, generators, propane fills, and pet cleaning. Delivery and setup is the most popular add-on, typically priced per mile from the host's location. Pickup and drop-off times are listed on each listing (often 1 to 3 PM pickup, 11 AM drop-off), and many hosts are flexible if you message them. Mileage policies are set by each host, common is around 100 miles per day included with a small per-mile fee for overages, or unlimited mileage on select rigs. Pro tip: bundle delivery plus linens plus a generator at booking, it's almost always smoother than adding them later.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through RVezy at booking (no cash to the host), and your card is charged for the rental, fees, and any add-ons you select. A refundable security deposit, typically a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the RV, is pre-authorized on your card before pickup (not actually charged) and released after drop-off assuming no damage or excess cleaning. To avoid surprises, take date-stamped photos and a quick video of the interior and exterior at pickup and drop-off, this is the single best habit for getting your deposit back fast. Pro tip: notify your card issuer that a large pre-auth is coming so it doesn't get flagged.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I park or store the RV in Scarsdale before my trip?
Scarsdale itself is a residential village with limited overnight RV parking, on-street RV parking is restricted and most lots don't allow oversized vehicles. The easy fix: book delivery so the host drops the RV at your driveway the morning of your trip and picks it up when you return. If you need short-term staging, private RV storage facilities in Yonkers, Elmsford, and Mount Kisco may offer day rates. For family RV trips in Scarsdale where guests are arriving from out of town, ask your host about meeting at a nearby campground like Croton Point instead. Pro tip: confirm your HOA or village rules before parking even briefly, Scarsdale enforces residential parking ordinances closely.
