About Mills Norrie State Park

Mills Norrie State Park is a Hudson River state park in Staatsburg, New York, about 90 miles north of New York City in Dutchess County. The park combines two adjoining properties, Ogden and Ruth Livingston Mills Memorial State Park and Margaret Lewis Norrie State Park, covering roughly 1,000 acres of forest, meadows, and riverfront. Visitors come for sweeping views of the Hudson and the Catskill Mountains beyond, a public 18-hole golf course, a marina with boat launch, and a network of wooded hiking and cross-country ski trails. The park also hosts the Norrie Point Environmental Center, a Hudson River estuary education facility operated with the NYSDEC. A seasonal campground offers tent and trailer sites along with rustic cabins, making it a practical base for exploring nearby Hyde Park, the Vanderbilt Mansion, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Home, and Staatsburgh State Historic Site.

How to get to Mills Norrie State Park

The park is just off US Route 9 in Staatsburg, roughly 10 minutes north of Poughkeepsie and about 1.5 to 2 hours from New York City via the Taconic State Parkway and local routes. RV drivers should note that the Taconic State Parkway prohibits commercial vehicles and has low, stone-arch bridges, so large motorhomes and trailers are typically routed via I-87 (New York State Thruway) to I-84 east, then north on US 9. Albany is about 75 miles north via US 9 or the Thruway. The nearest major airports for fly-and-rent trips are Stewart International (SWF) near Newburgh and Albany International (ALB).

Best time to visit Mills Norrie State Park

Late May through early October is the best window for RV travel, when the campground is open, trails are dry, and the Hudson Valley is warm. September and early October bring cooler temperatures, fewer bugs, and strong fall foliage along the river. July and August are peak season with the busiest marina and golf traffic, so midweek arrivals are easier. April and November are cool shoulder months with limited camping services.
