Croton Point Park Campground

Sitting on a peninsula, it has water on three side but minimal views from the campground. That does not matter. This charming park has so much to offer. A short walk to the river side opens up extraordinary view. A beach, ball park, walking trails and nature center. Nestled next to a capped off and since retired landfill. The landfill is now a gorgeous bird sanctuary with miles of walking trails. The MTA is a mile and a half away for your hour long train ride to the city. The campground itself is tight but easily accessible. Some sites are too short for longer rigs, so make sure you detail your rig length with the office when booking. We stayed in site 17 with was perfect. Full hook up with clean water and 50 amp service. Some sewer taps are behind the site, so have an extra section of sewer hose handy. The bathhouses are dated but cleaned daily. The showers are an issue. The water its heated by solar and will never get warm enough for even the most diehard cold shower fanatic. Westchester County is unapologetic about that so, it's not worth the fuss. If you have a tall rig, your GPS will send you into the abyss with low overpasses. Make sure you use RVLife or another method to avoid the low overpasses. Another word of caution and your GPS won't protect you from this; the roads leading into and out of the park are worse than roads in Bolivia. Potholes have potholes. If your tire pressure is too high, you may have a few items displaced in your RV. You've been warned. Cold showers, poor roads and low overpasses are not going to keep me away from this extraordinary campground. Highly recommended. We have met the most kind and friendly folks while camping here. We will be back. We camped at Croton Point Park Campground in a Travel Trailer.

We had a Great stay here. The park is quite nice- the tent area is seperated from the RV area & cabins by about 600 yards. The fire pits are provided, and its Very Pleasant. Downside: kudzu is killing this park. The vines are choking every other plant to death, and soon, this will be a 1 foot tall kudzu patch unless intervention is done. There is beach swimming, and nice Clean showers too. But please NY- you need to address the kudzu soon

We love to camp here. Our dogs love walking and exploring the grounds. The staff are pleasant and helpful. My only "complaint" is that a large portion of our Saturday was spent inside because of the maintenance that was being done. It was loud and intrusive, he couldn't have cared less that I was outside enjoying myself and come back to our site later. Rocks and sticks were being kicked up and hitting our rv windows which caused me to fear them cracking by accident. Aside from that, we truly enjoy the grounds themselves and are happy they are maintained. The views and history are both great. Local spot for ice cream: the blue pig! Local spot for food: asagao!

This place is amazing. We come here with a group every June and September. We look forward to it each time! Beautiful sites. Within walking distance to Metro North trains. Definitely well cared for.

Croton Point Campground is modest little campground, located along the Hudson River within Croton Point Park in NY. In addition to camping, the park itself offers many of its own attractions, including swimming hiking, kayaking cabin rentals, and a host of other family oriented activities just along the Hudson. The park, which is honestly probably the larger attraction here, is located just an hour and a half outside of the city. This proximity is both its perk and its downfall, as the park has become laden with all sorts of inexplicable and just burdensome rules, endless guidelines, and restrictions only a New York State run bureaucracy could ever make sense of, let alone hope to justify. This includes all manner of restrictions on how you can camp, where you can camp, what equipment can be used and use in relation to what particular site you may have been lucky enough to reserve. Much of this you can understand while imagining what may have taken place here to bring them to such measures, but it doesn't make it any easier to contend with. In terms of the actual camping conditions Both the tenting section and RV sites are each very clustered together, and quite crowded, with regular patrols 🚓 (actual patrols) being made day and night, by both the Park Rangers and what appears to be general maintenance staff members, all looking to see if you or your family might be doing something that they might consider outside of their endless guidelines or not in compliance with their many restrictions. This is not to say you can't possibly have a good time here. It just might mean being a bit more diligent toward reviewing the potential legitimacy of your normal camping routine to ensure it meets with many guidelines imposed while also making yourself comfortable with some fairly regular surveillance during your stay here. These all being things we hoped to get away from while camping ourselves It just turned out to be a bit much for our particular liking.
