Camp Gateway: Wiley Post B

We camped here in our 40' 5th wheel. We are 13' 6" in height. We came in from Connecticut on I-95, took I-678 across Whitestone Bridge and then got on I-495 and then followed the directions from the reservation.gov website from there. We got here with no problems and no height clearance issues. If you arrive after hours, be sure to call the check in number that they give you on the email, or you will be woken up at midnight by a park ranger! The water filling station has 6 filling ports, only one had an adapter that allows hose hook-up. You may want to have a male to male adapter with you in case the one here is not available or no longer here. The dump station is locked, so you will need to coordinate with the ranger to dump. We enjoyed 4 nights here while visiting NYC. The bus stop is right at the entrance to the park and there is a parking lot right there to park. The bus will take you a block from the subway station that will take you directly into Manhatten. The people at the subway station were very helpful in getting us set up with our subway tickets. One thing to note is you will have to pay the first bus fare with change since you will have not purchased a metro card yet. We were not prepared for this, but the bus driver let us ride anyway. We would stay here again if visiting NYC in a camper! I gave 4 stars simply because there are no hook-ups.

Considering the proximity to Manhattan, price, view of water and water/primitive toilets this place is not too shabby.
First South Africans to review the area!
