Morning on the Greenpoint waterfront starts with Manhattan across the East River and a walk to the showers, set in a greenhouse-like building that guests keep writing about. Skyline RV Camp, on Noble Street at the top of Brooklyn, bills itself as the only RV camp in New York City. The people who write in range from full-time RV families to a family in a converted school bus to couples who stayed several nights.
This is a week where the motorhome mostly stays put. A family in a 30-foot rig has beds, a kitchen and a bathroom parked on the river, with shore power keeping the air on. The days go to Brooklyn and Manhattan, and the rig waits in Greenpoint until the week is over.
The city's beach day is out at the Rockaways and around Jamaica Bay, which the Queens page covers, and the rig stays on its Greenpoint pad while you go. Floyd Bennett Field, on the Brooklyn shore of Jamaica Bay, still gets talked about as a city campground, but the Park Service's Gateway camping page lists no campground there as of October 2026, so plan it as a day out and sleep in Greenpoint.
Skyline RV Camp's two pads on Noble Street
The skyline view belongs to the waterfront camp at 1 Noble St, which takes rigs up to 50 feet, while the non-waterfront camp at 50 Noble St tops out at 30 feet, as of October 2026 per Skyline RV Camp. Reserve the pad on Skyline's booking page first and choose the motorhome second, because anything longer than 30 feet only fits by the water. If it's two of you and the smaller pad is the one open, a campervan fits it with room to spare.
Both camps run on electric pedestals with 30 and 50 amp service, and there's no water hookup at the pad, only a refill station on site. There's no dump station either, so arrive with empty holding tanks and a full fresh tank, and work out where you'll empty them before a long stay fills them.
Belt, Ocean and Jackie Robinson parkways in a motorhome
Brooklyn's parkways were built for cars, and getting the rig to Greenpoint is the one drive of the week worth planning. NYC DOT bars commercial vehicles from the Belt Parkway, Ocean Parkway and Jackie Robinson Parkway, along with the Cross Island and most of the Grand Central. The on-ramps carry Passenger Cars Only and No Commercial Vehicles signs.
The sign that settles it for a motorhome is the yellow Maximum Vehicle Height 6'11" plate. Where it's posted, nothing taller may enter, and the city's parkway brochure notes that some parkway bridges are posted that low. Every motorhome in the listings stands well above that line.
The same brochure tells drivers not to rely on GPS alone and to follow the posted signs. That matters most in a rig, since a phone app will happily route a tall vehicle onto a parkway ramp.
If the week you want is on the sand instead, Long Island's county campgrounds are the beach week for a rig closest to the city, and the Long Island RV page covers them. For a week anywhere else in the state, start with the New York RV page.
