Such a unique location. Amazing view of Manhattan and surprisingly quiet considering it is NYC. Showers and bathrooms were clean.

Great place to park if you're going to the city! Hookups and shower available! If you have a larger rig, use a Garmin to get there. Google will take you down roads with low clearance.

Great place! Beautiful spot. There are a couple of spots available, one next to the house and one further down the road on a small pull-off. We stayed by the house and it was great.

My second stay here, really love it as the only urban camping I’ve ever seen on HipCamp. Very safe, surprisingly quiet at night. Love the hot showers and Wi-Fi.

This place is pretty remarkable, because I’m sure you’ve never considered camping in New York City. The positives: easy to get to without a lot of City driving, plenty of space, electrical hook ups, safe section of town, bathrooms with toilets and showers, shockingly quiet at night. The Wi-Fi was fast and steady and it was good enough for me to have zoom meetings. The negatives: most of the sites aren’t actually numbered so you just sort of pick one but everyone who arrives looks very confused, the parking lot surroundings aren’t very beautiful and there’s a lot of weird stuff being stored in the parking lot from the gym next-door, and the bathrooms aren’t great. But, come on, it’s New York City. You’re not staying at the Ritz and this definitely is not the Ritz. This is absolutely the least expensive way to stay in New York while sleeping in your own bed. The subway is about four blocks away and it takes about 25 minutes to get to Manhattan. I absolutely loved it and will definitely be back.

I was in the non-view location. It was safe, peaceful, and friendly. I took the dog walking to the view every day, so I didn't miss being located on the river. It was an easy walk to the subway, and my dog walked right onto the train no problem. It's a super place to stay!

Great spot for a quick camping trip! Although it was on someone's property, no one was around so it still felt secluded.

The lot was secure and relatively quiet. I felt comfortable in the neighborhood. "Jack" seemed nice enough, but not overly friendly. He hadn't gotten the message I sent weeks before until I was there and trying to pull into the lot, which I found to be kind of annoying. The bathrooms were on site but were not clean and did not have any soap. Overall, I would stay again due to how secure and relaxed the environment is. Brooklyn is not as convenient as I thought it would be due to having to take 3 different trains to where I needed to go in Manhattan --though the camp is just a short 5-10 minute walk to the G train .

Alex is an awesome host, the showers worked perfectly and I think they had about 10. The bathrooms were functional and had full sized sinks with lots of room for shaving and dental space. The showers are also sheltered from the elements. Parking and hookups were a breeze. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK FOR ROAD CLOSURES! The ride in was a breeze in our little rv but there was a bicycle tour the day we were leaving and all of NYC was chaos trying to get out. It was really nice that we were allowed late check out due to the circumstances our GPS was useless fortunately we knew our way around and had to go block by block to the 92nd street on ramp to the Verazanno. Greenpoint is awesome and very safe though always use caution at night and on thesubway. The lot itself is probably the quietest place I've ever been in NYC. At no point did I feel unsafe in the lot. There is a cool little movie theater a block away that was great. I would not call Greenpoint a community of early risers, before 8 am it's a ghost town. If you want to take a morning jog or walk you will practically have the place to yourself. I went to a polish restaurant called polizaski or something like that and it was terrific. Lots of little artsy shops and an axe throwing pub on the same block that was not loud or disruptive. YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS PLACE IT IS A TRUE GEM!
