See the **Statue of Liberty** and **Ellis Island** right from the property. How great is that!?

Simple RV Park that is conveniently located. Best place to RV while visiting NYC. Just steps away from a boat into the city with frequent round trips. Electric and Water hookups at each site and a dump station located next to the showers. Any time we plan to go into the City we will plan to stay here.
The good:
Easy and quick mass transit to and from Manhattan
The bad:
Very rude female staff member (you'll know the one when you arrive if she's covering the office) She over compensates for her very obvious anger issues by referring to every paying customer
as "love" and "honey bunch" and no she's not British.
The reason these anger issues were brought to light:
A friend of ours wanted spend a day camping at the same campground and spend a day in the city with us. Our friend arrived 17 minutes before check in and was not allowed to check in early even though her camp site was open and no they don't prep the sites. Hey we get it, rules are rules and our friend proceeded to park and wait where she thought was overflow parking to wait until she could check in. Our friend mis interpreted the angry female staffer's instructions to park somewhere else further away.
Instead of handling the situation like an adult this staffer came rushing towards our friend yelling at her. If a customer is not belligerent or rude you treat them with respect and advise them that they are breaking campsite policy instead of being rude and belligerent towards a paying customer.
Secondly for the price you pay to camp in a parking lot with water and electric, you would think that number one, they would keep there bathrooms clean which in a 5 night stay that we were there they never once cleaned the bathrooms. One day the sewage overflowed with feces laden water spilling out all over the floors in the center drain hole covering about 75% of the men's room floor. That and the fact that when the bathroom's not covered in feces the shower fixtures are broken and not one night could we take showers with consistent temperature. The water pressure was very poor and there is no possibility of warm water. You only have fluctuations between ice cold and burning hot.
There are much better options that are just as close to the city with even better mass transit options to get to Manhattan in Brooklyn that we're going to use next time.
We were pleasantly surprised with our stay at Liberty Harbor. We were afraid it would be really noisy - not at all. Really dirty - not at all. Melanie and the other girls in the office were very helpful and knowledgeable. The walk to the NJ subway station was fun. Walking down to the pier at night, beautiful. Getting to see Lady Liberty from the RV park, priceless. The prices? Pricey!! It would be wonderful to see at least a small, grassy area with real grass. It's just gravel and pavement everywhere. Would we stay there again? Yes!
Excellent experience here. Location was perfect-- easy to get to the park with an RV and very close so you could quickly jaunt into NYC. Staff was friendly and kept us feeling well cared for and safe. A great urban park experience with a view of Lady Liberty. Bathrooms were clean and so was the laundry facilities. We are so glad we stayed here and would be back any time. It was exactly the experience we were looking for.
You cannot beat the location! The area in Jersey City is wonderful and safe with lots of cute restaurants. The subway is a short walk and takes you into NYC quickly. The staff at check-in was friendly as well as the security for the rv park/marina. I used the showers a couple times and they were clean with nice hot water. I think it is important you have realistic expectations when coming here. This is not a traditional campground with lots of grass, a playground, etc. This is a place to park to be close to the city/attractions. It definitely exceeded my expectations and we had a great time!
