About

The campground sits atop a glacial morainal hilltop at the Narrows of New York Harbor, offering some of the most spectacular urban camping views in the country.

The campground features seven tent-only sites, each with a 16x16 foot tent pad, fire pit with grill top, and picnic table. Seasonal restrooms and a cold shower are available. One site is accessible for visitors with disabilities. Reservations are required through Recreation.gov with no walk-ins permitted. Sites accommodate one large tent or two small tents with up to six people. Nearby activities include surf fishing with a license, ranger-led tours of historic fortifications, beach access at Fort Wadsworth, swimming at Great Kills Beach, bird watching, kayaking, and biking. A NYC Parks boardwalk connects to the campground area with bike rentals and food concessions available offsite.
