Nice open areas it sit and a great place to view the sunset! Plenty of public bathrooms. 4 stars because the park officer was a bit over the top about telling us to leave by dark.

Rakib Hasan | Sep 12, 2021
Scott I. (FEARstyle) | Sep 12, 2021

Negative campsites for RVs with hookup have electricity though

Planning to go for tent camping, is this place near to beach, and is swimming allowed in the beach , kids will be along with us so a beach is best fit for them

sanjit das | Sep 12, 2021
Scott I. (FEARstyle) | Sep 12, 2021

This is not a lake in any way as another person has Said this is the Hudson river and yes there is a swimming beach that requires tickets. Personally I wouldn't swim that water. It's definitely not the what I'd consider clean and I've seen the run off from the land fill that is the hill in the middle of the park. That being said there is in relative shirt distance other park and watershed property that you can swim +watershed at your own risk no lifeguard)

Maritza Perdomo | Sep 13, 2019
Jehuda Ish-Shalom | Sep 13, 2019

As best I know there are no reservations. First come first serve. But hopefully all nice and can share. If you want to use the large roofed area for a large group then you will need to make a reservation and pay well in advance, as these are usually reserved by many groups way in advance. Note that at that time there is a fee charged to enter the Croton Point Park.

Nancy Dowling | Sep 13, 2019
Kelly Mongiello | Sep 13, 2019

You can take a train to grand central, depending if it is express train or local, approx 1 hour. You can drive, which could take an hour or lots longer depending on your route and time of day. I recommend the train since its walking distance from the park, or drive to station and pay to park. Use cabs or subway to get around NYC if you take the train.
