In 1908, prison authorities began looking for a new location for the Sing Sing prison and felt that the Bear Mountain would meet their needs. However, people lobbied against relocating the prison, and the state of New York eventually succeeded. The president of Union Pacific Railroad, E. H. Harriman, passed away that year, and his wife offered 10,000 acres and a million dollars if New York would turn it into a state park. Other prominent community leaders and benefactors like John D. Rockefellers donated a significant sum, too, contributing to the cause. Bear Mountain State Park was officially established and opened to the public in 1913.

This was our first long(ish) camper trip. It was absolutely amazing thanks to WheelSuites. Everything was seamlessly designed, efficient and organized, extremely comfortable all in a compact camper that allowed us to go everywhere we wanted and even further than we imagined. We are so grateful to wheelsuites for renting us this amazing camper to celebrate our 1 year anniversary: and thanks to the unlimited mileage we made it from NYC down to Key West and back. One of our favorite trips to date. Will definitely be renting again in the near future!

Edgar was an amazing travel van. Everything i needed and more. A few of the nights I stayed in the van , the temps were in single digits, and I was warm and toasty . Tatiana was more than helpful, with any questions I had about all the amenities in the van. Would definitely rent Edgar again , for any adventures I have planned.
Thanks again
