Discover Sunken Meadow State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Sunken Meadow State Park is a hidden gem on Long Island. The state of New York began purchasing land in 1928, and the park was officially established in 1952, though at the time, there were no roads, paths, or any form of access. That came later a few years later, in the late 1950s. Today, Sunken Meadow State Park is a popular picnicking spot for many Long Island residents, who enjoy watching the boats sail by on the Long Island Sound. It, however, tends to be overlooked by tourists in favor of beach parks that look out on the mighty Atlantic Ocean.

Getting Outdoors

Sunken Meadow State Park borders three miles of sandy beaches. Across Long Island Sound, CT is visible. The water is relatively calm, with small waves. As a result, accessing the open water of the Sound is easier than the Atlantic side of the island. Many people enjoy sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, and kayaking on the sound. Beach-goers engage in games of volleyball, frisbee, and horseshoe toss, and on a hot summer day, suntanning or swimming. A boardwalk runs parallel to the beach, stretching for almost a mile.

Camping at Sunken Meadow State Park

Although RV camping at Sunken Meadow State Park isn’t possible because it is designated a day-use park, there are several other options on Long Island. The Battle Row Campground in Old Bethpage, NY may be a good candidate. It has 64 RV sites with partial (water and electric) hookups, and there are restrooms with hot showers, too. This campground is open year-round.

Exploring the Area

Although the Big Apple (aka New York City) is a must-see destination for many visitors, don’t overlook the small towns scattered along the rest of the Long Island. Traveling from town to town is a snap in a rental motorhome. Many are historic, dating back to the founding of the United States. George Washington himself authorized the construction of Montauk Point Lighthouse, out past Montauk, and it’s one of the oldest in the area. There are several other lighthouses along the shores of Long Island and Connecticut, too. The Fire Island Lighthouse also is a popular spot, known for its sheer, raw beauty that photographers enjoy.

Nice van and nice people to rent from. Interior is nice and well furnished, drove well. Bed is a little more complicated to set up than I expected, but would have been fine if I had service to review the video.
