RVING AT THE EVENT

Unfortunately, there’s no on-site parking at all this year for Electric Zoo, let alone overnight parking or RV camping. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the festival with the comfort and convenience of an RV as your home base!

Traveling in a motorhome or travel trailer gives you the perfect combination of flexibility and coziness. No matter where you’re coming from, you’ll get to sleep in the same bed each night, and you won’t have to worry about unpacking and repacking your suitcase. Whether you drive from home and camp along the way or fly in and rent an RV close to your destination, when you secure your RV rental through RVshare, you’ll be supporting trusted local owners -- and traveling in some of the nicest rigs around. Check out the listings available on the peer-to-peer market in your area today!

So, where can you camp in the greater New York City area? Although it’s not known for being replete with greenways, there are a few options for those wishing to bring an RV to Electric Zoo.

Liberty Harbor RV Park is located in Jersey City, New Jersey, just minutes from downtown Manhattan by PATH train or ferry. It offers full hookups at surprisingly affordable prices, starting at $TBA per night. (Hey, it’s New York City -- you can’t expect it to be that cheap!

Nickerson Beach Park is a public campground operated by Nassau County, and offers 74 RV spaces with available water, sewer, and electrical hookups. Visitors can also enjoy swimming, fishing, and boating along its beachfronts, but reservations should be made as soon as possible, as slots fill up quickly!

WHERE TO STAY

Skipping the RV experience this time around? There’s certainly no shortage of lodging options in New York City, whether you want the all-inclusive luxury experience or a modest but community-forward hostel with a dorm room bed to lay your head on at night. 

Although we couldn’t possibly create a comprehensive list of accommodations in New York City in this post, it’s easy to find lodging in the Big Apple through your favorite travel agency or simply by running a Google search. That said, here are a few possibilities we didn’t want to escape your notice.

Pod 39, a member of the exclusive family of Pod Hotels, combines all the things you want in a NYC stay: central location, cool decor, plenty of amenities and, best of all, a budget-friendly rate schedule. Although the rooms are small, they’ve got everything you need, including personal flat-screen TVs for each bed. Pod 39 also offers a hip rooftop bar from which to watch all the action, and an indoor lounge when you’re ready to mix and mingle.

Lefferts Manor is a stylish bed and breakfast located in Brooklyn, offering a boutique New York City experience you won’t be able to replicate elsewhere. Plus, you’ll have easy access to the Electric Zoo shuttle… not to mention at least one of your daily meals taken care of!

The Local New York is the perfect option for the budget-conscious traveler who’s just looking for a place to crash after a long day of partying -- and maybe even to make a new friend or two in the bargain. The hostel offers dorm beds starting as low as $TBA nightly, and features an on-site bar offering beer, wine, and light bites to tide you over until you get to Randall’s Island.

HOW TO GET THERE

Arriving at Electric Zoo isn’t hard to do, no matter where you’re coming from, thanks to its central location in America’s largest metropole. Once you find your way to New York City, you can reach Randall’s Island by metro or ferry -- or, if you’re staying in Brooklyn, you can take advantage of the special Electric Zoo shuttle bus.

If you’re flying into New York, you can choose from its three major international hubs: John F. Kennedy International (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), or Newark International (EWR). All three are less than twenty miles from midtown Manhattan, and multiple transit options exist once you land. For full details on public transit and how to get to the Electric Zoo event grounds, check out the festival’s official travel page here.
