RV Rentals at U.S. Open Tennis
The last major of professional tennis to be held during the calendar year, the U.S. Open takes place in New York City starting on the last Monday in August and running for two weeks into September. The event takes place in the borough of Queens, at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park at the venue known as the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The first U.S. National Championships, as the event was once known, took place in 1881. With the advent of the Open Era in professional tennis in 1968, the U.S. Open became available to all professional tennis players, not just amateurs as had been the case for the tournament until 1968.
Some of the greatest men's and women's players in history have won the U.S. Open, including legendary names like Rod Laver, Margaret Court, John McEnroe, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and Novak Djokovic.
ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT
The U.S. Open consists of championships for singles (men's and women's), doubles (men's and women's), and mixed doubles (both men and women). There are seven rounds, consisting of Rounds 1-4, a Quarterfinal Round, a Semifinal Round, and a Finals Round. The men play best-of-five matches while women play best-of-three matches.
All matches take place at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The complex has 22 courts, with 12 courts outside its perimeter. There are three stadiums, with Arthur Ashe Stadium seating 23,000. Arthur Ashe Stadium is where the Finals Rounds take place.
The tournament also hosts a U.S. Open Fan Week, which is free and open to the public. See some previous champions up close and take in family-friendly concerts and other events. There is also an Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day.
ON-SITE AMENITIES
The Tennis Center has tons of food options ranging from Mexican and Italian to seafood, burgers, hot dogs, and ice cream. Also on-site are bars serving all manner of alcoholic drinks. In addition, the Tennis Center has handicap-accessible seating and parking as well as assisted-listening devices and sensory kits.
You cannot bring in items like backpacks, large electronics like iPads, laser-pointing devices, drones, and selfie sticks. You also cannot bring any pets, except for service animals.
Since many of the courts are outside and open, make sure to prepare for sitting in the hot sun. Wear light-colored, comfortable clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

The address for the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is Flushing Meadows - Corona Park, Flushing, NY 11368.

RVING AT THE EVENT
It goes without saying that you won't find convenient RV parks or campgrounds in New York near the event venue or anywhere else in the city. Your best bet will be to find a place to camp in suburban NYC or in neighboring New Jersey or Connecticut.
Consider Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City, New Jersey. This campground stays open 365 days a year and has 50 sites, a dump station, 24/7 security, and complimentary WiFi. What's great about this location is you can leave your RV parked and take the PATH train into Manhattan. The closest station is five blocks away from the park.
At Nickerson Beach Park in Nassau County, you'll have a choice of 74 spots, many of which have full hookups. You can swim, fish, and go boating here.
New York City isn't conducive to RV travel. However, much of the rest of the state is. Just some of the top sites include the Adirondacks, Niagara Falls, and the Finger Lakes region.

WHERE TO STAY
New York City has an abundance of hotel and motel options. To cut down on travel, try and find a place in Queens near the Tennis Center. Manhattan is considered the heart of NYC, but it's a long subway/train ride out to Flushing Meadows. Some options in Queens include the Four Points by Sheraton Flushing and the John Hotel.
HOW TO GET THERE
The best and smartest thing to do is leave your RV or car at your campsite or other location and use NYC's extensive public transportation system to get to Flushing Meadows. If you're coming from Manhattan, take the 7 train from Grand Central Terminal to Mets-Willets Point Station. You can also take the Long Island Rail Road to Mets-Willets Point Station.
PARKING
There are parking areas at the Tennis Center; which zone is available depends on whether the New York Mets are playing nearby at Citi Field. Note that parking can cost upward of $40.
