RV Rentals at U.S. Open Tennis
There’s no game quite like tennis, which pits the player against herself as much as it does against her opponent. And the premier tennis event of the year is the U.S. Open, which is the only Grand Slam Tennis Tournament that takes place on American soil.
Better yet, it’s held annually in none other than New York City, making it the perfect excuse to take in an idyllic city weekend, complete with Broadway shows, shopping at Saks, and everything else the Big Apple is famous for. Whether you bring an RV rental to camp out in or take advantage of one of the many exciting lodging and ticket packages on offer from the association, the 2024 U.S. Open is a fantastic reason to go exploring — and we’ve got all the details you need to make it happen.
ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT
You’ll watch some of the most powerful and renowned athletes on Earth perform their stunning skills, whether you stay for a few qualifying matches or the entirety of Finals weekend.
ON-SITE AMENITIES
The most spellbinding part of the event, no doubt, is the wide range of tennis matches to experience up close and personal. From the first few rounds to the quarter- and semi-finals, all the way down to the game that determines the ultimate champions, there are dozens of opportunities to see your favorite athletes in their element. The Tennis Center offers comfortable seating, restroom facilities, and on-site dining options, as well as a fully functional pro shop — just in case you’re inspired to pick up a racket yourself!
LOCATION
The 2024 U.S. Open will be held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York, which can be found at the following address:
Flushing Meadow - Corona Park, Flushing, New York 11368
RVING AT THE EVENT
Due to its urban location, there’s no on-site RV camping at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, where the U.S. Open is held. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your New York City experience with a motorhome or travel trailer service as home base. In fact, an RV rental can be a great way to balance the hustle and bustle of city life with the relaxing, private respite you need to fully enjoy your vacation.
While New York isn’t known for being awash in campgrounds, there are a few locations that make it possible to enjoy the #RVlife in style, even in the shadows of Manhattan’s skyscrapers! Here are some to consider.
Liberty Harbor RV Park is located just a few minutes from downtown Manhattan via either PATH train or ferry, just across the river Jersey City, New Jersey. It offers full hookup sites starting at $TBA per night -- which, by New York standards, is a bargain!
Nickerson Beach Park is a public campground operated by Nassau County that boasts 74 RV spaces, many of which have water, sewer, and electrical hookups available. You can also beat the late-summer New York heat by swimming, fishing, and boating along its beachfronts… but be aware that these sites fill up fast, so make your reservations as soon as possible!
WHERE TO STAY
Not planning to bring an RV to the open this year?
No problem: this is New York City, which means your lodging options are basically limitless. Whether you want the convenience and luxury of one of the sponsored hotels offered in the U.S. Open Package deals, or a modest-but-community-minded hostel experience, you can fine-tune your stay when you’ve got such an ample number of accommodations to choose from.
While we could never list all of the available hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts, and other lodging opportunities in New York City, we will name a few options below to help you get started on your search, as well as reviewing the package options available directly from the event organizers.

Other New York City Accommodations to Consider
Of course, even if you don’t take advantage of one of the convenient packages offered by the Open, you’ve got no shortage of accommodation options to choose from in the most populated city in America. Although we encourage you to do your own research to find the location most suited to your needs, here are a few we don’t want you to skip over.
The Local New York is a great option if your budget-minded and looking to make a new friend or two during your stay. A hostel offering dorm-style lodging starting as low as $TBA nightly, it’s doubtful you’ll find a better deal -- and you’ll also get access to unique features like an on-site bar offering beer, wine, and light bites to tide you over between matches.
The Paper Factory Hotel is a unique piece of New York charm that’s easy to overlook: nestled in the remains of an old -- you guessed it -- paper factory, this trendy spot is both comfortable and relatively affordable. That’s partially because it’s located not in midtown, but nearby Queens… but given the ease of subway access, that’s really no big deal (and in fact may be part of the fun). It’s just a short train ride away from everything you want to experience in the Big Apple, and you’ll feel a little bit more like a local.
Yotel combines the New York boutique hotel experience with relatively affordable prices, and there are five different locations in New York to choose from. A brand built on its tech-savviness, Yotel offers well-appointed “‘cabins” instead of traditional rooms, which feature future-minded amenities like adjustable bedding, rain-style shower heads, and smart TVs.
We also encourage you to check out Airbnb, where you can find unique vacation rentals of all shapes, sizes, and styles, from posh furnished private pads to crash space on a local’s couch. Make your stay what you want it to be and support locals on the peer-to-peer market, whether that’s with RVshare or not!
HOW TO GET THERE
Given its status as the densest metropolitan area in America, it’s not hard to find yourself in New York City. By automobile, it’s accessible from a huge range of major American highways, including I-95, I-78, and I-80. If you choose to fly into town, you can choose between John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), or nearby Newark Liberty International (EWR), all of which are serviced by hundreds of commercial flights by major carriers each day.
While parking is available at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the organizers recommend you find your way there using New York’s vast and efficient public transportation system -- especially if you purchase one of their packages, which includes lodging in the convenient and bustling Central Park area. The venue is accessible by metro via the IRT #7 Flushing subway from either Times Square or Grand Central Station to the Mets-Willets Point Station or the IND "E" or "F" trains to Roosevelt Avenue and transfer upstairs to the IRT #7 train (Flushing bound) subway to the Mets-Willets Point Station. You can also reach the Center via the Long Island Rail Road. For full details on directions, click here.
PARKING
If you do choose to park at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, you’ll want to purchase your passes ahead of time. Pass prices vary, depending on which specific match you want parking privileges for.
Drive-up garage rates may also be available on the day of the event.
TICKETS & PRICING
While you’ll need to interface with the organization directly to custom-craft a package including lodging, individual tickets are also available. To get the best pricing and purchase opportunity click here, or dial 718-760-6363 to speak directly with a US Open Client Services Representative, who can give you more information on ticketing options.
