While non-New Yorkers may think of the Empire State as one big city, the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island actually make up just a small portion of the state. In fact, upstate New York often has more in common with New England’s cozy farms and brilliant fall foliage than with the big city.

Pick up your New York RV rental at our Roslyn or Mahopac location in the New York City area, or head north to our Poughkeepsie office. No matter where you start your trip, Cruise America makes it easy to plan a weekend getaway from the big city or book a fly-and-drive vacation from nearby JFK airport.

When you rent an RV in New York, you’ll find it’s easy to travel throughout the state, from the serene shores of Lake Ontario to the rugged peaks of the Adirondacks. So book your New York RV rental today, and start planning your trip with these helpful vacation ideas:

Niagara Falls

Just outside Buffalo on the border between the U.S. and Canada sits Niagara Falls, a massive set of waterfalls cascading over a glacier-formed bed of shale and sandstone. Visitors throng to the area during the busy summer months, but with your RV rental, you can stay at any of the local campgrounds or RV parks on the U.S. or Canadian side of the falls. Check out our border-crossing tips and advice for Canada motorhome vacations before you book your New York RV rental.

Catskill Mountains

A lush, green area just over 100 miles north of New York City, Catskill Park is home to miles of rolling hills and scenic hiking trails. Campgrounds dot the region, as do a number of resorts, lodges and camps. Check out Kaaterskill Falls, the tallest (though not the largest) waterfall in New York.

Adirondack Mountains

Located in eastern upstate New York, the Adirondack Mountains are home to incredible recreation, including golf, camping, fishing and kayaking. Bordered by Lake Champlain and Lake George and encompassing several smaller lakes, the six-million-acre Adirondack Park Preserve offers plenty of places to camp as well.

The Finger Lakes Region

Located in west-central upstate New York, the Finger Lakes region encompasses 11 lakes. A popular tourist destination, the area boasts two of the deepest lakes in the world, Seneca and Cayuga. There are endless ways to spend a Finger Lakes vacation, from music festivals and winery tours to fishing trips – as well as plenty of places to spend the night in your New York RV rental, from full-service RV parks to state park campgrounds.
