Discover New York State

Collect your Cruise America RV from our New York City East NYE location in Bay Shore, 32 miles from JFK Airport. You won’t have to travel very far before the scenery changes from concrete to beautiful hillsides and leafy hamlets with the Hudson River as you're travelling companion. As it is your first day on the road, stay in the Newburgh area. Take a guided tour of West Point, the United States Military Academy, which must be booked in advance, or shop until you drop at the world’s largest collection of luxury designer outlets at Woodbury Common Outlet Mall.

Spend the next few days enjoying everything the Hudson Valley and the Catskills have to offer. Just north of Newburgh, enjoy the scenic splendour of the longest elevated pedestrian walkway in the world at the Walkway Over the Hudson before continuing to Hyde Park and the home and birthplace of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd and longest-serving president of the United States. Ride the Catskill Mountain Railroad from Kingston to the top of Hurley Mountain. Learn about one of the preeminent American families of the late 19th and early 20th centuries at the Vanderbilt Mansion Historic Site.

Continue north deeper into the beauty of New York State and into the great wilderness areas. The drive will take you through Albany, the state’s capital and its magnificent New York State Capitol building. Just north of Albany is Saratoga, which is famous for Saratoga Race Course, America’s oldest sporting venue. For the next few nights, we suggest staying in the vast expanse and enchanting peaks of the Adirondack mountains. Famous for Lake Placid, the home of the 1980 Winter Olympics, amongst many other natural attractions. Stop at Lake George, known as the “Queen of the American Lakes”, and get on the water with the Lake George Steamboat Company.
