Why hire a campervan or motorhome in New York State

New York State — a region worth exploring

New York State stretches over 141,000 square kilometres, from the Atlantic shores of Long Island to the vast wilderness of the Adirondack Park — the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States at over 24,000 square kilometres. Beyond the bright lights of New York City, the state reveals a remarkably diverse landscape for road trips. The drive from Manhattan to Niagara Falls covers roughly 650 km, passing through the rolling farmland of the Hudson Valley, the deep gorges of the Finger Lakes, and the flat plains along the Erie Canal. Head north from Albany to Lake Placid, a distance of about 180 km, and you will climb into the High Peaks region where 46 summits rise above 1,200 metres. Coastal travellers can explore Montauk Point Lighthouse at the eastern tip of Long Island, while history enthusiasts will find the United States Military Academy at West Point perched above the Hudson River. The Catskill Mountains offer winding roads through forested valleys, and Letchworth State Park — often called the Grand Canyon of the East — features three major waterfalls along the Genesee River. Travelling by campervan or motorhome gives you the freedom to connect these regions at your own pace. Through Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners across the state, choosing from a wide range of vehicles to match your route and group size. Whether you are circling the Finger Lakes or heading deep into the Adirondacks, peer-to-peer sharing means more choice and a personal touch for your New York State adventure.

Best time to visit

New York State is a year-round destination, with each season offering something special. Late September to mid-October brings the famous autumn foliage, particularly spectacular along the Adirondack Northway and through the Hudson Valley. Summer, from June to August, is ideal for lakeside camping around the Finger Lakes and Thousand Islands. The Great New York State Fair in Syracuse runs each August and is well worth a visit. Spring opens up campsite availability across the state, and with Yescapa's peer-to-peer model you can often find competitive rates outside peak summer months. We recommend booking early for July and August, as these are the most popular months for campervan travel in New York State.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in New York State

New York State's highway network includes the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90), a toll road running roughly 900 km from New York City to Buffalo. Tolls are collected electronically via E-ZPass or by post through the Tolls by Mail system — no cash booths remain. Speed limits for motorhomes and larger vehicles are generally 105 km/h on interstate highways and 90 km/h on state roads, though posted limits may vary. Rest areas with parking suitable for campervans and motorhomes are spaced regularly along the Thruway. Be aware that some parkways on Long Island and around New York City have low bridge clearances and prohibit vehicles over a certain height, so always check your route in advance.

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in New York State

Alexander
5 / 5

Clean. Comfortable. Clearly designed with so much thought and attention to detail. My husband and I rented this van for a quick weekend trip. It was just the 2 of us, but it would work just as well for 4 people. The camper was the perfect set up for us to find a spot we liked and come and go as needed throughout action packed days. The van drove smoothly, and the set up inside was super intuitive with everything we needed and more. The kitchen was well stocked, the bed was comfortable and we had just what we needed. Amélie and her husband were wonderful, making the entire process stress free and easy! They even surprised us with some welcome drinks in the fridge. Check in and check out were a breeze. We would absolutely rent from Amélie again!

Una experiència 10! Des del primer moment, el tracte amb Sucesso Rent ha estat excel·lent: molt amables, professionals i sempre disponibles per qualsevol dubte. Llogar la camper per recórrer São Miguel ha sigut la millor opció pel nostre viatge. Ens ha permès descobrir cada racó de l'illa al nostre ritme, sense presses i amb total llibertat. Hem pogut gaudir de paisatges, aturar-nos on ens venia de gust i viure una experiència molt més autèntica. La camper estava en perfecte estat, còmoda i equipada amb tot el necessari. Recomanem aquesta empresa al 100% a qui vulgui visitar São Miguel d'una manera diferent i especial. Moltes gràcies per fer que el nostre viatge hagi estat tan fàcil i inoblidable!

Reservar con Sergi fue un acierto, la autocaravana tiene todo lo necesario y estuvimos genial. La comunicación con el ha sido fluida y ha sido muy atento. Tuvimos un problema con el aire acondicionado, cosas que pasan, pero enseguida se presto a darnos soluciones y a compensarlo. Muchas gracias!

A wonderful couple and a pleasure to host. Communication was easy and smooth throughout the whole rental, and they were completely reliable. They returned the van exactly as agreed, on time and in excellent condition. Everything went perfectly from start to finish. I would be more than happy to rent to them again and can highly recommend them to any host.
