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.

We had such a wonderful experience renting Ivan’s camper van for a week! Honestly, everything was even better than we expected. We had absolutely everything we needed — and then some. ❤️ The van was super clean, very well equipped, comfortable, and really performant. One of the things we loved most was the solar setup. We never needed to plug the van into electricity during our trip because the solar panels and battery system worked amazingly well — somehow, the battery just never seemed to run out! It made everything so easy and gave us a lot of freedom during our trip. All the practical things were also incredibly straightforward. Filling up with fresh water, emptying the grey water, and taking care of all the little camper-van things were really easy once Ivan explained everything to us. He made sure we had everything we needed before setting off, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about us having a good experience. And Ivan himself was was incredibly friendly, kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with. He checked in on us after a few days just to make sure everything was going well — not in an intrusive way at all, but in that really nice way where you can tell someone genuinely cares and wants to know that you’re having a good time. 🥰 We had quite a few questions along the way because there’s naturally a lot of information to remember when you first get a camper van, and every time we messaged him, he replied super quickly and was incredibly helpful. He also gave us great recommendations about places to visit and where to go, which made the whole trip even better. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The van was amazing, everything was easy and well thought-out, and Ivan was such a lovely host. If you’re planning a camper van trip along the north coast of Spain, we would absolutely recommend renting from Ivan. You’ll be in very good hands! We would 100% do it again. 🚐☀️❤️

Our hire experience was very smooth, the vehicle was exactly as described and the little extras provided by Jackeline & Juan made us feel welcomed & made the first day or so easier as we got used to van life. J&J were available to answer any questions we had during our trip and though we didn’t speak each other’s native languages we managed perfectly to communicate with AI & the instructive videos provided. Collection & return were easy. All in all a fabulous experience, one we would repeat and highly recommend. 5 Stars all round!
