Camp Rockaway

Wait until the boutique hotels open up at Jacob Riis. You’re paying for an overpriced tent

Had an amazing stay at Camp Rockaway: great location, amenities (communal fire, morning coffee, and hot showers) and helpful staff. Would 100% return & recommend!

What a great way to get off the grid just 40 minutes away from the city to get some peace and quiet. Safe and secure location, literally just steps from the beach. The tents are top notch, solar powered lights and fans, lots of headroom to move around in, with comfortable beds with soft sheets and Pendleton blankets if you need an extra layer for warmth. There's a fire pit/grill if you'd like to prepare food for yourself, or just take a walk to the vendors nearby for some quick eats. And the outdoor shower! Awesome design, with warm water for you to rinse off in privacy. The crew is super friendly and very informative. Great vibes all around. We'll definitely be back!

A diamond in the rough. Its nice to know that serene places like this exist in our hectic city. The staff was welcoming and my daughter loved it, which is what matters most! I suggest to bring your own food and do not rely on the beach food stores, as the hours are not camper friendly.

Feels a little like camping in an abandoned prison due to the turn of the century building - lovely staff, great tents, right on the beach, and the s’mores kits they sell were awesome!
