Tours to New York City from Black Bear Campground! |
||
|
||
Black Bear Campground is 46 miles Northwest of Times Square. From mid-May to the end of October, we have guided tours direct from the campground. The tours leave the campground at about 8:00AM and return about 6:00PM. You are accompanied on the tour by a New York City licensed guide. Guided tours require advanced reservations. The cost for the tour is $85 for adults and $65 for children 12 and younger. Highlights of the tour include the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Ground Zero, Theatre District, Wall Street, Empire State Building, Times Square, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center and much more. Our tour is offered by an independent tour operator not affiliated with Black Bear Campground. Tours are scheduled rain or shine with a minimum of 6 adults. The tour operator reserves the right to cancel any tour, and change, alter or modify the itinerary as conditions may warrant. All prices are subject to change without notice. Tour prices include admission fees. Gratuities not included. Manhattan, one of five boroughs making up New York City, is only 2 miles wide at its widest point and just 10 miles long. Nowhere else in America is so much history, culture, entertainment, finance and diversity crammed into such a small area. Beside the many usual things to see and do in the City are many places of which most people are unaware. Did you know that New York City was the first capital of the United States of America, or that the majority of Americans either live in New York City or had ancestors who came to America by way of New York City’s Ellis Island? For those who want to tour New York City on their own, we are not far from the commuter railroad that stops near the Empire State Building and Ground Zero. From there you can use public transportation to go to the various sites. Once in the city you can also take Gray Line Tours or Circle Line boat tours. One can also drive into Manhattan. Tolls and parking are expensive, and roads are very congested on weekdays from 6:00AM to 7:00PM. For these reasons, we do not recommend driving into the City unless you want to see a special event such as an evening Broadway Show or a night ballgame in Yankee or Shea Stadiums, and you do not mind driving in heavy traffic. |

The oldest race track in America and the Hall of Fame of the Trotter are located in Goshen, just 6 miles from Black Bear Campground. The track is operational for a short time in July, and the museum is open all year. It is state-of-the-art, interactive and exciting. Ten miles from the campground is Brotherhood Winery, the oldest winery in America, with wine tasting and many special events. Also ten miles from the campground is Museum Village, a restored village from 1850. There you will see how Americans lived in the olden days, with demonstrations in making candles, soap and brooms. You will visit an old pharmacy, general store, blacksmith shop, one room schoolhouse, stockade and many other buildings. During the summer, there are many special events, such as Civil War battle re-enactments. Eleven miles from the campground is Sugar Loaf Art & Crafts Village, where you can watch craftsmen make the high quality artifacts which are for sale in the galleries. Fifteen miles from the campground is Woodbury Common, the largest concentration of premium factory outlet stores in the United States, with 220 separate stores. Almost every premium brand has an outlet store at Woodbury, whether it be designer clothing, jewelry, luggage, kitchenware, home furnishings, toys, linens, books, electronics and more. People come from all over the world to shop at Woodbury Common. Eighteen miles from the campground is the Orange County Choppers workshop and showroom. See them at work. Orange County Choppers also has a store at Woodbury Premium Outlets. Insurance restrictions prohibit Black Bear Campground from having anyone ride a motorcycle or similar vehicle within the campground. Twenty-three miles from the campground is the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Next to it is the Storm King Art Center, with over 400 acres of outdoor statuary. There are many other interesting but less well known attractions nearby, many of which are included in the extensive brochure collection which we maintain at the campground store. There are many annual special events nearby like the Orange County Fair (in July), the New York Renaissance Faire (August to mid-September), Stock Car races at the Fairgrounds and more. For those who like hiking, the campground is less than 15 miles from the Appalachian Trail. The best nearby fishing is at Greenwood Lake, an 8 mile long lake located just one mile from the Appalachian Trail. There are more than a dozen golf courses which are open to the public and within a half hour’s ride. Horseback riding is nearby. For those who like fresh fruits and vegetables, there are farmers markets and “pick your own” farms open from June to the late fall. October is a lovely time of the year with the changing of the color of the leaves. |
