📍 Campground #17: Skyline RV Park | Brooklyn, NY
Would you haul a 43-foot fifth wheel into Brooklyn? We did. Would we do it again? Hell yes. 😂
A parking lot with skyline views & the only spot we found in Brooklyn or Manhattan that could fit us. Getting there involved conflicting navigation, a low-clearance scare, our camper door opening on the highway, and a kind trucker helping us back up. Quite the welcome.
I was away the first few days while John & the girls enjoyed giant pizzas, cousin sleepovers, Industry City, dance classes & the ninja playground, where Lowina finally conquered the warp wall!
Back together, we filled our days with ferries, Statue of Liberty views, playgrounds, Halloween hair & catching up with friends.
Broadway was a highlight: last-minute MJ tickets, meeting all three Michaels, Carmine’s with Auntie Amy & Nonjabulo, then Wicked for Lowina & me while John took Lizzie for scooters & ice cream. Two shows in one day! 🎭
We squeezed in DUMBO’s carousel & sunset views, our first in-person meetup with Jiemi from Nori, and another cousin sleepover while Lizzie got a date with us at Planet Hollywood & Aladdin with Sherri Shepherd.
Our last full day brought bagels, trunk-or-treat, Halloween dancing, showing family the camper & dinner in Greenpoint.
Leaving came with plenty of anxiety & a scrape to the camper and ladder on the exit gate. Thankfully, minimal damage and beautiful views crossing the George Washington Bridge into New Jersey as we finally exhaled.
A Brooklyn parking lot became home for our longest stay yet plus family time, city adventures & memories we’ll never forget.
Would you take your camper into NYC, or leave this adventure to us crazies? 🚐🤪
