Overview
Overview
Hither Hills Campground in Montauk, New York places travelers directly on the dramatic eastern tip of Long Island. This coastal destination draws RVers seeking the raw maritime environment of the Atlantic shoreline. Salt air, shifting dunes, and expansive ocean views define the daily atmosphere here, offering an authentic taste of the South Fork of Long Island rather than a manicured resort experience.
Location & Surroundings
Access to the area typically involves navigating montauk highway eastward past Amagansett and East Hampton. The surrounding terrain features a distinct glacial landscape shaped by sandy soils, maritime forests, and coastal bluffs. Weather patterns are heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and Block Island Sound, bringing steady breezes and quick changes from coastal fog to bright sunshine.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details vary by season and sector, visitors should confirm utility availability directly with park management. Campers should prepare by inquiring about hookup types, generator policies, and specific vehicle length limits prior to arrival. Understanding designated site boundaries and vehicle placement rules helps ensure a smooth check-in along the coastal terrain.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The region is rich in maritime history and outdoor recreation. A short drive down the highway leads to the historic montauk point lighthouse standing at the island's edge. Visitors frequently explore the local surf beaches, hiking trails within the adjacent state parklands, and the working fishing harbor where commercial fleets and charter boats dock daily.
Who This Park Is Best For
This location suits self-contained road-trippers and coastal enthusiasts who prioritize dramatic ocean scenery over luxury resort features. Photographers, anglers, and nature lovers find the setting ideal for coastal exploration. Travelers comfortable with open coastal environments and shifting weather patterns will appreciate the rugged charm of the eastern long island setting.

I don’t dare take any more chances. There are too many cockroaches here. Before you leave, make sure to carefully check your personal belongings so you don’t bring any cockroaches home.

📍 Hither Hills Campground in Montauk, New York, offers a unique coastal camping experience within Hither Hills State Park. Situated on a bluff, many sites have stunning ocean views with direct beach access for swimming and fishing. The park provides basic amenities like restrooms and showers. It's a popular spot for exploring the Montauk area and its famous lighthouse. I recommend this location for photography. ★★★★★

We just finished a week there. It was very disappointing! First of all, the general store is still closed. They had a food truck in front, but the food was horrible! They put an egg sandwich on a hamburger roll. Who does that?! It was gross. Secondly, every night, there were drunks partying next to us yelling and laughing really loud until 1:30am. They have no respect for others. I had to get up at 5:30am for a meet-up, so thanks to these inconsiderate drunks, I only got 4 hours of sleep. I called the park police two nights in a row and they never showed up. They tell you to shut your generator off 1 minute after 11am but apparently you can yell and scream all night. I hate how they selectively enforce rules. I used to love camping here but Kathy Hochul has destroyed this once great park.

The absolute best campground. My boyfriend & I love MTK & always come to Hither Hills. The views are beautiful, especially the tent-only campsite. The staff do a great job at keeping the bathrooms & other facilities clean.

Family has been staying here for years! Personally I’d love to see some upgrades to the sites in terms of electric service. Be aware cell phone service was minimal for Verizon users. They do keep the bathrooms and facilities clean. The beach access is great! They have a put a blue mat path down to the beach which makes access so much easier! We’ll be back again!
