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 famous skyline of New York City, the state rewards road trippers with an extraordinary range of landscapes. The 280-kilometre drive from Albany to Niagara Falls takes you through the rolling Mohawk Valley, past the Finger Lakes wine region, and on to one of the world's most powerful waterfalls. Head north and the 240-kilometre route from Syracuse to Lake Placid climbs into the High Peaks, where 46 summits rise above 1,200 metres. The Catskill Mountains, the Hudson Valley's historic estates, and the Thousand Islands archipelago on the St Lawrence River all add variety to any itinerary. Roads across the state are generally well maintained and suited to larger vehicles, though mountain routes in the Adirondacks and Catskills call for a little extra care on tighter bends. With Yescapa, you hire your campervan or motorhome directly from local owners spread right across New York State — from the Hudson Valley to the shores of Lake Erie — so you can pick up close to where your adventure begins and choose the vehicle that fits your plans perfectly.

Best time to visit

Late May to October is the prime window for a campervan trip through New York State. Summer brings warm days ideal for the Finger Lakes and Adirondack trails, while autumn — especially late September and October — delivers some of the most spectacular fall foliage in North America. The Adirondack Balloon Festival in Glens Falls each September and the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Festival in early September are well worth timing your route around. Campsite availability is widest from June to mid-September, so book early for peak summer weekends. With Yescapa, peer-to-peer pricing often means better value than traditional hire, particularly outside July and August when more owners list their vehicles.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in New York State

New York State's major motorways — the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90) and Interstate 87 — are toll roads. You can pay tolls electronically via E-ZPass or by post with Tolls by Mail. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes are typically 55 mph (89 km/h) on most highways, while lighter campervans may follow the standard 65 mph limit on designated stretches. Rest areas with fuel, food, and parking for larger vehicles appear regularly along the Thruway. Mountain routes in the Adirondacks and Catskills feature steeper gradients and tighter curves, so allow extra time and use lower gears on descents.

The hire experience was excellent throughout. The owners were very friendly, accommodating and easy to deal with. We had such a good trip. The van is really well looked after and a pleasure to drive. The owners helped with anything we were unsure of and even gave us tips on where to eat and park up. We would definitely hire through these owners again.

We hired Trina for 5 nights earlier this July. My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time on the island. Jandro was incredibly helpful, always on hand before and during the trip to answer any questions which really helped us navigate the island and enjoy our trip. The vehicle was fantastic, an incredible experience to drive. All the amenities were brilliant as well. I would highly recommend using Jandro and one of his vans for a fantastic Mallorca experience!

5 / 5

Communication with the owner was great, van was immaculate, heaps of choice, love the peer to peer concept. Easy to add an extra driver and ID checks were very thorough but straightforward. Changing dates wasn't so easy, the owner was great, but the process at the back end took some manual effort. Teething problems, not a big deal. Main area that needs improving (for me anyway) is the deposit. There was a single line in a table stating Deposit: cash or transfer, that I hadn't seen. The owner asked for the cash or a transfer when we were at the car, which he explained was normal process, but Yescapa could have explained beforehand. I transferred €2000 directly to the owner, which didn't feel comfortable. I had expected this would all be done via Yescapa. I ended up losing €45 in exchange rate variations + fees as well, the owner's bank had challenges which meant it to 5 days to get a lot of cash back. It was lucky we had that amount at hand. I would use Yescapa again. I hope they can tidy up and improve the processes though.
