Tours to NYC - 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?

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 $74 for adults and $54 for those under the age of 15. Highlights of the tour include the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, Intrepid Aircraft Carrier, Wall Street, South Street Seaport, Empire State Building, Times Square, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center and much more.

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.
