Traveling to Hyde Park by RV

US Route 9 serves as your main artery through Hyde Park, running parallel to the Hudson River with scenic views throughout the drive. This historic road connects seamlessly with I-84 to the south and the Taconic State Parkway for those approaching from New York City or Connecticut. The route offers gentle curves and well-maintained pavement suitable for any size RV.

Avoid the Taconic during peak foliage season unless you enjoy crawling traffic – Route 9 moves more consistently. Coming from the north, I-87 connects smoothly to Route 9 through several interchange options. The roads here handle RVs well, though some historic district streets have tight turns better avoided with larger rigs.

Fuel up in Poughkeepsie before settling into your campsite, as options thin out in the immediate Hyde Park area. The Stewart's Shop on Route 9 offers diesel and propane fills, plus decent coffee for early morning departures. Hannaford supermarket provides full grocery selection about ten minutes south of most campgrounds, making supply runs straightforward and efficient.
