The next time you're planning a trip to do genealogical research in NYC, think camping or RVing in Brooklyn.

Now there's one destination that can accommodate them all: A campground is growing in Floyd Bennett Airfield at the Gateway National Recreation Area in the southern part of the New York City Borough of Brooklyn.
