How to get there?

Car pooling is the most affordable way to get to Hudson, NY. It’s a 2 hour drive from NYC, and with 4-5 people to a car and one tank of gas, you are here cheap and fast! Don’t have a car? Sign up for Zip Car.

Train is the funnest way to travel to Hudson, NY. It’s 2 hours from Penn Station, train runs along the beautiful river, has a snack car, and the Basilica is conveniently located 400 feet south of the Hudson NY Amtrak station. However, the trains sell out quickly and get expensive as availability runs out, so you must book ASAP. Train tickets are 100% refundable, better to be safe than sorry – Book now!

Shuttle service and information for Campers! Pick up your passes starting at 2pm today at Basilica Hudson. Camping shuttle starts running at 3pm with pickup at Basilica, will get you to Meadowgreens around 3:30, and will run about every hour after that, round trip, so you’ll have time to spare before doors open at 6pm. Carpooling or taking the shuttle is encouraged for those without cars and to keep our planet greener!
