There’s a certain kind of peace you only find on Long Island’s North Fork. It’s not loud or hectic. It’s that calm moment when sunlight slips through curtains, a salty breeze drifts in, and your only plan for the morning is coffee outside and maybe a walk before breakfast.
That’s exactly what staying at North Fork Cottages & RV Resort in Greenport, NY feels like. Time slows down just enough for you to remember how life is supposed to feel.
