As mentioned above, Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn is the closest, though it sounds a little rough around the edges. See the recent article at the NYTimes site for more details: http://tinyurl.com/35ddz3p
Also farther afield, but with very nice campground is Clarence Fahnestock State Park, up the Hudson near Cold Spring. This is probably a good 5-6 hour ride, but I think you can do a lot of it off road on rail trails. Try Google's new bicycle directions as a starting point. It definitely routes a good portion of the way off roads. You could also take Metro North trains part of the way up the Hudson and ride from there. And taking your bike on Metro North are pretty easy to do. Just see their website for a few restrictions. I've camped at both Harriman and Fahnestock and both are very nice. Haven't biked to either, but I'm hoping to this summer.
