When New Jersey campgrounds reopened after 13 months of being closed, we got a little over excited.  We booked two campsites which, along with Scout campouts, made for four straight weekends of camping.  This was our family camping weekend, and we decided to try a campground we’d never been before.  It was a little chilly, but we enjoyed it!

Facilities (campground):

Water: Water spigots at camp

Bathrooms – Flush bathrooms.  Even has showers!
Trash – dumpster
Others:

Camping area (#23)

Lantern hook

Fire ring and picnic table

Playground!

Food protection – no bear boxes (low bear risk).  Store food in car, especially if you don’t want to make friends with skunks or raccoon.

Facilities (each site):

Group campsites – 4 in park, 25 people each

Regular campsites – 54 tent and trailer sites

Cabins – 18 cabins

Seasons: All four seasons?  Not listed.

Other tips:

As with all sites in the New Jersey State Parks – no alcohol is allowed.  They can and will write tickets.

Some sites are near water.  Everyone can walk over to a viewing area by the playground:

Positives – Sites close to the trails and lake.

Negatives – Like many New Jersey campgrounds, the sites can be very close together.

Nearby trails and things to see:

The Parvin Lake Trail goes right through the campground.  There are also other nice trails in the park.  Park also has a swimming area with lifeguards during the Summer.  Canoeing and kayaking can be done on the lake.

Experiences at the campground?  Helpful hints for folks?  Please leave them in the comments for folks to see, or e-mail them to southjerseytrails@gmail.com and we’ll tack them onto the bottom here!

Just a man, his five small children, and the need to hike every single trail in South Jersey, maybe.
