The Top Camp Sites in New Jersey Private Campgrounds
Information on the top private New Jersey camp sites and resorts that are open to the public and offer a wide variety of scenery, facilities, and nearby attractions for the family with kids. Many of the campgrounds provide opportunities for the more serious nature enthusiast who wants to get out and experience the wilderness.
Private camp sites, although more expensive that State Parks, offer many additional family recreational activities, and for people who enjoy a beer or glass of wine with their meal, they usually do not have restrictions on moderate alcohol use. However, that does not mean that they will allow a large group with a keg party.
Note: While rules may vary by campground, (it is suggested you discuss this with the campground) these rules are likely to be enforced by most private campgrounds Quiet hours from 11:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. with no loud music and fires out by 12:30am. All campers need to be at their campsites by 11pm. No visitors will be admitted after 10:00 PM. No alcoholic beverages are to be taken off of your campsite.
