One of the most beautiful campgrounds we have visited. The woods, hiking and nature are the primary draws for this campground. However, they up their game with nicely paved roads and camp sites. The park provides clean water and nice electric pedestals at each site. The bath house was clean and bug free. The camp host was nice as well. Food, gas and other essentials are 4 miles away. I like the way the park does not have street lights, thus allowing for star viewing. Highly recommend this campground.

Nice quiet park, fire rings only in back loop, sites are large enough to function easily, very wooded. Hiking, biking and a small lake just a few minutes away. Would stay again.

This campground is a hidden gem. Having grown up in northern NJ I would have never believed a campground existed this close to busy Bergen county. All the sites are wooded and very spacious. We had a 30 amp hookup plus a water connection which was great as most state parks in PA only have electric hook ups at sites. We loved how the fire pit was situated behind the asphalt pad under the trees. Also the campground is small with around 20 sites total so it will not get crowded or loud even when full as it was when we stayed over memorial day weekend. Highly recommend staying here if in the area!

This is a well maintained public park with a few Electric/Water sites available for booking during the camping season. Book early for weekends and holiday times. No sewer but dump station onsite. Hiking trails onsite and easy access to local restaurants, grocery and beautiful Lake Hopatcong. Closest proximity to NYC make this a real gem.

Where can I find hiking maps?

duane Nelson | Nov 25, 2019
Bob Sisco | Nov 26, 2019

Online is best, although some paper trail maps at be available on site. In any case, it is one of the best camping sites in the Northeast.
