About
State Park
Welcome to Swartswood State Park Campground, nestled near Swartswood, NJ. This place is a solid choice for anyone looking to escape into nature from April 1 to October 31. The campground offers a mix of tent, RV, cabin, glamping, and yurt accommodations, so there's something for everyone.
One of the standout features here is the lake. While swimming might be hit or miss depending on lifeguard availability, the lake is perfect for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. Rentals are available if you didn't bring your own gear. The lake area also has some great spots to just kick back and relax.
The campsites themselves are pretty well-equipped. Each site comes with a picnic table and fire ring, and the ground is flat enough for tents. If you're looking for a bit more privacy, aim for the sites tucked away in the woods. Just be prepared for a bit of a walk to the bathrooms and water spigots. Speaking of bathrooms, they're clean and come with flush toilets and showers.
For families, there's a playground and plenty of open space for kids to run around. If you're into hiking, there are trails that loop around the lake and through the woods, offering some nice views and a good workout.
Pets are welcome, but make sure to check the specific pet-friendly sites. And yes, you can bring your furry friend along for the adventure.
Overall, Swartswood State Park Campground is a great spot for a weekend getaway or a longer stay. Whether you're here to fish, hike, or just relax by the fire, you'll find what you need. Enjoy your stay!
