Rough for Tent Camping
Much more suited to RV Camping, but not terrible for a couple nights of tent camping
Riverside campground
Have been coming to Camp Carr for nearly 50 years. All the sites are along the river so the view and peaceful sound of the river are wonderful. Summer camping is nice but it is owned and operated by the YMCA so there is summer day camp held Monday - Friday. Right now during Covid the restrooms are not available so they do not allow tent camping. You must have a trailer with your own restroom and shower. Sites are water and 30 amp electric only no sewer so I recommend bringing your own portable dump tank. They have a dump station for use when leaving. Sites are clean and well maintained. They offer firewood for sale and proceeds go towards camp scholarships. We live close by and come as often as we can. One other tip we prefer even numbered sites as the hook ups for odd number are one the front side of the trailer unless the site is long enough to pull into or you have a motor home.
Scenic Riverside campsites
I live 15 miles from this campground and have paddled by it over 50 times. Recently purchased a used popup camper and needed a local campground to become familiar with setting it up. Stayed there twice this year. Both times were for a single mid week evening. Both times it was a positive experience. Excellent view of the South Branch and extremely relaxing. Only negative was the rest rooms closed sometime soon after the day camps let out. That was an unwelcome surprise.
Fun stay for the family
2nd timers here with a popup. We’re total newbs but we had a great time parked next to the raritan river. Spot 21 was open on the one side since they weren’t allowing tents during Covid. Typically the pool would be open as well if it weren’t for Covid. Windy country roads to bike on with the family and a nearby hiking trail. A good time; I would come back again.
