GuideBe sure to use A LOT of deet spray
Very very secluded. We had a great weekend, but the ticks are crazy in NJ. Even with 100% deet spray, we still had at least 2 on each person.

they are primitive, pet-friendly, hike-in sites with direct access to the Batsto River. The hike in is about a 1/2mile so you need to be conservative with gear but if you plan correctly the peace and quiet is well worth it. Not suggested for the rookie camper!
TravelerRiver front
Hiked in to the Lower Forge camp sites. They are primitive but right on the river with easy access to go for a dip or let the pups go for a swim. We went up on a Friday night and enjoyed being the only campers there. Saturday night was a little crowded and the sites are very close so if you enjoy your peace and quiet in the woods, pick a week night to enjoy!
