What a great place. So unique! Love the view, and a great experience! There are no hook ups, so be prepared but if you are looking for the dispersed camping experience you have found it. What a gem!

RV campgrounds near Annandale cover a wide range of setups, from full-hookup urban parks to wooded sites with 50-amp service, with Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City offering 90 sites with electric hookups, water, and sanitary dump facilities. Village Scene Park in Hatfield features full hookups including 50-amp service, sewer connections, and big rig access on year-round sites. Thousand Trails Scotrun in Pennsylvania accommodates larger RVs with electric, water, and sewer hookups, while Stonybrook RV Resort provides spacious sites with 50-amp service for larger motorhome setups. Most parks maintain gravel pads with varying degrees of levelness and spacing between sites. "The sites are nicely wooded, very well spaced, fairly level with 50A service and water hookup. Although the water spigots were shared between sites, they provide hose caddies that should reach most RV hookups," noted one visitor.
Navigation to several mountain RV parks requires careful planning due to narrow access roads and tight turns. A camper warned, "Don't come over the Frenchtown bridge. It is WAY too narrow - it's hard to even have 2 Honda Civics passing, much less any type of RV or TT." Cell service varies significantly across the region, with some parks offering WiFi only near office areas. Dump stations are available at most locations, though some parks like NWS Earle RV Park have limited bathroom facilities with just one male and one female stall each. Pet-friendly sites are common throughout the area, but seasonal availability differs - several parks operate only from spring through fall, particularly those at higher elevations. During peak summer and fall foliage seasons, advance reservations are essential as popular RV campsites fill quickly.

Peaceful State Park Camping in the Fall
This is a large campground with a wide array of campsites so be careful attention when you book online, especially if you have a pet because some sites are not pet-friendly. Some are 50-amp full hook-up and some are primitive with no hook-ups.
There is a nice nature center with interesting interpretive exhibits and lots of informational brochures including ones about the hiking trails, bears, scat and tracks of local animals, and fishing. Our site was at the edge of the campground and backed up to Route 534 which resulted in a bit of road noise at our site. Other than the road noise the campground was pretty quiet and was not very crowded when we camped there in October.
Not all sites are level and we happened to book one that was not and we had to live with a slant for our stay. The roads in the park are gravel/dirt and since it rained the day we arrived the roads were a muddy mess which made the roads slippery and there were lots of potholes. Unfortunately, some campers were disrespectful and left bags of trash in the fire pit and scattered around their site which was totally unnecessary because there were dumpsters plenty of dumpsters in the campground. Since we camped at Hickory Run late in the season, there were no camp hosts and the trash never got picked up.
The campground is open from mid-April to mid-December; however, the shower facilities and dump station are not available after the third week of October so plan accordingly. We really like the hiking trails which are of varying degrees of difficulty and lengths. The Hawk Falls is a nice easy walk (1.4 miles round-trip) to a waterfall but is extremely popular so don’t think you will be admiring the falls alone. The parking lot at this trail head fills up fast so you better get there early if you want to get a spot.
You can enter the park from two different directions. If you have a big-rig, it is best to approach from the east side. We made the mistake of coming in from the west side as we dropped down from I-80 and came down 534 and the road was really windy with no shoulder. Luckily, there was very little traffic so we could go 10 mph and safely navigate the roads.
Be aware alcohol is not allowed in PA state parks. This park does allow hunting in certain sections of the park. The no-hunting areas are clearly marked with white no hunting signs on trees and you can also pick up a brochure from the office that designates hunting and no-hunting sections.

Upscale Parking Paradise at This Home Fixer-Upper
Located just off US Route 1 in the upscale Princeton area, this spacious Lowe's serves up a surprisingly pleasant patch of pavement for weary road warriors looking to catch some shut-eye. Set back roughly 80 yards from the highway, this big blue home improvement retailer offers a generously sized parking lot with relatively manageable traffic, good maneuverability and a quieter atmosphere than you might expect from such a busy suburban retail corridor. The western and southern edges of the lot are particularly appealing for an overnight stay, and with Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several other retailers nearby, convenience certainly isn't in short supply. Better yet, the store management was friendly and accommodating when we called ahead to arrange our overnight visit.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spacious, paved parking lot with plenty of room to maneuver larger rigs; (2) Convenient access to US Route 1 and nearby I-95; (3) Western and southern parking areas offer quieter spots away from the busiest customer traffic; (4) Excellent nearby conveniences, including Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several dining options; and (5) Friendly store management that welcomed our overnight stay, plus surprisingly good opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) Some daytime retail traffic and occasional road noise, although nothing terribly disruptive; (2) No RV hookups, dump station or dedicated overnight camping facilities; (3) Parking areas closest to the store can become crowded during business hours; (4) Limited greenery and little of the scenery you'd expect from a traditional campground; and (5) While the overnight experience was excellent, this is still a commercial parking lot rather than a destination for an extended stay.
Happy Overnighting!

The best views
This is a hidden gem, as close to dispersed camping you can get with dirt, gravel roads, large stone fire pits, a amazing views with the added benefit of a five gallon jug of non potable water and very clean port-a-potties. The owner regularly patrols the site and makes sure everything is okay.
Edwin R.ScoutCheesequake State Park Campground
Park uses county cops to shut down park by 9pm.
On Friday, September 4, 2026, I rented a trailer and brought my family to Cheesequake State Park to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary over the extended Labor Day weekend. Around 9:20 PM—well before the park's designated 10:00 PM quiet hours—we were sitting inside our canopy, playing Jenga, and listening to low background music. Two officers from the Matawan Police Department approached our campsite. They were polite and courteous, simply offering a standard reminder to wrap things up by 10:00 PM. Before they could leave, however, a third, senior officer intervened. Wanting to"show them how it's done," he made the two polite officers return and stand by to watch as he demonstrated how to aggressively harass campers. Flashlight in hand, the senior officer approached with an immediate hostile attitude, treating us like criminals as he demanded to know who rented the site. He began reiterating rules and claimed we had too many vehicles. We had three cars, one belonging to my brother-in-law's girlfriend, who was visiting with her daughter. She had paid the$10 visitor fee at the main office and was instructed by staff to obtain the gate access code from us, the primary renters, if she got locked in. No staff member ever informed her of an 8:00 PM visitor departure deadline, leading us to reasonably assume visitors were permitted until quiet hours began at 10:00 PM. The officer rudely snapped that she had been given wrong information. The senior officer then used profanity in front of three small children, aggressively telling her to ("get her shit and get the fuck out!") in that manner or use profanity, the officer went from hostile to furious. He angrily declared that these were official violations and threatened that he could be issuing us tickets instead. Desperately searching for anything and everything to throw at us, he demanded that we turn off our idling car—which was supplying power to our campsite—and instructed us to make sure the campfire was doused before shutting down for the night. He then proceeded to shine his flashlight into our private setup—including our canopy, tents, and the inside of our trailer—searching for any other possible violation while the two polite officers were forced to watch. What was supposed to be a special 10th wedding anniversary celebration with my family was completely ruined by a senior officer misusing his authority to put on an unnecessary display of intimidation. Worse than just ruining our night, he spent that evening teaching those two police officers how to be bad cops. He corrupted two officers in real time, demonstrating firsthand exactly why most people have lost faith in the police force. The next day we was ready for them. We turned off our lights and quietly by the fire while they went next door to harass an asian family that had just set up camp and had their leds lights on.

Simple, peaceful FHU
We stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.

Beautiful forest
Gorgeous forested area in the Poconos. We stayed on the Rattlesnake Loop which was lovely. Sites not super private but most nestled in trees. The only bummer was that that Campground Loop didn’t have any direct links to the trail network and was far from it. The other Campground Loop was closer to trails and office. Would return!

Stephens State Park Campground
Great last min getaway
Booked the day before—even on the holiday weekend! Just 1.5 hours outside of NYC, site was a bit close to the neighbors (fire pit was very far back and basically in the neighbors’ campsite, but we put up a “privacy clothesline” and hung a tarp over it for a bit of extra coverage.
The staff was friendly and helpful, they said it was the busiest they’ve seen the campground all year (there were lots of large groups but everyone seemed to settle down by 9:30pm
Poison ivy was EVERYWHERE at our site so make sure to stick to the open areas and the paths. Lots of families around, we felt very safe Bathrooms were fine—it was my impression they’re usually cleaner but the high traffic of the weekend left a bit to be desired, (lots of families around=dirty diapers in the bathroom trash bin) but it’s camping! I’m not gonna argue w a flushing toilet!
Guide to Annandale
RV parks near Annandale, New Jersey provide access to both mountain and metropolitan experiences within the Mid-Atlantic region. Located in Hunterdon County at approximately 500 feet above sea level, Annandale sits within rolling hills that transition between the Delaware River Valley and the higher ridges of western New Jersey. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing with occasional snow accumulation, requiring RVers to prepare for seasonal campground closures or limited services from November through March.
What to do
Statue of Liberty access: Liberty Harbor RV Park offers unparalleled proximity to New York landmarks. "There is a ferry 100-yards away that takes you to Wall Street M-F. There is a great market about 1/4 of a mile away, and the path that can take you to WTC or 33rd Street area is only a mile away," notes a camper at Liberty Harbor RV Park.
Mountain biking adventures: Blue Mountain Resort transforms from winter ski location to summer adventure destination. "Ride the ski lifts up to the top of the mountain then you get to bike down it, they have rental bikes available or bring your own. You can also Zip line or swing through the trees if you would rather," explains a visitor at Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort.
Historical exploration: Visit nearby historical sites within 30 minutes of most campgrounds. "For history buffs, check out nearby Morgan Log House, which has some nice historical significance and is super close to VSP," suggests a camper about the attractions near Village Scene Park.
What campers like
Proximity to Philadelphia: Many campgrounds serve as convenient bases for city exploration. "VSP's location is great for those wanting to access some of the bigger, better things in Philly proper, without having to actually stay in the city. Nearby there's a SEPTA Doylestown/Landsdale regional rail line stop that will pretty much give you all of the direct access to the city without having to bother with driving," explains a reviewer at Village Scene Park.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention facility quality at better parks. "The laundry area and shower rooms are beautiful and clean," notes a visitor at Stonybrook RV Resort. Another camper adds, "Shower/bathrooms are the best I've ever seen. Has a heated pool and playground, laundry facilities and a small game."
Fall season camping: Autumn provides unique camping experiences in the region. "We came in at end of season, so pretty much everything seems closed. But, it's a beautiful campground and the part of PA is great too," shares a visitor at Thousand Trails Scotrun during fall foliage season.
What you should know
Varying site layouts: Site configurations differ dramatically between parks. "Sites are kinda close together but it was fairly quiet even though it was full," notes a visitor at Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South. Another mentions, "The sites were nice and level side to side. Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it."
Cell service challenges: Several campgrounds experience connectivity issues. "A big HOWEVER, though: the cell service for most providers is practically non-existent. I understand this is not the park's fault and some would say that this is 'real' camping-- try telling that to the two millennials that were staying with us," warns a camper about Timothy Lake South. Another reports "Cell service is ok. Verizon is 25 down 10 up. Tmobile is unusable."
Road access limitations: Some mountain campgrounds have difficult approach routes. "We stayed here for 3 nights and thought well of the park... There is nothing to do in the immediate area, but we were there to use the bike trails and bop around Jim Thorpe…about 25 minutes away via pretty country roads," explains a Stonybrook RV Resort visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Check campground size: Family-friendly facilities vary widely across the region. "Simple Campground - nice lay out albeit as with many campgrounds, the spaces are quite close together," notes a Timothy Lake South camper. Another visitor reports "Campground was clean, staff was friendly, sites were decent. My kids explored the playground and found it sufficient."
Verify bathroom access: Limited bathroom facilities can challenge families with children. At Military Park Fort Dix Range 14 Camp, a visitor explains: "Clean and gravel. Lots of military training nearby but overall a quiet stay. On the beaten path but a bit further into the trees so you're not hearing so much road noise."
Scout the recreation options: Entertainment options range from minimal to extensive. "There's a nice playground and a GaGa pit. There's lots of space to walk your dog on leash but no dog park," notes a Stonybrook visitor. At Mountain Top RV Park, a camper shares, "They have a small playground that would be better suited for older children, and there's also a nice lounge room with games, a pool table, a tv and puzzles/board games."
Tips from RVers
Assess site size requirements: Large rigs need special consideration at many Annandale area rv parks. "Only real activities here for kids are pool and shuffleboard. Very quite here which I hear is opposite from the North park right up the road. Staff is nice. Would come back," reports a Timothy Lake South visitor.
Plan for site layout challenges: Hookup positioning affects setup. "Power is at the far back & sewage is in the middle (left to right). A longer camper will be parked over the sewage connection," warns an RVer at NWS Earle RV Park.
Watch for flooding in some areas: Terrain affects site conditions during rain. "If you're booking, it may be best to book on the upper levels because the lower area where we were did flood pretty bad a couple times when there was a lot of rain," advises a Mountain Top RV Park visitor.
