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 camping near Frenchtown ranges from basic sites to full-hookup RV parks with 50-amp service. "Dogwood Haven Family Campground is a nice little place just off the Delaware river with basic camping and no frills," notes one visitor. Several RV parks accommodate larger vehicles, including Jugtown Mountain Campsites in Asbury which offers 50-amp electric hookups and water connections but no sewer hookups at individual sites. Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort in Lehighton provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service and can accommodate big rigs on their drive-in sites. Many campgrounds in the region have gravel pads rather than concrete, with Robin Hill Campground in Lenhartsville featuring electric, water and sewer connections for RVs from April through November.
Navigation into some parks requires careful planning due to narrow roads and bridges. "Do NOT come over the Frenchtown bridge. It is WAY too narrow—it's hard to even have two Honda Civics passing—much less any type of RV or TT," warns one camper about accessing Dogwood Haven. Fall camping is popular in Pennsylvania parks like Stonybrook RV Resort, which offers boat-in access in addition to standard drive-in sites. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region—Panther Lake Camping Resort has poor reception with most carriers. Most facilities provide dump stations, though not all sites include sewer hookups. Pet policies differ between parks; Village Scene Park in Hatfield allows pets but prohibits campfires, while Military Park Fort Dix Range 14 Camp offers year-round access with full hookups for RVs only.

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 Frenchtown
Mountainview Campground offers secluded wooded sites near Frenchtown with primitive camping options and some electric/water hookups. Located in the highlands region of New Jersey at approximately 600 feet elevation, this area experiences distinct seasons with vibrant fall foliage displays and summer temperatures typically ranging from 75-85°F. The terrain features rolling hills with a mix of wooded areas and open fields suitable for various camping setups.
What to do
Explore nearby reservoirs: Both Spruce Run and Round Valley Reservoirs are within driving distance of Mountainview Campground. "Close to the Delaware River, Spruce Run Reservoir, and Round Valley Reservoir," notes one camper who appreciates the water recreation options nearby. These reservoirs offer fishing, boating, hiking, swimming and even scuba diving.
Wildlife watching: The wooded campgrounds provide excellent opportunities for wildlife observation. At Mountainview Campground, campers report diverse wildlife encounters. "I've never heard so much wildlife there as I did here. Only shortly after we settled into our tent did we hear foxes fighting right outside our tent, the snorts of deer, and there were bats right above us all night making noise," reports one nature enthusiast.
Biking mountain trails: Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort offers unique downhill biking experiences. "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," explains a reviewer who enjoyed the adventure options. The resort also features disc golf and zipline courses for additional outdoor activities.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South maintains well-kept facilities that campers consistently praise. "Campground was clean, staff was friendly, sites were decent. My kids explored the playground and found it sufficient," writes one visitor. Multiple reviews note the cleanliness of bathrooms and common areas across campgrounds in the region.
Quiet atmosphere: Many campers value the peaceful environment at Little Red Barn Campground. "The primitive sites are very private, friendly staff, clean grounds," states one tent camper. Another adds that "primitive sites are very private" for those seeking seclusion away from RVs and cabins.
Fall camping: Autumn brings spectacular color to the Frenchtown area campgrounds. "We actually only stayed here overnight to just get out and see the autumn colors before winter hit, but man was I impressed. The drive up to this place was so breathtaking the entire way," shares one Mountainview Campground visitor who specifically planned a fall camping trip.
What you should know
Site conditions vary: Ground conditions can change with weather at many campgrounds. At Robin Hill Campground, one camper notes "Our site was almost level but in order to reach the electric connection, we were sloped slightly downhill side-to-side." Another warns about seasonal variations: "Sites are swampy if they've had rain!"
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly throughout the region. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, a camper reports "Cell service is ok. Verizon is 25 down 10 up. Tmobile is unusable." Others mention needing to relocate for better service: "Had to move to a new site to get away from the trees to get starlink connectivity."
Reservation policies: Campgrounds have different booking systems and arrival policies. Mountainview Campground has specific check-in requirements. One visitor explained: "I reserved two nights, but the first night we were not going to be able to arrive until after 9. After talking to them, they would not allow us to come late, but did refund the first night."
Tips for camping with families
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Stonybrook RV Resort offers facilities specifically for families. "Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it. Same with their patio set up around the store," notes one visitor. Another mentions "They do have a pool, but it's not open yet."
Consider playground access: When camping with children, proximity to play areas matters. At Little Red Barn Campground, "There is an outdoor pool which is open seasonally, an arcade, a playground for children, and a catch and release lake for fishing," according to one family camper who appreciated these options.
Evaluate site privacy: Family camping often benefits from more secluded sites. At Mountainview Campground, a camper notes "Picnic tables and fire rings at each site. Fire ring had a grate for cooking. Nice flat area for your tent. Our site was fully private (could not see or hear neighbors)," which provides good separation for families with children.
Tips from RVers
Water pressure awareness: RV parks near Frenchtown, New Jersey often have varying water pressure. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, one RVer cautions: "Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi." This is important information for RVers who may need to use regulators to protect their plumbing systems.
Site leveling challenges: Many rv parks in the Frenchtown region have natural terrain variations. "The site was level with good power and water. Camp was pretty well maintained and very full," notes an RVer at Mountainview Campground. Another mentions that "The landing for the camper was even with gravel and the rest of the site was mostly even."
Hookup configuration: Not all sites offer full hookups. At Mountainview Campground, a visitor explains "Our spot was #27 and pretty spacious. The power station was well intact with 15/20, 30, and 50amp." When staying at RV parks around Frenchtown, New Jersey, confirm what connections are available at your specific site before arrival.
