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!

Several RV parks near Clinton offer full hookup options with varying site dimensions. Mountain Vista Campground provides gravel sites with ample room for larger rigs, including numerous pull-through sites in wooded surroundings. "Beautiful Campground. Clean. Gravel sites. Fire ring and picnic table. All sites have ample room. Lots of pull through for bigger rigs," noted one camper. Thousand Trails Scotrun operates year-round with big-rig friendly sites featuring electric, sewer, and water hookups. Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort accommodates RVs with spacious sites, though some areas have sandy terrain that can become messy after rain.
Navigation to certain campgrounds requires careful planning, particularly for larger motorhomes. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, several parks have challenging access points with tight turns and narrow bridges. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with Panther Lake Camping Resort reporting spotty coverage across all carriers. Most RV parks in the area offer dump stations, though availability of 50-amp service is inconsistent. During peak seasons, especially fall foliage viewing periods, advance reservations are essential as parks fill quickly. Pet-friendly sites are common, though some parks designate specific loops or areas for travelers with animals.

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.

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 Clinton
Cabin and RV camping near Clinton, New Jersey offers convenient access to both natural landscapes and urban attractions. Located in Hunterdon County at approximately 200 feet above sea level, the area experiences distinct seasonal changes with humid summers and moderately cold winters. Seasonal rainfall can affect campground conditions, particularly at sites with gravel or sandy terrain.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Stonybrook RV Resort, campers can enjoy a stocked pond. "There is a pond for fishing however we didn't have any luck. It had a lot of pond scum and there were a lot of duck families around," notes one reviewer who appreciates the natural setting despite limited catches.
Mountain biking adventures: Several campgrounds provide easy access to trails. "If you choose adventure this is the place for you, 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 visitor to Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort.
Urban exploration: For campers wanting to visit New York City, Jersey City provides a convenient base. "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," shares a camper at Liberty Harbor RV Park.
What campers like
Pool facilities: Multiple campgrounds offer swimming options during warmer months. "The pool was warm, clean and enjoyable. I liked how the kid area wrapped around and connected to the deeper end," reports a visitor at Robin Hill Campground.
Level sites: Finding flat parking for RVs remains important to many campers. "Nice campground, very very level site. But beyond the pool there wasn't much to do," comments a Stonybrook RV Resort visitor who appreciated the practical setup despite limited activities.
Convenience to attractions: Some campgrounds offer strategic locations for exploring. "This is all about location. The closest RV park to NYC," states a Liberty Harbor RV Park visitor who valued the urban accessibility.
What you should know
Water pressure concerns: Some campgrounds experience utility issues. At Jugtown Mountain Campsites, a camper reported: "My stay was nice, it was quiet, however there was some issue with the water pressure during the daytime. Only had 1psi of water pressure. Couldn't take a shower or wash dishes."
Site conditions after rain: Weather can significantly impact camping comfort. "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site," warns a Robin Hill Campground visitor who faced challenging conditions.
Variable cellular coverage: Communication options vary widely. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, a camper noted: "Cell service is awful for AT&T and our T-Mobile gateway. Had to move to a new site to get away from the trees to get starlink connectivity."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: When camping with children, recreation facilities matter. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, a family mentioned: "My kids explored the playground and found it sufficient," indicating basic play options are available.
Seasonal activities: Some campgrounds offer organized events during peak times. "The activity director organized a nice continental breakfast, free chair massages, and raffled off manicure and pedicures. They had an art activity for the children, BINGO on Friday night, and a live band on Saturday night," reports a Robin Hill visitor.
Swimming options: Pools provide essential summer recreation. "The camp is nice, sites are long but narrow. Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast," notes a Timothy Lake South camper who found the utilities particularly impressive.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: At Village Scene Park, RVers should be aware of the layout. "This is a hodge-podge of different living accommodations, and when we first arrived, I have to admit, I was very confused. Is this a 55+ retirement community? Yes, kind of. Trailer home park? Well, sort of."
Hookup positioning: Some campsites have challenging utility arrangements. At Robin Hill Campground, a camper noted: "Not sure about other sites but ours had a big 'tank' that was used for sewer hookup instead of group connection as did all the sites around us."
Navigation challenges: RV camping near Clinton, New Jersey requires careful driving in certain areas. "The area itself was under a ton of construction when we drove in, which meant for difficult to navigate roads and we barely squeezed by larger trucks who were also in the roadways," shared a Liberty Harbor visitor about their approach.
