RV sites near High Bridge, New Jersey range from military facilities to seasonal resorts within 40 miles of town. The region has varied terrain with elevations between 300-1200 feet and moderate summer temperatures averaging 85°F. Many campgrounds experience high occupancy during fall foliage season when temperatures drop to 40-65°F, with limited availability for unplanned stays.
What to do
Explore riverside activities: At Tri-State RV Park, campers can access the Delaware River directly from the campground. "This is a point to point camp on the freeway. Easy on and off on I 84. Safe, clean, and right on the Delaware River," notes one reviewer. The park serves as a convenient base for water activities.
Visit adventure parks: Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort offers mountain biking, zip lining, and disc golf on-site. A camper shares, "Staff was nice & showed us to our campground, hauled our firewood, and checked in regularly to make sure we didn't need anything... There were endless activities from hiking to mountain biking."
Take day trips to NYC: Liberty Harbor RV Park provides direct access to Manhattan via nearby public transportation. "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," explains one visitor.
What campers like
Heated winter facilities: Stonybrook RV Resort maintains year-round operations with heated facilities. "We stayed here during the winter January-February no activities going on. It does offer beautiful views especially covered in snow. Has a heated pool and playground, laundry facilities and a small game. Shower/bathrooms are the best I've ever seen," writes one winter camper.
Peaceful off-season camping: Blue Mountain RV Resort offers a different experience depending on the season. "We visited in fall so we had the entire place to ourselves," mentions one camper. This pattern of quieter off-season camping appears across multiple area campgrounds.
Clean, well-maintained facilities: Liberty Harbor earns praise for its practical amenities despite its urban setting. "The bath house was above average and heated. The laundry was helpful and was acceptable. Having a view of Lady Liberty out your window is priceless," notes one RVer, highlighting the practical benefits alongside unique location advantages.
What you should know
Limited cell service in some areas: Many campgrounds in the wooded Pocono Mountains area have connectivity challenges. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, a camper reports: "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."
Highway noise considerations: Some convenient campgrounds sacrifice peace for accessibility. At Tri-State RV Park, reviewers note: "Located just off the highway so lots of vehicle noise 24/7. Sites are on a gravel lot." This tradeoff between convenience and tranquility is common.
Military facility restrictions: For active/retired military, Range 14 Camp offers unique accommodations with specific rules. "Not a lot going on at the fam camp. Clean and gravel. Lots of military training nearby but overall a quiet stay," reports one visitor. These facilities typically prohibit pets and alcohol, unlike civilian campgrounds.
Tips for camping with families
Seasonal activities planning: Mountain Top RV Park offers varied family amenities that change with the seasons. "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," notes one family.
Lower elevation sites during rain: At Mountain Top RV Park, site selection matters for weather conditions. "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 one family camper.
Playground accessibility: When choosing between campgrounds, consider the age-appropriateness of play equipment. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, one family reports: "My kids explored the playground and found it sufficient." This minimalist assessment suggests basic rather than extensive play facilities.
Tips from RVers
Navigation challenges: Carefully plan your route to avoid difficult roads. For accessing Village Scene Park, one RVer shares: "You'll be driving down tree-lined, shady streets one moment and the very next, you'll happen across this unusual spot that seems to have carved itself years ago into the very suburban neighborhood."
Water pressure variations: Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South has unusually high water pressure according to one RVer: "Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi." This means pressure regulators are essential equipment for this campground.
Urban camping entry tips: For RVers heading to Liberty Harbor, navigation advice is crucial: "Getting in and out of the city is an adventure. Stay right off the highway to avoid the $30 tunnel toll. Follow RV life pro and not Waze." This specific routing information can save substantial money and frustration.
