Several RV parks near Mendham provide full hookup services for campers traveling through northern New Jersey. Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City offers 90 sites with electric, water hookups, and a sanitary dump station, accommodating big rigs with 50-amp service. "Sites are nicely wooded, very well spaced, fairly level with 50A service and water hookup," noted one visitor at Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, which features paved RV sites with electric and water connections. NWS Earle RV Park in Colts Neck operates seasonally from April through November, providing sewer hookups, water, and 50-amp electric service for larger motorhomes. Mountain Top RV Park accommodates big rigs and offers full hookup sites including electric, water, and sewer connections.
Navigating RV parks in this region often requires planning around seasonal closures, with several facilities shutting down between late October and early April. Cell service varies significantly throughout Morris County's hilly terrain, with visitors reporting inconsistent AT&T coverage at some locations. Most RV parks in the area allow pets but enforce leash requirements and designated pet areas. Dump station access is typically included with overnight stays, though Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort and Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South maintain more comprehensive sanitary facilities. During summer weekends, advance reservations are essential as parks fill quickly with weekend travelers from nearby metropolitan areas. Several parks enforce quiet hours beginning at 10 PM, with one camper noting that "sites are large, many have nice mix of sun and shade" at Spruce Run Recreation Area.

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!

Cool Riverside Campground
I'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.

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.

Black Bear RV Park
Super clean and quiet
Past reviews has mentioned that the office seems to be closed often, while I found that to be true I had no reason to contact anyone. This is definitely one of the cleanest quiets site I’ve ever visited

Tohickon Family Campground
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.

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!

TravelerTri-State RV Park
A place to stay in an area lacking campgrounds.
This area seems to be devoid of campgrounds except for this one. It’s basically just a large parking lot with hook ups. Completely open, which is great for Starlink. Bathrooms were slightly above average; fairly clean and places to hang clothes for your shower. Has a laundry but be sure to bring quarters. It is about 100 yards from the interstate so you’ll get a lot of noise and diesel exhaust fumes.

Great off season camping
We camped here in our pop up for our Anniversary in November. We were impressed with the cleanliness and available amenities for the time of year we were camping in! Close proximity to DWG and PA AND NJ attractions.
Guide to Mendham
Camping near Mendham, New Jersey places visitors within Morris County's hilly terrain where elevations range between 500-1,000 feet. Most RV campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from April through October, with a few remaining open year-round. Winter campers should note that nighttime temperatures regularly drop below freezing from December through February.
What to do
Hiking trails access: At Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, visitors can enjoy numerous hiking paths directly from the campground. "There are plenty of trails, water (creeks, pond, lake) views and even if the place is packed there is PLENTY of room," notes a camper. Another visitor mentions they "always hike to the lake here, it's a very easy hike and also very peaceful."
NYC sightseeing: Just 17 miles from Manhattan, Liberty Harbor RV Park serves as a strategic base for city exploration. "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 camper. The park also offers views of the Statue of Liberty.
Animal encounters: Families particularly enjoy feeding farm animals at several campgrounds. "The farm has goats, a donkey, and a pony within the campground. Very cool," reports a visitor to Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort. Children can typically feed these animals during daylight hours with feed available for purchase at camp stores.
What campers like
Spacious woodland sites: The wooded campsites at Mahlon Dickerson Reservation receive consistent praise. "The campsites are paved and mostly level. They are wooded and large," writes one reviewer. Another camper notes, "Sites are easily the nicest—all the way in the back with only one neighbor. It is so quiet here."
Convenient city access: Urban convenience makes Tri-State RV Park popular despite its proximity to highways. "Easy on, easy off. Lots of pull through sites. Next to grocery store. CLEAN bathrooms, showers, laundry. Super nice owners. Perfect for an overnight stop," reports one visitor. The location allows quick access to shopping and supplies.
Modern infrastructure: Campers appreciate updated facilities at Mountain Top RV Park, where "newly upgraded camp infrastructure elevated the stay, providing amenities for comfort and entertainment." The same reviewer noted, "The investment in new 50amp wiring, upgraded sewer systems, and newer water lines provided convenient camping experience."
What you should know
Highway noise impacts: Some campgrounds close to major roadways experience significant traffic noise. At Tri-State RV Park, one camper reported, "Located just off the highway so lots of vehicle noise 24/7." Another noted they were "Very disappointed with how close it was to the interstate (you could actually feel the heavier trucks go by)."
Varying cellular coverage: Mobile service fluctuates throughout the region's hilly landscape. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, a camper observed, "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." Many campgrounds have spotty coverage in wooded areas.
Limited tent camping options: Several RV parks near Mendham don't accommodate tent campers or offer very limited tent sites. At Liberty Harbor RV Park, a visitor noted, "There is only a small place for tents. Mostly people go there with campers."
Tips for camping with families
Scout playground facilities: Family-oriented campgrounds often provide play areas appropriate for different age ranges. At Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort, "There is a small playground, a mini golf, and a large dog walk," though some visitors note limited supervision of resident children who "run free all day and past curfew in the evenings."
Check activity schedules: Weekend programming varies significantly by season. "There were some organized activities which was nice, not as much as a Jellystone Park," reports a Pleasant Acres visitor. Most campgrounds near Mendham post activity calendars online or at check-in.
Consider bathroom accessibility: At some campgrounds, facilities may be distant from campsites. One camper at Pleasant Acres noted, "The office, playground, dog park, pool, laundry are located at the top of the hill. Camping spots are downhill, a good distance from the office and amenities." Families with young children should request sites near restrooms.
Tips from RVers
Navigate size restrictions: Several rv campgrounds near Mendham, New Jersey accommodate larger rigs, but access roads can present challenges. At Pleasant Acres, "When you leave you have to drive the wrong way in the campground because of the low hanging trees the correct direction."
Waste disposal planning: Trash management differs between facilities. One camper at Pleasant Acres noted, "Trash is located off site in a pullout on the road you drive in on," while another mentioned, "No garbage anywhere near the RV sites!" and "without a golf cart (which they had none to offer) or a car, you're stuck."
City access planning: RVers visiting NWS Earle RV Park appreciate its strategic location, as "It's only an hour from Manhattan & 20 more minutes from the shore." Those driving larger rigs to Liberty Harbor should "Stay right off the highway to avoid the $30 tunnel toll. Follow RV life pro and not Waze."
