Camping options around Mount Holly, New Jersey include several established campgrounds within a 30-40 mile radius, primarily in neighboring Pennsylvania and central New Jersey. Mountainview Campground in Little York and Ringing Rocks Family Campground in Upper Black Eddy offer mixed-use sites accommodating tents, RVs, and cabin rentals. Most campgrounds in the region provide electric hookups, water access, and basic amenities like picnic tables and fire rings. Colonial Woods Family Resort and Nockamixon State Park Cabins expand the accommodation options with glamping facilities alongside traditional camping sites. Mount Holly campers can find suitable campgrounds for weekend getaways or extended stays across various price points and amenity levels.
Seasonal operation affects most campgrounds in the area, with many facilities operating from April through October. Round Valley Recreation Area and Spruce Run Recreation Area both operate within this timeframe, restricting access during winter months. The terrain varies from forested settings to more open, maintained grounds with different levels of privacy between sites. Roads within campgrounds are sometimes challenging for larger vehicles, particularly at facilities like Colonial Woods. A visitor noted, "If we still had our smaller travel trailer this review would've been at least 4 stars. However this place is not the place for you if you have a fifth wheel. The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides."
Campground environments across the region range from family-focused resorts to more natural settings. Many facilities maintain swimming pools, playgrounds, and organized activities, particularly during summer weekends and holidays. Tent campers frequently mention the varying quality of tent sites, with some campgrounds clearly prioritizing RV accommodation. "Very clean campground, clean bathrooms and showers. However, if you're tent camping the bathrooms are FAR," reported one camper at Ringing Rocks Family Campground. Several reviewers highlighted natural attractions near camping areas, particularly the unique Ringing Rocks County Park where visitors can create metallic sounds by striking the rocks with hammers. For those seeking more privacy, parks like Tohickon Valley County Park offer more secluded sites compared to the sometimes crowded layouts of commercially operated campgrounds.

"Store has most, if not all you essentials. ( had to get an extension cord because I forgot one of mine) so, if everything was positive, why did I give it four stars??"

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!

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!

Quiet after 10
I got there late in the afternoon and the place remained busy with people coming and going until well after dark. By 10, it finally settled down and no one bothered me the rest of the night.

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.

Great cabins!
We booked a cabin at the last minute and were pleasantly surprised that the cabin had heat and electricity! It was very close to the awesome heated bathroom also! We were also able to catch a beautiful sunset! Great camp all around!

Guide to Mount Holly
Camping sites near Mount Holly, New Jersey provide access to both Pennsylvania and New Jersey outdoor experiences, typically within 30-40 miles of town. These campgrounds sit in varied terrain ranging from 400-1,200 feet elevation, creating different camping microclimates throughout the region. Most camping facilities close between late October and early April due to seasonal temperature drops that average 25-35°F during winter nights.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Round Valley Recreation Area offers exceptional fishing in its 2,350-acre reservoir. "The water is crystal clear, the area is clean. There's bathrooms and pumps but we just filtered the water from the reservoir instead which tasted a million times better than the well water," notes camper James R.
Hammock relaxation: Nockamixon State Park Cabins provides ample trees for hanging out. "This is a great place to pitch a hammock and hang out for a few hours. They have a lot of land so it's easy to find a secluded spot to hang out away from paths and people!" shares Beatrice G.
Rock music making: Take a hammer to Ringing Rocks County Park near Ringing Rocks Family Campground. "We went to Ringing Rocks county park and the kids were having so much fun making music they didn't want to leave," says Justin B. The unusual rock formation creates metallic sounds when struck.
What campers like
Wildlife encounters: Mountainview Campground offers unexpected animal sightings. "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 Christina H.
Water views: Many campers appreciate lakeside settings. "Our site was on the water and it was really nice. A duck visited us every morning," mentions Jules T. about her stay at Spruce Run Recreation Area.
Stargazing spots: Clear night skies are a highlight at multiple campgrounds. "Great spot for stargazing. Owners are very nice," notes Scott A. about his primitive site experience.
What you should know
Tent site limitations: Several campgrounds prioritize RV accommodations over tent sites. "The tent spots are very close together, and when we stayed the RV campers get really rowdy at night past quiet hours (10pm) which sucked having our 7 year old with us trying to sleep," warns a Ringing Rocks camper.
Bathroom conditions: Facilities vary widely across campgrounds. "The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. I thought with COVID they were cleaning them more, but for the entire weekend, someone's #2 remained all over the toilet, floor, and corner wall," reports a Spruce Run camper.
Reservation timing: Some campgrounds enforce strict arrival policies. "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," explains Kyhlea D.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access: Colonial Woods Family Resort offers water amenities for hot weather. "The pool and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times," notes Nicole S., though she mentions "the posted pool hours were not as described."
Playground options: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas. "We had a great weekend with a group site which was perfect for 6 campers. We went on Father's Day weekend and they had nice arts and crafts for the kids to do for dad," reports Shannon C.
Budget-friendly activities: Several parks organize free activities. "They did a few activities the one we did go to was the casino night where they had separate play areas for kids and adults. All the money made is donated to Shriners Children's Hospital which is awesome and the kids loved the candy and little prizes they won," shares a Colonial Woods visitor.
Tips from RVers
Road conditions: Narrow campground roads present challenges. "The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed (almost took my AC out with a huge limb)," warns Brian C. about Colonial Woods.
Site selection strategy: For unobstructed camping, choose carefully. "If bringing your RV, the safest bet is to reserve a spot with no shade as the other spots often times have very low hanging tree limbs," advises Douglas P. about Spruce Run.
Hook-up locations: Some parks offer strategic options. "There are some RV sites with water & electric which are not on the water, but in the parking lot. I would consider getting one on the water to enjoy the water and one in the parking lot to hook up the RV. It's kind of worth it," suggests Ruette W. about Tohickon Valley County Park.
