Best RV Parks & Resorts near Princeton, NJ

RV parks around Princeton provide variable hookup options for motorhome travelers. Turkey Swamp Park offers 30-amp electric service at wooded sites, with seasonal operation from April through mid-November. Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City accommodates up to 90 RVs with both 30 and 50-amp electrical connections plus water hookups. Indian Rock RV Resort features full-hookup sites including sewer connections across its 99 spaces, operating May through September. Timberland Lake Campground provides both 50-amp electric and sewer hookups in Cream Ridge, with a March to December camping season. According to one visitor, "Sites are in the woods and widely spaced apart to give you privacy and the feeling of being out in the forest."

Advance reservations are recommended during summer weekends and fall foliage season when parks fill quickly. Many parks accommodate big rigs, with concrete pads at some locations and gravel at others. Cell service varies significantly between rural and urban locations, with limited connectivity reported at several parks. Most RV sites have sanitary dump stations available, though availability schedules differ by location. Military personnel have access to specialized RV parking at NWS Earle RV Park and the National Guard Training Center, which maintain stricter reservation policies. A visitor noted that Turkey Swamp Park requires extended water hoses as "you share a spigot with another site and you park lengthwise."

    Adventure Bound Camping (Tall Pines)

    Deceiving Website

    We stayed at Adventure Bound Tall Pines in Elmer, New Jersey, for Memorial Day weekend for a quick getaway. Despite reserving and paying for a“Premium” site, it fell far short. But there were still a few things we liked… 

    THINGS I LIKED: 

    1. Super-friendly staff, especially Allie, who was courteous and seemed to try to make things right 

    2. Lots of mature shade trees 

    3. DJ at the pool Saturday and Sunday and live band Saturday evening 

    4. Close proximity to Delsea Drive-in Theatre and Cohenzick Zoo 

    THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH: 

    1. I reserved and paid-in-full for a premium site which listed 50-amp service and a concrete pad. Nope. Only 30-amp service and no concrete pad. When I called the office, assuming there must’ve been a mistake, I was told by two different staff members that their website is“wonky.” I wouldn’t mind as much, but this weekend was 90-degrees each day and humid, so it would’ve been good to have air conditioning. 

    2. The entire park was dirty sand with weeds growing everywhere 

    3. This place is not big-rig friendly, difficult to navigate some of the turns in our 45’ motorhome and taking scratches from tree branches that should be trimmed 

    4. I paid$432 for 3-nights and feel like I was taken 

    WOULD WE COME BACK? 

    Nope. I’m sticking with campgrounds that give you what you paid for.

    Atsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest

    4x4ing in the Pine Barrens

    Atsion Family Campground

    Off US 206 and about 1/2 a mile up Atsion Road in New Jersey’s Wharton State Forest, you’ll find the Atsion Family Campground. The facility is run by the Dept of Environmental Protection and offers Tent, Trailer and Group Sites. There are also Cabins for rent as well, but only available during the summer months, After Memorial Day until October. AFC is one of several campgrounds in WSF and is the largest with 50 camping sites. Amenities include a handicapped accessible restroom/shower building, several drinking water spigots, and a waste dump for trailers. There are no electric hook ups and cell service is low, but manageable. Plenty of sun (shady too) so bring your solar powered generators and cell signal boosters if you need to stay connected. AFC is also pet friendly, so bring your 4 legged furry family members, after registering them with the camp site.

    The individual sites are spacious with a pic-nick table and fire ring grill. Some sites have lake-side water access, so bring your canoes and kayaks and reserve these sites (4, 8, 10, 12, 20 and 22) early as they are popular. The ground is sandy and relatively level for easy camp set up. Some sites are close to a roadway, so you do get some car noise, and like all unmonitored camp sites, loud, unruly campers can be lurking among the pines. Be sure to get your fire wood from the guy that lives across the street from the campground entrance. 5 bucks, on the honor system, a good amount of wood, open 24/7.

    Nearby is the Atsion Recreation Area, which offers fishing, walking, biking and horseback trails, a life guard monitored beach by the lake with restrooms and snacks (Summer Months). Only 15 minutes away, a quick drive, is Batso Village, an old iron and glass community from the late 1700s to early 1900s. NJ State Park Rangers are working hard keeping the area clean, rehabilitated, and educational center allowing you to walk through the old buildings and time as you image what life was like back then. Wharton SF is huge, over 122,000 acres of sandy terrain, towering pine trees, lakes/rivers and off roading trails!! Y’all should come and play in the Pine Barrens

    Adventure Bound Camping (Tall Pines)

    Overpriced

    Pros: 50 AMP, sewer & water hookup Nice amenities

    Cons: Sand sites Overpriced Tight site & hard to get in/out for big rigs

    Colonial Woods Family Resort

    Not big rig friendly.

    Ok so let me start off by saying. 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, trees are very low and need to be trimmed (almost took my ac out with a huge limb). Now if you’re not big rig camping like we do, this place is great for you. Close to the ringing rocks and three other towns. We were able to do so much even though it rained the entire weekend we were there.

    Mahlon Dickerson Reservation

    Nice, small, spacious campground

    We stayed at site 15 for 5 days. The sites are nicely wooded, very well spaced, fairly level with 50A service and water hookup. Although the water spigots were shared between sites, they provide hose caddies that should reach most RV hookups. No sewer hookup, but there is a convenient dump station. There are no fire rings in the RV section, only raised grills. We had the place pretty much to ourselves during the week, but the weekend did get busy. AT&T had ok data connection with 1-2 bars most of the time. There is no satellite coverage due to the heavy tree canopy. OTA TV was very inconsistent using an external omni antenna. There is no WiFi. There is a very nice network of trails in the reservation, most if not all were leashed dog friendly. There is a very nice restaurant, Stone Water, less than 10 miles away and is right on lake Hopatcong.

    Quakerwoods Campground

    Quaint Bucks County Camping Outpost

    If you find yourself careening around the picturesque country roads here in Bucks County you will discover Quakerwoods Campground (named of course after the previous tri-cornered hat-donning Quaker residents who settled this vast rich farmland a few hundred years ago) nestled in the verdant, rolling hills of a plush countryside punctuated by massive rolled bays of hay in the surrounding fields, covered wooden bridges and the occasional quaint New England well-preserved charming towns that you will encounter. So, if you have camping on your mind, finding a place like Quakerwoods Campground is quite the find, as it will place you squarely in the heart of one of the most picturesque natural landscapes here in the Keystone State.

    As for the campground, which is just off Exit 44 of PA Turnpike or Exit 60 & 60A off of I78, you’ll encounter a destination offering up 170 mostly back-in slots with full hook-ups (30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage) for RVs ranging between $55-$49 in the midst of a fairly decent wooded surrounding, although less so on the interior of the campground and moreso on its perimeter. There’s about 18 tent sites ranging between $40-$45 that  feature 15 amp electric and running water. All RV and tent sites are relatively flat and include a standard-issued picnic table and in-ground fold-up fire ring. Don’t have an RV, 5th Wheeler or Tent? Not a problem, as the good folks here at Quakerwoods will rent you one of their 4-6 person campers for $120/ night.

    The amenities here at Quakerwoods Campground are plenty, inclusive of: 4 Pristine restroom& shower facilities, Wi-Fi service, Free wagon rides(every Saturday), Camp store, Fishing pond, Adult& kid swimming pools, Walking paths, Fishing pond, Game room, Family bingo, Mini golf, Baseball field, Horseshoe pits, Kids Playgrounds, RC track, Front& Back pavilions, Sand Volleyball court, Cornhole, Basketball court, Designated dump stations, water stations, Bonfires, 2 Shuffleboard courts, Ice for sale, Propane refueling station, Laundry-O-Mat, Themed weekends and Pet friendly.

    Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) As a tent camper, I was impressed by how Quakerwoods segregates mi tent pitchin’ bredren from the rest of the folks who bring their homes with them on wheels, placing tent sites across the other side of a small creek on the southwestern periphery near the fishing pond; (2) Should you grow weary of trying to conjure up that next meal from the depths of your Cordova roto-molded cooler or from the confines of your onboard mini-fridge, while there’s not a ton of restaurants around these parts, there are a few and they are pretty amazing, including favorites Brick Tavern Inn and The West End, McCoole’s @ The Historic Red Lion Inn and Sage Alley Brewery; (3) In the event that you need to replenish any of your supplies, rest assured as in nearby Quakertown, there’s a Giant & Aldi’s grocery store as well as a local Target, Walmart, TJMaxx, Kohl’s and Link Beverages to stock up on the 21+ liquid refreshment; and (4) Should you be towing your canoe or kayak with you and are eager to get the beak of your waterbird wet, then head on over due east of Quakertown Campground to Nockamixon SP where there’s a sizeable, yet skinny lake just begging for you to navigate it and get some good, hard oaring in.

    Happy Camping!

    Panther Lake Camping Resort

    Stayed all summer

    We stayed at Panther Lake as full timers all season. Great during the week but very busy on weekends. Could be noisy with children not very well supervised.
    Friendly, helpful staff. Cable TV poor when it rains. Cell service spotty all carriers. No internet at sites. Lake beautiful and pool nice.

    Turkey Swamp Park

    Quiet Woodland Campground

    Turkey Swamp Park is a great find! Heavily wooded and supremely quiet, it’s located not far from anywhere you’d want to be. 30 minutes to the shore. Every site is a pull-through, large and spacious with great woodland views. 30amp and water. Dump station.

    The park has miles of shady forested trails for hiking and dog walking. there’s a large lake here too, for water based recreational activities.

    The bathrooms, showers, and laundry are co-located in a centrally situated structure. Everything inside is clean and well-maintained.

    We’ve got good cell signal with Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint. (We use all three.) Good OTA television signal also.

    We spent three days here in July 2021.


Guide to Princeton

RV sites near Princeton, New Jersey scatter across central New Jersey's coastal plain region where elevation rarely exceeds 400 feet. Summer temperatures typically range from 70-85°F with high humidity, while fall brings cooler temperatures and colorful foliage along the campgrounds' wooded areas. Most RV campgrounds in this area don't operate year-round, with many closing between November and April due to freezing temperatures.

What to do

Kayaking and fishing at Turkey Swamp Park: The 64-site county park offers a small lake where campers can rent kayaks, canoes, paddle boats and row boats during summer months. A visitor noted, "There is a lake with a boat dock and a small boardwalk. Kayaking/Canoeing, fishing, and swimming. In the summer, canoe, kayak, paddle boats, and row boats are available for rental."

Archery practice: Turkey Swamp Park includes an archery range where visitors can practice their skills. According to a camper, "Bring your bow and shoot at the hay barrels," making this a unique activity option not commonly found at other campgrounds in the region.

NYC sightseeing access: Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City provides strategic access to Manhattan via multiple transit options. A camper explained, "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."

Six Flags Great Adventure visits: Indian Rock RV Resort positions campers just minutes from this major theme park. One camper shared, "We stayed two nights at this park because we wanted to spend a day at Six flags. We would camp here again to go to six flags because it was easy to drive back a few minutes after a long day at the park."

What campers like

Spacious wooded sites: Turkey Swamp Park offers generously sized sites with good separation between neighbors. A camper described, "Sites in Loops B-E all have pull-thru driveways. Sites are all level, very generous in size, and reasonably spaced apart for privacy. A lantern hook, picnic table, and fire ring complete each site."

Clean facilities: Indian Rock RV Resort and Campground maintains well-kept bathroom facilities according to visitors. One camper mentioned, "The hostess was very friendly and helpful. Our site was a big pull through site," while another noted the park was "well run" despite being primarily occupied by seasonal campers.

Beach access at military sites: The National Guard Training Center RV Sites provide unique waterfront camping with ocean views. A visitor commented, "We stayed in site #1 with our 21' travel trailer. In our opinion this is the best site because you have an unobstructed view of Stockton Lake & the horizon over the ocean. Free beach just a few moments' walk down the road."

Convenience to attractions: Campgrounds in this region position visitors near both urban and natural attractions. At Village Scene Park, a camper noted its location is "great for those wanting to access some of the bigger, better things in Philly proper, without having to actually stay in the city."
