I made a trip to this location with a 35-foot 5th wheel and a long bed pickup, settling in at site #4. This east/west, BI site cost me $27 per night. Both the roads and the site were surfaced with asphalt. The roads were somewhat narrow, but the park management has attempted to alleviate this by introducing gravel in various spots along the sides and at some sites. A good number of the sites are inclined, with site #4 being one of the more even ones, although I still needed to use boards underneath the driver's side. A useful piece of advice would be to stay close to the passenger side of the asphalt to avoid a significant drop at the rear corner of the driver's side. The park supplied water via hoses running all over the place, so if you plan on visiting in early spring or late autumn, it's best to call ahead to confirm the availability of water hookups. Site #4 offers partial shade, while the rear loop is completely shaded. This site boasts an expansive "front yard" and is conveniently located near the bathhouse, which, despite its worn-out appearance, was clean. Due to the park's small size, there was minimal foot traffic to the bathhouse. The site came with a picnic table and grill, but there was no fire pit. As for connectivity, I had 3 bars of 5G with Verizon, no wifi, a download speed of 308.6 mbps, and only

We camped in November after the water at the sites was shut off, but we were able to fill our fresh water at the restrooms. Mostly level, asphalt parking spots. Weldon Rd is a smaller paved road with slight hills and curves. We had no problems getting here with our 34 ft fifth wheel.

Came here as a last minute change since we needed hook ups. Lovely small campground hidden in the woods. Sites were a bit unlevel side to side but Anderson levelers did the trick. Unfortunately, it rained the entire time we were there and the electric went out as well. But Park staff were very responsive and provided updates so we were only without power for a few hours.

This is a nice quiet wooded campground. We had an electric and sewer site. There was a dump station on site. This is a very small campground that we will definitely return to since my husband works close by. The bathhouse was older but clean.

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.

this was a pleasant surprise of a campsite. We stayed over a Saturday night and it was very quiet. There were several sites available. The road around the campground is paved as are the individual sites (see pics), relatively level, and have electric (50 amp, 30 amp, 110v) and water at each site. New picnic tables and BBQ grills are also provided. Activities focus around hiking, but there is a baseball field and a mowed grass field for any activity. There is also a dump station on site (available to non campers for$20). Great campground, highly recommend.
