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.

This is a county park (Morris County, NJ) but it's more impressive than most state parks I've been to, as well as some national parks. Certainly at least the NJ park system should take notes from this park. The price is right. The place is dog friendly. No extra cost for pets. It's clean. Honestly, I have never been to an RV park with fewer pieces of trash. Virtually none. The bathrooms had great hot water and pressure, individual lockable shower rooms. Spaces were roomy and only slightly unlevel (some worse than others) and they were well spaced apart from one another. The water spigots were far from the RVs, but in the front, they provided long hoses. We also stayed in the back for a few nights, and there we had to use our own 50 ft hose. There were miles and miles of incredible hiking and biking trails, with trailheads right at the RV area--trails with scenic overlooks and well marked blazes, picnic areas, sign posts, swamps, ponds, boulders, and streams. It's incredibly beautiful. We had good cell service with metropcs (t mobile towers) and could even have full blown phone conversations in the deep woods. The park is just over an hour from NYC. Since we started RVing full time in December, this is hands down our favorite campground, and we'll definitely be back.
