Campgrounds near Andover, New Jersey
Andover sits in Sussex County in northwestern New Jersey's Skylands region, surrounded by state parks, glacial lakes, and forested ridges within easy reach of New York City. The area works well as an RV base for families: destinations range from full-service resorts with pools and cabins to quieter state park campgrounds along rivers and lakes.
Close to town, Panther Lake Camping Resort offers a private lake with fishing, kayaking, and a beach area, while The Great Divide Campground, LLC sits in rural Sussex County with a mix of wooded and open sites. Fla-Net Park, in nearby Netcong, is oriented toward RV travelers with hookup sites and a dump station.
For state park camping, Stephens State Park and Swartswood State Park offer wooded or grassy campsites in natural settings, each including a fire ring, picnic table and lantern holder, with facilities that include drinking water, restrooms and showers. Stephens sits along the Musconetcong River near Hackettstown, while Swartswood, located in Sussex County near Stillwater Township, is New Jersey's historic first state park, established in 1915, centered on Swartswood Lake, the state's third-largest freshwater lake.
Things to do near Andover
Water activities anchor most trips. Boating activities on Swartswood Lake include canoeing, kayaking, and sailing on electric motors, keeping the glacial lake quiet. Fishing in Swartswood and Little Swartswood Lakes turns up trout, bass, sunfish, catfish, walleye, and pickerel. The Musconetcong River at Stephens State Park provides trout fishing in spring. Panther Lake Camping Resort adds swimming, a sandy beach, and paddling on its private lake.
On land, hiking trails weave through the surrounding parks. Stephens State Park has picnic areas and trails along the river, and just east along Waterloo Road are the remains of one of the Morris Canal's locks and a section of the old towpath. Waterloo Village and Lake Hopatcong are short drives for a break from camp.

Most campgrounds in the Andover area run a spring-to-fall season. Private resorts like Panther Lake Camping Resort and The Great Divide Campground, LLC typically operate from mid-spring through mid-fall, with specific opening and closing dates varying by year. Fla-Net Park follows a similar seasonal pattern.
State park campsites have defined windows. At Swartswood State Park, campsites are open April 1 through Oct. 31, and Stephens State Park's campground follows a comparable spring-to-fall schedule. Shelters at Swartswood are open April 1 to Dec. 15, extending the shoulder season for those willing to use fixed structures instead of tents or RVs. Summer weekends and fall foliage weekends fill fastest, so plan around holidays if a quieter stay matters.
Winter reduces options sharply. Most private campgrounds close entirely, state park facilities scale back, and cold temperatures plus snow are common. The park itself stays open all year for hiking, birdwatching, cross-country skiing, swimming, boating, and camping across the seasons, but overnight camping in the immediate area is very limited outside the main season.

How to book a site near Andover
New Jersey state park campsites use a single central reservation system. Online bookings for both Swartswood and Stephens are handled through the state's camping portal at camping.nj.gov. Sites can be booked online, up to a year in advance, for a maximum of 14 days, and fall reservations tend to fill up quickly. Non-residents pay a higher nightly rate than New Jersey residents.
Private campgrounds book directly. Panther Lake Camping Resort, The Great Divide Campground, LLC, and Fla-Net Park each take reservations by phone or through their own websites, with cabin and trailer rentals available in addition to RV and tent sites. For peak-season weekends, plan several months out; last-minute openings appear more often midweek and in shoulder season.
What to expect on the ground
Sites vary widely in size and setting. Panther Lake Camping Resort mixes wooded sites offering more privacy with open sections designed for larger rigs, and cell service can be spotty across parts of the property. Fla-Net Park is set up for RVs with hookup sites, restrooms with showers, and a dump station.
State park sites are more rustic. There are no full hookups for RVs at Swartswood. Expect fire rings, picnic tables, and walk-to bathhouses. Black bears are active in the region, so keep coolers and food in vehicles at all times. Charcoal fires must be contained in the metal grills provided at the site, visitors are free to bring their own grills, and wood fires are not permitted at Swartswood.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Andover, NJ
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Andover, NJ?
RV rental in Andover is more affordable than you might expect, especially compared to renting near New York City. On RVezy, travel trailers in the Sussex County area typically start around $100 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes run roughly $200 to $300 per night, and larger Class A coaches average $275 to $450 per night. Booking midweek, traveling in May or late September, and choosing a delivery-only trailer (so you skip fuel costs) are easy ways to land a cheap RV rental in Andover. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book and message a few hosts directly. Many owners offer weekly discounts of 10 to 20 percent for stays of five nights or more around Lake Mohawk and the Kittatinny Mountains.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Andover%2C%20New%20JerseyWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Andover, NJ?
Good news, a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Andover, NJ. New Jersey does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any special RV endorsement for the motorhomes and trailers listed on RVezy, including Class A, Class C, and fifth wheels under typical recreational weights. You'll need to be 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the booking flow, so there's no extra paperwork once you arrive. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your home license. First time renting an RV? Your host will walk you through every system at pickup, so you'll leave Andover feeling confident behind the wheel.
nj.gov/mvc/license/newdriver.htmIs my RV rental in Andover, NJ protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RV rental in Andover booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built in. The protection plan covers damage to the vehicle during your trip, and you choose your coverage level (Basic, Standard, or Premium) during checkout, not the host. That means if you have a fender bender on Route 206 or a tire issue on I-80 heading toward the Delaware Water Gap, you are not on your own. It provides real financial protection and peace of mind throughout your Andover RV trip. Pro tip: most first-time renters choose Standard or Premium for the lower damage responsibility, a smart move on a winding northwest NJ road trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Andover RV trip?
Booking an RV rental in Andover is low-risk because RVezy, not the individual host, sets the cancellation policy across the platform. There is a money-back grace period right after booking, and additional flexibility depending on how far out your trip is. You will not see different cancellation rules on each listing because it is handled centrally by RVezy. If a host ever cancels on you, RVezy refunds you in full or helps you rebook. Pro tip: book early to lock in the best Sussex County RVs for fall foliage season, knowing you have a clear, predictable way to adjust if your plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Andover, NJ?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental in Andover, NJ is easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see dozens of motorhomes and trailers where dogs are welcome. Sussex County is one of the most dog-loving corners of New Jersey, with leashed pets allowed on trails at Kittatinny Valley State Park, Allamuchy Mountain State Park, and the Paulinskill Valley Trail just minutes from town. Many campgrounds, including Panther Lake Camping Resort and Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort, also welcome dogs with on-leash policies. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any breed or size notes, and ask about a shaded site, summer afternoons in Andover regularly hit the mid 80s.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/kittval.htmlCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Andover, NJ?
Yes, RV delivery in Andover is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it is a game-changer for first-time renters. Many local hosts will tow a travel trailer or fifth wheel directly to nearby campgrounds like Panther Lake Camping Resort, Kittatinny Valley State Park, or Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. You just show up with groceries and your gear. Delivery fees in northwest NJ typically range from $2 to $5 per mile beyond a free radius, with a setup fee around $75 to $150. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see which Andover hosts offer it, and you are set for a stress-free Andover RV trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Andover%2C%20New%20JerseyHow far can I travel on an Andover, NJ RV road trip?
You can go a long way on an RV road trip from Andover. The town sits near I-80 and Route 206, putting some of the best camping in the Northeast within easy reach. The Delaware Water Gap is about 30 miles west, the Poconos are roughly 50 miles, Lake George in the Adirondacks is around 230 miles, Acadia National Park is roughly 470 miles, and Niagara Falls is about 380 miles. Mileage policies are set by each host and typically range from 100 to 200 free miles per night, with some offering RV rental with unlimited mileage. Pro tip: if you are planning a longer route, filter for unlimited miles and message the host early to confirm.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Andover%2C%20New%20JerseyWhere are the best campgrounds near Andover, NJ?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping in Andover. Kittatinny Valley State Park is right in town with quiet, wooded sites and access to the Sussex Branch Trail. Panther Lake Camping Resort, just off Route 206, offers full-hookup sites on a 45-acre private lake with a sandy beach. Mahlon Dickerson Reservation in nearby Jefferson Township has 50-amp electric and water sites tucked into 3,200 forested acres, the highest elevation in Morris County. Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort in Sussex is family-friendly with full hookups, and Worthington State Forest along the Delaware River is perfect for a more rustic stay. Pro tip: most of these book up 3 to 6 months ahead for summer weekends.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/kittval.htmlWhen is the best time to rent an RV in Andover, NJ?
Late April through late October is prime time for an Andover, NJ RV trip, with the absolute sweet spots being mid-May to mid-June and the second half of September into mid-October. Spring brings 60 to 75 degree days and blooming dogwoods around Lake Aeroflex. July and August are warm and humid with highs in the mid 80s, great for swimming at Panther Lake but busier at campgrounds. Fall foliage in the Kittatinny Ridge peaks around the second week of October and is genuinely world-class. Winter rentals are available too, several local hosts offer four-season rigs for ski trips to Mountain Creek, just 20 minutes north in Vernon. Pro tip: book fall weekends by July.
weather.gov/phi/I'm renting an RV for the first time. Will I be okay driving around Andover?
You've got this. First time renting an RV in Andover is genuinely manageable because most local roads, like Route 206, Route 15, and I-80 west of Parsippany, are wide and well-maintained, without the congestion of the metro core. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup that covers driving, leveling, hookups, propane, slide-outs, and the dump tank. You will also have 24/7 roadside assistance and your host's phone number for any questions on the road. Pro tip: choose a Class C motorhome or a 20 to 25 foot travel trailer for your first trip, then practice a few turns in an empty lot before heading toward the Delaware Water Gap.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat if I have a breakdown during my Andover RV rental?
You're covered. Every RV rental in Andover booked on RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire, dead battery, lockout, or mechanical issue is a phone call away from being handled. Whether you are parked at Kittatinny Valley State Park, climbing I-80 west toward the Delaware Water Gap, or pulled over on Route 206 near Newton, help can be dispatched directly to your location. Your host is also your first call for any quirks specific to their RV, they know it best. Pro tip: snap a photo of your RV's VIN, license plate, and tire size at pickup, it makes any roadside call go twice as fast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Andover RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is welcome on most Andover RV rentals, and that's a huge perk given the location. From Andover you can easily explore Pennsylvania's Poconos, New York's Catskills and Finger Lakes, Connecticut's shoreline, Vermont's Green Mountains, and the Maine coast, all popular routes from Sussex County. Cross-border travel into Canada is allowed on many listings (think Niagara Falls or Montreal), but you'll want to message the host before booking to confirm and to handle the documentation. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend there. Pro tip: bring your passport for Canada and let your host know your planned route, they often have great tips on border-friendly campgrounds.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas budget should I plan for?
Budgeting for an RV trip from Andover is straightforward once you know the ballpark. Class B campervans average 18 to 22 miles per gallon (MPG), Class C motorhomes get 8 to 12 MPG, Class A coaches run 6 to 10 MPG, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle but typically knock 3 to 5 MPG off your truck or SUV. New Jersey gas prices tend to sit slightly below the national average, and there are full-service stations (NJ law, no self-serve) along Route 206 and I-80 with easy RV access. Pro tip: fill up in NJ before crossing into Pennsylvania or New York, where prices and taxes are usually higher, especially on a long Andover RV road trip.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far ahead should I book a campground near Andover, NJ?
Book early and you will have your pick of the best spots. New Jersey State Park campgrounds, including Kittatinny Valley, Stokes State Forest, and Worthington State Forest, take reservations through the NJ State Park reservation system up to several months in advance. Summer weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day, plus October foliage weekends, often fill within hours of release. Private resorts like Panther Lake Camping Resort and Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort take direct bookings and tend to sell out 2 to 4 months ahead for peak dates. Pro tip: if you strike out, ask your RVezy host, many know lesser-known county parks like Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, which often has openings.
newjerseystateparks.reserveamerica.com/Are there any local driving conditions I should know about around Andover?
Driving an RV around Andover is generally easy, but a few local quirks are worth knowing. Sussex County's roads twist through the Kittatinny Mountains, so expect rolling grades on Route 94 toward Vernon and tight curves on Route 521 north of town, take it slow with a tall rig. I-80 west toward the Delaware Water Gap has a steep descent at the state line, downshift early. New Jersey is also a full-service fuel state, so stay in your seat at the pump. Pro tip: many low bridges on the Garden State Parkway and around NYC are RV-unfriendly, so stick to I-80, I-78, and Route 206 when heading in or out of Andover with a tall motorhome.
state.nj.us/transportation/commuter/roads/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Andover?
Campgrounds near Andover offer a great mix of comfort and nature. Full-hookup parks like Panther Lake Camping Resort and Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort include 30 and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer at the site, plus dump stations, hot showers, laundry, Wi-Fi, and pools. State park campgrounds such as Kittatinny Valley and Worthington State Forest are more rustic, with electric and water at many sites but no individual sewer, you'll dump at a central station on your way out. Potable water fill stations are available at every developed campground in the area. Pro tip: arrive with at least half a fresh-water tank, the closest reliable RV dump and fill station outside campgrounds is at Flying J in Bloomsbury, about an hour south.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/kittval.htmlWhat's inside a typical Andover RV rental?
You'll be impressed by how well-equipped Andover RV rentals are. Most motorhomes and trailers on RVezy come with a queen or king bed, convertible dinette and sofa beds (sleeping 4 to 8 total), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, an indoor bathroom with shower and toilet, climate control with both air conditioning and furnace, and seatbelted travel seats. Many also include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor speakers, and a generator or solar setup for off-grid stays at Stokes State Forest. Wi-Fi varies by rig, but Verizon and T-Mobile both work well across Sussex County. Pro tip: filter by sleeps count and the amenities you care about most, like a slide-out for extra living space on rainy Poconos afternoons.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/index.htmlWhat add-ons and options can I get with my Andover, NJ RV rental?
Hosts in Andover love making your trip easier with thoughtful add-ons. Popular extras include kitchen kits ($25 to $50), linen and towel packages ($25 to $75), camp chairs and outdoor rugs ($15 to $30), generators for boondocking ($25 to $50 per day), bike racks, and propane refills. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Andover, Newton, or nearby Sparta, with most hosts offering a 1 to 2 hour walkthrough. Mileage allowances typically range from 100 to 200 free miles per night, with overage at $0.30 to $0.50 per mile, and several hosts offer unlimited mileage packages for longer trips. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and a kitchen kit if it's your first motorhome rental in Andover, you'll arrive to a fully ready RV.
visitnj.org/How does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment for your Andover RV rental is simple and secure. Everything runs through the RVezy platform with a major credit or debit card, so you never hand cash to the host. You will pay at booking through RVezy's secure checkout. A refundable security deposit (typically a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the RV) is held separately from your booking payment and released after the trip once the host confirms the RV came back in good shape. To avoid any issues, do a thorough walk-around photo and video at pickup and again at drop-off, and refill propane and fuel as agreed. Pro tip: keep all communication inside the RVezy app, it is your record if any question comes up.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Andover for a winter or ski trip?
Yes, winter RV camping near Andover is absolutely a thing, and it is a hidden gem. Several RVezy hosts in Sussex County offer four-season rigs with heated holding tanks, enclosed and insulated underbellies, and shore-power hookups that handle cold January nights in the Kittatinny Mountains. Mountain Creek Resort in Vernon is about 20 miles north, and Camelback in the Poconos is under an hour away. For overnighting, look for campgrounds with year-round electric, like select sites at Mahlon Dickerson Reservation. Pro tip: when you message the host, ask about a heated water hose and how to winter-prep the gray and black tanks, it is a small step that makes a campervan rental Andover ski weekend feel downright cozy.
