Campgrounds near Demarest, New Jersey
Demarest sits in northern Bergen County, a residential borough about ten miles from the George Washington Bridge and the west side of Manhattan. The immediate area has no campgrounds inside town limits, so RV travelers typically base out of parks in Jersey City, the Ramapo and Hudson Highlands to the north and west, or Gateway National Recreation Area in Brooklyn.
The closest full-hookup option is Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City, offering electric and water service and pull-through sites with quick transit access to Manhattan. For a woodsier trip, Beaver Pond Campground sits within the roughly 46,000-acre Harriman State Park in Rockland County, adjacent to the Lake Welch Recreation Area, with 125 campsites and select sites that can accommodate trailers or RVs up to 30 feet.
Further options include Floyd Bennett Field within Gateway National Recreation Area in Brooklyn, tent-only Camp Wyanokie at the edge of Norvin Green State Forest, and Pelton Pond at Clarence Fahnestock State Park in the Hudson Valley. Travelers should confirm current availability directly with each park, as some sites close seasonally.
Things to do near Demarest
Demarest is a practical launch point for both metropolitan sightseeing and outdoor recreation. From Liberty Harbor RV Park, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and lower Manhattan are reachable by ferry and PATH train.
North and west, the trail networks are the main draw. Harriman State Park offers more than 200 miles of trails ranging from easy to strenuous, plus 31 lakes and two beaches, with activities including swimming, fishing, paddling, boating, ice fishing, and ice skating. Clarence Fahnestock Memorial State Park adds boating, fishing, hunting, and birding, with Canopus Lake as the centerpiece and a section of the Appalachian Trail crossing the park. Camp Wyanokie provides a five-acre lake, hiking, and fishing at the edge of Norvin Green State Forest.

Camping season in the region is shaped by state park calendars. Beaver Pond typically opens in mid-April for walk-in camping only, with the regular reservation season running from early May through mid-October. Camp Gateway Brooklyn at Floyd Bennett Field is generally open from mid-May through mid-October. Pelton Pond at Fahnestock is closed for the 2026 season while a new bathhouse is constructed, so travelers should plan around that closure.
Summer is peak, and popular weekends fill months out. Spring and summer are the busiest seasons and the best times for paddling and swimming. Fall brings cooler nights and foliage across the Hudson Valley and Highlands, with campgrounds staying open into October or early November depending on the site.
Winter narrows options sharply. Liberty Harbor operates year-round for RVs, while most state park campgrounds close. Fahnestock Winter Park keeps a network of groomed trails open for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing for day visitors.

How to book near Demarest
Reservation systems vary by campground. New York State parks, including Beaver Pond and Pelton Pond, use ReserveAmerica, with camping reservations available up to nine months in advance. Sites become available at the nine-month window at 8 a.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. Saturday and Sunday during the main booking season. From mid-May to early October, same-day reservations are permitted only until 3 p.m., and no walk-ins are allowed on non-campsite bookings.
Floyd Bennett Field is booked through Recreation.gov, with reservations available up to six months in advance. Camp Wyanokie is a tent-only campground that does not accept RVs; all bookings are handled through its online reservation partner. Liberty Harbor books directly through its website or by phone, and weekend and summer stays should be locked in well ahead of arrival.
What to expect near Demarest
Expect two very different experiences depending on where the trip is based. Liberty Harbor RV Park is a basic but practical option with a prime location, essentially a paved lot with hookups rather than a traditional campground, with sites close together and limited privacy, but transit access to Manhattan is strong.
State park campgrounds are more traditional but rustic. Beaver Pond sites can host up to two tents and six people, with select sites for trailers or RVs up to 30 feet, and there are no electrical hookups. Pets are not permitted at Beaver Pond, and only one vehicle is allowed per campsite. Black bears inhabit Harriman and Bear Mountain, so food storage discipline is essential.
Camp Wyanokie is the most primitive of the group: no running water, no electricity, and pit latrines. RV travelers should choose accordingly.
