Campgrounds near Garwood, New Jersey
Garwood sits in Union County, central to a stretch of northern and central New Jersey with limited RV camping directly in town. Most trips base out of established parks within a one- to two-hour drive, covering the Jersey City waterfront, the Morris County countryside, Brooklyn's Jamaica Bay shoreline, and the pine belt south of Freehold.
The closest RV-friendly option is Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City, an urban site used primarily as a staging area for New York City. Fla-Net Park in Flanders sits about 45 miles from New York City and offers a quieter countryside base with full hookups. Further afield, Turkey Swamp Park in Freehold Township offers wooded county-park sites suited to travel trailers and motorhomes, while Floyd Bennett Field, part of Gateway National Recreation Area in Brooklyn, provides tent and RV camping close to the city.
Camp Wyanokie in West Milford is rustic tent camping only and does not accept RVs, but it works well for families willing to leave the rig at home for a weekend. Together these parks cover urban sightseeing, coastal recreation, and forested lake camping within a short drive of Garwood.
Things to do near Garwood
From Liberty Harbor RV Park, ferries, light rail, and PATH connections put Lower Manhattan, Liberty State Park, and the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island ferries within easy reach.

Birders should try the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge with 300 species of migratory birds, with willets and green herons in spring and summer, or osprey and black crowned night herons year-round.

Kimmy T. - Oct 2026
Marc, the owner, and the RV went way beyond my expectations! Marc is super knowledgeable and helpful. The RV had every amenity you could want, was so easy to drive, and very well maintained. Prior to pick up date Marc sent me documentary and video informational instructions that were extremely useful. Marc was always available for any questions whether before or during our trip. We rented the RV for 13 days and traveled pretty far. I have no doubt that because the RV was so comfortable inconvenience. Our trip was effortless. I would definitely rent with Marc again and can’t wait for our next trip!
