State park sites use New Jersey's central reservation system. Online reservations for Wawayanda State Park can be made at camping.nj.gov, and campsites can be booked up to 11 months in advance. If a preferred site is not available, the system allows travelers to set an availability notification that sends an email alert when a match opens, though the notification does not lock the site and any user can book it the moment it becomes available. Private campgrounds are booked directly. Panther Lake Camping Resort, Fla-Net Park, and The Great Divide Campground, LLC all take reservations through their own websites or by phone. Camp Wyanokie handles bookings through its own site as well, and RV renters should note that the property is rustic only and cannot accommodate RVs or provide running water, toilets, or electricity.
