Campgrounds near Paramus
Paramus sits in Bergen County, New Jersey, roughly 20 miles from midtown Manhattan. It has no campground inside town limits, but RV travellers use it as a base for a cluster of parks within an hour's drive across northern New Jersey and the lower Hudson Valley.
The closest full-hookup option is Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City, positioned as one of the closest RV parks to New York City, with electrical service, water hookups, and pull-through sites. For state-park camping, Beaver Pond Campground in Harriman State Park has no electrical hookups and is best suited to tent campers, but it can accommodate smaller RVs, trailers, and campervans up to 30 feet long. Wawayanda State Park covers a large tract in Sussex and Passaic counties with a lakeside campground.
For tent-only rustic stays, Camp Wyanokie is a rustic tent and group campground in West Milford, reservation only, and cannot accommodate RVs. On the New York City side, Floyd Bennett Field in Gateway National Recreation Area offers tent and RV sites when the seasonal campground is operating, with restrooms and showers on site.
Things to do near Paramus
Paramus itself is known for shopping, but the surrounding parks carry the trip. Harriman State Park has more than 200 miles of trails ranging from easy to strenuous, 31 lakes, two beaches, and lake activities such as swimming, fishing, paddling, boating, ice fishing, and ice skating. Beaver Pond Campground adjoins the Lake Welch Recreation Area, which has a swimming beach, and connects to the wider Harriman trail network including sections of the Appalachian Trail.
Wawayanda State Park is built around a large lake with swimming, boating, and miles of trails, including the Stairway to Heaven section of the Appalachian Trail. Camp Wyanokie sits near Norvin Green State Forest, one of New Jersey's premier hiking areas, with additional trail options just minutes away.
From Liberty Harbor RV Park, travellers can leave the rig and reach Manhattan by ferry, light rail, or PATH train. Floyd Bennett Field has hiking and biking trails, historic aircraft in Hangar B, a kayak launch, and access to the Jamaica Bay shoreline.

Most campgrounds in this region run a spring-through-fall season. Wawayanda State Park camping typically runs April through October, and Beaver Pond Campground opens in mid-April for walk-in camping only for a couple of weeks, with the regular reserved season running from early May through mid-October. Floyd Bennett Field's campground operates on a seasonal basis roughly from late spring through early fall when open, while Liberty Harbor operates year-round.
Summer is peak. Weekends at Harriman and Wawayanda book out quickly because of proximity to New York City, and Harriman is a favored weekend getaway for New Yorkers, so weekend bookings should be made as far in advance as possible. Weekday sites are much easier to secure.
Spring and fall bring cooler nights, fewer bugs, and better availability. Fall foliage in the Highlands and lower Hudson Valley typically peaks in mid to late October. Winter camping in the area is limited to year-round private options like Liberty Harbor, since most state-park campgrounds are closed.

This is exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon! Jeff made things so easy and made things go smoothly for the rental. He even checked on us to make sure we had no problems or questions. I would recommend this rental for any type of occasion. Couldn’t ask for a more friendly person. Thank you

I accept the charges as followed. However I do not accept charge for 4 days. I only had the vehicle for 3 days. I'd like to dispute the 4th day charged for 250.00

How to book near Paramus
Reservation systems vary by operator. Beaver Pond Campground reservations are handled through the New York State Parks reservation system and can be made up to 9 months in advance, with the booking window opening at 8 AM on weekdays and 9 AM on weekends during the peak season. Wawayanda reservations are made through the New Jersey State Park Service online reservation portal.
Floyd Bennett Field reservations, when the campground is operating, are made online at recreation.gov. Camp Wyanokie handles availability and reservations by request through its operator. Liberty Harbor RV Park takes reservations by phone or through its website.
For summer weekends, book Harriman and Wawayanda the moment the reservation window opens. Weekday nights and shoulder-season dates are usually available closer in.
What to expect near Paramus
Expect a wide gap between the urban and backcountry options. Liberty Harbor RV Park is a basic but practical option in a prime location, essentially a paved lot with hookups rather than a traditional campground, with sites close together. The trade-off is skyline views and easy transit to Manhattan.
The state-park campgrounds are the opposite. Beaver Pond has 125 sites accommodating up to two tents and six people per site, with select sites for trailers or RVs up to 30 feet, picnic tables, fire rings with flip-top grills, comfort stations with showers, laundry, and a dump station, but no electrical hookups.
Camp Wyanokie campsites do not have running water, flush toilets, electricity, or WiFi, but the site has latrines, fire pits, and grills. Plan water and power accordingly. Black bears are present throughout the Highlands and Harriman area, so bear-aware food storage is required.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Paramus, NJ
How much does an RV rental in Paramus typically cost?
Good news: an RV rental in Paramus is more affordable than most people expect for the New York metro area. Travel trailers usually run $90 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes from about $175 to $300, and luxury Class A rigs $300 and up. Because hosts set their own pricing on RVezy, you can filter by your budget and find a cheap RV rental in Paramus that fits a weekend Catskills run or a longer Jersey Shore trip. Pro tip: booking midweek (Sunday through Thursday) or in the shoulder months of April, May, September and October can save you 20 to 30 percent compared to peak July weekends.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Paramus,%20New%20JerseyDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Paramus, NJ?
Great news for first-timers: New Jersey does not require a special license to drive a personal-use RV, so your regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Paramus. The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission only requires a Commercial Driver License for vehicles over 26,001 pounds GVWR, and virtually every Class B campervan, Class C motorhome, and travel trailer on RVezy falls well below that. RVezy approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and your ID is verified through the platform during booking. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit before your Paramus RV trip and you are ready to roll.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included when I book an RV rental in Paramus?
You can book with confidence: every RVezy booking in Paramus includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you are covered from pickup to drop-off. During checkout you choose the protection package that fits your trip (guests select the plan, not hosts), and it provides meaningful coverage for damage to the RV. Pro tip: take a few quick smartphone photos of the RV at pickup and drop-off. It is the easiest way to keep your security deposit refund process smooth on your New Jersey RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if my plans change after I book? Is there a cancellation policy?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy for every reservation, and there is a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your Paramus RV rental without worry. After that, your refund depends on how far ahead of the trip you cancel. The exact terms are clearly displayed on the RVezy website during checkout, before you confirm. Pro tip: book early to get the best rigs for your Paramus RV trip, life happens and the cancellation policy is designed to be fair.
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 Paramus?
Absolutely, plenty of furry travelers hit the road every weekend. Just use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to find a pet-friendly RV rental in Paramus, and your dog is welcome to come along. Hosts who allow pets note any specifics (size, breed, cleaning fee) right on the listing, and you can message them directly with questions before you book. Paramus and Bergen County have excellent pet-friendly outdoor spots too: Van Saun County Park has shaded walking loops, and Ramapo Valley County Reservation in nearby Mahwah offers off-leash hiking trails. High Point State Park (about 70 miles north) and the Delaware Water Gap also welcome leashed pets on most trails.
co.bergen.nj.us/parksCan the RV be delivered to me instead of picking it up?
Yes, RV delivery in Paramus is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it is a game-changer if you are new to RVing or just want to skip driving a big rig through Route 17 traffic. Many local hosts will deliver and set up your motorhome rental in Paramus right at your campground, a friend's driveway, or a tailgate spot near MetLife Stadium. Use the Delivery filter to see which hosts offer it, plus their delivery radius and per-mile fee. Pro tip: delivery to nearby campgrounds like Campgaw Mountain Reservation in Mahwah or Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City is common and well worth the convenience.
co.bergen.nj.us/bergen-county-parks/campgaw-mountain-reservationHow far can I drive on a Paramus RV trip without paying mileage overages?
Most hosts include a generous daily mileage allowance (typically 100 to 150 miles per day), and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage for longer trips. Each listing shows the exact mileage policy and the cost per extra mile (usually $0.35 to $0.50). From Paramus you can easily reach great destinations within those limits: the Delaware Water Gap is about 65 miles west, Bear Mountain State Park sits 35 miles north, Cape May on the Jersey Shore is around 165 miles south, and the Catskills are roughly 100 miles northwest. Pro tip: if you're planning a multi-stop RV road trip from Paramus, message hosts before booking and ask about a custom mileage package.
nps.gov/dewa/index.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Paramus to take my RV?
You're in luck: northern New Jersey and the surrounding region have some excellent campgrounds for RV camping near Paramus. Top picks include Campgaw Mountain Reservation in Mahwah (just 10 miles north, with basic sites in a forested setting), Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City (about 20 miles south with full hookups and Statue of Liberty views), Worthington State Forest in the Delaware Water Gap (65 miles west, riverside sites), High Point State Park (70 miles northwest, the highest elevation in NJ), and Beaver Pond Campground at Harriman State Park (35 miles north in New York). Pro tip: state park sites book through camping.nj.gov and fill up 2 to 3 months ahead for summer weekends.
dep.nj.gov/parksandforests/parks/campreserv.htmlWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from Paramus?
Paramus has four real seasons, and late spring through early fall is the sweet spot for RV camping. May through October offers daytime highs of roughly 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and the widest selection of open campgrounds across northern New Jersey. June delivers long daylight, July and August bring warm beach weather perfect for Jersey Shore runs, and September and October are a local favorite, with crisp air, fewer crowds, and beautiful foliage in the Ramapo Mountains and Delaware Water Gap. Winter rentals are available too, just confirm with your host that the RV has a furnace, heated tanks, and proper shore-power setup.
weather.gov/okx/I have never driven an RV before. Is renting in Paramus a good idea for first-timers?
Yes, and you are going to do great. First time renting an RV is easier than most people imagine: every RVezy host walks you through the rig at pickup, covering driving, leveling, hookups, awning, slide-outs, and tank dumping, so you leave feeling confident. For Paramus newbies, start with a smaller Class C motorhome or campervan rental in Paramus rather than a 35-foot Class A, and skip the busiest highways your first day. Pro tip: ask your host to deliver to your first campground (Campgaw Mountain or Liberty Harbor are easy first stops) so your only job is enjoying the trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if something goes wrong with the RV on my trip?
You are never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on the Garden State Parkway, a dead battery, or a tow out of a tight Catskills road is a quick phone call away. Your host is also a direct resource and most respond quickly to messages about the generator, awning, or appliances. RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: save the roadside assistance number to your phone before pulling out of Paramus, it takes 30 seconds and brings serious peace of mind.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my RV rental from Paramus across state lines or into Canada?
Absolutely, and most Paramus RV trips do cross state lines, the New York border is only 8 miles north. Interstate travel within the U.S. is covered, so popular routes like Paramus to the Adirondacks, Acadia National Park in Maine, Niagara Falls, or down to Virginia Beach are all on the table. Cross-border travel to Canada depends on the host and the RV's insurance, so message the host directly from the listing to confirm before booking. One firm rule: travel to Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because coverage does not extend there. Pro tip: a 4 to 5 day trip from Paramus up to Vermont's Green Mountains is unforgettable in October.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a Paramus RV trip?
Fuel is the biggest variable cost, but it's easy to plan for. New Jersey gas prices in the New York metro area typically run around $3.80 to $4.20 per gallon for regular unleaded in 2026 (NJ is one of the few states with full-service pumps, so no pumping required). Expect roughly 8 to 10 miles per gallon (MPG) for a Class A, 10 to 14 MPG for a Class C, 15 to 20 MPG for a Class B campervan, and 12 to 16 MPG for a truck towing a travel trailer. A 300-mile round trip from Paramus to the Delaware Water Gap and back in a Class C will run roughly $100 to $130 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in Paramus before heading to NY or PA, NJ gas is usually 20 to 40 cents cheaper per gallon.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground for my Paramus RV trip?
For peak summer weekends, book your campsite as soon as your RVezy reservation is confirmed. New Jersey state parks open reservations up to 12 months ahead at camping.nj.gov, and prime spots at High Point, Worthington, and Stokes State Forest fill 2 to 3 months out for July and August. New York state parks (Harriman, Bear Mountain area) use ReserveAmerica.com with a similar window. Private parks like Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City and Campgaw Mountain Reservation in Mahwah also take reservations well in advance. Pro tip: weekday arrivals (Sunday through Wednesday) are far easier to book and often run 15 to 25 percent cheaper than Friday and Saturday nights.
dep.nj.gov/parksandforests/parks/campreserv.htmlWhat are local driving conditions like in and around Paramus?
Paramus sits at the busy intersection of Route 17 and Route 4, so the smart move is to time your departures outside rush hours (avoid 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. on weekdays). Once you're north on the Garden State Parkway or west on I-80, RV driving gets much easier. Watch for low clearances: the Palisades Interstate Parkway prohibits commercial vehicles and many RVs, so use I-95 or the GSP instead. Most RVs are 11 to 13 feet tall, so a GPS with RV-specific routing is gold. Pro tip: locals know that taking Route 17 north to I-287 west is the cleanest escape from Paramus toward the Delaware Water Gap and the Poconos.
state.nj.us/transportation/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Paramus?
Local campgrounds offer a real range, so pick based on the experience you want. Full-hookup parks like Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City have 30/50-amp electric, water, sewer at the site, a dump station, hot showers, and laundry. New Jersey state park campgrounds (High Point, Stokes, Worthington) generally offer electric and water at many sites, central dump stations, potable water fill, and clean bathhouses, but no sewer at the site. Where to dump and fill water near Paramus: Liberty Harbor has both on-site, and most NJ state parks have free dump stations for registered campers. Pro tip: empty your black tank when it's two-thirds full, not before, the extra water helps everything flush cleanly.
dep.nj.gov/parksandforests/parks/campreserv.htmlWhat's inside a typical RV rental in Paramus?
You'll be surprised how loaded modern RVs are. Most rentals in Paramus come with a full kitchen (fridge, freezer, microwave, stovetop, sink), a bathroom with shower and toilet, real beds for 2 to 8 people, a dinette that converts to sleeping space, climate control (AC and furnace), and seatbelted seating for travel. Many include a flat-screen TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, and a generator or solar setup for off-grid stays. WiFi varies by RV, so check the listing or plan to use your phone hotspot. Pro tip: filter by Sleeps count and amenities like generator and outdoor kitchen to narrow down, then message the host about anything specific like a Blackstone griddle or kid-friendly bunk setup.
nps.gov/dewa/planyourvisit/camping.htmWhat add-ons can I get with my Paramus RV rental, and how does pickup work?
Hosts offer all kinds of helpful add-ons to make your trip easier: linens and bedding packages ($30 to $75), kitchen kits ($20 to $50), camp chairs and outdoor rugs, portable generators, bike racks, propane refills, and pet packages. Many also offer delivery and setup for a per-mile fee, which is huge if you're nervous about driving. For pickup, you'll meet your host at the agreed location (often their driveway in Paramus, Ridgewood, Mahwah, or Fair Lawn), do a 30 to 45 minute walkthrough, then hit the road. Pro tip: ask about a pre-stocked fridge or pre-filled propane tanks, saving that first errand run lets you head straight to the Catskills or Jersey Shore.
visitnj.org/How does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental in Paramus?
Payment is simple and secure. You pay through RVezy at booking with a credit or debit card, and the platform holds the funds until your trip is confirmed, so there is no cash exchanged with the host. A refundable security deposit (typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV) is placed on hold a few days before pickup and released after drop-off, assuming the rig comes back in good shape with the agreed fuel and tank levels. Pro tip to keep your security deposit refund smooth: do a quick walkaround video at pickup and drop-off, return the RV on time, refill propane and fuel as agreed, and dump the tanks if your host requires it.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksI am nervous about driving an RV through North Jersey traffic. What is the easiest option?
You have a great workaround: book a host who offers RV delivery in Paramus, and you will not have to drive through the Route 4 and Route 17 corridor at all. Many local hosts will deliver your motorhome rental in Paramus to your campground at Campgaw Mountain (10 miles), Liberty Harbor RV Park (20 miles), Harriman State Park (35 miles), or even a friend's driveway, set it up, and walk you through everything. From Paramus you are also about 90 minutes from the Delaware Water Gap and 75 minutes from the Catskills foothills. Pro tip: combine delivery with a campervan rental in Paramus for a small, easy-to-drive rig perfect for first-timers.
