Camping near Rockaway, New Jersey
Rockaway sits in Morris County within the New Jersey Highlands, roughly 35 miles west of Manhattan and within easy reach of Sussex, Warren, and Passaic County parkland. RV travelers use the town as a base for lake camping, trout fishing on the Musconetcong and Rockaway rivers, and hiking in the Wyanokie Highlands. Interstate 80 runs just south of town, which shortens drive times to most nearby campgrounds to under 45 minutes.
Options run from full-service resorts to state-park tent loops. Panther Lake Camping Resort and The Great Divide Campground, LLC offer full hookups, pools, and structured family activities. Fla-Net Park is a smaller, closer alternative in Flanders. Stephens State Park provides a rustic, riverside setting for smaller rigs and tents, while Camp Wyanokie caters to hikers rather than motorized RVs.
Most commercial parks in the region operate on a seasonal schedule, with primary bookings concentrated between spring and mid-fall.
Things to do around Rockaway
Water recreation is the main draw. Panther Lake Camping Resort has a sand beach, swimming pool, boat rentals, and fishing, and its 45-acre lake supports kayaking and canoeing. The Great Divide Campground, LLC adds an Olympic-sized heated pool, a stocked fishing lake, free kayaks, and live music on weekends.
Hiking is strong nearby. Stephens State Park features trout fishing on the Musconetcong River, picnic areas along the river, and roughly six miles of marked trails used for hiking, jogging, and mountain biking. Camp Wyanokie sits at the edge of the Wyanokie Highlands and connects to trails toward Wyanokie High Point and Norvin Green State Forest.
Families also visit nearby attractions in Jefferson and Sparta, including farms, mini-golf, and the shops at Rockaway Townsquare.

The camping season in northern New Jersey is compressed. Panther Lake Camping Resort operates from April 15 through October 31, and The Great Divide Campground opens May 1 and runs into mid-October. Stephens State Park is open seasonally from April 1 to October 31, with 39 tent and small-trailer sites and a maximum trailer length of 40 feet.
Late spring brings dogwood bloom, trout stocking on the Musconetcong, and cool nights that still call for heat in the RV. Summer is peak season: humidity climbs, thunderstorms are common in the afternoon, and lake campgrounds fill on weekends. Bug pressure from mosquitoes, ticks, and midges is highest from June through August.
Fall is the strongest window for RV travel. Foliage in the Highlands typically peaks in mid to late October, temperatures are comfortable, and mid-week availability improves after Labor Day. Winter camping is not offered at the major private parks near Rockaway.

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 campgrounds near Rockaway
Private resorts take reservations directly. Panther Lake Camping Resort and The Great Divide Campground, LLC both accept phone and online bookings and release summer weekends early; holiday weekends around Memorial Day, July 4, and Labor Day can sell out several months ahead. Fla-Net Park books directly through the campground office.
Stephens State Park uses the New Jersey state reservation system, with online bookings at camping.nj.gov. Sites are limited to tents and small trailers, so it is worth checking site dimensions and the 40-foot trailer cap before booking.
Camp Wyanokie is a rustic, group-oriented site and requires advance contact rather than a public online portal. Confirm rig length limits, hookup type, and pet rules before arrival.
What to expect on arrival
Sites near Rockaway are wooded and often sloped, so leveling blocks are useful. Full hookups are common at private resorts but not universal; state park sites are tent and small-trailer oriented with no electric or sewer at the site.
Cell service can be spotty in wooded pockets of the Highlands, with more reliable coverage near main campground buildings and pools. Plan on downloading maps and reservations before arrival. Bear-aware food storage is required across the Highlands, and firewood generally must be purchased on site to limit invasive pests.
Expect enforced quiet hours at both state and private parks, active weekend programming at family resorts, and stricter tent-focused rules in the state park loops.
