Camping near Union, New Jersey
Union sits in the densely developed Route 22 corridor of northern New Jersey, roughly 20 miles from Midtown Manhattan and within reach of both coastal state parks and the Highlands. RV renters basing a trip here trade wooded seclusion for access: the region has few campgrounds inside the immediate suburbs, but several viable options sit within an hour's drive in three distinct directions.
To the east, Liberty Harbor RV Park offers RV sites in Jersey City close to Manhattan ferries, and Floyd Bennett Field within Gateway National Recreation Area offers tent sites and RV parking on Jamaica Bay in Brooklyn. West and north, Camp Wyanokie and Fla-Net Park sit in the Highlands and Morris County.
South toward the shore, Turkey Swamp Park in Freehold Township provides a county-run family campground with electric sites, modern restrooms, and a dump station. Between them, these five options cover urban stopovers, rustic tenting, full-hookup RV stays, and traditional family camping.
Things to do near Union
Union puts renters within easy reach of Manhattan, the Jersey Shore, and the northern Highlands. From Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City, ferries to Lower Manhattan run within walking distance, making car-free NYC days practical for renters who prefer not to drive into the city.
For outdoor recreation, Floyd Bennett Field has hiking trails, historic airplane hangars, a recreation complex with bike rentals, and an outdoor archery range with 8 to 10 targets. Turkey Swamp Park itself has four playgrounds, a 17-acre lake for boating and fishing with rental boats available, 8 miles of trails, open playfields, and large-group picnic facilities.
Camp Wyanokie sits at the edge of Norvin Green State Forest surrounding a five-acre lake, with lake shores and streams to explore for fish, tadpoles, and salamanders, though no swimming or watercraft are allowed.

The camping calendar around Union splits cleanly between year-round urban parks and seasonal outdoor sites. Liberty Harbor RV Park operates year-round and accepts late arrivals, which makes it a default choice for shoulder-season and winter trips into the city. Floyd Bennett Field has historically offered year-round camping in Gateway, though current concessionaire seasons at Gateway campgrounds typically run from Memorial Day weekend into fall.
County campgrounds run on a warm-weather schedule. The Turkey Swamp Park family campground opens April 1 and closes November 15, with 64 wooded campsites, electrical service, drinking water, a self-serve dump station, modern restrooms with hot showers and laundry, fire rings, picnic tables, and a playground.
Summer weekends fill fastest at family sites. Peak demand tracks Memorial Day through Labor Day, with fall foliage weekends in October pulling a second wave. Winter travel is essentially limited to the Jersey City park, since northern New Jersey routinely sees snow from December through March.

Loved our time in the Hotel Vroom! Would book again!
Emily G. - Jul 2026
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
Christina W. - Sep 2024
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!
Gina N. - Aug 2026
We had an amazing experience renting this camper van for the weekend! The van was clean, comfortable, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. It easily carried all of our gear, including a cooler and fishing poles, with plenty of room to spare. It truly had all the comforts of home—and more. From the kitchen essentials to the camping accessories, everything was provided, making our trip easy and enjoyable. Mark, the owner, was fantastic to work with. He took the time to thoroughly show us how to operate the van and explained all of its features and accessories before we left. His attention to detail and willingness to answer our questions made us feel confident and well prepared for our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better rental experience. If you’re looking for a well-equipped camper van and an owner who genuinely cares about his renters, we highly recommend renting from Mark. We would definitely rent from him again!

How to book campgrounds near Union
Reservation systems differ by operator. Reservations for the Floyd Bennett Field campground (listed as Camp Gateway Brooklyn) are made online at recreation.gov, with bookings available up to six months in advance; walk-ups are possible but not guaranteed.
Turkey Swamp Park reservations are available online or by calling the campground office at 732-462-7286, and reservations are accepted after January 1 for that year. Reservations require a two-night minimum on weekends (Friday and Saturday), while one-night reservations are allowed Sunday through Thursday. Of the 64 wooded family campsites, 52 are reservable and 12 are first-come, first-served.
Liberty Harbor takes reservations directly with the park. Camp Wyanokie offers rustic tent camping only, with no RVs accommodated, and reservations are handled through its partner Campspot via the camp website.
What to expect at area campgrounds
Expectations should match the campground type. Liberty Harbor caters to all RV types with electric and water hookups, pull-through sites for larger rigs, a dump station, modern restrooms and showers, laundry, and Wi-Fi, but the property functions as a paved lot with hookups rather than a traditional campground, and sites are close together with minimal privacy.
Fla-Net Park in Flanders accommodates larger rigs with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, plus restrooms with showers, a dump station, and Wi-Fi, and offers a pool and playground area for families.
Camp Wyanokie has no RV accommodations and no running water, toilets, electricity, or Wi-Fi, offering a five-acre lake, hiking trails, fire pits, charcoal grills, and two latrines. Turkey Swamp offers a middle ground: wooded pull-through sites with electrical service and modern bathhouses inside a 2,388-acre county park.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Union, NJ
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Union, NJ?
An RV rental in Union is often more affordable than booking a hotel plus a car for the same trip. On RVezy you'll typically find travel trailers from about $90 to $160 per night, campervan rentals around $130 to $220, and larger Class A or Class C motorhome rentals between $185 and $350 per night. Hosts set their own pricing, so you can filter by price range to find a cheap RV rental in Union that still fits your group. Booking midweek or in the shoulder season (April to early June, or September to October) can save you 20 to 30% compared to peak summer weekends along the Jersey Shore.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Union%2C%20New%20JerseyWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Union, New Jersey?
Good news: your everyday New Jersey driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Union. No commercial driver's license (CDL) or special RV endorsement is required for any motorhome or travel trailer you'll find on RVezy, even the big Class A rigs. You'll need to be at least 25 years old, and RVezy verifies your ID securely through the platform when you book. Visiting from abroad? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country's auto association before you fly in and you're all set. Most first-timers are surprised how simple the process is, you book online, upload your license, and you're ready to hit the Garden State Parkway.
nj.gov/mvc/license/dlinfo.htmIs the RV rental protected if something happens during my trip?
Yes, every RVezy booking in Union includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can drive off feeling confident. The protection plan covers accidental damage to the vehicle during your rental, and you choose your level of coverage at checkout, so you can pick what feels right for your trip. It gives you real financial peace of mind whether you're cruising I-78 toward the Poconos or parked at a campground in High Point State Park. For first-time renters, this built-in protection is one of the biggest reasons new guests feel comfortable booking an RV rental in Union.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat is the cancellation policy if my plans change?
Booking an RV rental in Union is low-risk because RVezy sets the cancellation policy for every reservation, not the individual host. There's a money-back grace period right after booking, and the policy outlines how refunds work based on how far out you cancel. Because the exact refund depends on your timing and circumstances, the easiest move is to review the full policy on RVezy's Help Center and reach out to RVezy support if your plans shift. Lock in your dates early for summer Jersey Shore weekends, then relax knowing you have flexibility built in.
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 Union?
Yes, you'll find plenty of pet-friendly RV rental options in Union. Just use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) right in their listing. New Jersey state parks allow leashed pets at designated campsites at Cheesequake State Park (about 25 minutes south of Union), Voorhees State Park, and Stephens State Park, with proof of rabies vaccination required. Closer to home, the Watchung Reservation has miles of leashed-dog trails for a pre-trip walk. Message the host through RVezy before booking to confirm any pet cleaning fee so there are no surprises at checkout.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/policies-and-regulations/Can the RV be delivered to my campground or driveway in Union?
Yes, RV delivery in Union is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers who'd rather skip driving a big rig through Route 22 traffic. Many local hosts will deliver the motorhome or travel trailer directly to your driveway or a nearby campground, then set it up, level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through how everything works. Use the Delivery filter when you search to see hosts who offer this, along with their delivery radius and fee. Delivery makes a travel trailer rental especially easy since you won't need a tow vehicle of your own.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsHow does mileage work and how far can I travel from Union, NJ?
You've got tons of range from Union, NJ, and many RVezy hosts offer generous daily mileage allowances or even RV rental with unlimited mileage packages, so you can plan a real road trip without watching the odometer. From Union you can reach the Pocono Mountains in about 90 minutes (75 miles), the Jersey Shore at Asbury Park in about an hour (45 miles), the Catskills in around 2.5 hours (120 miles), Lake George in roughly 4.5 hours (240 miles), and Acadia National Park in about 9 hours. Pro tip: check the mileage included on the listing page, then ask the host to add extra miles upfront, it's almost always cheaper than paying overage fees later.
state.nj.us/transportation/about/road/Where are the best campgrounds near Union, NJ?
You're spoiled for choice for RV camping near Union. A few of the best campgrounds near Union include Cheesequake State Park in Matawan (about 30 minutes south, with wooded sites and beach access), Round Valley Recreation Area in Lebanon (about an hour west, with reservoir swimming), Spruce Run Recreation Area in Clinton (about an hour west, with water and electric sites), Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City (about 25 minutes east, with skyline views of Manhattan), and Worthington State Forest along the Delaware Water Gap (about 75 minutes northwest). New Jersey state park campsites can be reserved up to 12 months in advance through the NJ DEP reservation portal, and they book fast for summer holiday weekends.
newjerseystateparks.reserveamerica.com/What's the best time of year for a Union, NJ RV trip?
Late spring through mid-fall is the sweet spot for any Union, NJ RV trip. May and June bring warm days in the 70s°F with everything green and blooming, July and August are peak beach and lake season with highs in the mid-80s°F (great for the Jersey Shore but also the busiest), and September into mid-October delivers cooler nights, fewer crowds, and unbelievable fall foliage across the Delaware Water Gap. Winters can dip into the 20s°F and many NJ state park campgrounds close from November through March, so summer and shoulder seasons are your best bet. Pro tip: late September is the local insider's favorite, shore towns are quiet, leaves are turning, and rental prices drop.
weather.gov/phi/I've never driven an RV before, how does the handoff work?
You're going to do great, and you won't be left guessing. Every RVezy host in Union provides a full orientation at pickup (or at delivery), walking you through how to drive, level, hook up water and power, use the generator, operate the awning, and dump the tanks. They'll answer every question, no matter how basic, and you can message them through RVezy anytime during your trip. First time renting an RV? Many Union hosts specialize in beginner-friendly Class C motorhomes and travel trailers that drive much like a large van or pickup truck. Do your first practice drive on a quiet Sunday morning along a local road before heading onto the Parkway, you'll feel confident within 20 minutes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if the RV breaks down during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy rental in Union includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so if you get a flat on the New Jersey Turnpike, your battery dies at a campground in the Poconos, or you need a tow, one phone call gets help dispatched. The RVezy support team is also available before, during, and after your trip to help sort anything out with your host. Your host is usually a quick message away too, since they know the rig better than anyone. Save the roadside number in your phone the morning of pickup so it's ready before you ever pull onto Route 78.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Union, NJ RV rental to other states or into Canada?
Yes, an RV road trip from Union opens up the whole Northeast. Interstate travel within the US is allowed on RVezy rentals, so you can roll up to the Adirondacks, drive to Acadia in Maine, head south to Virginia's Shenandoah, or loop through Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Cross-border travel into Canada (think Niagara Falls or Montreal) may be allowed depending on the host and insurance, so message the host directly from the listing page to confirm before booking. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend there. Popular routes from Union include the Delaware Water Gap loop, the Finger Lakes, and a coastal Maine run.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Union, NJ RV trip?
Fuel is usually the biggest variable cost, but it's easy to plan for. Gas prices in the Union, NJ area typically run around $3.10 to $3.60 per gallon (New Jersey is famously one of the cheaper Northeast states for gas, and remember, attendants pump it for you, it's the law). A campervan rental in Union gets roughly 18-22 mpg, a Class C motorhome rental in Union averages 10-14 mpg, and a Class A gets about 7-10 mpg. For a 300-mile weekend in a Class C, budget around $90-$120 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in New Jersey before crossing into Pennsylvania or New York, where prices are usually 20-40 cents higher per gallon.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Union?
For the smoothest trip, book your campground as soon as your RV is confirmed. New Jersey state park campgrounds like Cheesequake, Stokes State Forest, and Worthington open reservations up to 12 months in advance through the NJ state park reservation portal, and prime summer weekends (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day) often fill within hours of opening. Private parks like Pleasant Acres Farm typically book 2 to 4 months ahead for peak season. Shoulder-season trips in May or late September are much easier, often 2 to 3 weeks of lead time is enough. If your first choice is full, check for midweek arrivals (Sunday to Wednesday), availability is dramatically better and rates can drop too.
newjerseystateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are driving conditions like in and around Union, NJ?
Driving an RV around Union is very manageable once you know a couple of local quirks. Union sits near Route 22, the Garden State Parkway, and I-78, all of which are accessible to personal RVs with standard lane widths. The big thing to know: the Garden State Parkway prohibits commercial vehicles and has some lower-clearance bridges, but most personal RVs are permitted on the main roadway. Stick to I-78, I-287, and the NJ Turnpike for the tallest rigs. Avoid the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels in RVs because propane is prohibited. Leave Union before 6:30 a.m. or after 10 a.m. to dodge rush hour traffic.
state.nj.us/transportation/commuter/roads/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Union?
Most campgrounds near Union offer everything you need for a comfortable stay. Private parks like Pleasant Acres Farm in Sussex typically have full hookups (water, 30/50-amp electric, sewer), dump stations, hot showers, laundry, Wi-Fi, and camp stores. New Jersey state parks like Cheesequake and Worthington offer more rustic sites with water spigots, restrooms, and dump stations, but generally no individual sewer or electric hookups (Spruce Run is a notable exception with water and electric sites). Most parks have potable water fills near the entrance and a centralized dump station. If you want full hookups for an air-conditioned summer stay, target private RV resorts; if you want quiet woods and a campfire, go state park.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/What's actually inside a typical RV rental in Union, NJ?
You'll feel right at home. A typical motorhome rental in Union comes fully equipped with real beds (queen or king in the main bedroom, plus convertible dinettes and bunks), a kitchen with a fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, and sink, a private bathroom with toilet and shower, air conditioning, heat, and seatbelted seating for travel. Most Class C and Class A rigs include a TV, and many hosts offer Wi-Fi hotspots, onboard generators, outdoor speakers, and even bikes as add-ons. Travel trailer rentals in Union have the same comforts minus the cab. Check the listing's Sleeps count and floor plan photos carefully, an RV that sleeps 6 on paper might mean two kids in a tight bunk.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Union%2C%20New%20JerseyWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts in Union offer add-ons that make your trip smoother. Common extras include generator usage packages (often $3 to $5 per hour after a free daily allowance), camping kits with linens, dishes, and chairs ($50 to $100 for the trip), bikes, kayaks, propane refills, dump and clean services ($75 to $150 to skip the dirty work), and pet fees. Pickup is usually at the host's home in or near Union, and RV delivery in Union is widely available, sometimes free within a short radius and sometimes priced per mile beyond. Mileage policies vary: 100 miles per day is common, with unlimited mileage available on some listings. Bundle the camping kit and dump service for your first trip, it's worth every dollar.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Union%2C%20New%20JerseyHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and secure. When you book an RV rental in Union on RVezy, you pay through the platform with a credit or debit card, never directly to the host in cash. You'll see the full breakdown upfront: nightly rate, RVezy service fee, your chosen protection plan, taxes, and any add-ons. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card a few days before your trip and released after a successful return with no damage or extra cleaning needed. Take timestamped photos and a quick walkaround video at both pickup and drop-off, it's the single easiest way to make sure your deposit comes back fast and in full.
