Campgrounds near Westwood, New Jersey
Westwood sits in Bergen County in northeastern New Jersey, roughly 20 miles from Manhattan. The town itself has no campgrounds, but it makes a practical base for RV travelers who want to reach both New York City attractions and the wooded parks of the New Jersey Highlands and Lower Hudson Valley within an hour's drive.
The closest RV-friendly option is Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City, a waterfront park with restrooms, showers, laundry, and views of the New York skyline from the sites. For state-park camping, Beaver Pond Campground in Harriman State Park offers sites for up to two tents and six persons, with select sites accommodating a trailer or RV up to 30 ft long, plus picnic tables, fire rings, and shared full-service bathrooms.
Further options include Camp Wyanokie in West Milford, Wawayanda State Park in the northern Highlands, and Floyd Bennett Field within Gateway National Recreation Area in Brooklyn. Together they span urban sites, rustic tent sites, and wooded state-park settings.
Things to do near Westwood
Trip planning from Westwood usually splits between city sightseeing and Highlands hiking. From Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City, ferries and the PATH train put the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Lower Manhattan within easy reach.
For outdoor days, Harriman State Park sits in Rockland and Orange counties north of New York City and features 31 lakes, multiple streams, public camping, and over 200 miles of trails maintained by New York-New Jersey Trail Conference volunteers. Wawayanda State Park has over 60 miles of well-marked trails plus a 19.6-mile section of the Appalachian Trail, and Camp Wyanokie connects directly to the Norvin Green State Forest trail network.
Families can also mix beach time at Lake Welch near Beaver Pond, kayaking and archery at Floyd Bennett Field, and fishing on Wawayanda Lake.

Most campgrounds in the region are seasonal. Wawayanda State Park campsites are open April 1 through October 31, and Beaver Pond in Harriman follows a similar spring-through-fall window. Camp Gateway at Floyd Bennett Field is open April through October with tent and RV camping. Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City operates year-round, which makes it the practical winter option.
Spring and early summer bring reliable trail conditions and lake swimming once lifeguards are on duty at Lake Welch. July and August are the busiest booking months and also among the wettest, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Spring and fall offer mild weather and full foliage; summer delivers warm days for water activities but can be crowded, especially on weekends.
Winter closes most tent and rustic sites. Wawayanda sits at 1,140 feet above sea level and receives significant snow accumulations, with cross-country skiing permitted on designated trails, but overnight camping for RV travelers shifts to the urban park during the cold months.

How to book campsites near Westwood
Reservation systems differ by park. Beaver Pond in Harriman State Park is booked online or through the ReserveAmerica Call Center at 1-800-456-2267, with walk-ins permitted on campsites only, and reservations can be made up to 9 months in advance. Wawayanda State Park uses the New Jersey system at camping.nj.gov, and its four group sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and a composting restroom.
Floyd Bennett Field (Camp Gateway) reservations are handled online at Recreation.gov. Liberty Harbor RV Park takes bookings directly through its own site. Camp Wyanokie handles campsite and picnic-pavilion reservations through its own online form.
For summer weekends and holidays, book several months out. Midweek stays are far easier to secure at both Beaver Pond and Floyd Bennett Field.
What to expect on-site
Hookup expectations vary widely. Liberty Harbor RV Park offers electric and water hookups, restrooms, showers, and laundry, but sites are paved lots with limited green space. Beaver Pond has no electrical hookups for trailers, though the campground has comfort stations, showers, laundry, and a dump station. Floyd Bennett Field has no water, electric, or sewer hookups, but a dump station and restrooms with showers are available.
Rustic sites are the norm inland. Camp Wyanokie has more than 10 rustic campsites plus a covered picnic pavilion, two latrines, and a stocked lake, with no RV accommodations and no running water, electricity, or sewer at sites. Wawayanda has no water at campsites and no shower facilities; water must be carried from the main office.
Bear activity is common in Harriman and the Highlands, so food storage rules apply. Pets are not permitted at Beaver Pond.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Westwood, NJ
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Westwood, NJ?
An RV rental in Westwood, NJ fits a wide range of budgets. On RVezy, you'll generally find travel trailers starting around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes around $175 to $275 per night, and larger Class A motorhomes from about $250 to $400 per night. Pricing depends on season, RV age, and add-ons like generators or kitchen kits. To find a cheap RV rental in Westwood, target shoulder months like late April or October when Bergen County demand cools off, book midweek, and use the price filter on RVezy. Pro tip: many local hosts offer weekly discounts of 10 to 20 percent, so a 7-day Catskills or Cape Cod loop often costs less per night than a long weekend.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Westwood%2C%20New%20JerseyDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Westwood, New Jersey?
Great news for first-time renters: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Westwood. New Jersey does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any special endorsement to operate a motorhome or tow a travel trailer for personal use, even for big Class A rigs. On RVezy, approved drivers are generally 25 or older with a valid driver's license, and ID verification happens right inside the platform during booking. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country along with your home license. That's it, no extra paperwork, no DMV trip, just pick up the keys and start your New Jersey RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs there protection and roadside assistance included with my Westwood RV rental?
Yes, and this is one of the best reasons to rent an RV in Westwood, NJ through RVezy. Every booking includes a renter protection plan that covers damage to the vehicle, plus 24/7 roadside assistance for things like flat tires, lockouts, battery jumps, and towing. During checkout you'll choose the protection level that fits your trip, so you can drive away with real peace of mind. This isn't traditional auto insurance, but it provides meaningful financial coverage so a small mishap on the Palisades Parkway doesn't derail your vacation. Pro tip: take 5 minutes of walkthrough photos at pickup and dropoff, and you'll breeze through any post-trip questions.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Westwood RV rental?
Booking is low-risk. RVezy (not the host) sets the cancellation policy, and there's a money-back grace period right after you book in case plans change quickly. After that, your refund depends on how far out you cancel and any extraordinary circumstances like severe weather, which is helpful in the Northeast where a nor'easter can occasionally roll through. You'll see the full cancellation terms before you confirm payment, so there are no surprises. Pro tip: if a hurricane remnant or major snowstorm is in the forecast for the New Jersey/New York metro, contact RVezy support right away and they'll help you find the best path forward, including rebooking your Westwood RV trip for better weather.
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 Westwood?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental in Westwood is easy to find on RVezy, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see listings where dogs (and sometimes cats) are welcome. Many Bergen County hosts even leave a bowl, leash hook, or welcome treats. Once you're on the road, your pup will love nearby spots like Saddle River County Park (just minutes from downtown Westwood), Campgaw Mountain Reservation in Mahwah, and the dog-friendly trails at Harriman State Park across the New York border. Pro tip: message the host in advance about pet fees and any size limits, and pack a bed your dog already knows, that familiar scent keeps them calm on their first night sleeping in a motorhome rental Westwood travelers love.
co.bergen.nj.us/bergen-county-parksCan the RV be delivered to me in Westwood instead of picking it up?
Yes, RV delivery in Westwood is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers who'd rather skip driving a 30-foot rig through Bergen County traffic. Many local hosts will deliver the RV directly to your driveway, a nearby campground like Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort in Sussex, or to a trailhead in Harriman State Park, then set up the hookups, level the rig, and walk you through every system. Delivery fees are typically charged per mile beyond a free radius, so it pays to ask the host upfront. Pro tip: filter listings by Delivery on RVezy and message two or three hosts at once, you'll often get a better delivery quote when hosts know you're comparing.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Westwood%2C%20New%20JerseyHow does mileage work, and how far can I realistically drive from Westwood?
Most Westwood hosts include a set number of free miles per night (commonly 100 to 150) with a small per-mile fee after that, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, just use the filter on RVezy. From Westwood you're well positioned for an RV road trip from Westwood in almost any direction: the Jersey Shore (Asbury Park) is about 75 miles south, the Delaware Water Gap is about 75 miles west, the Catskills are around 100 miles north, Lake George is roughly 220 miles, and Acadia National Park is about 480 miles for the ambitious. Pro tip: estimate your route on Google Maps before booking and ask the host for a custom mileage package, many will bundle extra miles cheaper than the per-mile rate.
nps.gov/dewa/planyourvisit/directions.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Westwood, NJ?
You've got excellent options for RV camping near Westwood within an easy drive. Beaver Pond Campground in Harriman State Park (about 25 miles north, just over the NY line) offers wooded sites near Lake Welch with a dump station, showers, and laundry, suitable for many RVs. Black Bear Campground in Florida, NY (about 30 miles) has full hookups including 50-amp service. Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort in Sussex (about 45 miles) is a family favorite with a pool and pond. Worthington State Forest along the Delaware River (about 75 miles) has scenic riverfront sites. Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City offers an urban basecamp with Manhattan skyline views. Pro tip: book Harriman as soon as the 9-month reservation window opens for prime summer weekends.
parks.ny.gov/camping/When is the best time of year for an RV trip from Westwood?
Late spring and fall are the sweet spots for an RV rental in New Jersey out of Westwood. May and June bring blooming mountain laurel and 60 to 80°F days, ideal for the Delaware Water Gap. July and August are warm (often 80 to 90°F with humidity) and great for the Jersey Shore, but campgrounds book early. September and October are often the most enjoyable, with mild 50 to 75°F days, crisp nights, and Catskills foliage typically peaking around the second and third week of October. Winter (December to March) drops to 20 to 40°F, so look for a four-season rig with a heated underbelly if you go. Pro tip: book a Columbus Day weekend leaf-peeping trip in Harriman State Park for unforgettable color.
weather.gov/okx/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay?
You'll do great. First time renting an RV is genuinely easier than most people expect, especially with a Class C motorhome or campervan in the 22 to 28 foot range. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving, propane, water, slide-outs, and dumping, and you can message them anytime during the trip with questions. From Westwood, avoid your first drive through Manhattan or the George Washington Bridge during rush hour; instead, head west on I-287 toward the quieter Skylands region for an easy break-in. Pro tip: book a campervan or Class B for your first trip, they drive almost like a tall minivan and fit in standard parking spaces, perfect confidence-builders before you graduate to a bigger rig.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat if something breaks down during my trip?
Take a deep breath, you're covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on Route 17, a dead battery at a Catskills campground, or an unexpected tow is just a phone call away. You can also message your host directly from the RVezy app for quick troubleshooting (they know their RV better than anyone), and RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after the trip. Pro tip: snap a photo of the RV's VIN, plate, and propane setup before leaving Westwood, and save the roadside number to your phone's favorites, you'll be glad it's there if you ever need it.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take a Westwood RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is normal for an RV rental in Westwood, NJ, and most renters cross into New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Vermont, or Maine without issue. Popular routes include Westwood to the Adirondacks, the Cape Cod National Seashore, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Travel into Canada (Niagara Falls, Montreal, Quebec City) is allowed on many RVezy listings, but you must confirm with the host before booking so they can confirm insurance coverage. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. Pro tip: bring your passport even for a Niagara day trip, and share your full itinerary with the host upfront so cross-border details are handled before you roll out of Westwood.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a Westwood RV trip?
Fuel is usually the biggest variable, but easy to plan for. Class B campervans get about 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes around 8 to 12 MPG, and big Class A rigs roughly 6 to 10 MPG. New Jersey gas prices typically run a bit below the regional average (and remember, all NJ stations are full-service, you stay in the rig). For a 3-night, 400-mile round trip from Westwood to the Delaware Water Gap in a Class C at 10 MPG with gas around $3.30, you're looking at roughly $130 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in New Jersey before crossing into New York or Pennsylvania, NJ fuel taxes keep prices noticeably lower, often saving 20 to 40 cents per gallon.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Westwood?
Earlier is better for the best campgrounds near Westwood. Harriman State Park's Beaver Pond Campground opens reservations 9 months in advance through ReserveAmerica, and prime summer weekends book within days. New Jersey state forests like Worthington, Stokes, and High Point reserve through the NJ DEP Outdoors portal up to about 6 months ahead. Private parks like Black Bear Campground and Pleasant Acres can usually be booked 2 to 4 weeks out, though July 4th and Labor Day fill fast. Pro tip: if Beaver Pond is full, check in the afternoon for same-day cancellations, New York State Parks releases unclaimed sites, and you can sometimes snag a last-minute Harriman stay for your Westwood RV trip.
newjerseystateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are local driving conditions like around Westwood?
Westwood sits in northern Bergen County with easy access to the Garden State Parkway, Route 17, and I-287, plus you're only about 25 miles from Manhattan, so the smart move is timing. Avoid the George Washington Bridge and Lincoln Tunnel between 6 to 10 a.m. and 3 to 7 p.m. on weekdays. The Palisades Interstate Parkway prohibits commercial vehicles but is fine for personal RVs under 10,000 lbs, and it's the scenic route to Harriman. Heads up on low clearances: many older NJ parkway overpasses are 10 to 12 feet, so know your rig's height. Pro tip: head west on I-287 or north via Route 17 to escape the metro quickly, you'll be in rolling Skylands countryside within about 45 minutes of leaving Westwood.
state.nj.us/transportation/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Westwood?
Campground amenities vary, but you've got great options around Westwood. Private parks like Black Bear Campground (Florida, NY) and Pleasant Acres Farm (Sussex, NJ) offer full hookups (water, 30/50-amp electric, sewer), Wi-Fi, pools, and laundry. State park campgrounds like Beaver Pond at Harriman are more rustic, no hookups, but they have flush toilets, hot showers, and a dump station onsite. Worthington State Forest has water at the office to fill your tank, but no dump station onsite. Pro tip: if you're heading into a no-hookup site, ask your host about a portable solar panel or extra battery, and fill your fresh water tank to about 75% in Westwood before leaving to manage weight.
dep.nj.gov/parksandforests/What's actually inside a typical Westwood RV rental?
Most RVs on RVezy in the Westwood area come fully equipped so you can roll out the same day. Expect a queen or king bed, convertible dinette and sofa beds, full kitchen (fridge/freezer, propane stove, microwave, sink), bathroom with toilet and shower, climate control with roof A/C and furnace, and proper seatbelts for everyone traveling. Many hosts also include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, leveling blocks, and a generator for off-grid power. Wi-Fi hotspots and solar are common add-ons. Pro tip: check each listing's amenity list and message the host to confirm cookware, linens, and bedding are included, many Westwood hosts offer a turnkey kit so you only need to pack clothes and groceries from the local ShopRite before hitting the road.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Westwood%2C%20New%20JerseyWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts in the Westwood area offer some genuinely useful add-ons that make trip planning easier. Common extras: generator use (often a flat daily or hourly rate), camp chairs and table, bedding/linen packages, kitchen kits, bike racks, portable grills, Wi-Fi hotspots, and pet cleaning fees. Pickup is typically at the host's address in or near Bergen County, with a 30 to 60-minute walkthrough included. Dropoff is the same location unless you've arranged delivery. Pro tip: ask about a late return grace period if your Sunday drive home from the Catskills might run long, many Westwood hosts will give you an extra hour or two for free if you ask in advance instead of charging a late fee.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Westwood%2C%20New%20JerseyHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and secure, you pay through RVezy at the time of booking with a credit or debit card, never in cash to the host. The total covers the nightly rental, service fee, taxes, your chosen protection plan, and any add-ons you select. A refundable security deposit is held separately from the booking payment and released after the host confirms the RV came back in good shape, typically within a few days of return. Pro tip: do a thorough video walkaround at both pickup and dropoff in Westwood, upload the clips to your RVezy messages, and you'll rarely have a deposit dispute, keeping your rent an RV in Westwood experience smooth from start to finish.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs a Westwood RV rental a good fit for a family trip?
It's one of the best family decisions you can make. A family RV trip from Westwood gives kids their own beds, a kitchen for picky eaters, and zero airport stress. Many local listings sleep 6 to 8 with bunk beds, perfect for the under-12 crowd. From Westwood, easy family destinations include Hersheypark in PA (about 170 miles), Storm King Art Center (about 45 miles), Lake George with Six Flags Great Escape (about 220 miles), and the Cape May beaches (about 160 miles). Use the RVezy filter to set sleeps 6+ and Pet-Friendly if the dog's coming too. Pro tip: book a Class C with bunks over the cab, kids love the loft, and the layout means parents can stay up in the lounge while little ones sleep, making your campervan rental Westwood weekend feel like a real vacation for everyone.
