Cheesequake State Park is a 40-minute drive from Jersey City and is right off the Garden State Parkway, making it the perfect place to escape the city's hustle and bustle. The park has all of your basic needs covered. Take your crew out to try one of the five designated hiking trails, ranging from easy to difficult, and experience the beauty of Cheesequake's two unique ecosystems. If going fishing is one of the ways you unwind, grab a fishing rod and have a go at freshwater fishing in the lake, or try your hand at crabbing. After a long, exciting day, head down to the beach area and barbecue up some dinner, maybe that trout you caught earlier? Bear in mind that this campsite is best suited to smaller trailers, motorhomes, and pop-up campers as it has an 11' height restriction.
If you're looking to put even more distance between you and the metropolis area, take your Jersey City RV rental for a scenic 80-mile drive down the Christopher Columbus Highway to Delaware River Family Campground. Along with the essential amenities, this riverside campground has an on-site general store, volleyball and basketball courts, a swimming pool, and planned weekend events for the whole family. While the river isn't suitable for swimming, it is a major draw for those who enjoy rafting and boating. Although most shopping and restaurants require a drive into town, there is Marshall's Farm Market down the road, where you can stock up on local groceries.
TipTam Camping Resort in Jackson Township has everything you would hope to have when you're out in the wilderness, and then some. From basic amenities like laundry rooms and showers to outdoor activities such as go-karting tracks, mini-golf, and basketball courts, this campground is a great option for families looking to entertain the kids. RVs of all sizes are welcome. TipTam is a 70-mile drive outside of Jersey, making it a slightly less appealing option if you're looking to make day trips into Jersey City or Manhattan. However, when staying the night at TipTam, you'll be conveniently located close to Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, a must-see for the thrill-seekers in your group.
