Best free RV campgrounds in NJ?

We wonder if there are any free RV campgrounds in New Jersey area. It does not necessarily has any outlet or supply. Just a place to stay overnight.

Thought or know any? Hint? Thanks!
  • In NJ, the best available free camping would be in your driveway or backyard. If you just need an overnight, try Flying J, WalMart or other large box store.

  • However, my opinion best value in north jersey is swartswood state park. $20 per nite some sites tiny, some big enough for a house or two. I highly recommend site 21. No hookups, but water and sewer station, clean bathrooms and showers, lake with beach, lifeguards, kyak rentals...

    The Goshen Pond campground on the Wharton State Forest is Not Free. The red symbol on the website linked to means it is a for fee campground. According to the Wharton State Forest website " Fee: NJ Resident $3 per person, per night; Non Resident: $5 per person, per night."

    I noticed on the Free Campsites website that they list a location in a beach community that allows free overnight street parking. Be aware that in many beach communities in NJ (Atlantic City is one that I am aware of) you can park an RV overnight, but you can not inhabit it. There is a legal difference that is often not recognized in discussions on RV forums.
  • For a single overnight, while in transit, we've stayed in the parking lot of the Camping World in Bridgeport, NJ. It's about 10 minutes north of the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
