Depending on what part of Ocean County you live in you are probably about 2 hours or less from Triple Brook Camping Resort in Hope NJ. We have been seasonals here for 3 years.It is mostly seasonal and the folks are real nice. It is like a big extended family. In fact we get together with several folks right after the holidays for "Winter Camping" at a hotel but we still have fun and its great to see everyone again. The place is very safe and so many of the fulltimers look out for each other. Never had any property stolen or messed with. The weekenders usually come in and are respectful of the seasonal folks. If they are not the owner is quick to get them out of there. The owner Ira and his wife Ozzie do a great job of keeping the place clean and safe. It is hard in NJ to find a place such as Willow Tree in South Carolina but out of all the places in NJ we found Triple Brook to be close and very nice. The owner lets you build decks and allows you too make a nice cozy get away so long as it is neat and well kept. I highly recommend this place. We now bought our second 5th wheel to travel in and keep our first one at Triple Brook all the time. I cant wait for the spring to get back up there. We are 1 hour away. The season is from Mid April to Mid October. Good Luck.
