Not sure where in New Jersey you are but PA, MD, and NY have some great state parks (New Jersey has very few that allow pets so I haven't visited yet).

We are done with camping in Jersey. Overrated, overpriced. We have been to State/Federal Parks in Maryland, Delaware and New York. NY has some fantastic places. We have trips planned to Upstate NY into mid-November. After that it's unfortunately time to winterize and wait until March for the first trip of the spring season for us.
We both believe rvparkreviews is the biggest culprit for phony/fake reviews. We don't even look there anymore.
