Seeing our boy off to Afghanistan...where to park in NJ?

Hello!
Our oldest son will be deploying from Fort Dix (NJ) to Afghanistan in March, and we would like to go up and see him off. While we are up there, we would like to volunteer with Samaritan's Purse (not our first time) helping to rebuild homes in Toms County New Jersey.
We are not at all familiar with the area, and while we do have a Thousand Trails membership, their parks there are closed for the winter. We travel with our 9 kidlets that are still 'at home' (wherever that is ;) ), and that freaks out most private rv parks. What to do, where to stay? Any suggestions would be appreciated! :)
Thank you!!!
  • There are 2 military campgrounds on Ft Dix but they did not get good reviews. You can view them on www.militarycampgrounds.us
    You can search by city on www.woodalls.com and select "open all year" as a filter search option.
  • Check with the people at Fort Dix, some military bases have on-post RV parks for authorized people, and you probably would meet their requirements; let's hope they have a park. If not, they should be able to recommend a nearby park that caters to military families. Will the drive be okay from MT to NJ in March, might be some bad weather then.
