Visiting USS New Jersey in Camden

[Terry_25]

Anyone know if travel trailer parking is available at the site?

OP here. Just as follow-up, arrived at USS New Jersey site around 11am on Friday to find the whole area taken over by some kind of music festival. Streets blocked or restricted. We were rescued by an official who, thankfully, was also a camper and directed his volunteers to let us pass quickly out of the area. Maybe next year we'll be able to finally answer the parking question. Enjoyed our stay at Timberlane.

Well, I guess I have been vindicated

diesel-Yes, stopping on the way from Liberty Harbor and spending the night at Timberlane. BTW, called the New Jersey people today and they assured me there is RV parking within 300 yds of the gate. We'll see. Thanks again for the help. I was drafted in '66 but was lucky enough to spend my 2 years in Texas. We are all in your faher-in-law's debt.

Terry25- Are you just passing through the area or are you staying somewhere for a few days? I can recommend Timberland CG... it is about a 20 minute ride from the USS NJ... good pull through sites...perfect base for visiting Philly and the USS NJ...

BTW- My father in law served on the USS New Jersey during Viet Nam. It was really cool for my DD's to be able to find their grandfather's name on the service rosters...

Well I thought I was being very helpful finding the toll free number for the Op where he could just call and get information he could trust. Unfortunately and even on this forum, people sometimes post things that may not be accurate, or post their experience and things have changed since that experience. Dieselbobcat wrote that in April there were no easy parking. But how do you know maybe they were bulding a special parking lot just for RV's that opened last week?

I like to get my information from the source.

Sorry it did not please most of you.

Thank you, Diesel.
Website mentions VIP Parking inside the gate and a parking garage nearby. Couldn't find the lot on Google Maps. Visited the aquarium couple years ago and parking was a hassle until a lot supervisor stepped in to help us. I called the battleship office today. There was no answer nor did they return my call. Shuttle sounds like a good idea.

Nope. Was just there in April. There is no easy parking anywhere near the USS New Jersey. There is parking and a shuttle that originates near the aquarium. We were there during a extremely slow time of year and parked in the lot for the marina. Go on the website for the USS NJ and I believe there are instructions for parking arrangements.

Now that's the kind of feedback most posters asking questions like to receive. 😉

Very informative, not just a recommendation to go somewhere else for an answer. :@

Because sometimes it's good to hear from people who have actually done it , I like to hear someone say yes I've been there done that and no issues.
