There is construction the last few miles of I-78 from the Garden State Parkway to just before the NJ Turnpike Entrance Toll Plaza, so make sure to bear left for the Express lanes that split off at about MP 48. From there, straight through onto the Newark Bay Extension of the Turnpike, then get off that at the 2nd exit after the Exit Plaza, IIRC this is signed for "Montgomery Street-Grand Street". After the ramp drops down to grade, you go another block parallel to the Turnpike until there is a u-turn to head back a few blocks to Grand Street, make a left there to head east towards the Hudson, passing Jersey City Medical Center on the right, then after about 3 more blocks make a right on Marin Blvd., which basically ends at the campground/marina entrance.
Either weekends or weekdays between 9:30am and 3pm would be the best times to deal with 78, and that applies all the way from Allentown/Bethlehem, PA to Jersey City.
78 in NJ has had alot of resurfacing the past few years. Just stay in the Express lanes and it should be pretty good.
And it's been pretty well vetted on here before, but the area of Jersey City Liberty Harbor is located might be the highest demographic real estate you've ever camped in. There is a condo high-rise right next door where the units sell for $400,000 to $2,000,000. This is yuppie heaven, and probably close to small town safe.
There is a light rail station in front of that building that will take you easily to the waterfront, and either the PATH subway train or a Ferry to Manhattan.
Go to Google Maps with satellite view turned on and all this shows very well, including how to get into the area and the kind of neighborhood it is.
