If you’re in the mood for a fun outdoor getaway in New Jersey, you’re in luck: There are so many amazing places to go camping throughout the state! You can explore New Jersey’s many forests, mountains, and lakes in everything from a camper van to a cabin to a tent.

A personal favorite of ours is actually a lesser-known one: Parvin State Park, which offers a beautiful, waterfront camping area.

Each site comes with a fire ring, picnic table, and a lantern hook. Six people and two vehicles are allowed per site.
Imagine waking up each morning to this lake view.

And yes, you can go swimming, kayaking, and canoeing on the lake during the summer while lifeguards are on duty.
