Camping Fishing

places in jersey to go camping and fishing?

so i live in central jersey and i’m thinking about going camping. is there anywhere i can go with a couple of other people that’s just away from a lot of other campers and people or if not some kind of campground and how much it would be to stay on the campground? preferably somewhere where we can catch some fish.

Jersey, as in the Channel Islands of the UK, or New Jersey, in the United States? If the former, I don’t know. But as for the latter, camping is available 16 state parks and forests, and over 100 commercial campgrounds throughout the state of NJ.

For a place that’s away from other campers and offers good fishing, you might consider the Wilderness Camping at Round Valley Reservoir. Although you might be able to see other campers from your spot, it is a 3+ mile hike from the parking area to the closest campsite, and 6 miles to the furthest. So not a lot of people go here. The reservoir is 2,000 acres and 180 feet deep, hosting lake trout, browns and rainbows, as well as bass, pickerel and other species. I camped here a few times many years ago, and it’s a nice campground and the reservoir is amazing. Recommended.

In the NJ Pineleands, Wharton State Forest has several Remote and Primitive Campsites. Remote campsites are available via sand roads only (4WD recommended), and vehicles are prohibited in Primitive Campsites. No facilities are available. There are many streams, rivers and lakes in the area to choose from for fishing. Prices range from $2 per person to $20 per night. I go to the Pinelands frequently, and usually stay at one of the remote sites where I will encounter one or two other campers during most weeks. Also Recommended.

Also, the structures available for rent at many state parks and forests are often isolated from other camping areas. Lean-To’s, Yurts and Cabins are available from $35 to over $100 per night, with a 7-day minimum during the summer season. Check the maps on the NJDEP website. I’ve stayed in cabins at state parks a few times at Stokes and Wharton, and they are a nice family alternative to staying in a tent or RV. Stokes also has a lake and great fishing.

As for commercial campgrounds, many are located on rivers, streams and lakes, where fishing is good. But none that I’m aware of offer sites that are isolated from other campers. Costs at commercial sites range from $25 – $80 per night, depending on amenities and site selection. The principal advantages being you can bring your dog and your beer.
