The following page on the NJ DEP website lists all the state parks and forests with camping. Primitive camping (e.g., without established site boundaries and masses of other people) is only available at Wharton State Forest in the Pine Barrens. There are plenty of rivers, creeks, ponds and lakes in the Pine Barrens, but fishing is a challenge because of the dark tea-colored waters (a result of the high iron content in the soil -- the Pine Barrens was a major producer of iron in the early 1800's.
Other state parks and forests are also very nice. If you're limited to Northern NJ, Stokes is another favorite camping location, but they lack the seclusion available out in the primitive sites at Wharton.
There are over 100 privately-owned commercial campgrounds in NJ, but they have little extra to offer in terms of camping basics, unless you want electric, water and sewer hook-ups, a swimming pool, game room, real bathrooms with hot water and laundry facilities, oh, and don't forget the accompanying crowds, blaring musing, screaming kids, racing golf carts and drunken arguments.
There is no legal dispersed camping in NJ except for along the Appalachian Trail, and even here camping is strictly regulated.
Ironically, though I've done lots of camping in PA and NY it was all on private land (with permission, of course), or at one of the traditional family camping areas.

State parks offer a lot of really great camping spots, many of which offer playgrounds for the kids. Are you looking for tent camping? RV? I'm not sure what exactly you have in mind or what part of NJ or PA you're planning to visit, but if you'd like to search for camping spots either by region or activity/features, there's a free app called Pocket Ranger that I've been using since it came out. It's really helpful.
