Where can I tent camp for free in New Jersey?

ahmelody71

I searched the internet and couldn't find any useful info, and don't wanna pay for a guide book. I am VERY short on money and would like to camp for just one night somewhere in New Jersey, legally, and for free. Any recommendations?

Answer
I am a camper, and I used to live in NJ. Unfortunately I do not know of any legal free camping locations in the state. State (and county) parks would probably be the cheapest. The website for NJ State Parks lists camping fees at $20 in most parks. You might look on-line for county parks and check those prices. You could also consult camping guidebooks (like Woodall's) at your local library. As you search, keep in mind that camping locations near cities would usually be more expensive than those in more remote areas. Good luck.

Q. What are the laws/rules about tent camping? me and a couple buddies wanted to just go out in the woods camping one night just to hang out and maybe explore a little. Are there laws against that?

Answer
This state is a pain in the ass, eh? Luckily, the pine barrens are huge. It's it illegal to camp in NJ outside of an designated campsite. If they find you, they slap you with a $50 ticket and kick you out. Good for us the pine barrens are so big, you don't need to worry about it. If a ranger sees your not a punk, he'll probably just ask you to leave.
