How to Compare New Jersey RVs
Decide your class — A travel trailer under 30 feet is the most practical option for coastal New Jersey. Shore campgrounds are tight and designed for mid-size rigs. If the Pine Barrens or Delaware Water Gap are your priority, larger Class A and C motorhomes work better at those open-layout campgrounds. Pick your destination first, then your class.
Consider length — Island Beach State Park caps most sites at 35 feet total length. This is one of the most competitive campgrounds in the Northeast and a length violation means losing your site. Measure your total rig length — including tow vehicle if applicable — before booking anything.
Compare total cost — New Jersey has tolls throughout the state. A full cross-state trip can add $30–$60 in tolls depending on your route. Factor this into your total cost alongside nightly rate + delivery fees + insurance.
Check amenities — Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area campgrounds offer full hookups with far less congestion than shore campgrounds — a great alternative when Island Beach is booked out. Otter Lake Camp Resort is your best full-hookup option in the Water Gap area.
Read reviews — For shore campgrounds, look specifically for comments about site size, neighbor proximity, and road access. Tight sites with narrow entrance roads are common along the Jersey Shore.
Reach out to owners — Ask about RV height before heading onto the New Jersey Turnpike or Garden State Parkway. Older toll structures have clearance variables at far-right lanes that can catch taller rigs off guard.
Tip: When Island Beach State Park is fully booked, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is your best alternative — full hookups, far less congestion, and excellent hiking and river access in northwest NJ.

New Jersey is logistically straightforward, with summer shore demand being the main variable to plan around.
Island Beach State Park is one of the most competitive campground reservations in the Northeast. Books through the New Jersey State Park reservation system. Opens reservations in January for the full season. Set an alert — it sells out fast for any summer weekend.

Pinelands dispersed camping is available in the Wharton State Forest. Atsion Recreation Area and Batsto Village area campgrounds offer full hookups. The vast Pine Barrens backcountry has canoe-in and hike-in primitive sites — great for day-tripping from a base camp.
New Jersey has tolls — budget accordingly. A full cross-state trip can add $30–$60 in tolls depending on your route. E-ZPass is accepted on the Turnpike and Parkway. Confirm toll plaza clearance for your rig height before entering.
