Pitch a tent under a blanket of stars or soak in the bright lights of the boardwalk—with seven diverse regions, New Jersey’s landscapes accommodate backcountry campers to luxury resort lovers.
SET UP CAMP
Jellystone Park in Williamstown is a Yogi Bear-themed campground that makes for lifelong family memories with everything from a huge pool and jumping lake floats to laser tag, sports courts and events. For a real rugged retreat (no vehicle access), Round Valley Recreation Area Campground is New Jersey’s only state park that offers wilderness camping—so be prepared to either backpack, mountain bike, boat or paddle to your campsite in the woods. Panther Lake Camping Resort in Andover is where marshmallow roasting beside a freshwater lake feels like summer at its best. With a wall of windows bringing the outside world in, the Lokal A-Frame cabin set along the Maurice River in Dorchester offers 1960s Scandinavian style with all the amenities—including a hot tub, private river “beach” and fire pits—for a cool glamping getaway. If fishing during your stay sounds ideal, Windy Acres RV Park & Campground in Newton allows you to cast right from your campsite and provides WiFi throughout the park so you can share your trophy catch with online friends.
LIVE THE VIBE
Spice up your vacation with a burlesque show at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, or indulge in self-care at the onsite spa, salon or specialty boutiques. With Atlantic City Beach and Steel Pier just steps away, check in to the iconic Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and test your luck at one of the 2,300 slot machines, or rock out at a Sound Waves concert. Ocean Casino Resort, the newest addition to the Atlantic City lineup, dazzles with its striking glass facade, luxury studio suites and a private Blade helicopter ride to and from New York that’ll make you feel like an action hero. In the marina district, Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City entertains with an indoor pool oasis, staged performances, chef-driven restaurants and craft cocktail lounges. As one of the top-rated sportsbooks in the nation, Caesars Atlantic City is the place on the boardwalk to wine and dine like royalty. Catch concerts in an opulent Roman setting, or dine at celebrity-chef steakhouses on property.
While these accommodations are on opposite ends of the spectrum, New Jersey also offers everything in between!
