Jersey City may offer views of the Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island, but it is possible for campers to head just a short way out of the city to find a natural scene for a camping trip. About 30 minutes south by car, the 800-acre Cheesequake State Park is all about hiking, biking, fishing, and boating on Raritan Bay, making it a perfect spot for those looking to escape Jersey City for a tent or RV campsite. Look out for spots that can accommodate tents and trailers with picnic tables, fire rings, toilet, showers, and a dump station. Worthington State Forest is another relatively close beauty spot with basic campsites for a back-to-nature getaway. Even closer to the city, private RV parks and farmstays may offer anything from full hookups to farm-fresh eggs in the morning. No matter what you choose, camping near Jersey City offers a unique blend of city life and outdoor adventure.
