Swartswood Campground

New Jersey’s first State Park, this ribbon-cut destination is a premier attraction to the colonial state’s outdoor-savvy. Inundated by the park’s namesake lake, it’s a geological exhibit, carved by an escorted glacier nearly ten-thousand-years ago. And, now home to a freshwater liquid oasis, the seasoned angler will be well catered to with the lake’s healthy population of game fish. Even if fishing isn’t your go-to recreational activity, sure-footed campers will be trotting along the campsite accessible hiking trails that snake through the shoreline’s thick vegetation.
