Pine Cone has ample space for all RVs and is family orientated. The pool was clean, the laundry clean and the grounds mowed. There was ample space for children to play and people to walk their dogs. The park is heavily treed and not all sites allow for satellite access. You need to specify need for satellite TV access. Also the cell signal is weak as well as their WIFI signal. We found communication difficult from this park. Given other area choices, we would not return to Pine Cone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really didn't spend a lot of time in the campground - we mainly used it as a "home base" to go to 6 Flags Great Adventure. However, the time we spent there was nice. The site we had used to be a seasonal site. It was shaded, and we had lots of room to spread out. The only problem we had were the hook ups. The sewage hook up was at one end, and the electric and water was at the other. That and the trees made it difficult to get the camper just right so our hook ups could reach plus be able to open our awning. Other than that, the CG was quiet, the bathrooms were older but clean, and the pool was nice. It was a great "home base." And oh yeah, the guy who runs everything was a bit cranky, but he is running everything alone, so I guess I would be cranky too! We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park charges monthly rate by every 4 weeks...so they collect 13 months of rent in a 12 month period. We were PROMISED free WIFI at our site...not so. No signal available except at the office. Owner is rude and does not like women. As a rule, it seems most campers here are also unfriendly...very strange. We have been here 2 months and are hoping to move to a different campground this weekend. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park seems to be over priced. It is large and extremely wooded...dirt roads. I do not think that I would stay here again, mainly because of price. It would be a nice over night stop over at about 1/2 the price. They take no discount cards. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Since it's situated pretty close to where we live, I love this campground for its accessibility and the fact it's open year-round. It's great for a one or two day getaway, and just enough off the beaten track to make you feel secluded. Pretty close to Six Flags Great Adventure and the central Jersey shore, however. We've stayed there three or four times, both in summer and winter, and have enjoyed it. Nothing terribly fancy, but well-kept and well-managed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Paid to camp, asked for a full hook up, they didn't have one available. So, off to a water/electric site. Site was a good sized, one no real problems. It was time to dump the tanks, low and behold they charge $10 per dump, can you believe it! They charge $35 a night for full hookup, 30 for electric (30AMP)/ water and $10 for each time you have to use the dump station; unbelievable. Stay way from this dump, will never return again money hungry isn't strong enough to describe this place. Go up the street to Turkey Swamp $26 a night and you can dump until the cows come home. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Large sites and lots of trees. All sites are pull-in types and spacious. We did encounter many mosquitoes. We would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The sites are fairly level. The roads are a little tight for RVs. The Rangers are very helpful and friendly. Easy access in an out and central to that part of New Jersey. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Shaded, large, mostly level sites with privacy between sites. Very clean with friendly Rangers. Only problem is the water hookups are shared between sites so you need a very long hose. There is a nice playground for the kids, hiking trails and fishing but no other activities so it's nice for some hanging around the campfire time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We just returned from a stay at Turkey Swamp and would have given it a 10 out of 10 except for the showers. The sites are large, wooded, and private (and all pull-thru). The rangers are friendly and helpful and keep an eye on the activities in the campground. The hiking trails around the park are well marked and nicely maintained. The campsite has nice playgrounds for kids. The campsite is very convenient to many activities (Henry Hudson bike trail is really nice, 15 minutes from Six Flags, 30 mins from Trenton, etc.). The only complaint is that the showers aren't very private; i.e. you emerge from your shower into a common area. My wife and daughter did not like this. Otherwise, an excellent campsite that we will return to in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I went to this campground based on other reviews on this site, and it was really nice. The ranger was very helpful with directions on the phone to the camp, and then he also helped me with a map for the Henry Hudson rail trail in Freehold - worth doing! As it is fall, the camp was empty but very clean. The sites are large and wooded. I would definitely come back here if I was in the area again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great place to camp and relax. The rangers are friendly and keep a constant eye on the campground and any visitors. The sites are one of the largest we have been in! The water is located a distance from the other utilities. The lake is stocked with plenty of fish and there are numorous hiking and biking trails. The only fault is that tents can occupy any site leaving travel trailers without a site to occupy because they cannot fit in a tent site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed at Turkey Swamp several times this year. It is a state run campground in Turkey Swamp State Park. The sites here are beautiful. The entire area is wooded with very large oak trees. Deer and turkeys were seen everywhere and there were many children there for my children to play with. There are vending machines and a laundry area. There aren't any planned activities for the kids, so you have to make your own fun but the atmosphere and scenery more than make up for it. For the price, this is a wonderful place to stay with your family. I will go back for sure. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very well maintained. We were there in November so it was very quiet. Looking forward to going back again this year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Of the many campgrounds in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, this place had more tenters then RV'ers! It is truly a hidden gem in NJ. This is camping the way it was meant to be. Reminds me of tent/pop-up camping many years ago. Sites were extremely spacious, level, far from your neighbor, with quite a bit of privacy, and well shaded. Hard packed sandy interior roads and sites (which we do not mind - always travel with a rug). The bathrooms were pretty clean. Only draw back was the shower, not enough privacy, only a plastic curtain, no hard door to latch! But I was willing to wear a bathing suit to get clean. We rode our bikes around the beautiful lake. You can fish, or rent paddle boats and canoes. They have other trails here too. Plenty of really nice playgrounds for the kids. The office - manned by rangers - stocks wood and ice. No store here. I saw the park rangers riding through the campground many times. If using water, be forewarned that all the spigots are a good distance from your RV. From past experience we always have extra hose on board, even then we had to back up a bit and use a total of 60 feet of hose. Hence my rating of a 9. This was our first time to Turkey Swamp Park. We will definitely be returning. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground for the price. Very tight roads. All campsites are pull thrus. Water tree is very far away, bring 50 ft of hose. We would stay here again only in a small RV. Tree clearance is low. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Turkey Swamp Park Campground is part of the Monmouth County N.J. park system. We arrived midweek and the campground was virtually empty. The non-resident rate of $28 included; pull through site, fire ring and picnic table, electric, water, dump station, swimming pool, showers and laundry, hiking trails, archery range, lake with boat rentals and fishing. All sites are “pull through” and appear fully shaded. We stayed in “E” loop, in a very large, level and private site. I thought our site was big, but to my amazement the site next to ours was gigantic. Besides the pull through lane the area behind the fire ring could easily accommodate at least 3 or 4 additional tents. We had heavy thunder storms each evening and the drainage at this campground was excellent. Park Rangers were very pleasant and helpful, they also patrolled the grounds throughout the day and afternoon hours. There are no Rangers or CG hosts on site after 11:00 PM and the campground gate is locked down (w/combination lock). So be aware any emergencies or noisy / disruptive neighbors must be handled by contacting the local police dept. Restroom / shower and laundry areas are clean and well lit but I did not notice any pathways from the outside camping loops through to the restrooms. So it’s either cut through someone’s site or take a 5 minute walk completely around the loop. The only thing I saw as a negative was sand. I felt like I was at the beach. Being located in central Jersey the ground is all course sand. All of the roads are sand and none of the sites paved, just hard packed sand. With all the rain we had sand kept being tracked into the camper no matter how careful we were. So bring your door mats and wisk brooms. The campground is located only a few miles from Great Adventure Amusement Park so during the summer I feel the campground should be full of families with kids. Overall a very nice campground, close to home that we will be using on a regular basis. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

It is a wonderful family oriented campground. All the sites are very spacious. There is a lake with boat rental, many hiking trails, an archery range, and at least two playgrounds. There is not a pool on site, but while camping there, you have access to a pool which is about a mile away. This is a county park and they allow dogs. State parks in New Jersey do not allow dogs. Shopping and dining is close by. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Went to New Jersey and needed a cg to stay in while visiting family. The Turkey Swamp county park was a real challenge for us to get in there. A pre-arrival call to the cg office revealed that there would be no problems for us to fit our 35" motorhome into anyone of their sites. Upon arrival, and after checking in, we were directed to area "B" which was their best pull thru section. The roads to get to the office, Section "B", and the assigned site were very close with very low overhead branches. It appears that the county just went through with a bulldozer and dropped just enough trees to make the road. I had to stop, reverse and then go forward several times to maneuver around a tree-lined bend in the road. Nice place but very low overhead and tight roads. Be skeptical if your rig is longer than 35' and taller than 12'. We came out with several scratches from branches on the sides and top of the rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice, wooded, campground in county park. Level gravel sites are pull-thru with a fire ring and grate and picnic table. Water hookup is only available April 15 - November 15. Free dumpstation. Laundry facilities. Large lake for fishing. There are many hiking trails and 4 playgrounds. Rangers were very friendly and helpful. Since we stayed in early April, we had the campground nearly to ourselves so we do not know what it is like during the summer months. We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely go back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Don't let the name of the park deter you...this is within the Mommouth County Park System and is a state park. It is $24 for NJ residents and $26 for non res. per night. All the sites are wooded and seem to be pull through. There is a dump station but no sewer hook ups. There is a nice large lake area too. The roads are paved-"ish" but have some pot holes, so drive carefully. They also have an archery range. Rangers patrol frequently. The signs to the campground are not very well displayed. Once you get off the the exit (#22 off of 195) there is a sign to tell you which direction to go, but then you are on your own. Turn at the First Assembly Church. The road to Turkey Swamp is on the same side as the Church. Hope this helps you find it! We camped here in a Motorhome.
