302w 83 Posted December 14, 2016 I've got the camping bug.. it's a little too early for May but one can plan. I need a campground. Somewhere that allows alcohol, reservations, BYO firewood, and west of the Delaware (PA) or north of 80 in the PRNJ. Woodsy is a requirement. Real bathrooms are a plus for my GF. I've been to Cedar Ridge in Montague. It's okay but kinda seedy. Greatly prefer PA so I can keep a shotgun in my truck. KOA and state campgrounds don't allow booze. No I will not mix firearms and booze. Suggestions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beachwhistle 28 Posted December 14, 2016 Used to go to Bernies by Dingman ferry. Don't know if it's still open but it was a great location on the Delaware on Pensy side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kirk2022 43 Posted December 14, 2016 Most every Campground that you check will not allow BYO Firewood. That said from experience with traveling all over each year. Are you tenting or have A travel trailer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RecessedFilter 222 Posted December 14, 2016 Bring firewood in a container of some sort. They won't know and won't check. Then buy one stack at the campground so you at least pretend to be burning their wood. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
302w 83 Posted December 14, 2016 Tenting. Do most campgrounds check? I was going to take my F150 but can throw it all in my Explorer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then buy one stack at the campground so you at least pretend to be burning their wood. That is how we do it at times also but we don't stack it out just move it from truck as needed. And yes some and each year more will check. But not all. Do A search online for PA campgrounds and you will find plenty of good info for CGs. PA and NJ both have very good guides for free in most all Rv sales places and CG. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maintenanceguy 512 Posted December 15, 2016 Ole Bull in PA. Great place to camp. Nice showers/rest rooms. Beautiful area. Tent or RV. Nice swimming and fishing spots. Worth the drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OfcrFek 21 Posted December 15, 2016 I camp in Wharton St Forest at least 3-4x a year. Love that place. My only gripe with it is you're technically not allowed to drink.... but don't act like a douchebag and the rangers won't bother ya. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malsua 1,422 Posted December 15, 2016 Most every Campground that you check will not allow BYO Firewood. For good reason. Firewood is probably the easiest way invasive species get around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for firewood, I bring mine covered or look up local places and pick it up. I never ever buy campground stock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtd771 18 Posted December 16, 2016 Be quiet and respectful and keep ask your beverages out of sight or in plastic cups and the rangers will never bother you. Plenty of other idiots being loud and or running around with open labeled containers for them to focus on.

panteramatt 27 Posted December 30, 2016 Subscribing to this. We camp a lot and there's plenty of places in PA. I bring wood in a large trashcan and plastic container. Love to hear more suggestions. Seems like a lot of places I go are just too geared towards children. How come no one has ADULT campgrounds? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
panteramatt 27 Posted December 30, 2016 Check out mountain Creek campground. I go there whenever I go to Carlisle for car shows. I've met some really cool people there just by walking around or by our similar taste in music. They have a poker run in the campground where every stop has a different shot for you to drink! That was a blast Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
panteramatt 27 Posted December 30, 2016 Oh I just had an idea. Why don't we have a njgunforum camp meet? Think that would be a blast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
