From Route 80, take exit 25, Route 206 north to Newton, about 12 miles. From Newton, make a left at the second traffic light (Route 206 and Spring Street) then make a left at the next light onto Route 519. Follow 519 for approximately 1/2 mile, then make a left onto Route 622 at Sussex County College sign. Follow Route 622 for about 4 1/2 miles. Turn left onto Route 619. The park entrance is about 1/2 mile south on Route 619.
The colors of Fall were breath-taking! 2 night stay with hiking adventures on the Appalachian Trail a short drive away to trailhead. The Paulinskill railtrail is a great option for a bike outing, and the State Park offers a boat launch for a day of kayaking. The campground was quite and clean, a peaceful weekend getaway surrounded by the colors of Fall!
Was very impressed with this park when we went for a 4 day camping trip. The park is very easy to navigate, even though our site was at the far end of the facility, the bathrooms were still within a 10 minute walking distance. When the kids couldn't wait for the walk, it was only a few minutes drive and there were a lot of parking spaces. Very convenient. The bathrooms were always well maintained and kept clean by the staff. The sites themselves were very well maintained, a decent size and properly spaced from neighbors. During the day, staff would drive past multiple times a day to check on the sites and were super friendly and happy to help if you had questions. The swimming beach was clean and fairly large. I just wish were was more shoreline fishing locations for people. The docks are small and were being utilized by boaters so you can't really fish off them and the shoreline was tree covered so not many places to fish if you don't have a boat to use. Overall, we were very happy with the park and will be definitely using it again in the future.
A beautiful state park with nice size lake, sandy beach and hiking trails. Unfortunately, no rangers were on duty at the office (wanted to ask a few questions) maybe next time. Plenty of parking and campgrounds, a real gem.
It is a nice place to go and great experience for my first time camping! It is very relaxing. They do sell wood for $7.00. The bathroom is pretty far from where we are staying so every time I have to pee I have to drive over to the bathrooms. Should’ve brought a bucket lol. I thought our area would’ve been more toward the water. We brought our kayaks which aren’t so light to carry over to the lake. It gets chilly at night so bring extra blankets. Just wish I could’ve went swimming here): Will definitely be back soon!
A beautiful campground and state park. The dock is in close proximity to many campsites, with easy launch access for kayaks, paddle boards, etc. Most sites are plenty big, but we unfortunately had a very small one that was quite muddy (CS56). Some sites don’t have much privacy from neighbors, and others are in an open meadow. If you can get one closer to the lake, those are more wooded with natural barriers between sites. Great hiking right from the campground and across the road from the park entrance.
