Hello,
I come in search of a new camp site destination. Every year for my birthday I go camping with a few friends and the past 3 years we have done Cheesequake State Park in NJ every year. It’s cute, has small trails, good facility access, and the camping areas are decently private.
I am located in central NJ but am willing to drive up to 4 ish hours Id say since it is only 2 nights 3 days.
I’m looking for a site that isn’t too expensive; can host more than 6 people if needed (Cheesequake capped their sites at 6 people), and has some activities. Doesn’t need to be crazy but if they have some little trails or some sort of lake/beach area, or ropes courses in the area. I also do have kayaks I planned on bringing so if they allow us to do that it would be awesome.
For context everyone on the trip will be 21-24 so that’s the age range. Also nothing too close to others as we do like to play music and just enjoy our time outside.
The previous site came with the fire pit and the picnic table which are must haves for me 🙂
Any suggestions are appreciated!

Cheesequake?
Maybe just try other state parks?
I’ve been doing a yearly camping trip with friends for I think 20 years now, and every year we pick a different Minnesota state park (because that’s where we live). Our group is bigger than yours though, so we always get group sites.
Unfortunately I’m not familiar with state parks in the NJ area. MN has great state parks, so we’ve rarely been disappointed. Usually the only problems we have are weather-related (like when we went to Blue Mounds and it was so goddamn hot and there are so few trees outside of the camping areas).
