ROUND VALLEY RECREATION AREA

Check-in Required & No Vehicle Access

Wilderness camping has NO VEHICLE ACCESS to the campsites and NO SWIMMING.

NO VEHICLE ACCESS = Wilderness camping is not drive-in camping. Wilderness Campers must be prepared to backpack/mountain bike with all of their camping gear 3–6 miles on the steep and rugged Cushetunk Trail or bring their own boat/paddle to a waterfront site 1–4 miles away from the camper parking lot. Boaters are responsible for knowing and obeying all park and marine rules & regulations.

NO SWIMMING = Swimming is never permitted in the main reservoir or in the camp. Swimming is only permitted when and where State Park Lifeguards are on duty.

Check-in is REQUIRED in-person at the Park Office by 4:00pm (6:00pm June-August) to obtain camping permits.

CHECK-IN REQUIRED = Campers who miss the 4:00pm check-in (6:00pm June-August) cannot go camping and should call the park office before 4:00pm to change their reservation to a different day. 

Wilderness camping is a wonderful way to connect with nature and wilderness campers must be prepared for the time commitment required to access these remote campsites and for the physical demands of the journey ahead.

Stage 2 Fire Restrictions are in effect

Stage 2 Fire Restrictions are in effect statewide as of 3:00 pm Monday, October 14, 2024.  This means that all fires in wooded areas will be prohibited unless in an elevated prepared fireplace, elevated charcoal grill or stove using electricity or a liquid or gas fuel.  An elevated prepared fireplace MUST meet the following criteria: * constructed of steel, stone, brick or concrete * elevated at least one foot above the ground * surrounded by a mineral soil radius no less than 10 feet.  

More information can be found at the NJ Forest Fire Danger Dashboard here:   https://www.nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/fire/infotools/conditions-restrictions.html

Welcome to Round Valley Recreation Area, the only NJ State Park that offers wilderness camping, each campsite is in a secluded clearing in the woods along the south-eastern shoreline of Round Valley Reservoir at the base of the Cushetunk Mountain. Wilderness camping is a challenging experience that is recommended for experienced backpackers and boaters, these campsites are not recommended for very young children or for the elderly due to the difficulty and distance (3-6 miles hiking mountainous terrain or 1-4 miles paddling by boat). There is no vehicle access to the Round Valley campground.

Camper Check-in Required:
Campers must check-in at the Park Office. Check-in is required by 4:00pm so that campers can obtain their permits, prepare for the trek ahead, and arrive at their campsite before dark. Campers who cannot check-in by 4:00pm cannot go camping.

Hiking/Biking:
Wilderness campsites are only accessible by boating or by hiking/mountain biking 3-6 miles along the steep and rugged Cushetunk Trail with all of their camping gear. There is no vehicle access to the Round Valley campground.

Boating:
Campers boating to their sites must book a waterfront site, designated with the letter ‘W’, e.g. Campsite #007W. Campers need to bring their own boat, know/comply with all park and marine rules & regulations, adhere to the 9.9 horsepower limit, and understand the wind warning system. If any of the four wind warning lights is on, then boating will be prohibited and campers must make alternate plans hike to/from their sites or delay/extend their reservation. Due to variable winds boaters are encouraged to follow the coastline and to not travel across the middle of the reservoir. The distance from the camper launch to the campground is 1–4 miles.
