Wawayanda State Park Campground

Wawayanda State Park Campground offers primitive group camping (minimum 7 people) with access to Lake Wawayanda for kayaking and swimming, plus 60+ miles of hiking trails including a section of the Appalachian Trail.

Sites feature basic amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and composting toilets, but lack running water, electricity, or showers—advance reservations through NJ Outdoors are required.

The campground is located in Sussex County near Hewitt, NJ, approximately 60 miles northwest of New York City, making it accessible for weekend trips.
