Voorhees, like Parvin State Park, served as a camp for the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) – Franklin Roosevelt’s program to get people back to work during the Depression. The CCC planted trees and constructed shelters, picnic sites and trails throughout the park. Two overlooks provide scenic views of Round Valley Reservoir and Spruce Run Reservoir.
Camping in the Park
Voorhees State Park has 47 tent and trailer sites with fire rings and picnic tables available. Modern toilets and showers are within an easy walking distance. There is a trailer sanitary station which is open from April 1 through October 31. The campsites are open from April 1 through October 31 and rent for $20 per night.
There are also two group campsites available at Voorhees State Park. With a capacity of 50 campers each, each site offers picnic tables, fire rings, toilets, showers. They are open from April 1 through October 31 and rent for $50 per night per site.
In addition to the above the park has three shelters. These cabin-like structures each feature a wood stove for heat and two double-deck bunks that can sleep up to four people. The sites also include a fire ring and picnic table. Open from April 1 through October 31 they rent for $10 a bunk per night, based on the number of bunks.
Alcohol and pets are prohibited in overnight facilities.
Highlights of Voorhees State Park
Civilian Conservation Corp programs were present in the area from 1933-1941 with about one thousand young men working at Voorhees and Hacklebarney in a Depression-era federal agency known as the Civilian Conservation Corps. The CCC was the brainchild of one of the 20th century’s leading figures, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The agency had two goals: to give jobs to unemployed young men, between the ages of 17 and 24 and veterans of World War I, and to undertake thousands of conservation projects across the nation in parks, forests and at historic sites.
When the CCC boys arrived at Voorhees in 1933, they found three relatively undeveloped parcels of land. The park still reflected Governor Voorhees’ use of the property as a farm including pastures, woodland, barns and an apple orchard. By the time the CCC boys were finished working eight years later, under the supervision of the National Park Service (NPS) and the United States Army, they had built the present-day road systems, shelters, latrines, visitor amenities, and trail systems or major public access areas that still remain or are used in different ways today.
Each CCC Company had 200 men, although that number was not always maintained. The CCC camp at Voorhees was initially known as Camp #20 or Camp Voorhees and later was given the designation of SP#5 with Company 1268 assigned to it. SP designated State Park and the company number coincided with the Army Corps district.
The CCC boys were paid $30 a month with $25 of that amount automatically sent home to family members or guardians for their support. That left the boys a salary of $5. which they received at a rate of $2.50 every other week. For many enrollees at Voorhees, the CCC provided vocation and vocational classes. The education program was known as “The School of the Woods” and included job training, current events and access to a camp library.
The staff of Voorhees State Park continues to pursue learning about their CCC history. All former enrollees or surviving family members of Company 1268 are encouraged to contact the park office at 908-638-6969 or 908-638-6969. Additionally, in an effort to show our appreciation to the enrollees of CCC Company 1268, Voorhees is planning to erect a life-sized bronze statue of a CCC worker at the entrance of Company Street. This statue would commemorate the outstanding work of the CCC throughout this great country during the years of 1933 to 1943. Contact the Voorhees State Park main office at 908-638-6969 or 908-638-6969 to learn more about how to be a part of this effort! The CCC history is courtesy of Peter Osborne, author

To put a little, or a lot, of light on the subject try a SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight. Its brightly focused beam and surrounding light will enable you to get out of even the darkest of situations at the push of a button. The SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight provides you with “lighthouse” power in the palm of your hand, at its miniature 4 inch length and 1 inch diameter. Everything about the SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight is lightweight, weighing in at only 2.8 ounces. Well, not everything is lightweight—its beam and runtime gives you more last and greater throw than most of its competitors. In fact, when the forces above said let there be light, somebody must have switched on their SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight.
As convenient as the SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight is to carry, switching from high to low output is just as easy—all achieved at the click of a button. The tail-cap switch activates the beam and enables the user to select high or low output levels. The maximum output level of the SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight is 45.0 lumens, but for greater runtime you may want to select the low output of 3.0 lumens, which will provide up to eight and a half hours of runtime. Simply click or release off and press it once again to switch the output levels. At its top power level, the high beam produced is equal to twice that of the bigger and heavier two-D-cell flashlight. Although the beam produced by the SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight is quite tight, it does throw enough surround light to provide illumination for greater peripheral vision as well.
You’d be challenged to find a flashlight more durable than the SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight, and certainly be hard-pressed to purchase one that is as easy to carry and comfortable to use. One of the SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight’s best features is its almost indestructible power-regulated LED emitter with its Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens, highly desirable for traveling rough terrain or maneuvering around unknown objects that go bump in the night. The SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight has an iron-hard body built of aerospace aluminum and anodized for gladiator strength that resists corrosion and wear. You can also carry it on your belt worry-free in all types of weather because of its gasket sealed, weatherproof O-ring attachment.
Those who created the SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight have thought of everything, a quality yet compact flashlight as well as a convenient way to provide energy to this powerhouse. With each purchase of a SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight comes a high-energy 123A battery. The battery is as durable and long-lasting as the flashlight itself, providing a ten-year shelf life for its users at an overall price of flashlight and battery being only $139. Most spend more for battery and flashlight replacement on less reliable, inferior products that can’t hold SureFire E1L Outdoorsman LED Flashlight a candle to go by.

On first glance at the MSR Flex 4 System Cookset, your first thought is that there is only one larger 5.3-liter cooking pot for a cost of $159.95. Although it seems expensive, you are intrigued by what makes this pan so costly so you open its lid to peer inside. That’s when you discover a complete set of cooking needs for a group of four people—all included in this one, now very affordable, price. Digging inside the pot is like opening a grab-bag of goodies, as you discover the following containers tucked within:
DuraLite DX Aluminum Pot & Lids
The MSR Flex 4 System Cookset includes this 3.2-liter pot with a nonstick finish for incredibly easy cleanup. This durable pot has an anodized surface to resist corrosion and avoid tough and sticky food that can adhere to the outside. It is also Teflon coated on the inside to prevent sticking and minimize burning. The larger pot that holds the entire MSR Flex 4 System Cookset is a 5.3-liter size with the same coatings. The pots also include brushed aluminum lids with integrated strainers. When your boiled foods are fully cooked and there’s leftover water in the pot, just turn it upside down and avoid the use of a heavy or inconvenient colander that must be held by a trusting assistant or placed inside the sink to tip and teeter from one side to the other. To make sure you suffer no painfully blistered fingers or accidentally loose your grasp on the pot, the smaller 3.2-liter pot comes with a Talon™ handle that attaches and detaches by the use of outside brackets. By including this handy accessory, the makers of the MSR Flex 4 System Cookset help you to maintain a scratch-free inner surface that allows for easy storage within the larger 5.3-liter pot, which has two built-in handles of its own for easy and safe lifting.
Plates & Mugs
For those hot soups, hamburgers with all their fixings, or juicy steaks, you will enjoy the DeepDish plates included with the MSR Flex 4 System Cookset. They are deep enough to hold soup or sauces, and yet you can still reach over the side to cut into that tender meat or fish without tipping its contents onto your lap. You’ll know who hasn’t cleaned up their individual dishes because the MSR Flex 4 System Cookset has color-coded them for easy identification. The 12.5 ounce stainless-steel mugs keep your beverages hot with their insulated sleeve and covered, sip-top opening that allows almost no steam to escape. Your MSR Flex 4 System Cookset has included four mugs and plates, and still they all fit within your larger pot for easy storage.
Lifting your packed pot is a task made easy by the MSR Flex 4 System Cookset, with an overall weight of 3 pounds, 10.8 ounces. They are designed to maximize space in your camper or tent, as each piece packs inside the other after each meal. Careful though, you may find yourself liking the MSR Flex 4 System Cookset so much that you will borrow a pot or two for home cooking and use it so much that you forget to return it to the camper. There is an easy way to always ensure your MSR Flex 4 System Cookset is always in the camper where it belongs, though, simply purchase a second set for your home.
It’s difficult to misplace this Bonfire orange Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag, with a regular size of 82” x 31” x 20”. As comfortable as its 600+ goose down fill is, the Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag has become quite the rage for cold-weather hikers, climbers, and backpackers whose sport often requires them to withstand temperatures of down to zero degrees Fahrenheit. Without careful preparation, which should include a Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag, enjoyment can be hampered and the sportsperson’s safety compromised. Besides the color, there are several more features that are making the Marmot Never Summer+0 Sleeping Bag stand out in a crowd of comfort-seeking campers. For instance, sleepers love its full-length, left-side zipper opening that also includes a guard to keep the fabric from being chewed up by the zipper teeth. The ground-level side seams enable people who are at the maximum weight and height limit to still have easy in and out access to the Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag, with hassle-free comfort once inside.
The regular size fits people whose height does not exceed 6 feet, and the price of approximately $300 is just as accommodating as its fit. If you need a bit larger size for more foot room but don’t want to go larger than a regular size Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag—no problem. You can get a regular size with a standard trapezoidal foot box that will allow you additional space and still be light and comfortable to carry. In fact, the full weight of the Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag – Regular is only two pounds, twenty-eight ounces. It can be easily tucked into a seven-by-fourteen inch stuff and storage sack, included with the Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag, for worry-free carrying when conquering your most difficult challenge on the trail or mountain.
Having backpacked your ultra light weight Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag to your desired site, the next best thing is that the protective twenty-eight ounce down fill will keep your fingers and toes as warm as a bonfire. With its Nautilus hood and draw cord, and the down-filled collar to prevent the loss of heat around your neck and head, you’ll be ready to face the new day after a cozy night’s sleep in your Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag. When your fellow campers see how completely comfort-tucked you are in your Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag, you may have to guard it with all you’ve got the second night in camp. The biggest temptation will be resisting all the extra goodies you’ll be offered in trade for just one night spent in the bag.
A word of caution, when sporting your Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bag, fellow campers will see your gear and perceive you as a much more experienced sportsperson. So, listen carefully to the campfire talk and nod a lot to avoid detection; after all, one of the worst things for an inexperienced backpacker is exposure, right? A good idea before heading out is to take a trip with your group to the local sports store and encourage them to purchase some Marmot Never Summer +0 Sleeping Bags all their own—just as a preventative measure.

As romantic as they are practical, the Coleman Exponent Luminos Lantern is a great solution for lighting when you go on a camping trip, evening tail-gating party, or even just a relaxing, overnight cookout with the neighbors at a nearby park. There’s nothing easier to fill, refill, hang, or store than a Coleman Exponent Luminos Lantern, and because of its well-crafted, durable design, it can hang in there with the big boys. This compact backpacking lantern has a pack size of 6.75 inches x 3 inches, but its lasting power is that of the larger and more expensive lanterns. It’s made of aluminum, steel, and brass and sports flip-out legs in order to provide greater stability and easier stance.
To make sure they’ve covered every possible desired function, the manufacturers have also included push-on mantles so there will be no more unsightly or weak strings to worry about when using your Coleman Exponent Luminos Lantern. They have also attached stainless steel guards to protect its globe and give it that look of an old-fashioned kerosene lantern. The features are numerable on the Coleman Exponent Luminos Lantern, so you won’t be disappointed when you get a look at the oversized ignition button, the folding dimmer toggle, and its refillable fuel tank that completely does away with the need for additional stove canisters. Another special element of the Coleman Exponent Luminos Lantern that makes it effortless and incredibly safer to use is its Piezo push-button matchless ignition. Like magic, the lights are on and somebody’s home.
The Coleman Exponent Luminos Lantern was built to take a beating and keep on beaming, which often happens when you’ve got the whole family involved in an outdoors camping trip. It’s textured, nonslip finish was especially designed to make it easy for little hands to lift and carry without the worry of accidental breakage or the possibilities of a spill caused by the helping hands of your loved one. The Coleman Exponent Luminos Lantern has become a low-cost, safe alternative to candles and so much more powerful, providing light output of up to ten candlepower. And, depending on the fuel used, it can light up a room for up to four or five hours without refilling. There’s no longer any reason for the little ones to stay in the dark when you can warm up the tents to a cozy temperature using your Coleman Exponent Luminos Lantern, tuck them inside the sleeping bags, and depend on the quietly operating Coleman Exponent Luminos Lantern to keep them feeling secure until the “lights out” hour in camp.
So inexpensive to use, the Coleman Exponent Luminos Lantern runs off a Powermax, Campingaz, or Coleman butane or propane fuel. The only thing that rivals its operating costs is its lower-than-most initial purchase price of $70 to $90. It simply can’t be beat for quiet efficiency, durable design, and an affordable price tag. It will make a believer out of you when you hear people say that good things DO come in small packages.
An incredible cooking surface that can accommodate the entire camping group, this Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove has true squeal appeal. It is the larger of the smaller type portable outdoor grills, measuring 51 inches x 50 inches x 37 inches when set up and 31.5 inches x19.25 inches x14.25 inches when collapsed, and yet it weighs only 57 pounds. For those who camp in groups or have large families the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove is idea to cook several pans of camp food all at the same time. Since both burners are independently controlled and have an eight-inch distance between them, the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove can easily handle different food items without the fear of too much weight or spillage. Your cook will have no shortage of power, either, because the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove boasts two high-performance burners that have a combined 25,000 BTUs cooking level.
Traditionally, he who cooks in camp doesn’t do the picking up, but don’t let that worry you if you’re on the clean-up crew. The Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove has made it easy to wipe off the porcelain-coated cast iron grates. When using the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove for cooking the open-air hotdogs and hamburgers, don’t concern yourself with the possibilities of excess grease and meat that may stick to the grill. Simply thoroughly clean after each use and then treat the grill with some spray oil, and you’ll be ready for the next meal. Because of the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove’s excellent temperature control and 375 square inches of cooking space, grilling out a lot of food at one time is no longer a challenge. You can put the matches away as well because the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove has a convenient built-in igniter for a quick, easy, and safe start.
While cooking on the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove, your food can be stored on the strong side shelves; however, these will need to be purchased separately.

Much like your at-home grill, the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove also comes complete with hooks to support large grilling spatulas, spoons, forks, tongs, and scrapers. The camp cook can plan lots of hot meals during your trip because the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove operates on a long-lasting 16.4 ounce propane canister, which you can find at almost any local store that carries standard propane containers.
Although the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove has sturdy legs for stability and balance, the manufacturers have also given you the choice to remove the legs and cook on its surface placed directly on the top of a picnic table or the bed of a pick-up truck. The legs are easily removed for just such use, and when you’re done the legs and shelves of the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove can be stored beneath the grill. This makes transporting your stove just as easy and convenient as set-up and disassembly. Once you have taken it apart, the stainless steel lid closes and locks so there is no danger created by flipping or tipping in your vehicle. With the exception of the side tables and the propane canister, the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove can be yours for as little as $250.
