Timberland Lake Campground is definitely the place to be if you want to be close to the attractions and theme parks in the Shore Region of New Jersey. It is the closest campground to Six Flags Great Adventure, which of course is a great park for both kids and adults, and is often considered one of the “must see” activities in this part of New Jersey. The advantage to staying at the Timberland Lake Campground is that they offer a good discount package deal that makes the tickets to get in to Six Flags a bit less expensive. Timberland Lake Campground is also very close to the Jackson factory outlet mall, so if you want to do some shopping (or if you forget something that you need) this is handy too. Of course, being in the Jersey Shore area you aren’t far from the beach. Be sure to remember your swimming and fishing gear if you plan to camp here or anywhere in the shore area. There are also lots of places where you can rent or buy gear if you happen to forget yours or find that there’s something else that you want or need.
The campsites themselves are pretty good sized. You don’t feel as though you are camping right on top of your neighbor. They are wooded enough to give some sense of privacy also. If you have an RV with a cable TV hookup you’ll be glad to know that Timberland Lake campground offers free cable TV. They’re open from March 1st to December 1st, and pretty reasonably priced at $34/night. The campground itself was large enough to accommodate a pretty good number of campers without feeling cramped or overcrowded. Overall I would recommend that you check out this campground if being close to Six Flags (and getting a discount there) is important to you. Their motto is “Family Camping in a Natural Environment” and Timberland Lake Campground does a good job of providing exactly that.
