Camping in the Pines

Jul 30, 2024

As the days continue to languish in heat and humidity, sometimes the best thing you can do is escape to the forest. Bass River State Forest in southern New Jersey offers plenty of opportunities for connecting with nature while beating the heat.

Lake Absegami, a lake created in the 1930s, boasts swimming; kayaking; and a newly renovated pavilion with showers, snack stand and lifeguard offices. Plenty of picnic tables and grills provide the perfect backdrop for a day of fun, sand and grilling amongst the pine trees.lunch

During the evening the temperature drops, and past the branches of the silent pine giants, you’ll see some incredible stargazing. Campsites offer plenty of trees to hang lanterns and hammocks, and a fire ring to add some char to your alfresco provisions. You’d be remiss if after your meal you didn’t share some stories of the Jersey Devil around your campfire.lunch lunch

If you’re lucky enough to have some extra time on your hands after you check out from your site, you can venture 30 minutes to Long Beach Island, New Jersey, and enjoy the surf and sun on this barrier island. Whatever you do, don’t miss out on getting a homey breakfast or lunch at Lucille’s Luncheonette!
