Great state park to camp for a weekend

I have to say I was surprised how good this park was.

The sites are grass/dirt, wooded and shaded, come with a fire ring and picnic table. They are very spacious. The restrooms and showers were clean and worked well. It's all dry camping, but that was fine for us.

There was a nice lake in the park, several children's playgrounds and several different trails to hike and picnic areas.

The only issue is the garden state parkway runs through the middle of it, so you do get the background noise of traffic in some parts - but it wasn't too bad. Also note to get to the family campground you have to drive under the parkway and the bridge has an 11ft clearance. So it may be too low for Fifth Wheelers and Class A motorhomes.

We stayed here in a Travel Trailer.

I've been going to CSP for as long as I can remember, and I can't help but go back. The sites are nice and spacious, all with firepits, picnic tables, and newly added lantern hooks. The staff's willing to help out with anything. Some of the sites, the 30 range, are up against Lawrence Parkway, so they should be avoided. Go for sites 45 or 46, but get them early. Any weekend besides Memorial Day and the 4th of July is usually open up until the preceding Friday. The lake's the main attraction, but should be avoided due to crowds on the holiday weekends. The trail system is excellent, and the Interpretive Center is definitely worth stopping at. Hope you enjoy Cheesequake as much as I have! And give my regards to the Visitor Services Associate!
