Looking to do a tour type of ride that has either paved and/or hard packed trails to ride on. Something in a natural setting with camping (preferably cabin) facilities along the way. We will have mountain and hybrid bikes.


Answer
The Delaware Raritan Canal is the place to go. Fits your description exactly. If you camp at Bulls Island State Park, you'll have access to the canal in NJ and PA and be a relatively short bike ride from New Hope and Lambertville, cutesy little touristy towns on the Delaware River.

Where is a good place to go camping in central NJ area?

I have a lot of experience camping, I just want to know a good place that is deep in the woods to get away from everything. Somewhere peaceful. Not some cheesy scout campsite or park.


Answer
That's very difficult to find in NJ, particularly in central NJ.

In western/northern NJ you have 72 miles the Appalachian Trail. Camping is only permitted in the provided shelters (or nearby/within view, if the shelter is full), and only for one night per location.

There are some nice and relatively separated family campsites in Stokes State Forest, also in northern NJ.

In southern NJ, the Pine Barrens offers some nice campsites off the beaten trail. Many of these are sparsely populated in the Fall. There are even two sites, Mullica and Lower Forge, that are hike-in or canoe-in only.

If you want more remote/secluded camping you'll need to travel to upstate NY or western PA.
