Q. 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.

Camping in NJ HELP????
I want to camp in NJ. TENT! No RV or something.
Drive there... plan to camp out in tents with friends and bike or hopefully bike or drive to the shore/beach during the day.
Would prefer somewhere VERY CLOSE to Rumson... if n/a then whatever the best options are!
I know nothing about NJ & traveling from the midwest to get the nature/wildernessey aspect but the beach aspect too and would like to do an event over a long weekend.. i'm not sure what.
Any ideas?
Thanks... I'll do it this spring or summer.
Answer
I don't know of any campground in or near Rumson and I'm glad you didn't say you wanted to camp on the beach because in Jersey camping on any beach is out.
There are some campgrounds in south Jersey NEAR the beach from these you can take the car with the bike inside and bike to Mays landing, and just pedal around town which has a main street closed to cars. It's a nice quaint place with a great beach.
Try... Seaside Campground, Big Timber lake CG, Oceanview CG..they all have web sites for you to look at.
Make your reservations ASAP.a lot of places are already booked
If you check out Cape May or these campgrounds it will give a list of things going on
