Burlington County · New Jersey Pinelands

Visiting & Lodging

Washington Township is one of Burlington County’s strongest destinations for Pine Barrens camping, paddling and forest history. Visitors should think in terms of river corridors and campgrounds rather than hotels and a walkable downtown.

Navigation

Cell coverage can vary, many roads are rural, and private/public forest roads can look similar. Download directions before leaving major highways and avoid entering unmaintained sand roads unless you know they are open and suitable for your vehicle.

Current forest conditions: State park alerts can affect paddling, water availability, campground operations and road access. Check New Jersey State Parks before a forest trip.
