RV rental Jenny Jump State Forest, NJ: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Many of us visit national forests for hiking, and at Jenny Jump State Forest you’ll find around 11-miles of trails for you and the family to explore. When camping with an RV here, the majority of the trails start right on your doorstep. Many of the trails are quite short, being under a mile long, but this opens them up to the whole family as they are generally easy to moderate. The longest hike is the 8.6-mile Jenny Jump Trail that starts close to the park office and winds along with a series of ridges, finishing on Mountain Ridge Road. The trail is graded as moderate, so most people can manage it, and it is generally through forests, so cool and shady in the summer. For a slightly shorter hike of around six miles, take the Summit Trail for about 1.4-miles until it intersects the Ghost Lake Trail, which continues on for a further 1.8-miles. The trail follows the ridgeline for much of the route, passing scenic views and then crossing Ghost Lake. For a shorter loop hike, you can combine the Spring Trail and Swamp Trail to make a 1.35 loop near the camping area. Graded moderate to easy, it is suitable for most people. At Ghost Lake, you’ll find a boat launch for small craft, and there is fishing in the lake where you can catch bass, catfish, and sunfish. At Mountain Lake, you can fish from the shoreline. Picnicking is popular in the park, and there is a small shaded picnic area with tables and barbecue grills. Bear in mind that alcohol is prohibited on the campground and while dogs are allowed on most of the park, they are not allowed in the overnight facilities.
