Greenwood Lake is shared by Passaic County, New Jersey and Orange County, New York. Located 50 miles northwest of New York City, it is approximately nine miles long and is one of the largest bodies of fresh water in the vicinity. The lake spreads out just off the Appalachian Trail in a protected valley surrounded by mountains. The sparkling lake water is fed by springs and brooks.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Greenwood Lake was a popular vacation destination for New York City residents, who flocked to Greenwood Lake by horse and buggy and the Erie Railroad. Once they arrived at the lake, steamboats met them at Sterling Forest. Search for an RV in Orange County or reserve a travel trailer rental in Passaic County and set a course to explore the inviting natural paradise of Greenwood Lake.

Getting Outdoors

Greenwood Lake supports every kind of water sport. The lake is typically busiest during the months of April and October. Take your pick from swimming, diving, fishing, water and jet skiing, and boating opportunities. Several marinas offer boat rentals. You’ll be able to launch out to explore the water by sail, kayak, canoe, motor, row, paddle, and skull boats. There’s also plenty of activities to do with an RV rental near Greenwood Lake during the winter months. At this time of year, the lake is utilized for ice fishing, snowmobiling, ice-skating, and snow sledding.

Make sure to bring a swimsuit along in your campervan so you can lounge on the serene shore or take a refreshing dip in the lake (depending on the season and water conditions). If you’re planning a motorhome camping trip with the whole family, a great place to bring kids is the Warwick Town Beach at the Thomas P. Morahan Waterfront Park. The park features a sandy beach area and lifeguard supervised swim area on Greenwood Lake that can be accessed with daily and season passes. Doggies are not permitted here, but there are a playground and volleyball court as well as picnic area.

Those who are partial to hiking will definitely have plenty to choose from around the lake. One of the foremost attractions in this area is the Appalachian Trail (A.T.). Hikers will be able to find easy road access to this entire 65-mile section. Many hiking amenities can be found directly from the A.T. using the Village Vista Trail, which is in the community of Greenwood Lake in the town of Warwick. Warwick is centrally located on the A.T. between High Point in New Jersey to the west and the Bear Mountain Bridge in New York to the east.

Camping at Greenwood Lake

Look for a place to camp in an RV near Greenwood Lake to come across a variety of options in the surrounding New Jersey/New York region. If you’re looking for a campsite that offers both a scenic country environment plus modern facilities, consider staying at the Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort in New Jersey. Although it is not located right on Greenwood Lake, this RV park is not too far of a drive away. In particular, it offers a one-of-a-kind camping experience. Built on a real working farm, you'll be able to bring the whole family here to enjoy old fashioned wagon hayrides, animal petting, seasonal events, and more.

Park your rental RV at one of the resort’s sunny, shaded, or semi-shaded campsites. Every site includes full hookups (water, electric, and sewer), as well as a picnic table and fire ring. Between the sports field, playground, and an award-winning pool area, there’s plenty of amenities to choose from at this campground.

Exploring the Area

When the open road calls, hop in your camper rental and discover all the attractions to be found around the border between New York and New Jersey. The lake is bordered to the north by the town of Warwick and village of Greenwood Lake in New York, and to the south by the town of West Milford in New Jersey. You’ll find an array of activities ranging from a 1914 castle at the water’s edge to antique and boutique shopping.

Warwick is a great area to explore if you’re someone who loves farms and pick-your-owns. Cruise around sampling home-grown fruits and veggies, or do a tasting while enjoying live outdoor music at a local winery. During the summer, many of the bars and restaurants feature lakeside dining and entertainment outside on the docks, where visitors steer their boats right up to the shore to hear bands play.

There are all kinds of festivals to enjoy near Greenwood Lake, including an Annual Boat Parade, the Greenwood Lake Fall Festival, the Classic and Wooden Boat Show, Applefest, and the New York Renaissance Faire. Brown’s Point Park along the lake is great for an impromptu round of frisbee or a relaxing picnic. Just a short drive away from here brings you to the center of West Milford, NJ, where you’ll find all kinds of services and stores to cover everything needed for your Greenwood Lake camping road trip.
