Discover New Brunswick RV rentals for memorable road trips

The first European settlement formed around 1681, and it was unofficially dubbed Prigmore’s Swamp. Though the source of “Prigmore” is unknown, local historians suspect it was one of the first settlers’ surname. Later, after a wave of German immigrants arrived, the settlement was renamed New Brunswick in the early 1700s. Brunswick may be an anglicization of “Braunschweig," the name of a town in Germany. The name may have been a nod to the Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg, who became King George I of Great Britain. The town is the site of one of the first colleges in Colonial America, The Trustees of Queen’s College which was established in 1766. This college later became Rutgers University in 1945.

The Great Outdoors

Although the suburban sprawl has largely overtaken northern New Jersey, there are several small wilderness parks and forests dotting the state. Booking an RV in New Brunswick will grant you the opportunity to explore the last vestiges of wilderness in the area. The Sourland Mountain Preserve, near Somerville, is one of the largest parks in this part of state. A modest 4,000-acre park, there are several miles of multi-use trails, and horseback riding is allowed on several. The giant boulders, dropped by a massive glacier as it carved its way north 50,000 years ago, are strewn across this little mountain. Rock climbers frequently are spotting scaling its ancient limestone surface. As an added bonus, this park is one of the few that allows model planes, RC, and drone flying, and a portion of a meadow near the North Branch parking has been designated a launching/landing spot.

RV Parks

When you search for an RV rental in New Brunswick, don’t forget to plan for where you’ll park it overnight while you explore New Jersey. Because of the dense suburban neighborhoods and covenants in place, RV-friendly campgrounds are few and far in between. There are a few options down south, near Jackson, NJ. The Timberland Lake Campground offers a woodlands setting, a large pool, and a fishing pond. It’s also very close to the Six Flags Great Adventure. Book well in advance, particularly during the summer months.

Exploring the City

This close to the dazzling, high-octane New York City, there’s plenty of things to do and places to see. A luxury motorhome rental will make it easy to get around the town and explore all the options. Right in New Brunswick is a world-class art museum/gallery: the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University. One of the largest university-based museums in the country, this museum has a wide array of art ranging from historical to modern abstracts. Zimmerli is open to the public, and admission is free.

I needed a camper at my home for the Christmas Holiday because I had several families coming from out of state. The service through Outdoorsy was great and my host was AMAZING. The camper was beautiful and my son and his family were very comfortable in it.
