Discover Rockaway RV rentals for memorable road trips

Less than an hour's drive from the hustle and bustle of Newark, the borough of Rockaway beckons visitors with history from before the birth of the United States and the promise of near-wilderness amidst the spreading suburbanization in northern New Jersey. Its namesake river, a tributary of the Passaic River and a good place to fish for trout and smallmouth bass, meanders through town from northeast to south. Not far away are swamp areas dating back to the last Ice Age that are now part of Morris County’s nature preserves.

Discover a Water Wonderland in Northern New Jersey

Birdwatchers flock to the Troy Meadows Wetlands in Parsippany for abundant avian sightings. A remnant of an ancient glacial lake, this 3,100-acre nature preserve is half an hour away by Rockaway campervan rental and hosts a population of butterflies, reptiles, and amphibians including bog turtles in their native habitat. Several trails meander through the wetlands. Follow the Patriot's Path for a verdant walk through the meadows, or the Green Mile boardwalk for frequent sightings of great blue herons, eastern bluebirds, and red-winged blackbirds, among others.

Where to Park Your RV

Morris County has carved a campground out of its extensive park system to set up the Mahlon Dickerson Reservation in Jefferson Township some 20 minutes' drive by camper rental from Rockaway. You'll find water and electric sites here along with showers, restrooms, and a dump station. The campground is within the 3,300-acre near-wilderness park of the county crisscrossed with a network of trails suitable for hiking, mountain biking, and horse riding. Wet a line at the scenic Saffin Pond or climb atop the Headley Overlook for breathtaking views.

Revolutionary Treasures from Rockaway’s Past

Rockaway's history is closely tied with the Revolutionary War. Relics of that past can be gleaned at the Presbyterian Church and Cemetery where many of Revolutionary War soldiers are buried. The earlier structure, built in 1758, served as a meeting house and public forum for patriots. The church was completed later, in 1832.

Jessica was great to work with! I had another trailer reservation cancel on me a few days before my trip, but luckily I found Jessica’s trailer and she was able to accommodate us! She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The trailer itself was clean, spacious, and fit all of our needs. Would recommend Jessica and her trailer to anyone!

We had a wonderful experience renting the Holiday Navigator from Adrian for our community event. The RV met all of our needs as a secure and comfortable operations base, and Adrian couldn’t have been easier or nicer to work with. Communication was clear, setup was seamless and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We truly enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend the Holiday Navigator for any event or special use.
