Discover South Mountain Reservation RV rentals for memorable road trips
South Mountain Reservation played a key role in the Revolutionary War; due to its high peaks with excellent views of New York City, George Washington set up a beacon hill signal station on the hilltops. There, his soldiers were able to covertly observe military movements and report back. Nearly a hundred years later, the state of New Jersey began purchasing land in 1895 with its eye on establishing a recreational park for the New Jersey residents to enjoy. Development began in earnest in the 1930s when the Civilian Conservation Corps, operating under President Roosevelt’s New Deal, blazed miles of trails, built footbridges, shelters, and paved roads. This work allowed people to more easily enjoy the park’s beauty.

Getting Outdoors
Covering a little over 2,100 acres of woodlands, South Mountain Reservation consists of low mountain ridges that many people would call hills. The forest floor is flat enough that these nubbly mountains grant hikers and adventurers an excellent view of the New York City and Newark skylines. Around 15 miles of trails wind and weave through groves of towering hemlocks and hardwood trees. Some trails ascend to the hilltops for a sweeping view of New Jersey. Other trails meander past old, long-abandoned settlements, small meadows that were once used as grazing lands, and quaint, picturesque waterfalls that will delight a landscape photographer.
Camping at South Mountain Reservation
In the heart of New Jersey suburbs, there is no RV camping at South Mountain Reservation due to the local regulations and policies. However, a few miles to the west, there are several options that may work. RV camp near Flanders, NJ, at Fla-Net Park Campgrounds. The campground has oversized RV sites for large rigs, and guests can choose between partial or full hookups. The restrooms with hot showers and flush toilets are a short walk from most sites.
Exploring the Area

This was our first long(ish) camper trip. It was absolutely amazing thanks to WheelSuites. Everything was seamlessly designed, efficient and organized, extremely comfortable all in a compact camper that allowed us to go everywhere we wanted and even further than we imagined. We are so grateful to wheelsuites for renting us this amazing camper to celebrate our 1 year anniversary: and thanks to the unlimited mileage we made it from NYC down to Key West and back. One of our favorite trips to date. Will definitely be renting again in the near future!

What an amazing RV and great hosts, couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Matt and Victoria were helpful and accommodating during the booking process; delivery set up; throughout the trip; and at pick up. The RV was truly a home on wheels, they have everything you can think of to make you feel like you are in your own home. Would recommend it for your next camping/glamping trip or as we used it for, a place to hang with our fur babies while getting some work done in our home.
