Timberland Lake Campground

Jackson campers can pick up grocery supplies in nearby Holmeson where the Jackson Premium Outlets are situated. There are local gas stations if you need to fill up your RV rental, as well as numerous eateries and fast-food restaurants for dining out. Closer to Timberland Lake Campground is Six Flags Great Adventure, which first opened to the public in 1974. Aside from the 125-acre Great Adventure Park, it’s also home to the 350-acre Wild Safari animal park, making it one of the largest theme parks in the world. Wander through the early-American-themed Main Street and soak up the magical feel of the Fantasy Forest, then get your thrills on the classic family rides of Adventure Alley. Also within the theme park is Movie Town, which is designed as a Hollywood back-lot complete with film-themed rides, shops, and attractions. Adjacent to the park is the Six Flags Wild Safari where you can embark on the Safari Off Road Adventure. This self-drive attraction allows you to get up close to big-game African species, including elephants, rhinos, and lions. Mid-way through, you can disembark in Camp Aventura to explore the park’s bird and reptile collections, as well as hand-feed the resident giraffes. Timberland Lake Campground can also be used as a base for visiting Trenton, which serves as the capital of New Jersey and the seat of Mercer County. It’s home to the New Jersey State House whose period-furnished chambers can be visited on guided tours. Delve into the state’s cultural, natural, and artistic history at the New Jersey State Museum, which also features a planetarium and displays detailing archaeological finds in the region. Another museum not to miss is the Old Barracks Museum, which is the only remaining colonial barracks in New Jersey. It brings the state’s colonial and revolutionary history to life, with costumed characters and recreated rooms. Whether you want to birdwatch in the New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve or enjoy the family-friendly attractions of Six Flags Great Adventure, book an RV in Ocean County and start planning your next vacation!
