Discover Wharton State Forest RV rentals for memorable road trips

Part of New Jersey's Pine Barrens coastal plain, Wharton State Forest is a utopia for outdoor enthusiasts.

There are endless ways to enjoy the park, whether you're working up a sweat on hiking trails, exploring scenic paddling routes, or roasting s'mores around the fire pit back at your RV campsite. There's also a dash of history thrown in, with Batsto Village offering a glimpse of the park's former status as an iron and glassmaking hub.

We had a great time renting Phil's RV to tailgate the Eagles game!
The setup was perfect for getting hyped for the game. Phil went above and beyond to get the generator fired up —huge thanks to him for making it all smooth.
The game was unforgettable-the Eagles clinched the NFC
Championship and are heading to the Super Bowl! The RV made the experience even better, giving us the perfect spot to celebrate before and after the game. Go Birds!
