Wheelchair Accessible Campgrounds in New Jersey

New Jersey has a good number of wheelchair accessible campgrounds, many situated within state parks with wheelchair accessible hiking trails. Providing and improving wheelchair access is an ongoing process, so provisions may change. It is always worth calling ahead to check on the current status of the campground. It is also worth noting that wheelchair users can receive a pass entitling them to free admission and parking in state parks and reduced rates at camp grounds (See Resources).
