The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (NJ DEP)
Division of Parks and Forestry has launched a new online campground
reservation system as part of the DEP’s overall effort to improve
customer service, Commissioner Bob Martin announced today.
The NJ Outdoors online reservations system can be accessed at
www.camping.nj.gov. It provides flexible search capabilities for
finding and reserving tent sites, cabins or shelters within the New
Jersey State Park System, and it is part of a broader, ongoing DEP
effort to improve customer service and information services through
online and mobile-device technologies.
“The New Jersey State Park System offers some of the best
camping experiences found anywhere,” Commissioner Martin said.
“This new reservation system will make it easier than ever to plan
an affordable weekend getaway or vacation at our great state parks,
forests and recreation areas to create memories that will last a
lifetime.”
The system, developed in partnership with the New Jersey
Division of NICUSA Inc., went live early December. It provides
updated maps and park information filters that allow users to more
easily check site availability and plan visits around amenities and
recreational opportunities available at each park.
Features of NJ Outdoors include:
- The ability to easily update or cancel
a campground reservation;
- A list of current discounts available
at state parks;
- A document upload feature for pet
license and vaccination documents to make check-in easier at
pet-friendly campsites;
- An optional account creation feature,
which allows campers to securely store their payment and access
their camping history;
- A real-time notification system that
alerts campers of events that could affect their stay or upcoming
reservations.
“Whether your interest is hiking, kayaking or simply relaxing by
the campfire, it is our sincerest hope that residents and visitors
will find this new reservation system a convenient portal into
planning their camping adventures in a park system that offers a
wide range of opportunities for enjoying the outdoors,” said
Division of Parks and Forestry Director Mark Texel.
The State Park Service boasts 50 state parks, forests,
recreation areas, battlefields and marinas. Camping is available at
19 sites, from Brendan Byrne State Forest in the Pinelands to
Stokes State Forest near the Delaware Water Gap to Parvin State
Park in Salem County.
