Pack up your panniers, batten down your baskets, stuff your bikepacking™ bags. It’s a long winter and it’s nice to plan our next bike camping trip and look forward to trying a new spot &#821…

Like it’s an actual campground? Water/electric/Porto’s/bathrooms? Access to the reservoir? It’s intriguing especially as this will run straight past my house in Denville.

I've never been camping there but it sounds like typical NJ state park camping. Bathrooms w/ showers, potable water. Fire ring with grill, picnic table. We reserved two spots right on the shoreline. There is a beach somewhere but it wont be open. Scenery looks fantastic. Rt 78 is nearby, hopefully it's not too loud.

You're welcome hop on along the way if it's not convenient to meet at Denville clocktower. We usually rendezvous with a couple campers at the trailhead on Everdale.

Yes, you get all those amenities The campsites feel excluded, they are spaced out, and it's just really pretty right by the water. I have only gone camping there in October a few times and I never felt crowded here.

@Dean S You do not hear 78 at all.

If this happens, I might join just for the camping.

However, April might be crowded. I don't know! But it's still nice and worth going!

This sounds like fun!!!! Let me check with the family to see if there are any conflicts.

I would be on board if I wasn't cat sitting.

I can't believe I said that statement and it's true.

Cool, counting you in. Getting a third site. Loos like there is an adjacent one available.

List of riders is up to 17 so I booked that third site. Getting really psyched for a fun trip!

Anyone know the best place to park my car overnight without worrying about a ticket and/or being towed?
