While New Jersey is home to some terrific camping resorts with endless amenities (from special events to in-ground pools), there are other ways to enjoy the woods. Many of our state parks offer camping facilities ranging from tent and trailer sites to lean-tos and yurts. One of the best deals in the state is snagging a shelter at Bass River State Forest.
There are 6 small cabins along the north shore of Lake Absegami.

These cozy shelters include two bunk rooms (one double bunk in each room), a living area, picnic table, wood burning stove, fire ring, screened double door, and outdoor grill. Water and restrooms are just steps away.

If you’re looking for something more spacious, there are 6 larger cabins adjacent to the shelters. Also located right on the water, these cabins cost $75 per night for New Jersey residents and $85 per night for out-of-state residents.

These cabins include two double-deck bunk rooms, a kitchen with running water, a stove, refrigerator, a full private bathroom with shower, electricity, outdoor fire rings, and a screened in porch that faces the lake. Affordable luxury!
