Camping in Allaire State Park guide

Overview

About

All aboard the antique steam train for a ride along the historic Pine Creek Railroad! The historic railway is the star attraction of Allaire State Park, chugging a scenic loop from the Allaire Historic Village, where your immersion in 19th-century life will be complete. Once you’ve explored the living museum, a former ironworks town, head down to the Manasquan River to kayak, canoe, or fish, or set out to explore the 20 miles of hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding trails. As for camping, there’s plenty of space at Allaire Campground, which has 45 tent or RV sites (no hookups), plus 10 shelters.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve one of the park’s campsites or shelters in advance via the NJ Outdoors website. 
  2. Online reservations can be made up to 11 months in advance. 
  3. Campsites, and especially shelters, book up as fast for summer and holiday weekends. Book your spot at least three months in advance to avoid disappointment. 

When to go

Whether you’re admiring the summer wildflowers or taking part in holiday festivities at Allaire Historic Village, there’s always something going on at Allaire State Park. However, be sure to check the opening hours for the different attractions. Train rides and visits to the Historic Village can be enjoyed daily through July and August, but on weekends only for the rest of the season (April through October), while the campground is open from April through December.
