The Great Outdoors

Just outside of town is the Watching Reservation, this large area of open space is just a short drive from the center of town. There are a number of highlights that are worth exploring in the reservation such as Lake Surprise, the Deserted Village of Glenside Park, the Trailside Nature and Science Center, and Sierra Loops, which is a scenic 10.8-mile loop that will take you to some of the most picturesque spots the area has to offer. Don't forget to bring your camera and get some family shots here.

Nearby is Echo Lake Park, a small oasis lying in the midst of some busy highways. The sprawling park offers a perfect escape from town and city life and has something for everyone to enjoy. As the name suggests, the central attraction to this park is Echo Lake itself, which offers boating, fishing, and ice skating, as well as some scenic walks around the lake's exterior. Surrounding the lake are rolling hills, playgrounds, ball fields, a snack bar, and a dog park. There are events going on in the park all year round, but especially in the summer months when it plays host to a number of al fresco concerts. Located just outside of town, it is an easy drive with your RV rental.

For those that have a passion for wildlife, then the Great Swamp is a must see. There are many places throughout the refuge to see the abundance of wildlife such as the Wildlife Observation Center and the 1.5 miles of boardwalk. There is a good chance you will spot turtles, snakes, frogs and many different types of bird, even the occasional bald eagle. As well as eight miles of designated hiking trails, take your motorhome rental from Fanwood around the two-mile auto tour route to see if you can spot the variety of species that call this habitat their home.

RV Parks

For those that enjoy beach life, an option is to park your travel trailer rental from Fanwood a little out of town at the Long Beach RV Resort and Campground. The park is part of a family resort option, which has a good reputation within the RV community. This resort is just 10 miles from some pristine beaches, with over 225 spacious sites with water hookups, grills, fire rings, and picnic tables. There is also plenty of entertainment options such as a jump pillow, 18-hole mini golf course and swimming pool.

If New York is on your radar to visit, Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City is an option. The park offers a ferry service to downtown Manhattan with easy access to a range of other ferry services in the area. Overall there are 50 sites with both water and electric hookups, restrooms, laundry facilities, and complimentary WiFi. There are a restaurant and bar located on the premises, but also others a short distance away. One of the biggest draws to this park is the fact that you are able to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island right from your rental RV, and that is not a bad sight to wake up to in the morning.

Should you be looking for just a quick, overnight stopover close to town, your best option may be making use of a local Walmart. Many Walmarts are RV friendly, and if you speak to the manager of the store, they are likely to let you park up in their lot overnight.
