We attended a wedding in Spring Lake, NJ on Saturday, June 16, 2007 followed by a reception in Red Bank, NJ. Rather than take a hotel room, we decided to make it a mini vacation. There are several campgrounds in the area. One in particular caught our attention. It is located in Freehold, NJ, which put us within 20 to 30 minutes of the ceremony and reception. The park is called Turkey Swamp Park. It is by far one of the nicest campgrounds we’ve encountered. All the sites are pull-through with water and electric hook ups (dump facility). Be sure to bring along extra water hose and power cord. (At least 50 feet of water hose and a 25-foot power cord extension). There is 17-acre lake with recreational facilities for non-powered boating (canoes, paddle boats and row boats can be rented), swimming and fishing. All the sites are located so as to maximize privacy and yet have well placed trees for shading. We arrived on Friday, June 15th and left early Sunday morning (the 17th) to start the next leg of our travels . . . Sandusky, OH area.
