This state park is beautiful with hiking, water, and camping options. The upper loop of the Shotwell campground is more private, and the “lean tos” aren’t really lean tos more like completely closed cabins. There are trails right from the campground and the bathrooms were clean and everything well maintained. There is fresh potable water on your way in too! We will be back!
After checking in at the Ranger Station and picking up some firewood, we headed off to find our site (Steammill). They give you directions but it still can be a challenge. Trust the signs.
Our stite was clean and to our surprise it had a wooden platform big enough for our tent.
The sites are far enough apart to give some privacy.
There is a water source by the bridge to recharge your water supply.
Overall a great place to chill.
We rented a cabin in the YMCA section.
It was well maintained and beutiful. I was sad to leave. Can't wait to go back
The greatest place in NJ is and will always be Sussex County! Stokes is my favorite part but I genuinely love the whole county and if I don’t leave Jersey one day it will be because I relocated to Sussex!
The campsites are well kept but the facilities such as the bathrooms and showers and pretty unclean. Our family has been camping at stokes for about 25 years and the bathrooms/showers have always been an issue. Showers have an outstanding amount of mold on the walls, improper drainage and the bathrooms are filthy and are clearly not cleaned as often as they should be. Also the dry wells built under the water well has stagnant water due to improper drainage.
Love it. Been family camping trip 25 yrs
Very nice park, the cleared field is perfect for a soccer game. Nothing spectacular or out of this world, but for what it is, it's very nice. People clean up after themselves here as evidenced by a lack of litter. Bathrooms were in good shape.
To picnic and hike on the trails that run beside streams.Fill A jug with the clear-cool spring water

This is an amazing, unique and artistic place. There is something unusual everywhere you look. It is truly a one of a kind exhibit of eclectic art abounding in vibrant colors.
