Traveling to Glen Gardner by RV

Getting to Glen Gardner with your RV requires some planning since this isn't a major highway destination. Interstate 78 provides the most direct access route, with Exit 17 (Route 31 North) being your best bet for reaching the area. From there, it's about a fifteen-mile drive north through rolling farmland and small communities. Route 31 handles RVs well with good sight lines and adequate lane width, though you'll encounter several traffic lights through Clinton.

Watch for narrow bridges along some of the secondary roads if you're tempted to take scenic detours. County Route 513 and local roads around Glen Gardner can be tight for larger rigs, especially during leaf season when tourist traffic increases. Stick to Route 31 as your main artery unless you're familiar with the area.

Overnight parking options are limited in this rural region. There's no Walmart in Glen Gardner itself, and rest areas are scarce along the local routes. Your best bet for overnight stops involves the campgrounds that also offer dump stations, or heading back toward I-78 where you'll find more commercial options. Some RVers use the parking areas at Voorhees State Park for brief stops, but overnight parking requires proper camping registration.

Winter travel through Glen Gardner can be tricky due to the hilly terrain and potential for ice on rural roads. The state does a decent job maintaining Route 31, but secondary roads may not get plowed as quickly after storms.
