Just got back from our second stay at Camp Taylor; the last was in September 2021 and we loved it…read morejust as much this trip as the last! We camp at the rustic tent sites, and there is plenty of room for 2 cars and 2 tents. Depending on how you want your setup, there are sites that are more secluded and some that are closer so you can maybe plan a group outing and stay at adjoining sites. The staff are all lovely and take the time to explain the rules both in-person at check-in and on the forms they provide. They are not hiding how seriously they take rules like quiet hours, and it will keep campers like me coming back. If you are respectful of the folks around you and especially during the posted quiet hours, you will have no problems. The office and shop keep supply of snacks, gifts, and firewood that burns well. There are flush toilets mapped in spots of the tent sites, and showers available at the same complex as the office. We already can't wait to come back!

Nice and clean campground with tent and RV sites. Some of the sites have more privacy and tree…read morecoverage than others. The bathrooms and showers are clean and the store sells ice and firewood (no outside firewood allowed). Each tent site has water and electricity, a fire pit (with built in BBQ grill), and a picnic table. There's a play field with 2 Cornhole sets (bags can be borrowed from the store) and a pond for swimming (but no dogs allowed). There's good hiking and access to a river nearby about a short 10 minute drive away. Prices are higher than other spots in the area - tent sites are $55/night for 2 adults plus $17 per adult per night with max of 4 adults per site. If you arrive before 3pm, they'll charge you $6 per person for an early check in (unless it's a busy weekend when you'll have to pay for an extra night at $55). I arrived at 1pm and hoped they'd just waive the fee given that it was a super slow weekend and there were a ton of tent sites available (including mine), but unfortunately the manager insisted that I either pay the additional fees or wait around for 2 hours. The staff were very nice and sweet and were willing to compromise given the absurdity of the rules based on just a 2 hour early arrival, but then unfortunately their manager (elderly guy - based on other reviews I'm gonna guess it was Mr. Taylor) came out and was rude and condescending about the whole thing which was disappointing, particularly since I've been to this campground several times over the years and usually have a really good experience. Other than Gramps McRuderson (aka Mr. Taylor), I had a decent time with my friends here and would consider going back (so long as we don't cross paths with Mr. GrumpyFace on one of his "bad" days lol).

We are tent campers and went here during phase 2 of Covid. Luckily our tent sites were very close…read moreto the bathroom and showers because there is only 1 on site. The staff was friendly and since we have kids were were happy they enforced quiet hours of 10pm. The bathroom was clean and new, however you have to hold the chain to get water. If you do not hold the chain, there is no water so you stand there freezing while you shampoo your hair. We were able to see wildlife and even went fishing. Luckily the pool and playgrounds were open. There is 2 different playgrounds which is exciting for toddlers. They also have a place you can mine for gems, which the kids enjoyed. Unfortunately, due to COvid,some activities were closed, but it seems like there is tons of stuff normally. It does seem to be primarily RVs but that's not a problem for us. We will likely go back next year.

Attention campers from Texas (and many other states!) - Do not make a reservation here unless you…read moreare willing to be confined to your camp site for 14 days. That includes using the restrooms or taking your dog to the dog park. This confinement policy is nowhere on their site and we didn't find out until we read the fine print of the deposit confirmation. You know - AFTER we had paid the $350 deposit for 3 week stay! As soon as we realized we couldn't take our dog to the dog park, we immediately called to cancel the reservation, only a day and a half after we made it. We were planning to leave Texas on the 1st, arrive there on the 3rd and stay until the 24th. It's not fair to the dog to keep him chained up and on leash for two weeks, and the dog park was one of the reasons we chose the place. I called to explain the situation and they did cancel the reservation, but then refused to refund the deposit, because "We've held that site for you". For a day?! And when I tried to explain that had their policy been anywhere on the site we wouldn't have made the reservation in the first place, I was met with attitude, rudeness and then the lady hung up on me! I would have even been happy with a half refund. And I don't even have a problem with the policy! Just tell me before hand so that I know this is something I can't do! This is essentially a bait-and-switch: I paid for something I'm not allowed to use I'm disappointed because we were really looking forward to the trip and the campsite looked great. Before I made the call to their office, I was even planning to go there at some point in the future. But now, between their business practices and flat out rudeness, that's not going to happen. I'm attaching 2 pictures - one is the reservation confirmation with NO mention of the policy and the other is the deposit receipt with first mention of the quarantine policy in fine print at the very bottom of a long email. And I hate that I have to give them any stars at all.

Strangely being from northern NYS where most Jeresy folk head to for…read moregreat day hikes, I find myself going South for some of the best camp spots in the state of Jersey! NYS doesn't have a centralized booking system for campsites like NJ does which makes the, booking, experience so much easier especially for noobs like me. I visited the group camping site at this state park for a large meetup family group camping trip. I passed several solo camp sites down the road leading up to the group camp site and all the sites seemed to be situated nicely along the road side. Working facilities are near the individual camp sites but for the group sites you get the good 'ol fashion out house which I wasn't a fan of but managed to drop it like it's hot as needed right down into the abyss of a hole for the toilet. No showers or working facilities near the group site but you can drive over to one for a hot shower. The best part of this state park is the absolutely awesome astronomy club that has an observatory you can visit and use the super expensive telescopes to see other planets with the guide of an astronomer. The staff at the astronomy club are all eager and delighted to answer questions to all who are curious. Peering through a telescope to see the rings of Saturn is absolutely awesome! If interested the observatory is located within a stones throw from the main park entrance at 333 State Park Road, Great Meadows, NJ 07838. The observatory is free to visit but they do have donation bins there to help support their projects and facility. While this state park doesn't have as many camp sites as other locations I've visited, the astronomy club makes this place an epic visit!

This is not a bad place to stay, and I would stay again…read more But They lose 1 Star Becasue of the roads. Oh. My. God. The. Roads. We've traveled over 5000 miles this holiday and stayed in a variety of camp grounds and take the worse roads you have ever seen and times it by 10. It was scary pulling the rv in. Major MASSIVE pot holes, un even roads. Lose 1 star due to presentation. I wish I had taken more photos. But this place does not show a "camp ground" it is more like an "trailer park". Many (most all) the guests clearly live there full time. Many units it looks like a dump outside. Trash and garbage everywhere. And trailers are packed in TIGHT. Bumper to bumper! Many units have freezers outside and most have diy trashing looking trailer skirts. This is not entirely the parks fault but several units didn't even watch their kids! I saw a kid chase a dog and it's owner, the dog Trying to bite it and the kid tried to go into the persons camper! And this same kid would not stop taunting and teasing my own dogs so much that I couldn't even walk them. Cars are parked all over the area, making it difficult to get in and out. To get into the park, someone had to move their car. To leave the park we had to inch by as there were 10+ cars parked along the exit. The exit, which has METAL SPIKES to prevent you from coming in the wrong way. Staff was friendly and gave us no issues! The pool area and the gorgeous lake were in good condition. So much potential here if the roads were better and the tenants cleaned up. The game groom is indoors and has carpet. But they must leave the door open, as the floor looked like the ground of a forest eoth leaves, dirt and debris everywhere. Most the water hookups had heaters attached to them. This was not our sight, but the photo shows our neighboring site, a big dangerous imo
