Turkey Swamp Park (Monmouth County Park)

Modesty Freeman

Stayed here the night of 8/28/25 & everything went smooth. Park was nice & quiet, office staff was extremely nice, they come & pick up your trash for you at your campsite which is a bonus. Restrooms were clean & the spots were in shaded areas. Only Paid $45 for the night.

I spent some time at Turkey Swamp Park and it was a really relaxing experience. The trails wind through quiet woods with a lot of shade, which made the walk feel calm and a little more secluded compared to busier parks. The lake was the highlight for me. It’s peaceful with spots where you can pause and take in the view or snap some photos. I managed to get a few nice shots !! The park has a simple, natural vibe, nothing too flashy, which I actually liked—it felt like a good place to clear my head and just enjoy being outdoors. Overall, it was a low-key but rewarding walk, and I’d go back again for another quiet afternoon.

This review is specifically about the Nomoco Road activity area and campgrounds. What an awesome spot for an easy camping weekend. Very well maintained grounds with large clean platform tents that comfortably sleep a family of 4 per tent but could fit 6 if needed. Our site had 6 platform tents with plenty of space for the kids to run around, a picnic pavilion with 3 picnic tables underneath and another 3 tables in the open. There was also a fire ring with 4 benches and a spigot with running water. Portapotties were right at the entryway to the camping area as well as beautiful air conditioned bathrooms by the main field area. There are several of these sites with ample tree cover for privacy but a large group in multiple sites would be fine. The main field is very large and well maintained and there was also a basketball court and volleyball court. Turkey Swamp recreational area with the lake is a bit far to walk to but it is about a 5 minute car ride to the lake, trails, etc. Overall an excellent spot to camp without really having to rough the outdoors.
