WHARTON STATE FOREST - For Camping Reservations call (609) 561-3262

Alcoholic beverages are NEVER permitted on the rivers nor at the campsites. Rangers do patrol, and violators can be fined and arrested. Pets are permitted on the rivers, inside of boats, during the day. In addition, pets are permitted at several WSF campsites overnight (including Goshen Pond, Batona Camp, Lower Forge, and Hawkins Bridge) if the pet owners present proof of up to date vaccinations. Permits for campsites along the Wading River are obtained at Batsto. Permits for the Mullica and Batsto River campsites may obtained either at Batsto or the Atsion Ranger Station. Fire permits are only issued when conditions are suitable, so you should always have an alternate cooking means such as propane or Coleman stove. It is recommended that you reserve your camping permit in advance.
