Kymer’s Camping Resort

What You’ll Find at Kymer’s Camping Resort

Two hundred wooded acres roll across a shoulder of the Kittatinny Mountains here, and Kymer’s Camping Resort has turned them into one of Sussex County’s busiest warm-weather basecamps. The family-run resort sits off Kymer Road near Branchville, close enough to the Appalachian Trail that you can hike a stretch in the morning and be back poolside by lunch. There are roughly 250 sites in all, from shaded tent spots to full-hookup RV pads, plus a stocked two-acre lake where kids lose whole afternoons to a fishing rod or a rented kayak.

Ways to Stay

Not everyone hauls their own rig, and Kymer’s plans for that. Cabins come in rustic, deluxe, and premium tiers, and there are park model trailers and luxury tent rentals for families who want a campfire without buying the gear first. Standard sites carry water, electric, and cable hookups; RV sites add sewer and your choice of 30 or 50 amp service. If you are weighing options, compare it against other Sussex County campgrounds and cabins.

Pool, Trails, and Plenty to Keep Kids Busy

The centerpiece is an Olympic-size heated swimming pool, backed up by a hot tub and Benji’s Splash Forest, a splash pad built for the smallest campers. Past the water there is miniature golf, disc golf, tennis and pickleball, a basketball court, a GaGa pit, volleyball, and a playground. When a weekend calls for something quieter, the lake and the ridgeline give you room to wander, and there is plenty more outdoor recreation in Sussex County within a short drive. Themed weekends run all season, so it pays to check the calendar before you book.

Getting There and When to Go

The resort runs seasonally, roughly April through the end of October, with peak weeks stacked across summer and several well-attended Halloween weekends closing things out. Branchville and the surrounding countryside put you within an easy drive of day trips like Stokes State Forest, so a base here opens up a good chunk of northwestern New Jersey. Book early for holiday weeks; the best sites go fast, and returning families claim the good loops year after year.
