Wharton State Forest Camping

Backpacking along the Mullica River Trail in Wharton State Forest. Total trail length is 9 miles from Atsion to Batsto. We hiked from Atsion to the campsite and back due to parking availability of the car. It was a fun trip, but brutally hot. All in all a good learning experience.
We are by no means experts and this was our first attempt at some broke high school kids trying to get out in the woods.

Pines are very eerie. Just because one doesn't hear something one night doesn't mean nothing is out there;-) I ride ATVs out there it's insane

Nice video...I went camping for 3 days there around October a lot of fun. We did the whole permit thing not sure if you guys did that or not. Had a great experience we had a small group 3 tents. We were able to leave our cars right on the camp site which was exactly what we wanted so we didn't have to hike with all our gear. You are crazy just like me lol I did summer camping once and never again its so damn hot and bugs all over. Can't even sleep. I'm not sure of the name but its out in Maryland there's a camp site feet away from the water so summer camping there must be pretty cool. (Check out Camp Glen Gray Mahwah NJ) I did a wood cabin and they also have camp area for tents. Rent canoes and go swimming in the lake during the summer. I hope to go back to Wharton State Park and next time I'll do a video. I have a few pics on Instagram feel free to check out.

I used to hear the wild dogs back in the day when I camped here. I hope this area isn't polluted now, I used to drink the water right out of the streams and sleep under the stars whenever possible.

[@timmcbride1616]

Did you encounter other campers or were you alone?

[@Flame44]

I have camped out here before. There are not many people during the week, I've never encountered other campers during weekdays. just a few day hikers.

[@zachcapriotti2131]

Where did you guys park? And also, what did you guys have to do to get the permit to camp there?

[@ruggedfreedomoutdoors3318]

We parked up by the main office across the street from Atsion Lake. To get the permit you can go online and reserve your campsite. Then check in at the main office on the day of your hike.

[@zachcapriotti2131]

+Spinning Rod Angler could you give me the address of that main office? My friends and I are planning on going soon
