Weather permitting this would be a put in Saturday morning at the ranger station I believe in Atsion (sp?) and paddle app 5-6 miles to the campsites. Relax with friends and set up camp. They have a privi and water pump there. Sunday morning break camp and relaxing 5-6 mile to take out.
NJ just stopped the Reserve America reservations and according to what I read the other day NJ will be online starting December (guess they want to make the $, why not?) We would have to check in at the ranger station when we arrive I'm guessing 8am?
They sell wood there and I bought a few bundles there last year, it's tough finding wood in the pine barren area where we camp. There are also hiking trails there so others can be taking sites. I will call the ranger station this week to find out about reservations, but I believe it's a first come first serve system for now.
I'm in touch with a few other friends not on this forum and I'm lending out a boat or two for them. Just a relaxing paddle of different vessels and probably an ending to the 2017 paddle season.
Dress for the water in case of a wet exit, which never happens
Talk soon
PS, last year we kept our car with the local outfitter (safety reasons) and paid for the shuttle, about $35 if I recall. We also paddled the Batso last year and that was a cool meandering river, the campsites were high up on the dunes they had a privi or two but they didn't have running water, a very nice paddle. The put in was also a few miles off the road in a very nice open area. Nice option.
