Arriving in High Point (Sussex County), NJ with a rented RV

Two adjacent public lands extend the playbook for renters whose trip plan extends beyond city limits: High Point State Park (NJ's highest point at 1,803 ft) and Stokes State Forest. The two arterials worth scenic-drive time are Appalachian Trail through Kittatinny Ridge and Old Mine Road along the Delaware Water Gap. Tank-dump access lives at High Point State Park; propane at U-Haul of Sussex on 6 Lower Newton Sparta Rd, Newton, NJ 07860.

The calendar moment that swings local availability is High Point Cross Country Festival on October second weekend — largest event at the state park; campground demand triples. Aim for May through October; skip January through February. The single most expensive mistake locals see arriving rigs make is driving the old mine road north of millbrook in a Class A, and it single-lane gravel sections with no turnaround; rigs over 25 ft prohibited.
