Camp Glen Gray . . . surprisingly rustic, surprisingly convenient, located
in Northwest Bergen County, New Jersey
Camp Glen Gray is an overnight camping and hiking facility located
on the border of Oakland and Mahwah in New Jersey's Bergen County, just
off State Routes 202 and 208 and Interstate Route 287.
Originally developed as a Boy Scout camp in 1917 it is named after
one of its founders, Frank F. Gray. In January 2002 it took on a new
role - the 750 wooded acres of the Ramapo Mountains became part of Bergen
County's park system.
Nestled among thousand's of acres of county and state park lands, there's
never a lack of things to do and see. Besides hiking trails, there is
a lake to fish in (16 years old and over requires a NJ Fishing License).
Rent a boat and explore the lake. Cabins, lean-tos and tent sites make
wonderful places to camp in, and there's lots of wonderful scenery to
enjoy. A sports field, campfire ring and an amphitheater provide places
to hold outdoor events. A Dining Hall (with a kitchen) may be used for
indoor events and meals. Bathroom facilities at campsites consist of
latrines in keeping with the camp's rustic mode. Flush toilets are located
off the parking lot. In the winter, wood stoves in the cabins will keep
you warm. Many of the cabins also have electricity. In warmer weather,
play sports and games in Mary Post field.
Camping by permit only. For reservations and further information please
call (201) 327-7234 or visit the website www.glengray.org.
The camp is managed by the Friends of Glen Gray for the Bergen County
Department of Parks.
