New Jersey State Parks
The outhouses at tillmans are due for a clean. Plus the outhouse at the sunrise mountain turnoff parking lot. Everything else so great Camped in the cabins in 1940 and 1941 with Boy Scout Troop 19 (I think), Hackensack, New jersey. Winter and summer. Assisted CCCs put out a forest fire in 1941. Pulled 4-6 sleds behind a 1938 Ford wood side station wagon in couple feet of snow. Wonderful place. This is an absolutely beautiful park with amazing scenery and wildlife. However, Buttermilk Falls, several photos of which are posted on this page, is actually in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area not Stokes State Forest. I have such fond memories of my Grice Middle School 6th grade overnight trip to Stokes that I am now going back at age 40 with my husband & kids! It is quiet, BEAUTIFUL, peaceful, convienient to facilities. You can get great cell phone reseption.
(CROCKETT)I had the best week of my life.I learned alot there and hope to go back again.i hope they dont stop this trip,because you learn soo much and it helped me alot to under stand nature! My parents took my brother and I here as kids every summer and I have incredible memories that are very special of Stokes and my family. Last summer my parents took me back, 30 years later, with my children. It was wonderful going back showing my children where we played and explored as kids their age. We had so much fun we are going back this summer. Incredible bonding, lasting memories and stories we will tell and laugh about forever. Just thinking of it makes me smile. I have been camping in Stokes for over 40 years. The forest is intact. The state budget is not. Please write to encourage the powers that be to keep our parks and forests alive. We have only one earth! my school Crockett and others go there in 6th grade and i just went and it was a blast!!!! I have been here many times in the past 35 yrs. and always enjoyed my stay. 
A family of a third generation, have being visiting Stokes , a favorite place and many happy memories, We love this piece of heaven. I have been camping, fishing, and hiking at Stokes for years and my family has been going for decades. I love this place and i wont go anywhere else!!! When I was a child my parents brought me and my lil sis there every year. We would always look forward to going there. AS a grown up I take my son and husband there now and make new memories. It is very relaxing and peaceful. Wonderful place to bring the family. Stokes State Park is a wonderful Park to visit. It has something for everyone. Great fishing, hiking (easy - difficult), Sunrise Mountain, Tilamns Ravine, Buttermilk Falls, wildlike, great camping & beautiful scenery. We have gone every single year for the past 25 years. My parents took me when I was a kid and now I bring my own kids. You will not be disappointed.
