Buttonwood Hill Campsite

Another great hidden gem in the pine barrens. The quiet and lightly used camping areas do require a permit and dogs must be on a leash.. the access to 1808 trail is excellent.

Nice, very large sites. Fairly primitive. No water tap, showers or flush toilet. Pit toilet is pretty awful. Does have old wooden picnic tables and fire rings. Right on the highway so there’s traffic noise all day but it does get quieter later at night. My only real problem was with ticks. Heavily infested so beware and take precautions. Overall, I liked it

A.) definitely a good deal. B.) So noisy. The hi-way is about 100-200 ft from camp sites. And there is sometimes live music at the location directly across from these sites. If you like that kind of thing it's perfect. I am laying in my hammock unwillingly listening to saxophone right now. Picture below shows how close the road is.

Stopped off here last week in passing to take a phone call and decided to venture off a bit and found such beautiful peach colored vines. Very well kept camp. Site 9 is best bet since it's furthest off the road.

I’ve frequently hiked and trail run out of here, enjoying the 1808 Trail to Batsto and the connector trail to the Batona Trail, but this was my first time overnight. The nearby road was surprisingly loud overnight, with a few cars drag racing the curves. On Saturday night the music over at the Sweetwater Marina carried over quite loudly; fortunately they stopped around 11pm. The campsite itself was fine but I think I’ll look for something quieter next time.
