Campgaw Mountain Reservation, Ski resort and recreation area in Bergen County, United States
Campgaw Mountain Reservation is a ski resort and recreation area spanning 1,373 acres of wooded parkland with eight trails of varying difficulty. The facility operates five mechanical lifts to transport visitors across different sections of the mountain.
The Bergen County Department of Parks established this facility in 1961 to provide winter sports activities for residents of the New York metropolitan area. This development made skiing and snowboarding more accessible to local communities.
The reservation serves as a local winter sports hub where skiers and snowboarders of all levels come together to learn and improve their skills. Community programs and lessons make winter sports accessible to families and individuals across the surrounding area.
The slopes range from beginner-friendly to more challenging runs, so visitors should consider their experience level before choosing where to ski. Operating hours are limited during winter months, making it wise to plan visits early in the day or check schedules for weekends.
The facility uses snowmaking equipment across all trails to maintain winter operations regardless of natural snowfall. This allows the resort to provide consistent riding conditions throughout the season despite unpredictable weather in northern New Jersey.
