State Parks and Campgrounds---State Tourist Travel Information


Located in the Northeastern part of the United States, New Jersey is the fourth smallest and most densely populated state in the country. The state is broadly divided into three geographic regions: they are North Jersey, Central Jersey, and South Jersey.

North Jersey is within New York City's general sphere of influence, with many of its residents commuting into the city for work. Central Jersey is a largely suburban area, while South Jersey is within Philadelphia's general sphere of influence.

“I’ve got you under my skin, I’ve got you deep in the heart of me” was sung by the famous singer and actor Frank Sinatra. This superstar is one of the great artists that were born in New Jersey such as Jon Bon Jovi, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, Bruce Springsteen and Bruce Willis. The massive diversity of culture and art is due that New Jersey is a cosmopolitan city where lives people from lots of places around the world.

New Jersey’s capital is Trenton and its largest city is Newark. In Trenton, you can visit The State Planetarium where you can take a look into the deeper regions of space and also there’s the Old Barracks Museum, made famous by George Washington during the Revolution. On the other hand, in Newark you will have the opportunity to see the New Jersey Performing Arts Center where it’s possible to appreciate diverse performances by national and international stars, Broadway headliner and world famous operas.

The Southern Shore Region is a sanctuary of extraordinary events, live shows, concerts, art shows, and ethnic festivals. The area offers merry-go-rounds, roller coasters, water parks, zoos and the Forsythe's Wildlife Refuge, which are all big attractions.
