New Jersey, 

Even though New Jersey maintains a series of state forests, they don’t allow dispersed camping anywhere. Most boondockers generally rely on finding secluded sites within the state forest system and try to evade notice from forest rangers.

Non-residents 70 and over must purchase a license. License must be visibly displayed on outer clothing. License and trout stamp are both valid from date of purchase through Dec. 31. A person must reside in New Jersey for at least the previous six months to obtain a resident fishing license.

Trout is probably the most popular fish in New Jersey, so it’s no surprise that Brook Trout is the official state fish. These stunning creatures hold a special place in the hearts of New Jersey anglers. To what do they owe this pleasure? Well, they’re delicious for one, and they also put up a great fight at the end of a line.

Rhode Island, 

Boondocking in Rhode Island is largely non-existent due to the lack of federal recreation lands, very few state wildlife management units, and high-density population over a very small area. Primitive camping is largely the domain of private property owners willing to let you camp on their grounds.

In a Class A RV, you should be able to spend up to two weeks on average before needing to refill fuel, freshwater, and propane and dump the gray and black water tanks. You could even boondock longer than that, depending on how many people are with you.

Rhode Island has many attractions, but the top attractions include1234:

• Block Island
• Newport Cliff Walk
