Within the northernmost fringes of the Pine Barrens, [1] the Turkey Swamp area is located on a ridge, being a major drainage divide within Central New Jersey.

[2][3] The chief recreational attraction of this park is the 17-acre (6.9 ha) lake suitable for bass, bluegill and catfish fishing, as well as canoeing and paddle boating.

The Council trustees were determined to sell the camp, as a Wall Herald reporter noted, to “a buyer who cares more about nature and a pristine environment than about developing the land.” The Nomoco acquisition also helped protect the Metedeconk River watershed while converting a private camping facility into a public one.

[7] The park features 9 miles (14 km) of trails, an archery range, an array of playgrounds, two soccer fields, and various picnic grounds.

A significant section of the park is dedicated as a seasonal campground, complete with laundry facilities, hot-water bathrooms, and RV electric & water hook-ups.
