I'm looking for areas to camp in New Jersey that have mild off-roading nearby. Any suggestions?

Fewer and fewer trails each year in the south. We used to go through the Pinies north of Hammonton/Green bank and towards the shore near the Mullica river, but development has choked that off.

We tend to stay on the beach at Corson's Inlet (http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/feeschedule.htm#mobile) (yearly permit for mid-SEP to mid May).
Atison (http://www.the-jersey-devil.com/atsion%2D9%2D2003/2/) may be ok for you.

or Batso (http://www.off-road.com/4x4web/travels/pine-barrens.html) North of Hammonton

and Batso again (http://www.discoweb.org/barrens505/)

I know, but it's legal as long as the vehicle is legal. As long as your not acting like an a-hole and are on 'established roads' you're good.

There is one campsite I remember passing that was just off the trail, and very close to a canoe launch ramp. It is primitive with pit toilets, I'm fine with that, if everyone else is.

I could take a dump in the sand, bury it and be fine with that.

I have a portable camp toilet I take for the wife and kids, it has a bellows pump to flush it. It works great for wheeling too.

Then they will be dealt with accordingly :slap

AS long as it's not open while driving.

It's like the people's repulic of NJ, you need a permit to purchase a handgun, firearms ID card, and it's next to impossible to get a carry permit. Unlike PA where anyone over 21 that passes a background check can attain a permit to carry, and buying one is a no muss no fuss process. You oick the gun you want, fill out the paperwork, the shop makes a phone call(background check), if you're clean you walk out with the gun.
