Campground Driveway is a short, easy hike in Mahlon Dickerson Reservation in New Jersey, on county land. The route is about 0.6 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 57 feet, and it makes a quick out-and-back from the driveway. The trail is flat, with the steepest stretch at about 0.18 miles in, where the grade reaches 3 percent. The high point is 1,239 feet, and the low point is 1,201 feet. Bikes and horses are both allowed. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 70°F in May and 75°F in September, and the station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. The Red Trail and the Yellow Trail / Highlands Trail both lie about 0.4 miles away, and the Blue Trail is about 0.6 miles off. Lake Hopatcong is roughly 5.6 miles away for fishing.
