BARNEGAT LIGHT – If you own a pre-1992 VW camper, pre-1980 vintage trailer or any year Teardrop trailer, you’re invited to a 60-year anniversary celebration of Barnegat Lighthouse State Park’s opening.
The Vintage Camping Overnight is on Saturday, September 23, with check-in time starting at 10 a.m. and check-out time on Sunday at 2 p.m. Sightseers are invited to a free “open house” to tour the vintage campers on Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. Volkswagen Club of South Jersey will be awarding a trophy to the best vintage trailer.
A special and free lighthouse night climb will be open to the public from 7 to 9 p.m. hosted by the Friends of Barnegat Lighthouse State Park. Donations will be accepted.
The shops at Viking Village at 19th Street in Barnegat Light, nearby restaurants and gift shops will be open on Saturday, as well as The Barnegat Light School House Museum from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Registration begins September 1 and the fee is $25 per site. There are a limited number of sites available in the park’s parking lot – 20 for trailers being towed and 20 for self-contained campers. Only restrooms will be available; no showers, electric or dump station.
