Reply to T Spencer Knight Canal Port in Newark

Camping is allowed by the Canal Corp at Lock28B, which is very close to T. Spencer Knight and the Port of Newark. Unfortunately, camping is no longer allowed at the Port itself due to many events and anticipated construction of an amphitheater, market stall area, and amenity upgrades.

The current amenities at the Port are available to cyclists by visiting the Welcome Center. Staff will let you in to use the free laundry, free showers, etc. There is also free Wi-Fi. This is a short distance from the Canal Corp camping site.

Other lodging in Newark includes Whispering Winds Campground, Vintage Gardens Bed and Breakfast, and a Microtel.
