Facility Overview
The 107 N 6th St Car Park is an accessible open-air surface parking facility situated in the heart of downtown Camden, New Jersey. Centrally positioned between the university corridor and the civic center, this open lot offers a clean, straightforward layout with generous drive aisles and standard marked bays. Because it is an outdoor surface lot without vertical clearance restrictions or low-hanging overhead piping, it comfortably accommodates passenger sedans, compact crossovers, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, and commercial high-roof vans that cannot enter standard multi-story parking decks.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Strategically located in Camden\'s civic and academic district, the lot is an exceptional choice for students, professionals, and eventgoers alike. The Rutgers University–Camden campus and Rowan University Camden Academic Building are both within a 5- to 8-minute walk (less than 0.4 miles). Camden City Hall, the Hall of Justice, and the Camden County Superior Court complex are situated just blocks south. For arts and entertainment visitors, the vibrant Camden Waterfront—home to Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, Adventure Aquarium, and the Battleship New Jersey—is located just over a mile west, easily reachable via a brief 5-minute drive, rideshare, or a quick transfer on public transit. The facility also serves as an affordable alternative for commuters crossing into Center City Philadelphia via the nearby Benjamin Franklin Bridge.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward from North 6th Street, offering smooth traffic flow into adjacent thoroughfares including Federal Street, Market Street, and Cooper Street. The facility boasts immediate highway connectivity, sitting moments from Interstate 676 (North-South Freeway), Route 30, and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge toll plaza for effortless travel into Philadelphia or throughout South Jersey. For multimodal commuters, transit connectivity is outstanding: the PATCO Speedline City Hall Station is located merely three blocks away, providing rapid sub-10-minute train service to Center City Philadelphia and eastern Camden County suburbs. Additionally, the Walter Rand Transportation Center—serving NJ Transit bus networks and the River LINE light rail connecting Trenton to Camden Waterfront—is situated approximately 0.5 miles south.

Visitor & Driver Tips
During peak morning court call times and major waterfront concert dates, parking demand in downtown Camden escalates quickly. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early or pre-pay via regional parking applications to secure their space without delay. If heading across the river to Philadelphia, parking here and taking the PATCO Speedline from City Hall Station avoids expensive Philadelphia garage fees and bridge traffic during rush hour. As with any urban surface lot, always lock your doors, roll up windows completely, and stow valuables out of sight.
