Facility Overview
330 Federal St Parking is a conveniently situated open-air surface parking facility in the heart of Downtown Camden, New Jersey. Positioned directly along Federal Street between 3rd and 4th Streets, this lot offers straightforward, at-grade parking ideal for daily visitors to Camden\'s civic, educational, and medical districts. Because it operates as an open-air ground lot, there are no low ceiling clearances or tight overhead ramps to navigate. This makes the location exceptionally suitable for larger passenger vehicles, full-size pickup trucks (such as Ford F-150s and Chevy Silverados), commercial delivery vans, and high-profile SUVs that often struggle in confined underground or multi-deck garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The facility provides prompt pedestrian access to major government complexes, courts, educational institutions, and the vibrant Camden Waterfront:
- Rutgers University–Camden: Situated less than a 10-minute walk (approx. 0.4 miles) north, making it an excellent overflow option for students, faculty, and campus visitors attending events or classes.
- Camden County Hall of Justice & City Hall: Located just 2 to 3 blocks away (under a 5-minute walk), providing hassle-free parking for attorneys, jurors, and municipal employees.
- Camden Waterfront Attractions: Adventure Aquarium, the Battleship New Jersey Museum & Memorial, and Wiggins Waterfront Park are roughly a mile west along the Delaware River (a 15-to-20-minute walk or a brief 4-minute rideshare).

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

For commuters seeking multimodal transportation options, the lot is located just four blocks from the Walter Rand Transportation Center.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To maximize convenience when parking at 330 Federal Street, keep these helpful tips in mind:
- Account for Event Schedules: During major concerts at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion or festivals along the Delaware River waterfront, parking demand throughout downtown Camden rises. Arrive 45 to 60 minutes early to secure your spot.
- Note Your Space and License Plate: Make a quick note of your license plate number on your mobile phone before leaving your car, as automated pay terminals and mobile apps require exact plate input.
- Plan Your Post-Event Route: Exiting north toward the Ben Franklin Bridge or south toward I-676 is straightforward; consult GPS navigation before pulling out to bypass temporary traffic light sequencing along Federal and Market Streets.
