Facility Overview
Situated in the historic waterfront area of Camden, New Jersey, the 601-699 Point St Parking facility provides convenient, open-air surface parking just minutes from the Delaware River and downtown Camden. Because this location operates as an open surface lot without low-hanging ceilings or overhead structural beams, it accommodates a broad spectrum of motor vehicles. Drivers operating full-size SUVs, extended-bed pickup trucks, commercial vans, and passenger vehicles with roof racks or cargo carriers can park comfortably without the clearance concerns typical of multi-level garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
The facility is strategically positioned for accessing local community amenities, scenic parks, educational institutions, and riverfront attractions. Cooper\'s Poynt Waterfront Park and Pyne Poynt Park are within easy walking distance, offering expansive green lawns, walking trails, and sweeping skyline views of Center City Philadelphia. Additionally, the vibrant Rutgers University-Camden campus is less than a mile south, making this location a practical option for students, faculty, and visiting academic guests. Major entertainment destinations along the Camden Waterfront, including the Adventure Aquarium and Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, are just a 5 to 7-minute drive away.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Drivers benefit from straightforward street access via Point Street, connecting easily to North Front Street, North 7th Street, and Admiral Wilson Boulevard (US-30). Interstate 676 and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge approaches are immediately accessible, offering a rapid gateway into Center City Philadelphia within minutes. For public transit travelers, the lot is located within walking or short rideshare distance of the River LINE light rail (36th Street or Walter Rand Transportation Center stations) and local NJ TRANSIT bus routes, providing reliable regional connections across South Jersey and into Philadelphia via PATCO.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When planning your trip, note that area traffic can increase during weekday morning and evening rush hours due to proximity to bridge access points.
