Facility Overview

USS New Jersey Parking at 100 Clinton Street offers convenient and accessible parking situated along the vibrant Camden Waterfront in Camden, New Jersey. Positioned directly adjacent to the historic Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial, this open-air surface parking lot provides straightforward ground-level parking for visitors exploring the waterfront. Because it is an expansive outdoor surface facility, it has no vertical clearance restrictions or low overhead beams, making it exceptionally well suited not only for standard passenger sedans and compact cars, but also for full-size pickup trucks, large family SUVs, wheelchair-accessible conversion vans, and high-roof commercial passenger vans.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The lot boasts one of the most advantageous locations on the Camden side of the Delaware River, placing visitors steps away from premier maritime history, live entertainment, and scenic riverfront recreation:

• Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial: Located just a 2 to 4-minute walk (less than 0.2 miles) directly west along the promenade.
• Freedom Mortgage Pavilion: Camden’s major open-air amphitheater and concert pavilion is situated just south, approximately an 8 to 10-minute walk away, making this lot a great alternative for concert parking.
• Adventure Aquarium: Located roughly a 7 to 9-minute stroll north along the river promenade (0.4 miles).
• Wiggins Waterfront Park & Marina: Adjacent to the lot, offering walking trails, grassy lawns, and picturesque views of the Philadelphia skyline.
• RiverLink Ferry: Providing seasonal foot-ferry service across the river to Penn\'s Landing and Philadelphia’s Old City, accessible within a short 5-minute walk.
• Rutgers University–Camden: Approximately 0.7 miles northeast, accessible in about 15 minutes on foot or a 4-minute drive.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Ingress and egress to the facility are straightforward via Clinton Street and Delaware Avenue. The area features broad roadways designed to manage visitor traffic for major waterfront events. Drivers arriving from Philadelphia can easily access the lot via the Benjamin Franklin Bridge (I-676/US-30), exiting quickly onto waterfront arterials. For those traveling from South Jersey or suburban Philadelphia, access is smooth via I-295, Route 38, Route 70, and Route 42 connecting to I-676.

For public transit connections, the NJ Transit River LINE Light Rail operates via the nearby Entertainment Center Station and Aquarium Station, linking riders directly north to Trenton and the Walter Rand Transportation Center (connecting to the PATCO Speedline for direct rail service into Center City Philadelphia).
