Atually, I live just down the road from where the D & R canal crosses route 27, and used to work at the restaurant that is right on the canal in Kingston. I do a lot of day hikes on it.
Not sure where your info is coming from, but the D & R Canal State Park is owned and maintained by the state of NJ and the NJDEP, etc. Authorized use is from sunrise to sunset, and the only place where camping is allowed along the entirety of the path/greenway is at Bull's Island state campground - and it's currently closed for the entire 2013 season due to unsafe conditions. Like all NJ State Parks, camping is only allowed at specified campgrounds. And the 'rangers' are actually now NJ State Park Police ... They won't even let you park overnight in the parking lots without writing you a ticket - I can't imagine that they would be fine with letting you camp anywhere along the path.
I'm also confused at your description of the trail - there's approximately 30 miles or so of canal path and virtually all of it is considered 'partially accessible to persons with disabilities'.
That's not to say that you haven't hiked and camped it in the past - but it certainly isn't a place where that is officially sanctioned. And to the best of my knowledge there's no 'federal land' anywhere along the canal ...
