This campsite provides a great location to use as a base for day hikes. The tent site is situated beneath a canopy of two large Red Oak trees. This property was formerly a farm and has since grown back to a pioneer Hardwood Forest. There are stone rows throughout the farm and some areas that have been cleared of invasive vegetation and planted with native grasses to enhance the deer population. We suggest day hikes such as Catfish Fire Tower, Van Campen's Glen, and Buttermilk Falls. Here's a list of our recommendations for hiking, fishing, and just plain old exploring: The Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area (DWG) and nearby Walpack Fish and Wildlife Management Area in Layton have many hiking trails (See the National Park Service's website). Great areas for sightseeing, hiking, biking, fishing, hunting. Buttermilk Falls, (trailhead on) Mountain Road in Layton. Hike to the top of the beautiful waterfalls near Walpack and take a 6.8 mile loop trail to Crater Lake. Walpack Inn, National Park Service Rd 615, Layton. A beautiful restaurant with an entire back wall of windows with a view of the Kittatinny Valley. The Walpack is open on weekends for dinner only. Appalachian Trail (AT). Check out the AMC Mohican Outdoor Center located along the trail in Blairstown. The AT runs through the DWG. \ Long Pine Pond amp; Crater Lake in Walpack. Both are spring fed and great for swimming and boating (clear water). Van Campen's Glen, Old Mine Road, Hardwick. The 2.1 mile loop trail features several cascades and waterfalls, a narrow stone valley, and a lush hemlock ravine. Catfish Fire Tower, Millbrook Road, Hardwick. A rocky 2.0 or longer 4.4 mile hike to the top of the ridge. Great views on NJ and PA. Also check out "Hiking Our Preserves" on the Ridge and Valley Conservancy's website for information on 4 local hiking trails. Delaware River- Great for swimming, boating, tubing, canoeing, fishing. Keep your eye out for Bald Eagles! White Lake - 97 Stillwater Rd. Hardwick, NJ 07825. The Paulinskill (Blairstown) and FlatBrook (Old Mine Road, Hardwick) rivers are local spots for trout fishing. On Saturdays during the summer, you may want to try out the Blairstown Farmers Market on Stillwater Road. Hours 9:30 to 1:00 pm.The tent site is situated beneath a canopy of two large Red Oak trees.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Set amidst a serene and secluded area, Twin Oaks offers campers a peaceful retreat. The hosts, Stephen and Carol, are frequently praised for their kindness and helpfulness, ensuring guests feel welcomed. Many reviews highlight the convenience of provided firewood, a well-maintained fire pit, and the beauty of the surrounding nature. However, potential visitors should note the challenge of accessing the site with a two-wheel drive vehicle on the entry road.

    Tent camped with pets, Oct 2026.

    Loved our weekend here. The site is very nicely set up with a flat (stony) foliage-covered surface for a tent or two, comfy seating, and a fire pit (with firewood and kindling and a lighter to get you started). The pit toilet is open to the elements which helps with the smell and felt bracingly natural. The site it out of view of anyone else, you could be the only people left on earth. We didn't venture off site much, but we had everything we needed on-site. Would love to be back one day.

    I had the most wonderful time at twin oaks! The site is perfect, nice elevated clear platform to pitch the tent, it would easily fit 2 tents. The large boulders set up around both the tent site and the fire pit are really ingenious. My favorite thing about the site was the fire pit. I was able to keep a fire going the entire time I was there, and one of the greatest things is that a full load of firewood was available as soon as I got there. And the tools for maintaining the fire were a really nice touch too! The surroundings are green and peaceful, and my pup and I really enjoyed just being able to unplug, and soak in the beautiful sounds and sights this unique and lovely property. Please remember to bring work gloves or use the tongs provided to get your firewood from the wood pile as wood piles are favorite spots for spiders,! Having a great cup of coffee and a really hearty breakfast fireside overlooking the beautiful meadow and woods was just plain good for my soul! I can't wait to visit again in the fall when the leaves are changing. Stephen and Carol are kind gracious hosts, their property is lovely, and it was a pleasure to meet Wally and Daphne! I would recommend having four-wheel or all-wheel drive to get up the hill to the campsite, but its seclusion is what makes it so perfect!

    • First day's fire!
