If you’re down for a little history (and maybe a little mystery) Cedarville State Forest will definitely dazzle. The 3,510 acre forest was once the winter camping ground of the Piscataway Tribe because of the mild climate and abundance of game. Legend claims that there is a Native American burial ground within the forest... but it has yet to be found. Spooky! Equestrian, family and youth group campsites are available for your overnight stay. 19.5 miles of horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking trails weave through the forest. They pass a number of historical features, including the loblolly pine plantations that were planted by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's, by a charcoal kiln, and through farm areas whose springs and streams were used to make moonshine!

The camping site was so beautiful. A picnic table was provided and I was able to purchase some fire wood that the owner dropped off at our site. Plenty of room for the 6 people I camped with, two tents and two cars. Plenty of places to walk around and explore and so fun to see the horses walk by! There was some confusion checking in and finding the spot as there are a few spots around the acres. I would love to come back someday!

The campsite was wonderful! They had cleared debris for our tents before we arrived and left us plenty of firewood to last us our stay. The view was fantastic and we saw/heard lots of beautiful wildlife. 9/10 would visit again! Only gripe was the distance from the only toilet (though we were told upfront about that before booking, so they were at least clear and upfront about it).

Quiet and peaceful spot all by it's self. Easy to find and back into. There are lots of deer and you will have horses for neighbors :) I stayed a couple nights here as I was hiking near by. There are 3 other Hipcamp sites on the property and even with all of them booked, it was still very quiet. I would stay again if were in the area. Thanks for having us!

Elizabeth’s land was beautiful and the perfect place to camp for groups large and small. Being right on the lake was incredible. We were on a road trip, hit some major traffic, and arrived late. We had a bit of a hard time finding it in the dark, so I definitely recommend getting there earlier while there is still plenty of daylight to find your spot and enjoy the lake. :)

I loved tent camping at Eagles Nest. True to its name, I saw 3 bald eagles flying over the water. Speaking of the water, the view is incredible. 180 degrees of water surrounds you. The site is mostly in the shade but there are a couple of sun spots to catch a tan. A nice breeze off the water kept most of the bugs at bay. The access to the water is definitely steep and muddy but if you’re half athletic, you should have no problem going up and down. There were a couple of trail rides that rode by during the day which was very cool to see the horses. Elizabeth was a great host! We met her husband (Brandon?) on arrival at the site. We purchased firewood for a fair price and he dropped it off for us. This site was peaceful and private. We will absolutely come back to camp here in the very near future!

Absolutely beautiful and secluded site! The site is in a wooded area, next to water, and is spacious. Lots of wildlife activity surrounds. The views and sunsets are awesome. It felt like I was far away in the back country. Yet so close and accessible. I took advantage of the fishing on Pond Creek. I will definitely return again! Elizabeth, Thank you for making this site available for camping use.

The Eagles Nest has everything you need if you want to get off the grid for a day or a week and be in solitude and peace. I never saw a soul the whole time. The view is mesmerizing and the site is well suited for a tent or three. I was in love with this site as soon as I pulled up.
The shower at the barn was intimidating at first blush because I felt like I was encroaching on someone’s home. But it is not the case. The shower trailer unit isn't on the barn side, rather its near the house. It was clean and dry and the fixtures are modern and well maintained. Thanks for that.
I stayed in the camp site the whole time. Others have mentioned some other activities but that was not my experience. I would not try accessing the water from the embankment at the site unless you are ready for a significant sprint up the bank and open to getting dirty.
The sunsets are wonderful here. Thanks to this host. I will be making more silent retreats here soon.

Loved the campsite campsite! Absolutely beautiful views and we watched so many eagles flying and hunting over the water. There wasn't much hiking accessible from our spot and we definitely weren't able to swim. We had 3 kids under 4 and an 11 year old with us- it was a steep, dirt path down to the water which would've turned into a muddy slip and slide if we swam. Wasn't much of a landing pad, either and the dock was scary. Definitely an adult site meant more for paddleboarding or kayakers. But it was still so much fun. There were little frogs hopping around, too and it was SO quiet. I almost wish we left the kids at home!
