Pleasant Valley Lavender
3 sites · Tents10 acres · Morganville, Monmouth
Pleasant Valley was named by George Washington himself when he travelled through the area and declared, "My, what a pleasant valley!"
He was absolutely right, and it continues to be a very pleasant valley enhanced by New Jersey's first lavender farm.
Ever since I opened the farm in 2008, people have asked if they could pitch a tent and spend the night.
Now you can!
We are excited to make our farm available for tent camping.
Enjoy the fields, smell the flowers, hang out with our chickens and enjoy all the area offers from the rich history and sightseeing to fabulous beaches just a 30 minute drive away.
Visit the hip cities of Red Bank and Asbury Park and quaint towns throughout central New Jersey.
Our site is private and quiet. Our driveway has a large flag by the mailbox. Our mailbox is bright blue. Please do not pull into #300.

We offer a secluded site nestled among the pine trees that surround our lavender farm.

Cozy up to space heaters in our warm boat during the Fall and Winter (There is no running water on the boat from December - early April, but we provide a water container you can fill up in the nearby marina bathroom).

**Fort Tilden**: Fort Tilden Beach is one of New York City's hidden gems. Once serving as a military defense site, today, remnants of its past subtly blend with the natural surroundings. Nearby dunes and maritime forests provide a refreshing backdrop.

Old Pine Barrens Blueberry farm
1 site · RV11 acres · Presidential Lakes Estates, Burlington
My property is an old blueberry farm. There are some trails through the property; but mostly it’s a quiet place to sleep in a small/medium sized self-contained RV (note: your RV or van must contain a toilet which must be emptied off-site).
If on the site in July, you can pick some blueberries for your own use. The berries are chemical free. My neighbor also has a pick-your-own farm with tended blueberry fields.
My site is in the NJ Pine Barrens which is renowned for its unspoiled nature, abundant, and diverse wildlife. It is also within the Pinelands National Reserve and within the area designated by the United Nations as an International Biosphere Reserve.
Nearby is the Batona Trail, the Franklin Parker preserve, canoeing on Chatsworth Lake or the Wading River, bicycling through the Pine Barrens and and the cranberry bogs on the bicycle lanes on Routes 532 and 563, the quaint village of Chatsworth also known as the Capital of the Pines, Hot Diggidy Dog a food stand within the village of Chatsworth, and Brendan Byrne State Forest which includes the historic cranberry farming village of Whitesbog where the cultivated blueberry was developed by Elizabeth White and Dr. Frederick Coville. The Whitesbog Preservation Trust which manages the village has an extensive year round calendar of events.
