Always working on improvements!
My second glamping site "The Medieval Encampment", is available for booking starting April 1st of 2025. I will have more pictures soon. In April of 2024, my long awaited 1st Glamping site was available for booking. It's been very popular! Please read the description carefully of the "Gypsy Rose Vardo", to see if it's the right fit for you.
I also have 10 large camping sites available on our 33 acre property located in Northwest NJ. Sites 1 through 4 are on mowed, fairly level fields and are large enough for campers or RV's up to 30ft, or a couple of tents, and sites 5 and 6 are further back in the woods, available only for a few small tents, sites 7 through 10 are much further into the property and are only accessible with a high clearance AWD or 4WD SUV or you can park and hike your gear in. There are 3 compost toilet outhouses spread out through the property, so it's an easy walking distance from any site.
Although we are only 2 1/2 miles from a main highway, the last 2 miles are on a dirt road with no houses.
We are surrounded by protected land, so no neighbors and lots of wildlife, including the occasional bear, coyote or raccoon. Keep all food items secured. Because we are surrounded by protected land we are not sprayed for insects, so be safe and do tick checks often and bring the bug spray.
We are 45 minutes from NYC or the Delaware Water Gap and an hour away from the NJ shore. There are horse farms nearby that offer trail rides. We are also close to the Highland and Appalachian Hiking trails.
There are two reservoirs within a 20-minute drive for canoeing or kayaking.
There are walking trails through our property, including a ten-minute hike on a marked trail to a small waterfall in a ravine.

Salem, NJ · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Our horse farm is located in one of the most rural areas of Southern New Jersey. This land was once occupied by The Lanape Tribe. The adjacent creek was named after Chief Alloway. Artifacts of Native Americans have been found alongside this brackish water creek. This farm was for many years a dairy farm which was passed on for 3 generations until the late 80's.
Our main horse breeds are 5 Arabians followed by 2 Thoroughbreds and 2 miniature ponies. In addition to horses you will see free range rabbits, chickens and beautiful cows.
There are many antique shops in this area which tell the rich History of Southern NJ. Cowen mall and Royal Port are my two favorites.
Another must see experience (at least once) in the area is The Cowtown Rodeo, one of the first and oldest in the country, only 14 minutes drive.
Cool and brand new Brewery opening up soon right across the rd from Cowtown and right next to The best Cowboy outfitter.

You can board our “Jersey Devil” train ride for a scenic spin through the campground. If you decide to wander beyond our gates, you will find that you are just a short drive away from every major tourist attraction in Southern New Jersey … including world-famous beaches, the Atlantic City casinos and boardwalk, major theme parks, and terrific deep sea fishing.

Sean's land was awesome we had a blast camping there this weekend his 26 acre land was perfect for our dogs and us to go hike on the trails while enjoying the outside area that he provided and having the Porta-Potty was a huge help that eliminated a lot of worry for us. Unfortunately we got washed out a day early but the experience was amazing! Definitely planning on being back and checking out more of the land

The property is beautiful and site 6 was perfect. Large, good tree coverage to avoid baking in the morning in our tent, but also enough clear areas where you can still see the stars. Site was clean with no major rocks and there were lots of good spots to pitch our tent. Fire pit was excellent and the wood we bought from Kathleen was dry and burned well. The walking trails are well marked and we loved strolling around on them. Outhouses were the cleanest I’ve ever seen, no smell from them, and they were cleaned and restocked throughout our trip.
We will absolutely be coming back here, feeling very lucky to have grabbed a spot here that opened up last minute!

This was a nice site. Site 5 is on a road with a number of sites around it, but it is surprisingly private set off slightly from the road and separated by trees from the others. I would stay here again. It rained when we were there but the trees really did help when we were loading up the car because we didn't get nearly as wet as I thought we would.

Amazing daddy daughter camping trip, it was our second time back and already have the 3rd planned. Site 3 was awesome, centered but secluded, big site. We went in the lake, hiked down to the falls, built a fairy house, explored… then a nice relaxing fire to end the nights. Kathleen is a super sweet, very welcoming. Great memories, hopefully more to come !

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!
