My husband, pitbull pup and I stumbled upon Bass River State Forest last year and have already made it an annual must! The sites are both beautiful and quiet and you're only steps to hiking and the water. 

South Shore Campground

Inundated by the area’s sixty-seven-acre Lake Absegami, soundtracked by the lake’s reproductive waterfowl, Bass River State Forest is a biotic gem amongst the state’s outlining smoke stacks

Located right on the Wading River, you just can’t get any further into the New Jersey Pinelands unless you choose to rent a canoe or kayak (right at the campground, of course!) and paddle downstream to one of the many secluded picnic spots along the riverbanks.  If you prefer to stay “closer to home”, you can picnic at our private island in the river, take a dip in our spacious saltwater pool, fish in our privately stocked pond, or enjoy every sporting activity from basketball to sand volleyball to horseshoes!

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.

The Adventure Farm

20 acres in South Jersey right on the edge of the Pines right off Exit 17 ACE near the Atlantic City.

Old Pine Barrens Blueberry farm

My property is an old blueberry farm.  There is a cleared area that I use for dog training at the front of the property and some trails throughout the property; but mostly it’s a quiet place to sleep in a small/medium sized self-contained RV without slide-outs to the side (your RV or van must contain a toilet which must be emptied off-site. Further note: I DO NOT allow tents).  Also, if your RV has low clearance, there is a slope from the road to the driveway, thus  the bottom of your RV may scrape the ground (neither of my vans have a problem with this: I have a Ford E350 and a Ram Promaster). 

If on the site in July, you can pick a pint or two of blueberries (IF they are available) for your own use. The berries are chemical free.  My neighbor to the right also has a pick-your-own farm with tended blueberry fields (you are not allowed to pick my neighbor’s crop unless he is there so you can pay him)

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 and a month-long blueberry festival during weekends in July. 

Beware that the trails can be wet at times
