Weekend Trip to Creekside at Crystal Lake
We had a fantastic weekend at this site. Because the weather was cooler, we were looking for cabin camping, and the cabin was thoroughly prepped with everything we might need and was very clean. The outhouse was also spotless. Our favorite part was the outdoor area beside the cabin, with the picnic table and campfire. It felt like we were in the middle of the woods, even though we weren’t far from civilization. There is some nearby road noise, which is hard to avoid given the location, but in the morning we heard birds and the crackling fire helped drown out the car sounds. This spot is perfect for anyone seeking cabin camping with a private, secluded feel for a getaway.

What a perfect little spot! After biking around the area most of the day, this was the ideal spot to rest. Tom and MaryAnn were very accommodating and did a great job making sure the camper had all the essentials. While I didn't get to make a fire, Tom did offer free wood, which is rare on Hipcamp. The location is excellent and is not far from cute little towns like Frenchtown and Flemington. Would love to visit again and explore the area more.

I booked the cabin and one tent site to accommodate our group of 2 adults, three kids, and one dog. We setup the tent near the cabin and had a fantastic time! The cabin is cozy and was very comfortable for mom with two boys. The dispersed area looks great, although we did not use it. The host was very accommodating and responded to my barrage of questions. We felt very comfortable and safe. What a great place for a family getaway!

Weekend Trip to Creekside at Crystal Lake
This cozy little cabin in the woods is a fantastic little find. The cabin is comfortable, cute, clean, and just overall a wonderful place to stay. I especially like the fire pit and sitting out and hearing all the crickets and sounds of nature. The double bed is quite comfortable and the host greeted us and made sure we had everything that we needed. Overall a high recommendation.

Weekend Trip to Creekside at Crystal Lake
This little cabin had everything we needed, and we were very comfortable. Linens provided, great battery powered lamps and everything was clearly marked. We only stayed for one night and did not take advantage of the fire pit, but we enjoyed relaxing on the porch with coffee in the morning. Though the communal pit toilet is shared with others who may be camping on the land, the cabin is separate from campsites and feels very private. We’d certainly love to return for a longer stay.

My husband, our 1-year-old daughter, and I had the most peaceful and adorable stay at the Serenity pink camper! From the moment we arrived, it felt like we’d stepped into a storybook—everything was pink, cozy, and full of charm. 💕
The camper itself was clean and oh-so-cute. They even had the sweetest camper mugs that made morning coffee feel extra special. We made pasta on the working stove (yes, full pasta night in the woods!) and grilled burgers on the little charcoal grill, which worked perfectly.
We lit a fire in the fire pit and cuddled up nearby. Our daughter absolutely loved it—she was running around barefoot on the grass, giggling, and totally in her element. She found a frog, a ladybug, butterflies, ants, and was just so happy exploring and playing with sticks. She was completely in love with nature—it was beautiful to watch. 🌿🦋🐸
The owners were very communicative and kind, which made everything even more enjoyable and stress-free.
Tip: don’t forget to bring bug repellent! You're surrounded by nature, and the bugs definitely like to say hello.
This was the perfect escape from the city hustle. So peaceful, so cute, and filled with small joys. 💖
