The best forest camping near Staten Island

·

Staten Island packs over 700 forest campsites into its green corners, with options starting at $40 a night and an average price tag of $45. These aren’t just clearings in the woods—you’ll find sites with toilets, campfires allowed, and pet-friendly policies. Hike beneath dense canopies, spot deer at dawn, or slip into a swimming hole when the weather turns humid. If you want trusted spots, Paradise Valley Homestead (798 reviews), Jenny Jump Mountain (60 reviews), and Oak Grove Acres (38 reviews) come up again and again in conversation. Expect thick woods, trails that actually challenge your legs, and the kind of quiet you can’t get anywhere else in New York City. Bring your own tent or gear and dive in—just don’t forget your bug spray.

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.
