Nestled outside the village of Stillwater, NJ right across the Appalachian trail and the Kittatinny Mountain Ridge, Camp David sports three luxurious log cabins: > Bell's Cabin- Main cabin that sleeps up to six > The Chatham House- Sleeps up to ten > Chief's Cottage- sleeps up to ten All cabins have their own separate listing and can be booked together or combined. The main cabin, Belle's Cabin, is made from hand hewed logs and is the only cabin furnished with a king size bed. All cabins come equipped with full bathrooms, updated kitchens, wood stoves, and the main cabin has a walkout porch on the second floor. All cabins have climate controlled heating/cooling units as well as hot water. Camp David was originally a German hunting camp at the turn of the 20th century. It was later donated to the Boy Scouts in the 1940’s. By the 2000’s, it was left abandoned at which time I purchased it and began to restore it back to its true form while maintaining the cabin life integrity. I am a contractor and arborist by trade and the last ten years I have worked hard to bring the site back to life. The camp consists of 13 acres abutted by 100's of acres of state park land. There are two stocked ponds connected by a cascading stream, multiple fire pits with seating, furnished gazebo with wood stove, picnic tables, and multiple park benches located throughout the property. Below are close locations to visit: > Walpack Fish and Wildlife Management Area- Great for sightseeing, hiking, biking, fishing, hunting > Walpack Inn- Beautiful restaurant with an entire back wall, window view overseeing Kittatinny Valley > Appalachian Trail- hiking, sightseeing > Catfish Fire Tower- Great hiking and views > Buttermilk Falls- beautiful waterfalls > Long Pine Pond & Crater Lake- Both are spring fed and great for swimming and boating (clear water) > Swartswood Lake- Swimming & boating > Delaware River- Great for swimming, boating, tubing, canoeing, fishing > Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area- More sightseeing, hiking, fishing, swimming, Bushkill Falls > Dingmans Ferry

Chief's Cottage
Fantastic modern cabin
We had a fantastic time at Camp David! We stayed at the Chief’s Cabin for a Bachlorette party. The grounds are gorgeous and extremely well kept. The cabins are updated with stunning bathrooms and the host Dave also gave us tips for great food around the area. I would recommend this property to both people who love to camp and people who love glamping! We will be staying here again.

Want peace of mind and relaxing
This place is the right place for peace of mind and relaxation. Very nice clean grounds. Cabins are each amazing in their own way. The chiefs cabin I was in I fell in love with the bathroom. The work put into this place is noticed. David is very nice down to earth family man. Staff is very nice as well. Enjoyed the camp fire, melting marshmallows and making smores. The kitchen is fully equipped. And space is more than enough. We loved the pool table in our cabin. We will definitely be coming back again.

Chief's Cottage
We very much enjoyed our stay at Chief's cottage. The place inviting, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen has everything one would need. The camp is quite big. The areas by the ponds are pretty. Our dog got to run and play around on the grass. We got to light campfires at night. David is sweet and friendly host. I would recommend Camp David without a doubt.

Very nice and well-appointed cabin. You can really see all the work that David put in and the incredible history of this site. The surrounding area was beautiful, with the AT and many hiking and other outdoor recreation spots all around. the dog loved it, and there were several tasty restaurants nearby too
