Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
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.

Site 1 - Paradise Valley Homestead
Kathleen was a great host—super friendly and made us feel welcome. The site was really well kept, flat and level with lots of space to spread out. There’s a nice little walk to a waterfall nearby, which was a great bonus. Firewood was available for a small fee, and the outhouse was clean and close by. Just a heads-up: the last mile or so is unpaved, so take it slow. Overall, a peaceful spot and a great stay!

Site 4 - Paradise Valley Homestead
Everything went well. Kathleen greeted me upon my arrival and told me everything I needed to know about the property. Unfortunately we did not have time to explore at that visit. I do plan to return and look forward to exploring

Hammock Camping
When I arrived Kathleen was busy stacking firewood! Perfect timing because I needed wood anyway. She has $5 and $10 "bundles". I went for two $10 ones. I found my site just up the road easily enough (site 5) and pulled my Jeep in and admired the spacious spot. My goal for this solo trip was to try hammock camping. There are plenty of trees to choose from. The site was clean and the provided fire ring makes it convenient to move it to a better location if needed. This site is semi secluded as you can kinda see vehicles drive on the road. I did some exploring and found she has more remote sites that I would at least try with a SUV or better a yet a 4×4. There was a primitive toilet right across the road. It is a composting model complete with tree shavings you scoop in after you are finished. Amazingly clean and oder free. I would definitely return as it a 30 min drive for me.

Waterfall tent camping!

Site 6 tents only
It was a pleasure to Camp in Kathleen's property. Beautiful hiking trails, and pond / waterfall. We forgot the frame for the tent and she provided a fix for us. She was amazing. I truly recommend it. She was very attentive to all our needs and I cannot recommend it enough!
