GREAT NEWS!!! As of April 5th, my long awaited 1st Glamping site is available for booking! Please read the description carefully of the "Gypsy Rose Vardo", to see if it's the right fit for you. We 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 Hipcamp, 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.

Great time at this site!
The host was amazing and it is a beautiful camp site with a lot of fun stuff for kids. The rope swing into the pond and the waterfall / swim hole are beautiful.

Site 10/SUV or Walk-in
Do Not Miss!!
I loveed this spot! It was so secluded and picturesque. There were like three different levels of campsite, the central firepit/hang area and large areas above and below to set up tents. 4WD/AWD is a must but so worth it once you're up there. A short walk to a beautiful waterwall and overall convenient location to NYC suburbs. I will definitely camp here next time I'm down in New Jersey.

#8 SUV/walk-in
Site #8 was amazing! Spacious, private and quiet! Kathleen was an amazing host and very available if we needed anything. It’s safe to say we will be making Paradise Valley a year round, weekend getaway multiple times a year!

Camper Van with small Dog
We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our experience on Kathleen’s property. She’s thought of everything and the campgrounds are private and easy to access. So much fun to enjoy with our small dog in the wooded areas and incredible waterfall. We will be back!!

Site 9 SUV/Walk-in
Great private campground!!
Kathleen owns a beautiful parcel of land adjacent to Pequannock Watershed lands. She is a gracious hostess and was very available. There are 10 great campsites, some more wooded and hidden than others. We stayed at site 9 and found it very private and relaxing. It was a large site with plenty of room to spread out. The outhouses were very clean and attended to several times per day. We took advantage of some nearby hikes to the waterfall and Dunker Pond and did some geocaching as well. It was a very relaxing weekend and we do plan to come back!
