Best all-around: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

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.

Site 6 tents only

Trust the instructions! its down a rough-er terrain of dirt road, just be careful and try to get there before nightfall for better lighting on the road! :)

Site 5 tents only

The site was beautiful! There were other sites nearby but you almost couldn’t tell. Firewood was available for purchase and hiking trails on the property were great!

Site 9 SUV/Walk-in

Site 9 - Great experience!

My family and I genuinely enjoyed our camping experience on Kathy’s land! Site 9 was a pleasure— felt secluded and conveniently had access to an outhouse minutes away via walking. After looking at the photos, our tent was set up in the same spot as previous campers- the spot is inclined so keep that in mind. Site 9 def needs a 4WD or AWD vehicle at least with clearance. It was also a closer site to access the waterfall trail, pond, and other trails to hike on; we hiked a longer trail which eventually led us back to the main house and we got to view the other sites on foot; great hike and experience! Kathy stopped by after sunset to introduce herself which was super kind and friendly, and she responded really quick to all our questions. This place is great, really interested in camping here again!

Site 2 - Paradise Valley Homestead

Returning for another stay 😃

Loved the area. We returned after a year, and still feels very welcoming. Felt the need to get some utility out of my geared-out 2WD family truck, and site 2 was perfect for our family's stay.

The campground was great! No complaints. Kathleen was lovely and a wonderful host. We would go back again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to camp in the area :)
