Grampy's Red Rock Rabbit Ranch

2 sites · RVs, Tents50 acres · Schwenksville, PA
50-some years ago, the legendary Grampy David made his way to The Red Rock Rabbit Ranch. There he resides: a good-hearted curmudgeon, a handyman, a grumpy, Ywengling-drinking philosopher, the wittiest mason, carpenter, roofer, etc. you'll ever meet. I'm his grandson, a documentary filmmaker helping to make ends meet here by sharing this glorious space with Hip Campers. 50 acres of serene woods, fields, a pond, and Mine Run Creek. This is a place to relax, to get in touch with nature and reconnect with the people you love. Spring Mount Adventures is nearby. The Perkiomen Creek Trail is only a mile away. Crawfish, sycamore trees, foxes, pileated woodpeckers, and more! Caring for the land: please do not collect your own firewood on the land. That wood is decomposing and contributing to the health of the forest, providing numerous habitats for bugs. Note on dogs: we run a dog-sitting business, so there may be a pack (2-5) of dogs that come through the woods with us on walks. All dogs we sit are friendly towards humans. Food recs: Raw Replenish in downtown Schwenksville has healthy smoothies and salads. Thai Spice is ten minutes away. Trouble's End brewing is 15 minutes away in Collegeville, with delicious beer and a Spicy Chicken sandwich.

The best camping near New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve guide

Overview

About

Try not to pay attention to the legends of Jersey Devils. They (probably don't) inhabit the southern part of New Jersey. You might come across some ghost towns, but not a monster with the head of a goat and hammers for hands. The sprawling area contains a huge pine forest and 56 communities where some 700,000 people live.

This part of New Jersey is a canoeist's paradise with waterways galore. Have a day of fun on the water when you rent a canoe or kayak. Be sure to ask about the conditions on the water when you rent!

Plenty of marked trails let you zigzag among tall, skinny pines with nothing but blue skies overhead. If you love cranberries, check out some of the bogs in the area. Bogs are where farmers harvest the tart red berries that are a fall time tradition in the United States. When the cranberries float on the water, they're ready for your Thanksgiving dinner.

You might not believe that this vast wilderness oasis exists between New York and Washington. The Pinelands gives you a break from the urban sprawl in this part of the country. If you just drive off the beaten path just a little bit, southern New Jersey offers a special place for a getaway.
