Our horse farm is located in one of the most rural areas of Southern New Jersey. This land was once occupied by The Lanape Tribe. The adjacent creek was named after Chief Alloway. Artifacts of Native Americans have been found alongside this brackish water creek. This farm was for many years a dairy farm which was passed on for 3 generations until the late 80's. Our main horse breeds are 5 Arabians followed by 2 Thoroughbreds and 2 miniature ponies. In addition to horses you will see free range rabbits, chickens and beautiful cows. There are many antique shops in this area which tell the rich History of Southern NJ. Cowen mall and Royal Port are my two favorites. Another must see experience (at least once) in the area is The Cowtown Rodeo, one of the first and oldest in the country, only 14 minutes drive. Cool and brand new Brewery opening up soon right across the rd from Cowtown and right next to The best Cowboy outfitter. https://maps.app.goo.gl/TbK3TfJUDk9Tuziv9 Hope you enjoy visiting our forgotten part of NJ and make great memories!

2 nights at Conowingo Creek Campsite

I came here for a little low key solo trip and I had such an incredible time here! It’s so beautiful and magical - I spent my time sitting by the creek and walking around their property (a sweet little loop going along the creek and near a pond). Gini and Kelly are incredible hosts — when I got to the campsite, Kelly came over and gave me a little tour and even helped me set up the camp stove when I let him know I was a little unsure how it worked. I had everything I needed: fresh linens, the outhouse, the outdoor shower, a washing station, fresh water, cooking supplies, firewood, and a cooler with ice & a camping stove (which were from an extra I added on). They were available by text the whole time if I needed anything extra. Overall I had a perfect time :)

2 nights at Conowingo Creek Campsite

Our family of 4+dog had a wonderful time at Conowingo Creek! Gini and Kelly were wonderful hosts. They have a large chicken area that our kids loved to harvest eggs from and help put the chickens to bed at night. The campsite itself is located ~300 ft from the dedicated parking spot and included a cart to easily transport all our stuff. There is some minor road noise in the area, but that didn't really bother us at all. We also opted to rent out the treehouse for our kids - it includes a queen/full bed and a little DVD TV for falling asleep to movies. We also did a little fishing and caught a little trout and several crayfish (haha). We couldn't be happier and highly recommend staying at this wonderful spot.

Weekend Trip to Conowingo Creek Campsite

One of the best camping experiences I've ever had! All the beauty and serenity of tent camping in a private space with none of the drudgery of the set-up and break-down that goes with a typical camping trip. Gini thought of absolutely everything, and all of the supplies she had on hand were kept spotless and neat in the cabinets. Not a cobweb to be found anywhere! The paths through the property were well-maintained and tranquil to meander, and there were several spots along the creek to enjoy. We spent much of our days creekside, to the delight of our pups. Will definitely return!

Weekend Trip to BozziBrook Farm

It was our first glamping introduction to my 7 and 9 year old daughters, and they absolutely loved their experience! Slam dunk on the two bed tipi, campfire wood, fireflies and 2 deer and chipmunk, and convenient 5gal water jug. Special extra than you to our farmer hosts for teaching us how to light our campfire (1 match!) and for inviting the girls to feed the animals. It's clear they love hosting, put a lot of care into welcoming guests, and get a kick out of kiddos. I am so blessed that this was the girls' first camping experience, and because of it, they're eager to do it again!

Very nice property. The private pond and the surrounding property are beautiful. Although there are houses on the perimeter of the property, you can’t really see them and it feels like you are in the middle of the forest (which you kind of are!). The privacy is just right since there are only 5 sites (4 tent or pull in RV sites and 1 Cabin) and they are spread out around the pond with plenty of space between each. The owners, Dan and Carol, were absolutely phenomenal. Dan came by on his golf cart every day to check on me (I was solo camping in the Cabin). Carol also came with him once. Aside from the privacy and rest/relaxation that I desperately needed, the best part was meeting Dan and Carol. Super nice hosts! Anyone looking for an off grid camping experience should camp here!

This chapel was AWESOME! Very unique, set in an incredibly peaceful and serene valley in rural Pennsylvania about an hour outside of Philly. As long as you are prepared with plenty of food and water, and what you need to sleep comfortably, and are prepared to use a pit toilet, you should have a fantastic stay. It was so fun to light candles and wonder about all the history that had happened in the chapel over the years. Plenty of space for a few people to sleep (we had 3). Susannah was open to us coming across the river to their property the next morning to meet some of the horses :) I only wish I had more time to explore the hiking. 10/10 would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Gini it’s such a natural hostess. My family had a wonderful time staying on Jenny‘s land. It is absolutely picturesque. Gini went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The creek looks like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting. It is beautiful and I love clunking my chair down in there and cooling off. My kids even got to pick some fresh eggs out of the chicken coop. Thank you, Gini! This was all the fun things about camping minus all of the annoying things about camping. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous Park

Elk Neck Campground

Gorgeous park. Private, quiet. The only downside is that the sites are pretty close together and all on concrete. We love being on the grass with our tent but were told that it would kill the grass, which makes sense, but that's the only downside.

Elk Neck Campground

I camped here back in September of 2015. The hiking is exceptional and the park could be explored for days, however the camping area is very cramped, loud and full of traffic. It seemed people never stopped driving around the tiny camp roads. I have camped in state parks before in PA, NJ, NY and VT but this state park had sites literally up against the neighboring site. Go for the beautiful scenery and hiking but camp elsewhere unless you want a festival atmosphere.

Elk Neck Campground

Just got back from camping at Elk Neck a few days ago. Overall, the campsite was very nice. The sites are well kept and have fairly decent bathrooms with hot showers. My only complaint is that the sites are very close together. Luckily we had nice neighbors this weekend. There are plenty of trails around the park. Don't miss hiking to Turkey Point Lighthouse for a really great view. Since it's the middle of October, we didn't do any swimming or kayaking. If you want to get out of the park, the town of North East is only 15 minutes away. There are lots of really great places to eat local seafood around the town. All-in-all we had a really great time (did I mention that this was my first time camping) and we will definitely be back!
