Hillside

*Closed for the season October 6 - until we remove all the dead Ash trees threatening to fall on people.*  

You can thank the Emerald Ash Borer. It has taken out about 10 of our enormous, beautiful Ash trees.

Sorry guys. Life has been bringing it the last several months, and we have not been able to remove all the dead trees in our camping area yet. COVID-19 is just the latest to draw our time and energy away from tending to these trees.

 I don't kid myself that there is always a risk when you are camping amongst large trees in the woods, however, I could never forgive myself if someone was harmed from a clearly known hazard. I'm sorry, folks. I will update this page as soon as we can safely re-open for camping. 

We are located in the rolling hills of bucolic Delaware Township, NJ. During your stay with us, you are welcome to enjoy our creek and hiking trails that wind through 5.6 wooded acres. There are crawfish to discover, blackberries and raspberries to pick mid-summer, as well as farm fresh eggs and seasoned firewood for sale. Our little 'campground' is quiet and peaceful. I always called it our little oasis, and when it came time for an official name it happened to be springtime when the green "popped" out of the winter browns, hence "Emerald Oasis". We are happy to share our little spot with all of you now.

Fall update: It is a wooded site, and it is not just the leaves that are falling. We have several large Hickory, Oak and Black Walnut trees. Good news: the nuts are edible and delicious. Bad news: acorns are not edible or delicious, they are all loud on your roof, and will hurt if they land on you.  Please plan accordingly. 

Note: Firewood "bundle" is unlimited.

Hillside is for any size RV, travel trailer, pop-up, etc. There is a fire pit, grill to share, table and chairs. Spot is pretty level. There is a water and electric* hook-up, as well as a "dump station" available up the driveway at our house.           *household 15amp with 30amp adapter - will run electric and MAY run AC depending on your rig.

Directly behind us is Dilt's Park - a 60 acre farm park with a playground, tennis and basketball courts, restroom facilities and trails perfect for running/biking/dog walking. The surrounding area is quite historic, with regards to the Revolutionary War. Washington Crossing State park is just about 10 minutes down the road, along the Delaware River. There are tubing and kayaking opportunities at multiple locations and parks along the river. There are several river towns within a short drive - the closest being Lambertville, NJ about 7 minutes away. Just across a pedestrian/car bridge is New Hope, PA in historic Bucks County. A little further, about 30 minutes north, is Frenchtown, NJ. All of our river towns abound with great restaurants/cafes, artisan shoppes, and local 'flair'. All are accessible from the  Delaware River canal path -  a 60+ mile, multi-use towpath that is level, wide and well-maintained.
