Paradise Valley Homestead

12 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents33 acres · West Milford, NJ
Always working on improvements! I hope to have my second glamping site "The Medieval Encampment", available for booking in March of 2025. I will have pictures and description soon. In April of 2024, my long awaited 1st Glamping site was available for booking. It's been very popular! Please read the description carefully of the "Gypsy Rose Vardo", to see if it's the right fit for you. I 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 property, 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.

Dog-friendly camping in New Jersey guide

Overview

Man’s best friend deserves a treat, so pack some doggy biscuits and hit the road. Pet-friendly campsites are plentiful in New Jersey, from rustic A-frames to two-story treehouses. For hiking enthusiasts, try an RV campground around the Delaware Water Gap, or keep it old school with a tent along the Appalachian Trail—the boardwalk of Vernon’s Stairway to Heaven segment is especially paw-friendly. If you’re looking to truly exhaust some puppy energy, hike to New Jersey’s highest point at High Point State Park. After enjoying the view, you and your dog can unwind at a rustic campsite with a communal picnic area, fire pit, and hot tub. Though if your pet prefers swimming, you can make that dream come true with a campsite on Long Beach Island or Panther Lake. With so many options and amenities, you won’t be begging for anything at your New Jersey campsite—but your dog makes no promises.
