My husband, pitbull pup and I stumbled upon Bass River State Forest last year and have already made it an annual must! The sites are both beautiful and quiet and you're only steps to hiking and the water.

Weekend Trip to Pine Creek
We really enjoyed camping on Timothy’s land. The site was spacious and there was lots to explore. It felt extremely private. Can’t wait to try it out again in the summer! If you’re going to go in the fall/winter, make sure to bring lots of lights with you as it gets extremely dark. Stargazing was incredible here.. we got to see Orion’s Belt & Jupiter! ⭐️
