Hidden Retreat

We had a lovely time. Got the tent set up just in time for a thunderstorm to roll through but the spot is pretty well canopied and we were able to enjoy the rest of the evening back outside. It’s quite secluded but there’s enough noise that you know you’re never really far from civilization. Great spot for off leash dogs who have reliable recall.

Favorite Site to Camp

This is what camping is all about! This is our second time here and we had an even better time. Site is great, it’s so peaceful and enjoyable. Hidden jem right in NJ. Can’t say enough good things. Thank you Shawn for allowing us to stay here!

My group enjoyed our stay at this campsite. We'd absolutely visit again. The wooded campsite was private and secluded. I'd recommend bringing a 4wd vehicle to access it. Otherwise, the meadow area may be better for 2wd cars.

Great hike, great times!

The location is super private, has enough space for many tents and SUVs have no trouble getting up the mountain to the spot. You have to figure out the toilet but everything else was set up great. There is a blue trail (Jenny Jump Trail) that connects to the wooded road that runs through the property. If you go up top to the old parking lot and head left you will get to blue trail. Head right on blue trail to get to the lake 3 miles away. Would definitely recommend and do this again!
