Over 26 acres of open woods for you to choose where and how you would like to set up camp. There is only one reservation allowed at a time, so the entire property is yours to enjoy. There is an open lot of approximately 2 acres at the beginning of the property adjacent to a quiet back road where you can park or set up camp. The back of the property is ideal for complete privacy and peace and quiet. This property connects to over four thousand acres of State Land that can be explored as you please. Fourteen miles of hiking trails offer magnificent views of the mountains and scenic Mountain Lake. The UACNJ Observatory at Jenny Jump is short drive, or a nice hike, from the property where free lectures and observing are open to the public every Saturday evening from April through October. The famous Shades of Death Road and Ghost Lake are also a short drive from the campsite.Over 26 acres of open woods for you to choose where and how you would like to set up camp.

My friend and I had a great night at Shawn’s site! The camping area is a nice big clearing but there’s tons of space to roam around and explore! It’s far enough back that we couldn’t hear much from any roads, but only about a 10 minute drive from a little downtown area. We would absolutely go back!

Property was beautiful in the fall. Stayed up at the second site. You definitely need 4x4 or high clearance to get up the path to second site. Both sites were large and had fire pits. The surrounding area is lovely will definitely stay here again.

Really beautiful, and quiet. If it weren’t for the distant barking from dogs at neighboring houses, you would think you were completely isolated. Easy to find. Full cell service. We chose the smaller campsite. We also drove 15 minutes to sit in on one of the free summer lectures at the observatory (April-Oct). Great spot - definitely coming back.

Nice remote spot not far from NYC
Really good place to escape. Only like 40 miles from NYC. There is a good, large spot to set up camp and endless hiking and fire wood (if you are willing to gather your own). Very late at night or I guess early in the morning you can very remotely hear trucks on Rt 80 but otherwise feels remote. Make sure you have a higher clearance on vehicle bc it is a bit off-road with areas you can scrape the vehicle bottom. There are two nice benches near the fire pit, could use a table. Overall highly recommend.
