My property is an old blueberry farm. There is a cleared area that I use for dog training at the front of the property and some trails throughout the property; but mostly it’s a quiet place to sleep in a small/medium sized self-contained RV without slide-outs to the side (your RV or van must contain a toilet which must be emptied off-site. Further note: I DO NOT allow tents). Also, if your RV has low clearance, there is a slope from the road to the driveway, thus the bottom of your RV may scrape the ground (neither of my vans have a problem with this: I have a Ford E350 and a Ram Promaster).
If on the site in July, you can pick a pint or two of blueberries (IF they are available) for your own use. The berries are chemical free. My neighbor to the right also has a pick-your-own farm with tended blueberry fields (you are not allowed to pick my neighbor’s crop unless he is there so you can pay him)
My site is in the NJ Pine Barrens which is renowned for its unspoiled nature, abundant, and diverse wildlife. It is also within the Pinelands National Reserve and within the area designated by the United Nations as an International Biosphere Reserve.
Nearby is the Batona Trail, the Franklin Parker preserve, canoeing on Chatsworth Lake or the Wading River, bicycling through the Pine Barrens and and the cranberry bogs on the bicycle lanes on Routes 532 and 563, the quaint village of Chatsworth also known as the Capital of the Pines, Hot Diggidy Dog a food stand within the village of Chatsworth, and Brendan Byrne State Forest which includes the historic cranberry farming village of Whitesbog where the cultivated blueberry was developed by Elizabeth White and Dr. Frederick Coville. The Whitesbog Preservation Trust which manages the village has an extensive year round calendar of events and a month-long blueberry festival during weekends in July.IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ THIS INFORMATION PRIOR TO SIGNING UP OR ASKING ME QUESTIONS (or favors): This site is the driveway into my old blueberry farm - the farm had been abandoned and overgrown with pitch pine trees; but I’ve cleared over an acre in front and some walking trails and I’m also working on restoring a few areas of blueberries. It’s mainly suitable for a quiet place to sleep. The driveway is off of and adjacent to a lightly traveled road (camping is ONLY allowed in the driveway; not the field area due to loose sandy conditions).
Note: because of township rules and because of the incredible flammability of the pine forest, I’m sorry to say that there are absolutely no campfires allowed (or outdoor backpacker stoves with an exposed flame). If you are absolutely set on having a campfire try camping at Brendan Byrne State Forest or Wading Pines Camping Resort.
This is camping for strictly self-contained small and medium sized RVs (width of the parking area is narrow so no slideouts allowed). My Ford E350 and my Ram Promaster fit well but a large RV would not due to the width. Also if you have a RV with low clearance, be aware that the slope from the road to the driveway might result in your undercarriage bottoming out (my Ford E350 and my Ram Promaster do not bottom out). Carry in and carry out and ABSOLUTELY NO WASTE WATER (including GRAY WATER) allowed to hit the ground. NO TENT PITCHING IS ALLOWED ON THE SITE (only self-contained small to medium-sized RVs and camper vans)
In areas not far from my property you can hike, bicycle or canoe. Always be aware that there are ticks most every where in the Pine Barrens so take the proper precautions.
