A private campground set within forested hills outside Newton, Great Divide sits on grounds that include a small lake, a pond, and wooded sites spread across a notably large property. The layout gives most campers room to breathe. Spots are spacious and campers are spread out throughout the large campground, as multiple reviewers confirm, and the rolling terrain means sites feel more separated than the site count might suggest.
The campground runs a full activity calendar during the warm months, which shapes the atmosphere considerably. Live bands play Friday and Saturday nights during the season, a pool and swimming beach draw families, and kayaks are available for use on the lake. The pond is stocked for fishing. A barn with games, horseshoes, volleyball, and a dog park round out the common areas. One practical note: cars must be parked in a central lot rather than kept at individual sites, so plan to unload before returning your vehicle.
RV sites on at least one loop provide full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections, and the campground accommodates rigs up to 40 feet. Cynthia K. notes rates ran "$96.11 a night," making this among the pricier private options in the region, though that cost reflects a broad amenity set. Showers are clean and checked regularly, but during busy weekends a single shower per loop can create wait times. Sunday evenings tend to be less congested.
The campground operates May 1 through October 14 and fills quickly as the season progresses, so reservations are strongly recommended. Hikers can explore golf cart trails that wind through the woods, though the hilly terrain makes cycling difficult. Nearby, Kittatinny Valley State Park Campground and Panther Lake Camping Resort provide additional options for those planning longer stays in the area. Great Divide tends to work best for families and RV travelers who want structured activities alongside wooded sites.
