Best Glamping near Chatsworth, NJ
Wading Pines Camping Resort and Timberline Lake Camping Resort house upscale glamping accommodations in the scenic Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey. Both properties feature canvas glamping tents and yurts with proper beds, electricity, and climate control systems, allowing guests to experience nature without sacrificing comfort. The glamping tents at Wading Pines sit on elevated wooden platforms with private decks overlooking the natural surroundings, while Timberline Lake's luxury yurts include kitchenettes and private bathrooms. These boutique camping options provide a comfortable alternative to traditional tent camping with amenities like linens, indoor furniture, and dedicated fire pits. "The campground was full of plenty of amenities like basketball, volleyball, cornhole, playground, pool, crafts, bands, a lake, and fishing. The place was clean, and there was no garbage around," noted one visitor about Wading Pines.
The Wading River runs directly through Wading Pines Camping Resort, creating unique glamping experiences where guests can tube down the river from one end of the property to the other in about 30 minutes. The campground also offers guided canoe trips with drop-off service at designated points along the river. Seasonal activities at both glamping resorts include live music performances during summer months, organized crafts, and access to fishing lakes. Several hiking trails through the Pine Barrens connect to the glamping sites, providing opportunities to explore the unique ecosystem known for its dark rivers colored by natural tannins from decaying pine trees. According to a recent visitor, "They have this great river that goes through the place so you can walk and throw your tube in and float to the other side of the park 30 mins later get out and do it again." Both glamping resorts maintain fully stocked stores with supplies and operate seasonally, typically from April through October.
