Dome structures and glamping tents set Moon Valley Campground apart from standard drive-in sites in New Jersey's Northern Highlands, near the New York border. The campground sits in forested terrain near a creek and lake, with reviewers noting open sightlines from elevated positions, particularly from the dome accommodations. Sites are described as clean and compact. Firewood, trash service, and cell coverage are all available on-site, and reservations can be made in advance. Access involves rough road conditions, so drivers should plan accordingly. The campground works well for campers using it as a base for Appalachian Trail access or day trips, and those exploring places to camp near New Milford will find it among the more distinctive options in the region. Nightly rates run $50 to $275, reflecting the range from standard to glamping accommodations.
Description
Located 50 miles from midtown Manhattan (approx 1:08 minutes) is our brand new campground located right off the Appalachian Trail. The camp is at the base of Wawayanda mountain right between the iconic hikes "Stairway to Heaven" and "Pochuck Boardwalk" on the Appalachian Trail. Hike right from camp up to "Pinwheel Vista" (named one of NJ's best viewpoints!)
At the entrance to the property is the Valley Farmers Cooperative that sells local grass fed meats and artisanal farm goods. You can walk two minutes to Heaven Hill Farm which has plenty of goods, produce, and fun fall activities like pumpkin picking and haunted hayrides. Drive your car from route 94 directly to your campsite nestled in the woods with a great view of the valley. A perfect getaway from the city with plenty to offer.
About 10 minutes down 94 is the beautiful town of Warwick or about 4 minutes in the opposite direction is the town of Vernon. Warwick is a quaint small town with plenty of great restaurants and bars, and famous for its apple picking. Vernon has plenty to offer as well including the popular ski resort/waterpark Mountain Creek and Minerals Spa (Located just under 10 minutes away.)
The quiet charm of Wawayanda State Park appeals to hikers, campers, swimmers and boaters. Forested hills surround Lake Wawayanda creating a restful backdrop for canoeists and fisherman, while steep mountains challenge casual as well as serious hikers. A twenty-mile stretch of Appalachian Trail runs through the park, while the top of Wawayanda Mountain offers sensational views. More than sixty miles of trails are marked in the park.
