I stayed here twice so far because it’s so private and you really can pitch a tent anywhere,

Jenny Jump Mountain
Jenny Jump is truly a magnificent nomadic camping experience! As someone who has done many multi-day backpacking trips and previously lived in the Rockies, I have plenty experience with nomadic sites like Jenny Jump. I can say with genuine honesty that this is the best nomadic camping I’ve experienced in the NE.
Few Notes for future campers:
-The further removed site does really require high clearance vehicles or at the very least trail rated tires (the terrain itself isn’t terribly difficult, but there is unavoidable exposed rock which could result in a flat tire)
-The site during spring has a thick tree canopy; blocking most of the sun and providing some coverage from rain
-Signage at the entrance is limited; google maps brought me directly there but it is easy to miss

This was the first time our group has gone camping and it was such a blast. The area is very private and peaceful. There is a lake a couple minutes away that was beautiful and we caught a bunch of fish over there. 10/10 would recommend this place and I will definitely be back before the end of the summer.

Awesome place. This is as isolated as you can get with NJ camping. Make sure you have a capable off road vehicle

Beautiful site! We loved camping here—quiet and isolated, with no one around, which feels like the point of camping! It is in a beautiful area that is close to a lot of great hiking. The site had a wonderful fire pit and nice, level options for our tent. We have no problem reaching the upper site, never needed the 4-wheel drive. Even though we had some rain while there, there were no issues with drainage either. We would love to stay again!

LOVED Jenny Jump Mountain. This is my 3rd site I’ve visited on Hipcamp and by far the best!
Absolutely spacious and completely private. We used the main pre setup campsite since a lack of time and it was amazing. Couple of benches,chairs, and a table built from trees.
My suggestion is book for a minimum of two days because there’s so much to do on the property and nearby. There’s plenty to do around such as fishing,hiking,disc golf, land of make believe, etc
Drive up to the main site is slightly rough so if your in a lower car keep that in mind.

Amazing first time snow camping experience, definitely coming back. Loved how secluded it is, which is what I always look into when 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.

Jenny Jump Mountain
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.

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.

Jenny jump was such a lovely site! It was spacious enough for six people and a dog, with room for tents and car sleeping. We enjoyed roaming around the land and sitting by the fire. We didn’t find the second group camping site until the second day, but we were happy with the smaller site we stayed at, which is beautifully surrounded by beech trees. I will say it was a bit hard to find the turn off into the site, but otherwise we will definitely be coming back :-)

Site was nice. We were only there overnight and our trip was cut short by the remnants from a hurricane. We plan to return to the site, with a tarp next-time. lol.

Friend of mine recommend this place for camping. It was first time camping for my wife and boys. Property is large and secluded. Web of hiking/ATV trail at the property for exploring. Main camping area has stone fire pit and bench. I would definitely be back for camping and will recommend this to everyone.
Thing to note:
-Trail up to the main camp area is narrow and overgrown. AWD is recommended and may scratch the car.
-Main camping area has many large earth warms which is great creature but may freak out wives.
-Large acorns fall all over the property may hit car and tent.
-Shockingly not many mosquito and they appear around evening and then gone.
-Turning the vehicle around at the property was challenging
-You must bring own toilet

My partner and I loved this spot! About an hour and a half out of the city. Was very secluded and quiet, our dog loved roaming around as well. We want to come back with a larger group and take advantage of the nearby hiking. If

This was a truly private spot, nestled in the woods. There was a lot of airplane activity overhead, but there was no one around. We really enjoyed ourselves and made good use of the hiking trails nearby. Recommended!

Fantastic site! Was exactly what we wanted, absolutely nothing there. There is 2 sites, one larger, one a bit smaller. We easily accommodated 25 people at this site. Only thing to keep in mind is that the parking is a ~5 min walk to the actual campsite. There’s trails for Jenny Jump very close, quick check / 7-11 about 10 min drive in case of emergencies. Shawn was extremely helpful, was there every step of the way! Would definitely come back!

Good campsite. I thought it was a bit small to fit our group of people. Otherwise the instructions were clear on how to get there.
