  • Camp Skylands!

  • Many families make a Skylands campground their own vacation home, renting seasonal sites or bringing their own RV to rest at a lovely- and well-serviced- spot somewhere up in the New Jersey countryside. These facilities are a long way from generic trailer hookups and tent sites. Take a drive and check one out this weekend!

Summer, 2010

Appalachian Trail Short Hikes
With a little planning and a map or two, the New Jersey section can be conquered one day at a time in seven modest day-hikes.
Bobcats in New Jersey
The bobcat, carrying a freshly killed rabbit, slipped through some mountain laurel. Almost three feet long and twenty inches high at the shoulder, in good years she might weigh as much as twenty-five pounds. If desperate--or lucky--she could take down a small deer.
Delaware River Islands
Islands of the Delaware are markers for the miles traversed on a float down the river, and for centuries of human history along its banks.
Million Dollar Highway
All along the Water Gap?s historic Kittatinny Park in Pennsylvania.
Skylands Park
The Sussex Skyhawks, members of the CanAm league of independent professional baseball, play home games at the stadium.
Summer fairs in New Jersey
In spite of all the turbulence in our lives, or perhaps because of it, traditional fairs and festivals remain especially popular. In these cases, it is fortunate that the more things change, the more things stay the same.
USGA Golf Museum
Rolled up in the Far Hills countryside, the USGA Museum is home to the world's premier collection of golf artifacts and memorabilia
Wawayanda State Park
As wild as its name, the land of "winding, winding water" is home to Indian shelters and some of the best bear dens in NJ, a lake to swim and boat on, great gobs of pudding stone to climb, rock to scramble, ledges for leaping, primeval forest, 20 miles of Appalachian Trail and so much more
