First Time Camper? This Accessible Farm Campsite in New Jersey Will Make You a Camping Convert

I'll be honest—I would not consider myself the camping type! When I travel, I usually want all the creature comforts I can get. But once in a while, I see a campsite that makes me totally get it; there's something stunning about sleeping in the great outdoors, surrounded by the majesty of nature. If you're looking to test your camping skills in a safe and enriching environment, there's a horse camp in New Jersey that might be just the ticket. Countryside Horse Farm is located in one of the most rural areas of New Jersey, in the tiny town of Quinton in Salem County. This farmstay offers a host of camping options, including an on-site lodging site, a tent site, and plenty of RV spots with electric hookups. This is a working farm, so you might have company here—and not just the human kind!

One of the most popular HipCamp sites in New Jersey, Countryside Horse Farm makes you feel like you just stepped into a charming western adventure. The entire site has beautiful decorations, and the sprawling farm is filled with recreation options perfect for families. This is a working horse farm, so you should expect to see animals just about everywhere!

While you'll probably be able to see the horses within minutes of getting up in the morning, this campsite is well-organized; there are campsite options for just about everyone, including RV hookups if you want all the comforts of home while camping, and a more rustic tent site. I'm definitely partial to the idea of a campsite close to the thoroughbreds!

This doesn't just feel like a campsite; it feels like a vacation in its own right. If you're here on a busy weekend, the odds are you'll see plenty of children going for horse rides. A tour of the stables will let you get to know the animals, and there are indoor activities like games and movie screenings if you find yourself here on a rainy weekend.

Waking up on the grounds of this farm is truly magical, and if you're lucky enough to be sleeping by the lakeside, you'll be greeted with one of the best views in this area of New Jersey. Keep an eye out—you might just see some of the farm's free-range rabbits out collecting their morning snack!

If you want a quieter getaway, there are plenty of spots around the farm to hike and take in nature's beauty. This really is the best of both worlds: a charming campsite with enough to do and see that it feels like a must-see attraction.
