I love the northwestern part of New Jersey – if there’s such a thing as true peace and quiet in the Garden State, it’s found here in the rural, heavily wooded areas near the Pennsylvania border. That’s where you’ll find the most remote campground in New Jersey, if you’re looking for a place that has all the amenities of a full campground while also not being a crowded spot even during the summer months. Camp Taylor Campground, located in Columbia, is a truly rustic place that has a little something for everyone, including some incredible views that make you feel a million miles away from the big city. It’s even attached to one of the most fascinating attractions in all of New Jersey, but that doesn’t take away from the peacefulness at all. No matter what your ideal camping trip looks like, you’ll find everything you need at Camp Taylor Campground.

Camp Taylor Campground is hidden near the Delaware Water Gap, far away from the hustle and bustle of nearby towns.

When the campground is open, it has something for everyone - regular camping spots with electric and water hookups are as little as $53 a night.

For those who want a little more comfort in their camping stay, both rustic and deluxe cabins are available. No spot here is over $200 a night, and the cabins are impressively roomy.
