Moon Valley Campground sits off NJ-94 in Vernon Township, tucked into the Appalachian foothills of northern New Jersey. The property offers a mix of domes and glamping tents, each set apart from the others for privacy, with individual sites carrying names like Hilltop Hideaway, Heaven's Landing, and The Lookout.
Access to the Appalachian Trail runs directly from several sites, and guests mention short walks to additional hikes such as Stairway to Heaven and the Vernon Boardwalk. Mountain and valley views show up across the property, along with occasional sightings of cows grazing on a neighboring farm. Sites come set up with comforts such as string lights, heaters, and fans, and firewood can be ordered on site rather than hauled in.
The campground welcomes dogs and families, and several visitors mention host Dominic by name for his responsiveness and local tips, including help with a mixed-up booking. Rates fall in the moderate range for the area; exact pricing and any minimum-stay requirements should be confirmed directly with the campground.
