When you book a retreat you will also have access to our campgrounds. If you choose to, you may sleep outside or in a tent you pitch. Our campgrounds are reserved for events, retreats, and group use only. You must provide your tent and any other camping equipment.
Besides lodging and meeting spaces, we have several wooded acres on our campus. You’ll find our our eight rustic “pitch your tent” campsites, which vary in size, nestled in the Pine Barrens adjacent to the Edwin B. Forsythe Wildlife Refuge.
The Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge protects more than 47,000 acres of southern New Jersey coastal habitats which is actively managed for migratory birds. The refuge’s location in one of the Atlantic Flyway’s most active flight paths makes it an important link in seasonal bird migration. Its value for the protection of water birds and their habitat continues to increase as people develop the New Jersey shore for our own use.
We currently offer eight campsites for up to 32 people around a communal firepit surrounded by woods, complete with picnic tables & kitchen area with a gas grill for cooking, just perfect for a group of friends or an organization looking for their very own private retreat! Indoor bathroom facility within 100 feet of any site. Hiking trails right behind you; Jersey Shore beaches & boardwalks within a short Uber or drive. A lot, or plenty of nothing to do; it’s up to you!
Campsites can be booked by groups only; we are no longer accepting single campsite reservations. E-mail or call us at 609-693-5558 if you’d like to host your retreat “in the Grove.”
