Canoe Camping 101

Join us for a beginner-friendly weekend canoe camping trip in the scenic Round Valley Reservoir, NJ.

Canoe Camping 101 is the perfect introduction for someone who is interested in canoe camping or who is looking for an easy, rejuvenating day on the water and a beautiful night under the stars.

This two-day overnight trip will take place in the Round Valley Recreation Area in New Jersey where we will paddle about 3 miles to a wilderness campsite along the shoreline. We will set up camp near the shoreline, hang out, relax, and enjoy a delicious camp dinner.
