Hemp under the stars.
Why Fall Camping in Jersey Just Hits Different
New Jersey’s fall is magic. Think fiery maples, cool nights, and the smell of cedar and campfire.
And the best part? You don’t need alcohol to feel that buzz — you’ve got Hemp.
As the sober-curious movement grows, more East Coast campers are ditching the booze for hemp-infused drinks like Hippie Sips.
Why? Because hemp brings the chill without the crash, keeping your head clear for sunrise hikes, late-night stories, and those perfect forest mornings.
Why Hemp Belongs in Your Pack
- Pack-light power: Hemp-infused drinks and snacks don’t need coolers or glass bottles — easy for hiking or backpacking.
- No hangover hikes: Wake up refreshed and ready to hit the trail — not searching for aspirin.
- Fire-circle focus: Keep the mellow mood and still remember every conversation.
- Natural pairing: Hemp and nature share the same frequency — plant-based, restorative, grounding.
The Best Fall Camping Spots in New Jersey
- Wharton State Forest (Pinelands)
Pine-needle trails, quiet rivers, and stargazing like nowhere else in the Garden State. Great for hammock camping and a late-night hemp sip by the fire.
- Stokes State Forest (Sussex County)
Nestled near the Appalachian Trail. Crisp nights, vivid colors, and scenic overlooks of the Kittatinny Mountains. Perfect for a clear-headed sunrise hike.
- High Point State Park
The highest elevation in NJ means epic foliage views into New York and Pennsylvania. Pack your hemp and your camera — both essentials.
- Cheesequake State Park (Middlesex County)
Where salt marsh meets hardwood forest. Easy weekend spot for city-based campers who want that quick fall recharge.
- Bass River State Forest (Burlington County)
One of NJ’s oldest parks — peaceful lakeside campsites and walking trails for mindful hemp moments at golden hour.
- Worthington State Forest (Delaware Water Gap)
Classic fall foliage, Appalachian Trail access, and campgrounds that open up right onto the river. Bring your chill, not your hangover.
- Stephens State Park (Hackettstown)
Riverside trails, low-key vibes, and campfire-friendly setups — ideal for that “Hippie Sips and stories” kind of night.
Bonus: NJ Fall Festivals for Campers + Music Lovers
If you want to mix your camping trip with good tunes and autumn energy, these nearby festivals keep the vibe alive:
- Camp Punksylvania (Millville, NJ) – A punk-EDM blend weekend fest where sober-curious culture is on the rise.

What to Pack for a Perfect Hemp-Friendly Weekend
- Hemp-infused drinks – Lightweight, refreshing, and hangover-free.
- Portable stove or campfire grill – S’mores hit different when you’re fully present.
- Cozy layers – Fall in NJ can dip below 50°F fast.
