Located in between two active camps in the heart of Sussex County, lies two abandoned camps. There are the remains of a road which leads to one of the camps, and there’s evidence of recent vehicular traffic, but this camp has not seen use for at least 2-3 decades if not more.

When one enters the gates of Luna Parc, you are welcomed in by colorful signs, whimsical mailboxes and a sidewalk covered entirely in various colored tiles. In fact it seems almost everything is covered in beautiful tile work, and not those 4×4 inch tiles you find in the bathroom. I mean intricately designed, hand laid [...]

The pet cemetery is off limits to the public, something I only discovered after wandering around. The sign is [...]

Camp Nobebosco is a nationally accredited boy scout camp in Blairstown which has been operating since 1927. In 1979 the low budget horror flick Friday the 13th was filmed here. The movie spawned countless sequels, and practically invented the slasher horror film genre, inspiring Freddy Krueger (who he later fought) as well as Michael Myers. [...]

This massive barn and horse stable was part of a farm that went out of business about a decade ago. The farmer’s home next to the barn lies dormant and falling apart as well. I discovered a running water hose, and based on some estimates of water pressure and time, I figure if it had [...]
