Exploring new campgrounds can be one of the most exciting parts of the RV lifestyle. Whether you're a seasoned camper or a newbie, finding that perfect spot to park your RV can make or break your trip. We found a great video from the Endless RVing YouTube channel that details their experience at Sicilia Farms in New Jersey, and we couldn't wait to share the highlights with you. Below in the article are the key takeaways from their visit, but make sure to watch the entire video at the bottom of the article for the full scoop!
1. Location, Location, Location
The first must-have for any campground is its location, and Sicilia Farms does not disappoint. Nestled in Southwest New Jersey, this Harvest Host location offers a serene escape while still being conveniently close to major cities like Philadelphia. It's also just a short drive from Cape May, one of the most beloved destinations in New Jersey. Perfect for a quick overnight stay or a longer getaway, the farm's prime location makes it a top pick. Plus, it's close to the Colonial Diner, which, according to the video, serves the best pancakes in the universe—pancakes so good, they might just make you forget you're supposed to be camping!
2. Site Size and Accessibility
One of the standout features of Sicilia Farms is the ease of access and the size of the sites. The wide road leading into the farm and the spacious driveways make maneuvering even the largest RVs a breeze. The sites are large enough to accommodate two RVs comfortably, with plenty of room to stretch out. The video humorously notes that the sites are so big, you could probably host a small circus—clowns and all—without feeling cramped. Just make sure your elephants don't trample the alpacas!
3. Amenities Galore
When it comes to amenities, Sicilia Farms goes above and beyond. You'll find water and electric hookups, and the farm is working on getting the electric hookups fully operational soon. High-speed internet is also available, which is a rare find at most Harvest Host locations. The video jokes that the internet is so fast, you could probably stream a movie while simultaneously uploading your entire photo library to the cloud. And let's not forget the farm animals—alpacas, goats, and even ducks—making it a petting zoo paradise right outside your RV door.
4. Pet-Friendly Environment
For those traveling with pets, Sicilia Farms is a dream come true. The farm welcomes pets and has plenty of space for them to roam. Just be respectful and keep an eye on your furry friends, especially around the farm animals. The video humorously advises against letting your dog chase the chickens, unless you want to turn your campground stay into a live-action version of "Chicken Run." Bowser, the featured dog in the video, seemed to have a blast, and your pets likely will too.
5. Bonus Features
The bonuses at Sicilia Farms are what truly set it apart. From farm tours to outdoor games and a charming store selling jams, candles, and alpaca products, there's no shortage of activities to keep you entertained. The video highlights the warmth of the Sicilia family, who treat guests like part of their extended family. One funny anecdote from the video is about the socks made from alpaca wool—so warm and cozy, they might just make you look forward to winter, even if you're a die-hard summer fan.
6. Safety and Maintenance
Safety and maintenance are top-notch at Sicilia Farms. The campground is set back from the main road, providing a peaceful and secure environment. The farm is well-maintained, with daily upkeep performed by friendly staff. The video mentions that the staff are so diligent, you might start to wonder if they're secretly training for a landscaping Olympics. With five-star reviews on Google, it's clear that this campground takes pride in offering a safe and welcoming experience for all its guests.
