I've stayed in my share of hotel suites and villas (thanks to my amazing work situation), but I'm also a fan of getting back to nature (veteran Burning Man survivor) and when I lived in the Sierra Nevada, off grid and dispersed camping was a joy. Now that I'm older and back in Jersey, we mix the best of both worlds by staying in more rustic accommodations in NJ, DE and PA state parks with friends. We want to rough it, but we also need a toilet when you're a middle aged lady of a certain age and also a bed off the floor - no more sleeping on the dirt for me these days. Parvin State Park was a pleasant surprise. It's on the edge of the Pine Barrens, and the small little lake in front of the cabins host a pair of white swans and lots of honking geese and ducks. We stayed in Cabin 12, which was very basic and in winter, the only heat source was an old-fashioned cast iron wood stove. We came prepared with tons of firewood and we loved it! Nothing like a roaring fire, a good book and Van Morrison growling a love song in the background. You can even get cell service! During winter, no running water and a porta potty was outside. The cabin had a working stove and a full sized fridge. $115 for 2 nights in regular cabin ($60 per night) / $80 per night for #6 or 16 Check in at 3 PM, out by noon Walmart is 10 minutes away in case you forget something important (ahem) Cheap firewood (but burns fast) at Tractor Supply Living room has 4 outlets Each bunk room has an outlet, wall hooks and light (though not very bright) Walls are not completely closed off in bunk rooms if privacy is a concern Map showing which cabins have wood stoves or fireplace inserts. https://www.nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/maps/parvin-cabinmap.pdf Cabins #6 and #16 are ADA, two bedrooms with bunk beds and a single bed each ($80 per night) Much more open living room During high season, these can only rent for a week at a time, Monday to Monday PRO TIPS: · Bring slip on shoes to go in and out to outdoor porta potty if winter - it was exactly 25 steps from the door to the porta potty (I counted) · Bring room heater if it's winter for added warmth · Bring small tub and your own water for washing dishes / non-potable water if it's winter since the kitchen sink is shut off · Bring fan if it's hot · Bring extra lamps because rooms are dark · If you are not bringing a camp chair, bring chair pads for hard wooden chairs provided.

The dirt bikers have always been respectful of distance, though. Plenty of trails to hike. Several go down into the pit, one large loop around the pit, plus new ones created in the woods recently by the New Jersey Mountain Bike Club. They've been using this space for quite some time--years! There's a lot of parking in a gravel lot, pavilion with stationary benches over looking the preserve, and plenty of trash cans and dog poop bags to use. Several areas in the preserve have water that fills and recedes with the rain. May get very buggy as the temps rise. No bugs late winter and early spring so far!

Hard to rate an entire park this massive, but all things considered, after 5 years of traversing the trails here, this is an awesome park. Note that I live in U-City, so the fact that such a massive trail system exists in only a ~20 minute drive, depending on which part of the park I start in, is a blessing and keeps my sanity. Friends of Wissahickon does a great job maintaining trails and even expanding the system over the past few years. I don't think I've ever observed an unseemly part of the park. Definitely unseemly times of year like the snow thaw or the time between the trees dying and the snow falling, but otherwise, this park is beautiful all times of year. I've never had a hard time parking, never even had trouble with crowds even around the most popular trails (ex. Forbidden Drive). Even the bikers are friendly and patient here! Would strongly recommend not only visiting but coming back to keep exploring! I'm still finding new gems in this massive trail system.

Today I decided to switch things up and take a trip to Valley Green in Wissahickon Park, Philly…read more I've always heard about Devil's Pool but had never been, so when I saw the trailhead, I figured--why not check it out? What I've known about Devil's Pool is that it's been a popular hangout spot, especially for teens and young adults--swimming, drinking, smoking, etc. But I wasn't prepared for how disappointing the trail would be. At nearly every turn, there was trash--plastic bottles, wrappers, and even entire black garbage bags just left behind. The closer I got to Devil's Pool, the worse it got. There are clear signs asking visitors to take their trash with them, yet so many clearly don't. It's really disheartening to see such a beautiful natural space disrespected like that. Instead of feeling peaceful or connected to nature, it honestly felt a bit unsanitary and neglected. Wissahickon Park deserves better. If you visit, please respect the space and take out everything you bring in.

Since proper tools and parts are required, visiting a proper bicycle shop was necessary. On my unannounced arrival (April 1, 2026) at the Bicycle Connection (5 Atlantic Ave., Ocean View, DE) in Bethany, I was warmly greeted. I discussed my concerns with Chris Bond and staff, solutions were offered and implemented that allowed me to successfully complete my tour. The store was very busy with customers but Chris and his staff found time to help me fix my bicycle that allowed me to continue my tour North. The Bicycle Connection in Bethany had all the tools and parts needed, they were very happy to offer suggestions and help. After an hour of disassembly and reassembly I had a much healthier bicycle! I am extremely grateful to Chris Bond and the entire Bicycle Connection Shop staff for their knowledge, assistance and support.
