Details

Located in South Harrison, New Jersey, Sicilia Farms offers an unexpected retreat from urban life with its welcoming farm atmosphere and convenient RV campsite facilities. Perfectly positioned near major routes, this spot combines rustic charm with practical amenities, making it a rare gem for travelers craving outdoor downtime without fully leaving modern comforts behind.

Sicilia Farms is not your typical campsite. It’s a working farm where visitors can connect with a variety of animals including alpacas, goats, sheep, and peacocks, all kept in well-maintained, clean enclosures that speak to the owner’s commitment to animal care. The farm’s friendly vibe comes through in the hospitality—guests often mention personalized communication and the warm welcome they receive upon arrival.

Camping here means setting up in one of the two RV spots equipped with electric and water hookups. For those who prefer a more self-reliant style, there is space for boondocking too. Shaded by mature trees with picnic tables at each site, these spots offer a front-row view of farm life with grazing cattle and curious animals nearby. Lawn games and a small onsite store selling local products and alpaca goods add layers of low-key entertainment and unique shopping.

Whether you’re stopping for a night on a road trip or planning a longer visit to soak in rural New Jersey, Sicilia Farms gives travelers a chance to unwind outdoors while engaging with nature’s quieter rhythms. It’s this blend of farmstead simplicity and thoughtful hosting that sets Sicilia Farms apart as a standout destination in the greater South Harrison outdoor landscape.
