Directions

Cross Roads, the camp we rent,  is located in Lebanon Township, 2 miles northwest of Califon, in the Northwestern tip of Hunterdon County in New Jersey. Because of rural postal delivery, the mailing address is Port Murray.  Be aware– there are two different Pleasant Grove Roads in the area!  We strongly advise that you use these directions and not those from some Internet sites such as Google Maps (many GPS devices have been known to lead travelers astray).
