The last time I went camping, it was more like glamping!

There was a bed and air conditioning in the tent!

I certainly wasn't roughing it.

But I did grow up camping, and I've been wanting to go with my family this spring before it gets too hot and humid in New Jersey.

So, where's a good place to go?

Travel and Leisure Magazine had a list of the best places to go camping in each state, and the top spot in New Jersey looks beautiful.

While you're there you can climb to the top of Mount Tammany to see the gorgeous 360-degree view, hike miles and miles of different trails and enjoy Sunfish Pond, all before settling in by a nice fire for the evening and making s'mores with the kids.

Sounds amazing!

Worthington State Forest Campground, Delaware Water Gap

Inside the Delaware Water Gap's 70,000 acres, you'll discover a world of mellow waters, ancient lakes, swooping eagles and mountain vistas. Don't miss the gap itself, a notch in the Kittany Ridge cut by persistent waters.

Check Out This Campsite You Can Rent On The Delaware River

Normally when you go camping it is stressful just thinking about where you are going to go if you have to go to a bathroom but at Tentrr Signature Site the small camping location offers a bathroom as well. This is pretty much glamping because not only do you get a bathroom but you also get to sleep on an actual bed.

Another cool thing is that if you were to stay at the Tentrr Signature Site you will get a nice view when you wake up and have private access to the Delaware River.

If you want to do some fun stuff on the Delaware River the Airbnb offers "two kayaks on site for your use in the river, as well as tubes."

Take a look for yourself and perhaps we found your new staycation.
