Rare ±75.57-acre former camp redevelopment opportunity along Newton Sparta Road (Sussex County Route 616) in Andover Township, Sussex County, New Jersey — ideally suited for a low-impact glamping, wellness, eco-hospitality, or outdoor recreation retreat concept. It was formerly used as part of Camp Clipawaga, a Girl Scout camp established in 1968 and operated until the late 1970s, and still contains remnants of former camp-related structures and infrastructure.
The site (Block 103, Lot 2 at ±64.12 acres and Block 103, Lot 3.02 at ±11.45 acres) offers approximately 1,837 feet of combined frontage along Newton Sparta Road. The property is split-zoned CB Community Business along Newton Sparta Road and R-2 Single Family Residential across the remaining acreage. A conceptual development program envisions a single controlled entry, parking court, welcome lodge, amenity pavilion, bathhouse, 8 to 12 glamping cabins, nature trails, and outdoor seating areas — organized around protected stream corridor, wetlands, and waterbody no-disturbance areas.
Rolling wooded terrain ranges from roughly 720 to 800 feet above sea level. Kymer Brook, a Category 1 (C-1) stream, runs through the study area, and the site includes C-1 development buffers, wetlands, and a nearby waterbody, supporting a conservation-forward development concept. The property is the subject of a Non-Condemnation Area in Need of Redevelopment Study dated February 14, 2024.
