Highpoint Stove Meet June 2007
Classic Camp Stoves - NorthEast Meet

Where: Highpoint State Park, NJ - Group Campsite "A"

When: June 1st - 4th, 2007

Swap Meet?: Bring your spare parts and pieces and that old stove and exchange it for someone elses junk :)



Campsite A, like all the campsites at Highpoint Park is a rocky location. You will need good stakes for your tarp or tent. The park provides a fresh water source, pit toilets and a fire ring. The site has open areas and trees along the edges for tarps. There will be a canopy setup over the picnic tables to create a kichen and group area. We must stay within a reasonable limit of the campsite so poles for your tarp would be best. But, if you have no poles then you can use the trees.


We are planing on group cooking and using stoves brought by anyone who wants to bring one. We will have some large pots (like the one above) and be able to set up a field kitchen and mess tent. No menu is set at this time but, we are open to ideas. If we have enough Coleman ovens we can bake biscuits etc. As of this time I am bringing 5 lanterns but, if you want to please feel free to bring as many lanterns and and stoves as you like.

Parking at this campsite is limited and there is no parking allowed along the road. You can park at the site unload and park in a large parking lot just a short walk from the site.

It is suggested that you bring the following:
  • Tent (no campers or popups are permited, tents only)
  • Ground Pad
  • Canteen or milk jug (for water)
  • Good tent stakes
  • Camp Chair or Stool
  • A tarp or Canopy

This is a state park. The following items are prohibited:
