Beardfest 2023

Take a break from the concrete and asphalt! Paradise Lakes Campground is a hundred acre private event space nestled deep within thousands of acres of New Jersey's Wharton State Forest. It is home year-round to the countless plants and creatures of the Pine Barrens ecosystem, and we are lucky to share space with them all for this one long magical weekend each summer. There's a swimmable beach just off the main stage and miles and miles of trails to explore in addition to all of the Beardfest infrastructure built by our community to enjoy. You'll have to see it to believe it.
