If the Inn of the Dove is not your perfect idea of a romantic get away, than perhaps you would prefer the quite camping experience of the log cabins at Scubbie Pines.

Scubbie Pines is a campground located just outside of Long Beach Island, NJ. They offer seven small, but private, log cabins for rent.

Scubbie Pines features an onsite miniature golf course, a game room, and their own general store. They also provide access to an in ground pool and several different nature trails.

Since they are set in the pine forests of New Jersey it is extremely quite and night sky is as clear as it can be. They are only a short drive from the Barnegat Lighthouse or even the beach.

There are a great many places to rent boats or wave runners as well as areas for fishing right off the shore. There are also tons of great seafood restaurants within a few minutes drive.

The draw back to Scubbie Pines is that they are only open from April through October. So if you are looking for a winter get away this is not your place.
