Cross Roads is in Lebanon Township, 2 miles northwest of Califon, in the Northwestern tip of Hunterdon County. Cross Roads can be found on Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze: search for “Cross Roads Camp and Retreat Center.”
4/2022 Update: several navigation apps (Waze, Google Maps) have added an unnecessary final turn in their directions: we are located on Pleasant Grove Road, not Sharrer Road. If the last instruction is to turn left on Sharrer Rd., please stay on Pleasant Grove Rd and the entrance for camp will be 100 feet ahead on the left. If you are told to turn right on Sharrer Rd., the entrance to camp will be on the right 100 feet before the turn.
