Baker's Acres Campground

This was our 5th year camping at Baker's Acres. Their slogan is "Where friends are made for life" and they couldn't be any more right. This is the friendliest, family run for 50+ years, clean, fun, campground we've been to in a long time.   

The Camp Store is large and well stocked. The salt pool is always clean!   

Campsites are level and somewhat sandy (You're in the Pine Barrens, it should be expected). The bathhouses near our site were cleaned 2x daily and the best part is, they're private! (Shower, sink, toilet in a 10 room bathhouse).  

Check the activities schedule, there is always something fun to do!

Close to LBI and a short drive to Smithville, I highly recommend Baker's Acres!

Can't Go Wrong Here!

We stayed at **Baker’s Acres Campground** in Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey, for a weekend in mid-August. So did the rains of Hurricane Henri! 

  

Our site(#Zoo-1) was a level back-in with 50-amp electric, water, sewer, and cable. It was easy to pull in and accommodates larger rigs. The hook-ups were all well-maintained and worked fine. We had plenty of room to fit our car too. The site included a picnic table and fire ring. My favorite thing about this campground is that most of the sites have plenty of trees and shrubs for semi-privacy, shade, and a rustic feel. 

  

This campground has been family run for over 50-years and has an interesting history that’s worth reading more about. Our site is located across from the pickle ball court which used to be a petting zoo(now the site# should make sense, right?). We came because we wanted to experience one of New Jersey’s oldest campgrounds. We liked the interesting vignettes they created around the campground as well as the goldfish pond near the office and store. 

  

Baker’s Acres is well-maintained. The amenities include a swimming pool, lots of sports courts/fields, and a bunch of family-friendly scheduled activities. There is a camp store with all the usual items as well as bath and laundry facilities. The wifi service was ok, but costs$1 per day per device. Our Verizon cell service worked fine. 

  

The front office staff were all friendly and we love that, especially when checking in at a new campground. 

  

Drive time to Tuckerton Seaport is about 10-minutes and Long Beach Island is about 35-minutes depending on traffic. There are plenty of stores within a 5-mile drive if you should need anything including Walmart, super markets, convenience stores, and several restaurants. 

  

Our only minor negative was that our site was sandy dirt which created a bit of a mess, especially after the rain. It is the Jersey shore, after all. This would have been 5 stars if the site had gravel, grass, or was finished with concrete. It’s a pet peeve, but I hate having to constantly clean up to keep the sand out of our RV. 

  

This is a great old-fashioned campground close to LBI. We’ll can’t wait to go back!

Rustic and Classic Campground

I’ve never been camping and really wanted to try it. I tried this place because it has so many amenities. My two teen kids loved the pool and the basketball court. The adults there were friendly and welcoming. I would give five stars but there was this one guy that worked there who gave me a ridiculous attitude when I asked “where can we get popcorn?” 
He responded “the popcorn is for people who are watching the movie, are you watching the movie? No.” 
When I responded “I’m here to watch the movie.” He then told me “If you sit here for about five minutes I’m sure you can still get free popcorn.” 
I left feeling insulted. I feel like it might be because I’m Hispanic, but who knows for sure. Everyone else was 110% lovely. I’ll definitely go again. 


Really cool tent camping

Our family had a great time at this campground. My boys loved the large play area and had a blast on the hayride.
