The Best Camping Near Tabernacle, New Jersey

The site was nite. We have a concrete pad with a picnic table on it. Gravel and level were we parked the camper. But the seasonal site people were very rude. They would have the music up loud were we could not talk civilly. One man left for over an hour and left his music on. The w/o is we bought was green and of course it smoked when we got it to burn. I will not be going back there again.

Clean but season site people were rude

Very nice place...bathrooms and pool are all very clean.  Some sites are a little small but everyone is so nice you don’t mind.   Bring my grandchildren a lot and they love it. 
And don’t forget our four legged family members. This campground is also very pet friendly ❤️. We come back as often as possible.

Favorite place along the Jersey coast ...

We were very pleased with the size of our site.  The campground was quiet and the bathhouses were clean.  We happened to be there when it was 100 degrees so we definitely noticed that the bathhouses weren't air conditioned.  We were really happy we didn't have to shower in them since they were so hot.  The pool was warm but it could have been cleaner.  The lake was so warm that it made us wonder what kind of bacteria was growing in it.  Overall we were pleased with our stay and would return again.

Close to the beach

Campground has decent space at the campsites but you’ll be looking at your neighbors. Nice pool and some of the best looking seasonal Ive seen decked out with tiki bars, etc. Close to the boardwalk and beach. 

Close to boardwalk

We've stayed here 2 years in a row. We returned due to all the activities the campground offers for the kids. A nice lake with a giant inflatable slide, floating trampoline, kayak and paddle board rentals. A decent pool that tends to get a bit crowded, but does the trick. We had a blast with a golf cart rental. The campground is rather large, so it felt like a necessity to have a secondary way of getting around easily as a family. Plus it made checking out the entire campground manageable. Bathhouses were clean and well maintained. The campground is a short 5 minute drive from Cape May. Which is also a big reason we've returned. Sunset Beach, The Open Air Mall, and the charm of victorian Cape May are all great reasons to visit.

Close to all the good stuff

I really could not figure any negatives to put for the review. The camping resort was clean and flawless. We stayed for the Halloween Weekend and loved it so much we are going part-time seasonal there next year. This is a place where kids can be kids! 

Clean, Friendly and Perfect

Campground overview: We visited here in the third week in April. This is a private campground located about 6 miles from Cape May Point and about 4 miles from the beaches. If you are looking at this area to camp- then you know this is an area of lots of history from the WWII lookout tower and lighthouse to the  hawk watch observatory.and everything in between.  You will not be bored here!

Lots of  construction work was going on while we were here in preparation for their busy season which begins Memorial Day Weekend for the region. We were not bothered by this.  

There is a small lake (with swimming area) that is stocked for fishing and the overall feel of this park is tranquil.  There is a rec center, activity center, tennis courts, 3 pickle ball courts, playgrounds and pool to name a few things.  This is off season so the campground did not have the usual KOA bustle and feel of a summer camp for adults.

Campsite : This is a well kept up park with plenty of wooded and shady sites that are a firm gravel and very level.  Easy in and out of the park with our 40 feet of Rig. We had a premium pull thru site site with picnic table, grill, porch swing and patio table set along with a large concrete patio.  (*note-placement of the sewer necessitated an extension to reach when we aligned our rig with the concrete patio.)

Activities close to park:  In addition to the campground activities which are plentiful,  the Cape May Bike trail is directly across the street.  If you go right, you will be in a very active shopping center area in about 2.4 miles and if you go left you are on your way to the beaches in 4 miles. 

The Cape May Ferry is only 4.4 miles away and could be a fun day trip because it will take you to Rebooth and you can explore Cape Henolpen State Park for the day .  (We actually took our RV on the Ferry  to our next campground) and that successful adventure will be documented at another time.

My take away for this campground is that it is a great location to explore the area and you even have the option of additional day trips in a way that you may not always get to experience....Ferry rides are fun!

Here is a great website that informs you of all the activities the area has to offer from Polar Plunges to wine and brewery trails.

Destination: History and Beaches

Do not book at Holly Shores they will not stand behind their prices. We had an Easter vacation that was planed but had to be cancelled because of the COVID-19. OK we understand you couldn’t be open so we asked if are party could be moved to Memorial Day instead of Easter and Holly Shores said they would switch it so our family could camp on the next holiday together. Fast forward a few weeks and now we get an email saying we owe them over$400.00 more… We where paid in full and our trip got cancelled because you could not be open, so you agreed to honor your Easter deal on your next holiday which is what we did. Now we are being told by your staff“well it wasn’t are fault we where closed”. No kidding we know and we went throw this already and you agreed to honor your Easter price but now they you think you can make more money you are not going to honor the sale we…. BAD BUINESS GUESS WHAT IT DEFFENTLY WASN’T YOUR CUSTOMERS FALT THAT YOU WHERE CLOSED ON EASTER AND YOU SHOULD HONOR YOUR EASTER SALE LIKE YOU AGREED TO. The only thing they offered to do was let us book next year on Easter… No thank you after how your business operates next year you will probably try to make us pay more because your rates went up or something and then try to blame your customer again. Bad business I will not be camping with you every again and I plane on letting every camper we know how Holly Shore treats their customers. FYI when the rest of my party called to cancel they could care less so if you this Holly Shore cares about your family you are sadly mistaking.

Dont book Holly Shores will not honor their sales!!!!!!!!

&amp; it was a great time! Need to go back now that I’m older...

We had a pop-up so I can’t speak to tent camping at this one!

Like most KOAs with standard activities, family friendly environment. 

Stayed here as a kid...

Stayed in a drive through, patio site with full hook-ups. It was situated on a corner spot. A lot of RV, golf cart, bike, and people traffic due to the location. With all that said, the other campers were pretty respectful. 

The sites were clean. Plenty of dumpsters for trash. Can’t comment on the bathrooms and bathhouses as they were closed due to covid-19. Much of the other amenities were all pretty much closed too. 

The beaches are about a 10min drive, but the town is very bike friendly. A lot to explore in Cape May, and this is a great spot.  

Nice & pretty quiet. Close to the beaches

I liked this place.  Despite the shutdowns with Corona, they made every attempt to hold activites every day.  You had to sign up for pool slots, but there was plenty of openings.  Pool was lovely and well maintained.  There is an 11 mile rail trail across the street as well.  The negative would be the number of long term sites, but the campground was overall clean and the staff were all very nice.

Great Campground

Site 41. Nice shaded, level site with stone. Small grassy area between sites.  Clean and close together, but not too close. They have activities and golf cart rentals, neither of which we took advantage of. Seems like a lot of seasonal trailers but everything is kept nice and relatively new. 
Check in was easy and office staff was friendly. We would return.  

Nice place  

Went for a a scout event May 2019 and was enjoyable. Lots to do.  Caught a lot of fish.

Tent camping

We stayed at Holly Shores for just a one-night getaway over Mother’s Day weekend. 

  

The park was easy to find and located just a few minutes’ drive from Wildwood beaches and a few extra minutes to Cape May beaches and attractions. The entry gate was tight with no room to park while registering. I ended up down the wrong way on a one-way road because there was no signage. 

  

The front office staff was unable to provide any direction to our site. He gave me a black and white map and wished me good luck. We made it through the curvy roads to our site, but were disappointed at how tight a fit it would be for our 36’ motorhome. After some strategizing, I backed in on a diagonal or there’d be no way to open our slides. This was ok, but it meant forfeiting the use of about half of the concrete pad. 

  

Our site(#H58) was cramped, but nicely wooded, as all the campground seemed to be. This was nice. Even though our stay wasn’t during hot weather, I can see how the shady park would be enjoyable during the peak summer months. The entire site was level and covered in stone, concrete, and a little grass. The water, electric, and sewer hookups worked fine. They offer cable TV, but we didn’t use it. 

  

There’s a nice nature trail that starts at the back corner of the park and we even enjoyed wandering all around the park’s windy, tree-lined roads. 

  

There was a small store at the front office for emergency items, but there’s plenty of retail stores and restaurants within 1-2 miles in case you need anything. 

  

We were disappointed by the cramped site assignment because I’d indicated the size of our RV when making the reservation. There were a handful of empty sites that could have more easily accommodated our rig. 

  

Other than the tight fit(which knocked off a star in my rating), this was a nice campground with a nice looking pool area and plenty of nearby places to visit in the southern tip of NJ. We’d certainly stay here again.

4-Star Camping Near the Beach

Was a nice campground was close to home. Have nothing bad to say. Heated pools were a nice bonus as well camp sights are tight.  

Good camping close to home 

**It should be noted that this campground is no longer a KOA, it is now a Sun Resort and is called Sun Outdoors Cape May.** 

  

Our last stay here was 2 years ago.  

First the good:  The campsites are a good size.  We chose a pull through.  It came with a concrete patio and stone/gravel pad.  The grounds were clean, staff was friendly, and clientele was quiet and pleasant.  The dog park is very large and well shaded.  Our friends stayed in a cottage and it was really nice.  They even extended their stay because of the accommodations.  The pool was enjoyable.  It could definitely be larger to accommodate weekend crowds.  The water is also on the greenish side and slightly cloudy but it didn't feel dirty.  There seems to be a lot of fresh planting going on which looks really nice.  The men at the security gate are very nice.

  

Now the bad:  It seems there hasn't been any updating to the bathhouses.  I'm hoping that Sun has plans to update the bathhouses in the very near future.  The toilets all have very low water pressure and you often enter the bathhouse to find used toilet paper floating in the toilets.  Also, the toilets aren't very sturdy.  The staff at the front desk was friendly but should be more knowledgeable about the layout of the campground.  We were instructed to enter our site a certain way - this would have put the sewer, electric, etc. on the wrong side of our trailer.  Luckily we did not follow their instructions.

Large, clean sites

Sun outdoors was very quiet.  Many full timers.

Low key

Love the place, but their wi-fi is awful.

Labor Day 2021

Awesome experience all around. Campground is secure at all times, tent spots were slightly smaller than what we expected but did the job nicely. All staff were helpful and even let us check in early. Very clean and tidy bathrooms. Beautiful campground, definitely going again!

Beautiful campground, clean bathrooms, helpful staff

The park is a little tight.  If we had a neighbor across the street, there would have been no way we would have gotten into the spot.  There were so many tired and old skirted-in trailers there as well. 

On the plus side, the pool and playground were excellent. Our daughter had an excellent time.   

The bathhouses weren't so clean, even though they were closed most afternoons for cleaning, and they had the gall to charge a quarter to shower in their not-so-fresh showers. 

The staff was friendly, and did what they could to fix the things that went wrong.  They were the highlight of our stay, and the staff is the only reason we'd be back. 

Typical of the Jersey Shore ... Overcrowded

We stayed in site 148(old#SO4).. Site was ample sized as most sites were. The front of the park is close to the pool and store- if pool noise is a concern you should stay further back. A mix of seasonal,"cabins" and overnight camping. Park was very clean. Seasonal sites were very well maintained.   Reasonably easy access to Cape May attractions. Plenty of space for 33 ft motorhome and toad.   If you like craft beer there is a brewery about 2 miles away towards Cape May

Nice facilities, but pricy

Took a weekday trip super early this year. It’s cold but we are having a blast. We love the stand boxes for your tent. Only one other tent camper here. 

We loved and will be back

I stayed here last year.  no info in bath housed, we showed in our camper.  cable TV and wifi work ok.  close to beaches.  sunset and beaches on either side if ferry terminal jetti are free and no cost to park.  they are on the bay so small waves.  there's a lake and pool at the campground.  staff and fellow campers are friendly.  the entrance is unlit at night and sign us hidden by their shrubs if coming from the south.  that's my only complaint 

Love it here

I stayed here when it was called Holly Shores. We had a "safari
" tent, which was immaculate. It even had a separate bathroom with indoor plumbing. Campground is not far from a convenience store if needed. We met some seasonal people there as well. Fire rings were at each campground &amp; everyone was friendly. I appreciated how clean the space was &amp; it's close proximity to activities in Cape May. 

Large, clean campground with a variety of lodging optiobs

I will preface this review by saying that I did not stay at the campground, I merely took a tour.

  

My family is always interested in trying new campgrounds.  We usually stay down the road but wanted to check out this campground while we were in the area.  The staff was very friendly and welcoming.  The grounds were well kept.  The pool area looked nice and there were plenty of bathhouses and laundry (both are lacking where we usually stay).  

  

Our RV is on the larger side so we don't feel like this campground would necessarily be a good choice for us since the sites seem a little smaller and the roads are a little tighter.  If you are a master maneuver-er then this wouldn't be a concern for you but as we've only had a handful of trips with this bigger RV we're still shy about tighter spots.

Nicely Kept

Very large campground.  Is not as nice as some of the other places I’ve been but it is ok. Pool water was cloudy so kids didn’t want to swim in it. The people that worked there seemed nice.
