4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Most RV parks near Cape May Court House provide full hookup RV sites with 50-amp electrical service, and most are situated within a 15-minute drive of Cape May and Wildwood beaches. Sun Retreats Avalon operates from April 15 to October 15 with big-rig friendly pull-through RV pads, while King Nummy Trail Campground features waterfront sites overlooking the marsh with spectacular sunset views. Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites accommodates large motorhomes and offers full hookup sites, though several reviews mention tight spacing between units. Echo Farms RV Campground maintains spacious sites for larger rigs from May through mid-October. "These campsites are packed together. It is nearly impossible to not disturb neighbors with slide outs, noise, etc. as the sites are barely wide enough for a camper and a picnic table."
During peak summer months, advance reservations are essential as most RV campgrounds near Cape May Court House reach capacity, particularly on weekends. The area's RV parks typically offer sanitary dump stations, water hookups, and trash service, with varying Wi-Fi reliability across properties. Access roads within some campgrounds present challenges for larger rigs—one visitor noted that "the roadways are narrow and there isn't a lot of maneuvering room" at Sun Retreats Avalon. Many parks allow pets with restrictions, though King Nummy Trail prohibits pets entirely. Winter camping options are limited, with most facilities closing between late October and mid-April. Several parks have on-site markets and firewood available for purchase.
"Tent site was fantastic, level, trees are well trimmed, but still with good coverage, sites are a nice size. Close enough to the bathroom and water options. Campground well appointed."
"It is nearly impossible to not disturb neighbors with slide outs, noise, etc. as the sites are barely wide enough for a camper and a picnic table."
"There are a lot of long term campers but they've got sites for weekenders too. Very close to local shops and attractions. The pool was great. They have 2 on site with a shallower one and an 8ft."
"It is a mostly seasonal campground with select sites for campers, but these sites have beautiful views of the marsh and sunset. Clean facilities. Great location close to Cape May and Wildwood."
"This is a nice, flat campground so great for bike riding. While there are MANY seasonal sites, we never felt unwelcome - quite the opposite!"
"Our camp site was perfectly level. We were close to the Cape May beaches. Cold Spring Brewery wasn’t too far and was fun."
"We stayed in the small tent loop at this private, primarily RV resort. First, the good stuff: The tent loop was empty for our 5 night stay with the exception of night 1. We were at site F17."
"The onsite stores prices were very inexpensive which surprised me. Halloween decorations were the best. The playground was great my daughter really enjoyed the scavenger hunt."
"well maintained, wonderful pool and splash pad, great location!!"
"Kids love the lake. Bathroom cleaned daily. Could use more showers. Nice and quiet at night."

"We booked through Thousand Trails and you can't reserve sites."
"Very large RV resort. Seemed like they were mostly seasonal campers/RVs/tiny houses. Campsites were a reasonably good size, but close together. We were able to fit our 32 ft."
"Little shade, which may be an issue in the hot summer, but after summer is awesome! Level sites, some with concrete slabs. Close to the beach, restaurants and Ocean City."
"Very quiet at night.... almost too quiet! We stayed because we love nearby Brigantine beach and it was a last minute booking. We didn't use the campground facilities too much."
ScoutWe stayed at the group site campground with our horse. We found the sites to be large, and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they have fall activities for the family, at the lake and nature hikes. The porta potty's are very clean, have hand sanitizer and plenty of paper. Will be returning again in a few weeks. Plenty of trails to ride on. A true gem in our own backyard.
TravelerMany long term seasonal sites. Good community. Large shower house good and clean . Pool. Game room. Off leash dog park. Wooded/shady sites or no shade sunny sites. Lots of area to walk or play. Large field, basketball couture, frisky golf, play area and laundry room. We were here all summer (June-october). Lots to do in the area. Good food nearby. Ocean city 10 minutes away.
ScoutThis is one of the largest, if not the largest, campgrounds in Southern New Jersey. While on the pricier side, everything is top-notch. The roads are all paved, and not gravel (I hate trying to sleep and listening to the sound of stones grating together). The sites are more spacious than most campgrounds, so it doesn't seem so crowded. The bathrooms are all modern and spotless. There are numerous bathrooms which means most sites have one nearby. They do charge a quarter for showers to encourage water conservation and donate the money to conservation causes. The pool is large, as is the lake. Both are well-maintained. The camp store is enormous and is really nice and well-stocked with everything one might need from food to pool and beach stuff to camping supplies and equipment. There is a nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. The camp store has a lending library of books and DVDs. There are numerous activities that appear to be well-run, The grounds are shaded with many trees for a great wooded campground feel. The campground is so large that it has an internal shuttle with stations scattered about to help people go between the various important sites such as at the pool, the lake and the store. I found other campers, particularly the seasonals, to be more friendly than other campgrounds at the shore. This requires constant tree care including removing dead trees and branches which they do regularly. The staff is friendly and well-trained. I was in a tent, and when a rare October nor'easter came through, I was offered the opportunity to use a cabin free-of-charge. Fortunately my tent and equipment made it through days of rain and high winds just fine . On my first stay in May, I had to run my dog back to Baltimore towards the end of my trip where he was sadly diagnosed with incurable metastatic cancer. When I returned, I was late and unable to check out by 11, but they allowed me to take as much time as needed to clear the site, as nobody was staying there the next day, which was deeply appreciated - I was an emotional wreck. Oh, and I found the complimentary Wi-Fi to be a great service, and sufficiently fast to allow me to stream ultra-high-definition movies at my site - Most campgrounds charge extra for less-than-good service - a lot more. I find that a big bonus. Overall, I LOVE this campground and highly recommend it.
GuideThis campground is part of the Wharton State Forest and has several campgrounds in the area. Great wooded sites right on a lake. Pretty good separation between sites with good tree separation between sites. Some road noise not overly affecting site.
ScoutI’ve stayed here multiple times over the past 15 years and I have enjoyed each trip.
Depot Travel Park is a well-maintained family-owned campground. It is also reasonably priced, especially given the location that is within a bicycle ride to the beach, the ocean, and lots of shops and restaurants in Cape May. It is the only campground on the Cape May side of the canal.
Please note that this is not a resort campground and it doesn’t have a pool. There is so much to do in Cape May that is doesn’t need to be a resort.
Since it’s not a resort campground, there are not many golf carts, so most people use their bicycles or cars to get around. That also makes the campground pretty quiet, even during the peak of summer.
The campground sells firewood and propane, but there is no camp store. Again, it doesn’t really need one, since there is a farmers market at the end of the driveway, and a CVS and an ACME supermarket within bicycle riding distance.
If your site doesn’t have a sewer hookup, the dump station is a little awkward to access, but they have a daily honey wagon for a reasonable fee, which is great. If you notify the office the day before you need it and they are usually there in the morning.
They close for the season n October, but they reopen briefly during the Cape May Christmas Parade weekend in December. That’s one thing that I’d like to do soon.
I really like this campground and I am always recommending it to friends.
GuidePretty easy camping trip, plenty of room to set up camp. Level spots. We stayed on south inlet campground. They have small camp store multiple laundry and bath houses. Great stay if you enjoy fishing, as. You can fish the inlet at the campground. They have a very nice playground for kids as well! Only negative is no camp fires allowed, they do have a community area you can have a camp fires allowed. Also no wifi
ScoutMy check in was for 8-6-2026, and bc I’m a new driver and wanted to beat traffic I got there early (7am) so I sit there waiting till check in time. When suddenly the park police show up. He’s accusing me of camping over night there. I told him simply I wasn’t and where I was night prior (would never sleep somewhere without permission). So we go to the store to kill time before we check in. Come back for Check in and the whole staff in just the office alone were so arrogant and cold to my mom and I, leaving rude comments to us and not only where they like that but the staff outside the office was acting like that alongside the rangers and park police. They would watch us the whole visit in the distance parking there cars a little ways watching everything we did,even driving by slowly a bunch of times in just an hour alone. My mom and I couldn’t do anything with out them showing up 2 mins later. Example we were walking our dog enjoying our time(trying to) and all of a sudden one of the office ladies pulls up right in front of us speeding, parks their car, gets out and walks a distance from us standing there and taking pictures of us…. For walking our dog who’s on a leash and didn’t even do anything. The whole trip we felt uncomfortable and unwanted and to find out they police when we were going on walks where coming up to campers near us bribing them with free firewood to get any information on use (told to us by other camper). I paid a lot of money to be harassed and followed the whole time. We never did anything we abide by every rule and keep to ourselves everywhere we go. They even made my mother cry…
ScoutGreat place. Close to beach. No septic hookup
ScoutLove it every year . We g for mother's Day. And the schedule for the events they do during even just the weekend make for fun filled hassle free weekend
Cape May Court House sits at the center of Cape May County, New Jersey, where sandy coastal terrain meets protected woodland areas. Most RV campgrounds near Cape May Court House are situated within 15 miles of the Atlantic Ocean, creating a microclimate that extends the camping season from mid-April through October. Summer temperatures typically reach 85-90°F with high humidity, while mosquitoes are common near the wetland areas that characterize much of the region.
Wildlife viewing along coastal marshes: King Nummy Trail Campground offers prime locations for nature observation with waterfront sites overlooking the marsh. "Our site was a nightmare backing in and getting out of. We have a 42 ft 5th wheel but the website said it could accommodate the size. The bad thing is that there are trees all the way up to the street which limits your turn radius as well as cement marker poles," notes one visitor about navigating to the perfect viewing spot.
Brewery visits and local dining: The area features several craft breweries within short driving distance. A camper at Shady Pines Campground mentioned, "There's a cute brewery right around the corner and a burger place called Tony Beef. We liked them both!" Many campgrounds are within 20 minutes of local restaurants.
Beach excursions: Most campers use RV parks as a base for beach trips. "We were close to the Cape May beaches. Cold Spring Brewery wasn't too far and was fun," shared a visitor at Sun Retreats Avalon, highlighting the convenience of access to coastal attractions despite staying inland.
Lake activities and water features: Many campgrounds offer alternatives to ocean swimming. "The girls loved swimming in the lake and the pool. We were only a short drive from the beach, as well," reported a family staying at Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake. The campground's lake provides fishing opportunities with one camper noting, "good fishing, good people, nice shaded and sunny spots, beautiful pool."
Entertainment options: Evening activities keep campers engaged after beach days. At Treasure Beach RV Park, "Every weekend there's a band or DJ at the beach at night and every visit we have made friends. There are usually food trucks and things for the kiddos like bounce houses during the day."
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses are consistently mentioned in positive reviews. "Cleanest bathrooms," reported a visitor at Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites. Another camper at Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake remarked on "clean showers and toilet, free cable, great lounge."
Site variability at same campground: The quality of campsites often varies significantly within a single property. "We had a large pull through lot with our 36 foot fifth wheel. Friends had a tiny lot with their shorter camper. They had no privacy," reported a camper at Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites.
Seasonal population: Many campgrounds have long-term residents that affect the atmosphere. "This is a fairly large place. The sites are clean but small. Far and away this resort is used by seasonal and cabin campers. They only have a few (maybe 25 or so) transient sites," explained a camper at Thousand Trails Lake & Shore.
Insect preparation: Mosquitoes are a consistent challenge, particularly near water. "Mosquitoes are bad but that's to be expected being near water of any kind," noted a camper at Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake. Bringing repellent is essential from June through September.
Pool access procedures: During peak season, pools may operate on reservation systems. At Treasure Beach, "due to Covid they are only open for 2 hour time slots and you must get passes. People line up at 8am to get passes but I was able to go to the front desk in the afternoon to get passes for the afternoon/evening swims."
Playground options: On-site recreation features vary widely between properties. "Nice playground with jumping pillow and bounce house was a hit with the kids," reported a visitor at Treasure Beach RV Park, while other campgrounds offer simpler facilities.
Budget considerations: Tent camping can be expensive compared to other regions. "It was pretty pricey for tent camping ($65 a night) and the mosquitos were INSANE! Also, a few of the showers were down, so it was difficult to get in there and everything cost extra," warned a tent camper at Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites.
Leveling challenges: Many RV sites in the area have uneven terrain. At Shady Pines Campground, one RVer reported, "The site was still on a decline, but not as bad as the other three. Our site (#71) was too short for our 37' motorhome. I made it fit, but measured just 3-inches of air between the back of my RV and the back of our neighbor's RV."
Reservation strategies: For non-members at membership-based RV campgrounds, planning is essential. "We booked through Thousand Trails and you can't reserve sites. Our trailer is 37 feet long, so there is always the concern we won't find any sites will fit in," explained a camper at Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake.
Road navigation: Internal campground roads present challenges for larger rigs. "The roadways are narrow and there isn't a lot of maneuvering room," noted a visitor at Sun Retreats Avalon. Carefully check campground maps and access routes before arrival.
