    Across the Pine Barrens region, cabin campgrounds near Clementon range from basic rustic shelters to comfortably furnished options with full amenities. Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA offers cabin rentals with electricity and comfortable sleeping arrangements, while Atsion Family Camp in Wharton State Forest provides more rustic cabin experiences. Most cabins include essential furniture like beds, tables, and basic kitchenette facilities, though amenities vary significantly between locations. "We stayed in one of the glamping tents. The staff was very friendly and the tents were more glamorous than we had tried before, but definitely had a good combination of woodsy and comfort," noted one visitor about their KOA experience. Bathroom facilities are typically shared at more rustic locations, while some premium cabins include private bathrooms.

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Jellystone Park South Jersey and Lake Kandle provide family-friendly cabin options with varying levels of amenities. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during peak summer months from May through September. Pet policies differ significantly—Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA permits pets at some cabin sites with additional fees, while other locations like Lake Kandle prohibit pets entirely. A recent review mentioned, "The park is clean, quiet, full of families. The staff are friendly and welcoming." Winter availability is limited, with many campgrounds like Old Cedar Campground operating only from April through October.

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic kitchen setups typically feature small refrigerators and microwaves, though cooking equipment varies widely between locations. More rustic cabins may only offer outdoor fire rings for cooking, while deluxe options might include stovetops or full kitchens. On-site camp stores at locations like Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA provide essentials, as one camper shared: "The little office store has everything you forgot to pack." For groceries and additional supplies, visitors should plan to stock up before arrival, as rural locations may have limited nearby shopping options.

      Ocean View Resort Campground

      One of the best campgrounds I have ever stayed in

      This 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.

      Atsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest

      Pine Barrens New Jersey

      This 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.

      Cabin was mostly clean. The windows were full of dirt and bugs on the tracks.mattresses were terrible.The fireplace was nice. Kitchen was clean.

      Can t wait to move on to a cleaner park.

      Beautiful campground, loud campers

      Beautiful campground but made the mistake of going on a holiday weekend, the campgrounds next to us were screaming and blasting music all day and throughout the night so we ended up leaving early. A beautiful campground when there aren’t noisy capers ruining it.

      Tohickon Valley County Park

      First time camping

      As far as experience it was good. The main issue was the campsite where we were was uneven and caused many of the sleeping arrangements that we had to be not level. This seems to be a specific issue to the group campsite number two as when we went inwards it seemed like everything else was much better.

      Turkey Swamp Park

      Really nice campground

      Stayed three nights in a tent and enjoyed it very much. Sites have electrical hookups, shared water connections, large picnic table, and fire ring with adjustable grate. Electrical and water are at the outer edge of each site so you might want an extension cord and/or hose. Bathrooms are clean; showers have separate stalls but they’re clustered together (not the most private). There are hiking and biking trails, a lake, and archery park. Staff are friendly. Office is open through 9pm, and firewood, ice, and bait for fishing are available. Site C3 is in an okay spot; it’s close to the bathroom and laundry room, but also right next to the playground. We were able to visit the beach; easy 25 minute drive to Asbury Park.

      Atsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest

      Not my vibe

      I personally did not like this campsite. First of all, our site tag was leftover from SEPTEMBER. Did no one look at any of these sites and leave someone else’s registration posted there for almost a year? Wild. Our campsite had trash leftover from previous campers. The whole campground was loud - from other campers to just the sounds from the nearby road. If you are looking for peace it is NOT here. If you’re looking to have loud music time all night with no repercussions as your kids ride around yelling and carrying on past midnight then you’ll have a blast. The pros of this campsite was supposed to be the access to Lake Atsion but we were turned away at the gate at 12:30 as they stated they were at capacity. Checking into our campsite they specifically asked if we would be utilizing the recreation area so we would have a pass for entry, but that’s seemingly not in their logistical headcount. I would not visit here again.

      Wading Pines Camping Resort

      Poor sites

      I recently stayed at Site 36, and unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The biggest issue was the campsite itself. Site 36 is extremely small, with neighboring campers only about 5 feet away on one side and roughly 12 feet behind the site. There was very little privacy, which made it difficult to relax. Many of the nearby sites appeared to be occupied by long-term or permanent residents. Several had large amounts of personal belongings stored under tarps, giving the area an unkempt appearance. In addition, the neighboring campsite had children's bikes, large toys, and other miscellaneous items overflowing onto the site I had rented, making it feel even more cramped. Another major concern was the constant cigarette and marijuana smoke. It was noticeable throughout much of the day, and because of the smoke, I couldn't comfortably leave my camper windows open. At over $110 per night for a full hookup site, I expected a much better experience. I understand the campground told me there were no other sites available, although I did notice a few empty sites during my stay. Whether those sites were reserved or unavailable for another reason, I can't say, but Site 346 should not be rented at this price given its condition and lack of privacy. Overall, I would not stay here again and cannot recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing camping experience. Its great for daily tubing but as a camper they lock the fence that gets you to the bridge so you have to take a long walk around although non campers can pull right up, it makes no sense to have a pass through that's locked.

    Guide to Clementon

    Cabin camping near Clementon, New Jersey offers options within the sprawling Pine Barrens, known for its sandy soil and unique pine-oak forest ecosystem that covers over 1.1 million acres. Temperatures range from summer highs around 85°F to winter lows near freezing, with cabins providing shelter during seasonal weather variations. Water access is a key consideration with numerous lakes and the Wading River providing recreational opportunities.

    What to do

    River adventures: At Wading Pines Camping Resort, visitors can enjoy water activities right from their cabins. "You can tube down the river from one end of camp to the other," notes one camper. The campground borders the Wading River, making it convenient for water recreation without traveling.

    Historic exploration: Cabins at Parvin State Park Campground serve as a base for discovering local history. "In the area there are historic buildings and ruins you get to by 'off roading' on all dirt roads," shares a visitor. Parvin's cabins offer a more rustic experience with woodstoves for heating during cooler months.

    Hiking network: The extensive trail system throughout the region connects many cabin locations. "There are probably hundreds of miles of trails through the woods and bogs to explore. Can't tell you how much I love it. Could spend a whole vacation just with these trails," reports a visitor to Brendan Byrne State Forest. Most trails are relatively flat with sandy terrain, making them accessible for various skill levels.

    What campers like

    Spacious sites: Brendan Byrne State Forest cabins and camping areas receive praise for their layout. "Nice and quiet, sites are spaced out enough to offer privacy. Good trees for hammocking! Plenty of room for a few tents at each site," explains one camper. The forest setting provides natural boundaries between sites.

    Water access: Many visitors appreciate cabin locations with direct water frontage. "I always get site #8 and it has an amazing view of the lake. While camping at atsion family campground, you have free access to the recreation center (the beach and some trails)," shares a camper about Atsion Family Camp. Waterfront cabins typically book first during peak season.

    Wildlife viewing: The Pine Barrens ecosystem supports diverse wildlife observable from cabin porches and nearby trails. "Our tent is has a full view of the sky and at night it was like a planetarium as we admired the sky from our cots," notes a visitor at Atsion Recreation Area. Early morning and evening hours offer the best wildlife viewing opportunities.

    What you should know

    Seasonal availability: Most cabin facilities have limited winter operations. "Note: this does close for winter and reopens in April but call park for exact closure dates because they do change," advises a camper about certain campgrounds. Old Cedar Campground specifically operates from April 21 to October 9.

    Water quality: Some locations have mineral-rich water systems. "The water has a very high iron content. I couldn't even use it for tooth brushing. Most of the showers were out of order. The toilets were clean but had the orange staining from the iron in the water," reports a recent Parvin State Park visitor. Many experienced campers bring drinking water.

    Reservation timing: Cabin accommodations require advance planning, especially for weekends. "We wanted a more rustic experience and tent camped at Bodine campground in 2018. Our site was right on Wading River and we launched our kayaks right at the site!" mentions one visitor who planned ahead to secure a prime location.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly activities: Jellystone Park South Jersey offers structured programs for children. "The pool and surrounding amenities are nice and clean including lake, snack bar, and ice cream," shares a visitor who stayed in one of their cabin accommodations. Activities are typically scheduled throughout the day during summer months.

    Nature education: Many cabins provide access to environmental learning opportunities. "Found out too late that the train only ran on the weekends, kids were pretty bummed," notes a visitor at Wading Pines, highlighting the importance of checking activity schedules. Most parks offer junior ranger or nature programs during summer.

    Safety considerations: Cell service varies throughout the region. "Verizon cell service was between 1 and 2 bars," reports a visitor staying at Parvin State Park. Families should establish meeting points and bring walkie-talkies for communication when hiking or exploring away from cabins.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: At Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA, positioning matters for RV cabin campers. "The park is better looking toward the back but the sites are kind of crowded together and bare," advises an RV visitor. Corner sites typically offer more space and fewer neighbors.

    Utility challenges: Some cabin and RV sites have shared utilities. "The water hookups are shared every other site. I was lucky my 75' hose barely reached the distance needed. Be sure to bring extra hoses," warns a camper at Old Cedar Campground. Extra-long utility cords and water hoses are recommended.

    Maintenance awareness: Facility upkeep varies seasonally. "Bathrooms were clean but most of the faucets on the sinks were broken," notes a recent visitor. RVers with self-contained units often rely less on public facilities while still enjoying the cabin camping experience.
