Cabins near Egg Harbor City provide rustic to well-appointed accommodations in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake offers cabin rentals with water and electric hookups on shaded sites. Atlantic Shore Pines Campground and Wading Pines Camping Resort maintain cabin options with varying amenities. Cabins typically feature electricity and basic furnishings with some including kitchenettes. Most cabin interiors include beds, seating areas, and protection from the elements. "The bathrooms were very clean. People were very nice. Camp sites are very sandy," notes one visitor about the Timberline Lake Camping Resort cabins.
Depending on the campground, cabin sizes range from intimate one-room structures to multi-room family accommodations. Bass River State Forest and Wharton State Forest's Atsion Family Camp offer more rustic cabin options, while privately operated resorts like Baker's Acres Campground and Spacious Skies Country Oaks provide more amenities. Several campgrounds operate seasonally, with most open from April through October or November. Wharton State Forest cabins remain available year-round. Most locations are pet-friendly but may charge additional fees. One camper reported: "We booked through Thousand Trails and you can't reserve sites. While we didn't have a problem finding sites, the first night we stayed our neighbors were partying late into the night."
Most cabins include beds without linens, requiring guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, with some offering only outdoor cooking options while others provide refrigerators and microwaves. Campers should bring cooking utensils, food storage containers, and cleaning supplies. On-site camp stores at Wading Pines and Atlantic Shore Pines offer basic provisions, though selection may be limited. "The store was fully stocked with anything you could possibly want or need," according to a Wading Pines visitor. Most cabin locations require advance reservations, particularly during summer months and holiday weekends.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Egg Harbor City
The Pine Barrens region surrounding Egg Harbor City contains over 1.1 million acres of preserved woodland with acidic soil and sandy substrate. Cabin rentals in this area typically feature pine surroundings with moderate summer temperatures averaging 85°F during peak season. Winter cabin stays remain available at select locations with temperatures dropping to the 30s, requiring additional heating considerations.
What to do
Water activities: Lake access for fishing, kayaking and swimming at Bass River State Forest. "We walked and explored, kayaked, and sang by the fire. The camp sites have plenty of room for the kids to run around and set up there own areas. Great area for tent camping," notes one visitor to Bass River State Forest.
River tubing: Easy float trips at Winding River Campground with tube rentals and transportation. "You can tube down the river from one end of camp to the other," explains a Wading Pines visitor. Transportation services for kayaks and tubes are available with options for 2, 3, and 5-hour trips that return directly to the campsite.
Historic sites: Colonial buildings within 15 minutes of most cabin locations. "Down at the Atsion office a mile away they can sell you firewood as well. Picalilli Inn isn't far, they have great wings. Batsto is a 15 minute drive," reports a visitor to Atsion Family Camp.
What campers like
Spacious sites: Room to spread out at several campgrounds with many waterfront options. A visitor to Bass River State Forest mentions, "A beautiful camping area that is affordable, each site is very large, very clean and well maintained, bathrooms and showers 24/7."
Lake amenities: Swimming and boating options at multiple locations. "Nice quiet campground right on a huge lake, good fishing, dog beach, human beach, awesome pool. Tons of activities. Great staff," says a Timberline Lake Camping Resort visitor.
Family activities: Scheduled events throughout summer season. A visitor to Baker's Acres Campground shares, "The kids loved the fishing pond and exploring fantasy island. Found out too late that the train only ran on the weekends, kids were pretty bummed." Many campgrounds offer weekend entertainment programs from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
What you should know
Site conditions: Sandy terrain throughout Pine Barrens campgrounds. "Check in was easy but the roads are narrow and we had a hard time getting on to site 145. We had seasonals in front and behind us who weren't very friendly," notes one camper at Wading Pines.
Weekend noise levels: Busier atmosphere Friday through Sunday at most locations. "If you're looking for a quiet kid-free-get-away, I wouldn't recommend," cautions a camper about Wading Pines. At Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake, one visitor mentions, "Very friendly and good lake. Pros; good fishing, good people, nice shaded and sunny spots, beautiful pool. Cons; bugs, no store, stay away from the front middle spots, they flood when it rains."
Seasonal availability: Limited off-season options for cabin rentals after October. While state forest cabins remain accessible year-round, many amenities like pools, beaches and planned activities close by mid-October. Most privately operated campgrounds close entirely from November through March.
Tips for camping with families
Beach access: Lake swimming available at multiple locations with varying regulations. A visitor to Atsion Family Camp states, "LOVE!!!! 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)."
Playground facilities: Multiple play areas for different age groups at many sites. "Great family run and owned campground. Clean, friendly and fun," notes a visitor about Baker's Acres Campground.
Weekend activities: Structured events at most campgrounds during summer. "We enjoyed the scavenger hunt and Saturday night entertainment. There were very few golf carts and all the cars drove cautiously. We felt our daughter was safe to ride her bike," shares a Baker's Acres visitor.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Reserve early for level sites with adequate hookups. A camper at Atlantic Shore Pines Campground advises, "The site we had was a pull through and very spacious. The whole place was quiet and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. AT&T cell service was great."
Seasonal sites: Consider long-term options at several campgrounds. "This is our 'base camp' as we camp multiple times per year every year," notes a Wading Pines visitor, adding "New ownership has improved a lot of previous criticisms (water quality, staff friendliness)."
Road conditions: Prepare for narrow access at several cabin campgrounds. "The roads are narrow and we had a hard time getting on to site 145," shares one Wading Pines camper. Many campgrounds feature single-lane dirt roads with limited passing zones, particularly challenging for larger RVs over 35 feet.
