Rustic cabins near Eagleswood feature varying levels of amenities across several state parks and private campgrounds. Bass River State Forest offers cabins with full kitchens and bathrooms, including refrigerators, stoves, and showers. Most cabins include woodstoves or fireplaces for heating with no air conditioning. "The cabins featured a separate kitchenette area with regular size fridge, sink, electric stove with oven and some counter space," noted one visitor about the facilities at Parvin State Park. Brendan Byrne State Forest and Wharton State Forest's Atsion Recreation Area also provide cabin accommodations with screened porches overlooking lakes or forest views.
Cabin options range from rustic state park accommodations to more modern facilities at private campgrounds like Sea Pirate Campground and Baker's Acres. Most state forest cabins require multiple-night minimum stays and book quickly during summer months. Pet policies vary by location, with designated pet-friendly cabins available at some campgrounds. Seasonal availability differs significantly—Bass River and Brendan Byrne offer year-round cabin access while other locations like Atsion close for winter. A camper noted, "Atsion cabins must be reserved in advance and multiple night rental is necessary. They book quickly during busy season. November 1 marks an end to cabin rentals until Spring."
Most cabins provide beds with mattresses but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, sleeping bags, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary from basic to complete—some have only outdoor grills while others include indoor stoves, refrigerators, and sinks. Basic supplies like firewood are available for purchase at campground offices, with several locations offering "honor system" wood sales near the entrance. Bathroom facilities range from shared central bathhouses to private in-cabin bathrooms with showers. Visitors should be prepared for sandy conditions, as one reviewer mentioned: "The only thing missing were hooks or shelves for toiletries but there was a large bench that could be used."

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 Eagleswood
Cabin camping near Eagleswood, New Jersey provides access to the Pine Barrens ecosystem, characterized by sandy soil, pine forests, and cedar-stained waterways. The region sits at a low elevation of approximately 25 feet above sea level, creating flat terrain ideal for family-friendly exploration. Campgrounds in the area remain open from early spring through late fall, with most cabin facilities closing by November 1, though several properties like Bass River and Brendan Byrne offer year-round accommodations.
What to do
Kayaking at Bass River: Launch directly from waterfront sites at Bass River State Forest, where the lake provides calm waters for beginners. "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," reports Matthew H., highlighting the water recreation options.
Hiking nature trails: Explore sandy trails through pine forests with minimal elevation change at Brendan Byrne State Forest. A visitor notes, "Lots of trails and a wawa down the street if you forgot anything for your trip." Trails range from short 1-mile loops to longer 8-mile routes through varied terrain.
Tubing on Wading River: Float down the Wading River at Wading Pines Camping Resort, where the current moves slow enough for families. "We did have a great time tubing on the river. Have someone drop you off at Hawkins Bridge and float down to the campground. A little over 2 hour ride," mentions Stacy D. about this summer activity.
What campers like
Sandy, spacious sites: Many campers appreciate the large camping areas at Atlantic Shore Pines Campground. "The site we had was a pull through and very spacious. The whole place was quiet and clean," writes Dave B. Sites typically accommodate multiple tents or larger RVs with room for additional vehicles.
Wildlife viewing: The Pine Barrens ecosystem supports diverse wildlife easily spotted from campsites. "We loved the nature trail. We saw deer every time we walked on it," reports Becca U. at Baker's Acres, noting the accessible wildlife viewing opportunities throughout the region.
Clean facilities: Despite rustic settings, many campgrounds maintain well-kept amenities. "The bathhouse at the pool could use an update but it was clean and the toilets flushed and the spigots worked! The red bathhouse was nice with separate shower/toilet rooms," notes a camper at Baker's Acres, reflecting the practical considerations for extended stays.
What you should know
Bug protection essential: Sandy soil and proximity to water create ideal conditions for insects, especially during summer months. "It's buggy... to be expected but the general vibe here was not my thing," mentions Amanda M. at Bass River. Another camper at Sea Pirate Campground reports, "The bugs were just unbearable day & night. You couldn't even sit outside by the fire."
Water pressure varies: Some campgrounds experience inconsistent water service during peak usage. "We had a problem with our site: extremely low water pressure, often below 20 PSI. It was so low at times, that we couldn't take showers or flush the toilet," notes Matt S. at Sea Pirate Campground.
Sandy conditions: The Pine Barrens soil creates practical challenges for cabin and tent campers alike. "Sites are packed sand so be prepared with a good broom because it tracks everywhere," advises Jim G. at Atlantic Shore Pines, highlighting the constant cleanup required during stays.
Tips for camping with families
Pool options: For families seeking alternatives to natural swimming areas, several campgrounds offer maintained pools. "The heated swimming pool was large and the water crystal clear," notes a visitor to Sea Pirate Campground, providing a more controlled environment for younger swimmers.
Child-friendly activities: Scheduled events keep children engaged throughout weekends. "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," mentions a Baker's Acres camper.
Beach access planning: When visiting Long Beach RV Resort, families can reach ocean beaches within 25-30 minutes. "The trip into LBI was an easy one. We borrowed beach tags from the camp store for a fee and headed to the Brant Beach section of LBI," notes a camper, highlighting the important detail about required beach tags.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges: RVers should prepare for potentially uneven ground at cabin and RV sites. "The only drawback was my site was not very level and took a few tries to get levelled, but everything else made up for it," mentions Jim G. about Atlantic Shore Pines Campground, suggesting bringing additional leveling blocks.
Navigation concerns: Some campgrounds have narrow access roads making maneuvering difficult for larger rigs. "Backing my rig into the site, and exiting, was a bit challenging due to the angle and size of the service road but we managed well enough," notes a Baker's Acres visitor, recommending smaller vehicles or experienced drivers for certain areas.
Hookup quality: Full-service sites provide varying levels of electrical service. "Our site (#201) was a level pull-thru with 50-amp electric, water, sewer, and cable. It was easy to pull in and can accommodate larger rigs. The hook-ups were all well-maintained and worked fine," reports a camper at Sea Pirate, noting the reliable connections available at premium sites.
