Quiet, Clean and Friendly
We 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.

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.

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.

Don’t go unless you want harassment
My 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…

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.
Guide to Eagleswood
Eagleswood, New Jersey sits within the Pine Barrens region where sandy soil and pine forests create a distinctive camping environment. The area experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly reaching the 90s from June through August, while spring and fall offer milder conditions. Most campgrounds near Eagleswood provide access to freshwater lakes and rivers with dark, tea-colored water naturally stained by pine needle tannins.
What to do
Kayaking the Wading River: Launch from Hawkins Bridge — Wharton State Forest for river adventures. "Did a two day Canoe tour down the wading river and used the outfitter Micks Canoe. We started Friday night camping at Hawkins Bridge campground... Wading river has a nice flow. It's a dark black river from the tannins," notes Thomas M.
Explore historic sites: Visit Tuckerton Seaport maritime museum near Atlantic Shore Pines Campground. "This campground is very close to local sites like Tuckerton Seaport," reports Gennifer K., who appreciated the proximity to cultural attractions.
Archery practice: Turkey Swamp Park offers designated ranges for bow shooting. "Bring your bow and shoot at the hay barrels," recommends Patrick M., highlighting one of the less common outdoor activities available in the region.
Seasonal Halloween events: Many campgrounds host special October activities. "Halloween fun was really good. Many kids grade school and elementary level enjoyed the dance... The sites were decorated and they had trick or treating," shares Stephanie H. about her fall experience.
What campers like
Spacious, private sites: Brendan Byrne State Forest offers well-separated camping areas. "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," writes Lindsay D., highlighting the generous spacing that provides a true forest feel.
Convenient beach access: Proximity to ocean beaches remains a major draw. "Drive time to Long Beach Island ranged between 3-40 minutes each trip we took depending on traffic," explains Matt S. about the convenience of coastal adventures from nearby campgrounds.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently note well-maintained bathrooms. "Bathrooms were very clean and well maintained. They had several activities and sent text reminders of what was going on," shares Gennifer K., appreciating the attention to cleanliness and organization.
Convenient payment systems: Some campgrounds offer cashless options. "Purchases can be easily made using their wristbands (provided at check-in). No need to carry cash or credit cards around the campground," notes Matt S. about the payment system at one resort.
What you should know
Bug preparation essential: Insects can be problematic, especially in summer. One camper at Sea Pirate Campground reported, "The bugs were just unbearable day & night. You couldn't even sit outside by the fire. Even walking the dog was a challenge." Bring effective repellent and protective clothing.
Water pressure varies: Some sites experience utility fluctuations. "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," reports Matt S. about infrastructure challenges.
Sandy campsites: The Pine Barrens soil affects site conditions. "The sites are sandy dirt— no gravel or concrete. This makes things extremely dirty whether it's dry or raining," explains a camper, noting the natural terrain requires preparation for cleanup.
Weekend crowds: Many campgrounds fill during peak times. "This place is great for families with children. But if you're looking for a quiet kid-free-get-away, I wouldn't recommend," advises Amy C., highlighting the social atmosphere that predominates on weekends.
Tips for camping with families
Water activities for kids: Timberline Lake Camping Resort offers multiple swimming options. "Nice quiet campground right on a huge lake, good fishing, dog beach, human beach, awesome pool. Tons of activities," notes Richard V., describing the water-based recreation opportunities.
Playgrounds and recreation: Look for campgrounds with dedicated play areas. "There are playgrounds and picnic areas as well. This is a lovely campground," shares Katheryn N. about the family-friendly amenities available.
Seasonal activities: Many sites offer organized events for children. "We went during the week, there were 4 sites taken adjacent to me, the rest of the campsite barely had anyone," reports Steve, suggesting mid-week visits for quieter family camping.
Technology considerations: Cell coverage and internet access vary widely. "Horrible wifi, zero cell service... Not my preferred camping getaway but aside from horrible internet and zero cell service, it's a nicely run campground if you are social, have an RV and young children," explains Yvonne T., highlighting connectivity challenges.
Tips from RVers
Pull-through options: Wading Pines Camping Resort provides RV-friendly sites. "They have 300 camp sites spaced out nicely. All the hook ups you need," notes Layne, explaining the accommodation for larger vehicles.
Access road conditions: Prepare for varied driving conditions. "As soon as you turn off the main road to the park, all roads are dirt, which was a bit surprising. They were well-maintained and in dry weather, not a problem, but probably not if it was rainy," observes Lee D. about driving conditions.
Site leveling requirements: Some sites require additional work. "Some sites unlevel. Bring a LONG water hose," advises Shawn, providing practical advice about hookup logistics and site preparation.
Seasonal restrictions: Most glamping options near Eagleswood, New Jersey operate seasonally. "The season at Wading Pines runs from Apr 15 - Nov 15," notes one camper, highlighting the importance of checking operating dates before planning luxury camping trips in the region.
