The Barnegat area features multiple RV parks with varied accommodations for motorhomes and travel trailers. Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake operates seasonally from April to November, providing electric, water, and sewer hookups on predominantly gravel sites. Long Beach RV Resort accommodates big rigs and offers 50-amp electrical service with both water and sewer connections. Shady Pines Campground remains open year-round with full hookup sites that some travelers find challenging to level. Mays Landing Resort, open April through November, has sites that accommodate RVs but with limited space between neighboring units. "Our site 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."
RV sites throughout the region vary significantly in terrain conditions. Many parks feature gravel pads that require careful leveling, especially after rainfall when lower sites may collect water. While most parks offer full hookups, travelers should note that some older facilities may have limited 50-amp service. Navigation within certain campgrounds can present challenges as noted by visitors encountering "narrow, winding streets" that create "a maze" for larger motorhomes. Several parks cater primarily to seasonal and long-term guests, with limited availability for overnight travelers. During peak summer months, particularly around holiday weekends, advance reservations are essential as spaces fill quickly. Most parks accommodate pets and provide amenities like swimming pools, though Wi-Fi connectivity varies considerably between locations.

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.

Upscale Parking Paradise at This Home Fixer-Upper
Located just off US Route 1 in the upscale Princeton area, this spacious Lowe's serves up a surprisingly pleasant patch of pavement for weary road warriors looking to catch some shut-eye. Set back roughly 80 yards from the highway, this big blue home improvement retailer offers a generously sized parking lot with relatively manageable traffic, good maneuverability and a quieter atmosphere than you might expect from such a busy suburban retail corridor. The western and southern edges of the lot are particularly appealing for an overnight stay, and with Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several other retailers nearby, convenience certainly isn't in short supply. Better yet, the store management was friendly and accommodating when we called ahead to arrange our overnight visit.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spacious, paved parking lot with plenty of room to maneuver larger rigs; (2) Convenient access to US Route 1 and nearby I-95; (3) Western and southern parking areas offer quieter spots away from the busiest customer traffic; (4) Excellent nearby conveniences, including Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several dining options; and (5) Friendly store management that welcomed our overnight stay, plus surprisingly good opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) Some daytime retail traffic and occasional road noise, although nothing terribly disruptive; (2) No RV hookups, dump station or dedicated overnight camping facilities; (3) Parking areas closest to the store can become crowded during business hours; (4) Limited greenery and little of the scenery you'd expect from a traditional campground; and (5) While the overnight experience was excellent, this is still a commercial parking lot rather than a destination for an extended stay.
Happy Overnighting!

Great park
Many 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.

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…
Guide to Eagleswood
RV campgrounds near Eagleswood, New Jersey provide convenient access to both coastal attractions and inland wilderness. The region sits at the edge of the Pine Barrens, with sandy soil and pine forests creating distinct camping conditions compared to other parts of the state. Most campgrounds in this area are seasonal, typically operating April through November, with limited year-round options available.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: The lake at Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake has "plenty of fish" according to Paul B., making it an accessible option for campers wanting to fish without leaving the campground. This activity is particularly popular during summer months.
Beach access: Several campgrounds serve as convenient bases for exploring nearby ocean beaches. At Sun Retreats Avalon, "We were close to the Cape May beaches," notes Laure D., highlighting the prime location for beach-oriented camping trips.
Brewery visits: Local craft breweries provide cultural experiences within short driving distance. Campers staying at Shady Pines Campground mention "a cute brewery right around the corner" that pairs well with camping trips, offering an adult activity option between beach visits.
Mini golf: Family-friendly activities are available at certain campgrounds, with Sun Retreats Avalon featuring on-site mini golf that receives positive reviews. One camper specifically "Loved the mini golf" during their stay, making it a convenient recreation option without leaving the campground.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Long Beach RV Resort receives consistent praise for maintenance standards, with James G. describing it as "Clean, quiet, lots of activities for both children and adults, and overall a great campground." The attention to cleanliness extends to bathhouses and common areas.
Air-conditioned bathhouses: Several campers specifically note the comfort of climate-controlled facilities. At Sun Retreats Avalon, a guest appreciated that "the bathhouse was clean AND air conditioned!!!!!" - a welcome feature during humid summer months.
Wildlife viewing: The natural setting provides opportunities to observe local fauna. At Mays Landing Resort, one camper noted "Baby turtles were hatching when we arrived," creating an unexpected nature experience during their stay.
Pool amenities: Swimming pools are highly valued amenities, especially for families with children. At Thousand Trails Sea Pines, campers appreciate the "Great pool and splash pad. Kids love the lake," providing multiple water-based recreation options.
What you should know
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds feature uneven terrain that requires preparation. At Mays Landing Resort, Daniel C. notes that "Site are very unleveled so the staff switched us to a pull thru space that was a tad bit more level but still very unleveled," indicating the need for leveling blocks.
Noise considerations: Weekend activities can create noise issues at certain campgrounds. One camper at Sun Retreats Avalon was "annoyed by the loud music of other campers. It was late (but not yet quiet hours), we were in our camper, with our air conditioner running and our TV on, and we could still hear their music."
Tree placement: Several campgrounds have mature trees that create challenges for larger rigs. At Sun Retreats Avalon, "The roadways are narrow and there isn't a lot of maneuvering room... The bad thing is that there are trees all the way up to the street which limits your turn radius."
Seasonal population: Many Eagleswood area RV parks cater primarily to seasonal residents. At Echo Farms RV Campground, a camper observed it was "mostly seasonal sites and we were one of only a few transient campers," which creates a different atmosphere than parks focused on short-term stays.
Tips for camping with families
Pool facilities: When traveling with children, campgrounds with water features provide built-in entertainment. At Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake, campers appreciate that "the girls loved swimming in the lake and the pool," offering multiple swimming options.
Halloween events: For fall camping trips, look for special activities. Mays Landing Resort received praise for their seasonal decorations, with one camper noting "Halloween decorations were the best. The playground was great my daughter really enjoyed the scavenger hunt."
Water safety awareness: Parents of young children should consider site location relative to water features. At Mays Landing Resort, one camper warned that "the tent loop is surrounded by water on 3 sides. There is no safety fence," requiring extra vigilance with small children.
Family entertainment: Some campgrounds schedule regular activities for younger guests. Herbert at Mays Landing Resort enjoyed the "scavenger hunt" organized for children, while noting the "miniature golf course could have been maintained better."
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategies: Experienced RVers recommend requesting specific sites when possible. At Shady Pines Campground, after trying multiple sites, one camper found "the fourth attempt we could get level. The site was still on a decline, but not as bad as the other three," highlighting the importance of persistence with site assignments.
Arrival timing: For thousand Trails properties, arriving early improves site options. One camper at Chestnut Lake advised, "We weren't sure about this campground. We booked through Thousand Trails and you can't reserve sites," explaining why early arrival matters for finding suitable spots.
Space constraints: Be prepared for tight conditions at some parks. At Mays Landing Resort, one camper observed "when our neighbor parked his truck in his spot, my chair could almost touch it," indicating the limited separation between sites.
Wi-Fi reliability: Connectivity varies significantly between campgrounds and even within the same property. Military Park Fort Dix Range 14 Camp offers a "clean and gravel" setting described as "Park & go" that's suitable for exploring the region while maintaining reliable utilities for remote work needs.
