      Colonial Meadows Family Campground

      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.

      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.

      Tohickon Family Campground

      Simple, peaceful FHU

      We stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.

      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.

      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.

      Lums Pond State Park Campground

      Lums Pond campground

      First time at this campground really like it a lot will be returning. The bathrooms are always clean. The grounds are always kept up. Just a really nice place to stay. Most of the sites have some kind of shade.

    Guide to Grenloch

    Cabin accommodations near Grenloch, New Jersey tend to be most available from April through October, with select facilities like Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA offering year-round options. Most campgrounds providing cabin rentals sit within a 20-mile radius of Grenloch in the relatively flat terrain of southern New Jersey, where summer temperatures typically range from 75-90°F with moderate humidity. Winter cabin rentals become limited as many facilities close seasonal operations between November and March.

    What to do

    Fishing at multiple lakes: Goshen Pond at Wharton State Forest offers excellent shoreline access for anglers. "Our site was right next to the Mullica River, and had excellent views if you walked just a couple steps from the tent. We were able to put our kayaks in right next to the site which was very convenient," notes one visitor to Goshen Pond.

    Historic site exploration: The Atsion area features numerous historic buildings and ruins accessible via dirt roads near the campground. A camper at Atsion Family Camp mentions, "In the area there are historic buildings and ruins you get to by 'off roading' on all dirt roads. Great places to kayak and Pineland Adventures right down the street has wonderful trips!"

    Live entertainment options: Several campgrounds host seasonal concerts and events during summer weekends. A visitor to Jellystone Park South Jersey appreciated that "Our site was directly across from the Pavilion which was great for Saturday night's live band." Evening activities often include themed gatherings, movie screenings and holiday celebrations from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

    What campers like

    Lakefront site privacy: Campers consistently mention the value of water-adjacent sites for both views and activities. At Hospitality Creek Campground, one reviewer noted, "Our site(#57— Lakefront Premium Waterfront) had full hookups and everything worked fine. The site was a good size, covered in heavy mulch, and is level. The photos of the lake were taken from our site to show this really is waterfront."

    Clean facilities: Many campgrounds receive praise for their bathroom maintenance. One camper at Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA was impressed that "The park is clean, quiet, full of families. The staff are friendly and welcoming. It's easy to navigate to the park from the interstate, and big rigs fit easily."

    Variety of accommodation options: From tent sites to glamping cabins, the region offers diverse sleeping arrangements. A visitor to Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA shared, "My husband and I stayed for a week 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."

    What you should know

    Seasonal closures are variable: While most campgrounds close for winter, some have extended seasons. A camper at Old Cedar Campground mentions, "We went to Old Cedar Campground in Monroeville, New Jersey, for a quiet getaway weekend. This is a small and basic campground, not a resort. No fancy amenities."

    Water quality varies by location: Several campsites have reported issues with water quality or access. At Parvin State Park, one camper warned, "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."

    Site differences within same campground: Sites at many facilities offer dramatically different experiences even within the same property. A Four Seasons Family Campground visitor cautioned, "The site we were in wasn't very well marked. The dog park was large, but no shade at all which is a big deal in the heat."

    Tips for camping with families

    Look for structured activities: Campgrounds with organized programming provide entertainment without additional planning. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park - Elmer, "The campground is maintained and there are activities for the kids always brewing. We stayed fathers day weekend and they had a breakfast, games and crafts geared towards it."

    Check water feature height requirements: Some splash pads and water attractions have minimum height requirements. A visitor to Jellystone Park - Elmer noted, "The pool and splash park were great but you needed to be at least 42 inches to go on the slide or bounce house."

    Consider proximity to playgrounds: Sites near playgrounds offer convenience but may bring extra noise. At Parvin State Park, a visitor observed, "Site is great for people with families as there was a playground within 50 feet so it is a bit louder and busier. We loved the free and clean showers and bathrooms but we had to drive to them from our site."

    Tips from RVers

    Pack extra water hoses: Some campgrounds have shared hookups that require longer connections. An RVer at Old Cedar Campground advised, "The water hookups are shared every other site (at least in the Fence Loop). I was lucky my 75' hose barely reached the distance needed. Be sure to bring extra hoses."

    Note road conditions: Many campgrounds feature narrow or unpaved access roads. A visitor at Parvin State Park warned, "Very narrow roads to sites, so not big rig friendly there but most sites are quite large. No gravel or pads on sites, just bare ground. No hook ups but there are potable water faucets and a dump station."

    Check arrival timing: Late arrivals may face challenges with site location and setup. At Four Seasons Family Campground, one visitor suggested, "Don't plan on arriving after dark as there is no type of lighting other than what the other campers have lit up."
