Several cabin options exist within Wharton State Forest near Hammonton, including Atsion Cabins and Atsion Family Camp. The cabins at Atsion feature full kitchens with ovens and refrigerators, private bathrooms, and real bedrooms. Most units include large screened-in porches overlooking the water, outdoor cooking spaces, and picnic tables. Electric service is available in cabins, though heating and air conditioning are notably absent. "Atsion cabins are excellent rustic cabins situated directly on the water. They come in a variety of sizes accommodating up to 7 or 8 people," according to one camper's review.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Atsion Cabins operate seasonally, closing on November 1 and reopening in spring. These waterfront accommodations require advance reservations and typically demand multiple-night minimum stays, booking quickly during peak season. Most cabins in the Wharton State Forest area do not allow pets, including the Atsion Cabins specifically. Surrounding campgrounds like Jellystone Park South Jersey, Wading Pines Camping Resort, and Mays Landing Resort also offer cabin rentals with varying amenities and policies.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. As one camper noted, "We made a mistake! While there is electricity, there is NO heat or AC. Our last day was November 1st and it was COLD. Too cold to leave the fireplace for the bedrooms." Firewood is available for purchase across from the Atsion campground entrance for $5 per bundle. Many cabins feature stone fireplaces, making firewood essential during cooler months. Some campgrounds offer on-site markets for basic supplies, while others have no provisions available, requiring campers to bring all necessary items or travel to nearby towns for supplies.

1. Atsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest
"There are also Cabins for rent as well, but only available during the summer months, After Memorial Day until October."

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.

Small
Pulled in like noooo it’s super small tight but here for a week in a cabin kids had a great time nice people pool and weekend activities. We would come back
Guide to Hammonton
Nestled within the New Jersey Pinelands, cabin accommodations near Hammonton sit between 40 and 100 feet above sea level in an area characterized by sandy soil and dense pine forests. The region experiences mild winters with temperatures rarely dropping below 20°F and humid summers that typically reach 85-90°F. Water levels in the surrounding rivers and lakes fluctuate seasonally, affecting access points and swimming conditions at waterfront cabin sites.
What to do
Kayaking and tubing opportunities: Most waterfront cabins provide direct water access. At Winding River Campground, you can arrange kayaking trips with transport back to your cabin. "They have kayaking and tubing available with their own transport 2,3 and 5 hour trips and you come right back down to the campsite!! Bring your own and just pay a small transport fee," notes Michelle F.
Hiking through the pine barrens: Many cabin areas connect to extensive trail systems. The cabins at Brendan Byrne State Forest offer access to "hundreds of miles of trails through the woods and bogs to explore. Can't tell you how much I love it. Could spend a whole vacation just with these trails and never leave this state park," according to Benjamin K.
Historical explorations: Several cabin locations sit near preserved historical sites. "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!" reports Alexa L. about activities near the Atsion area.
What campers like
Privacy levels: Some cabins offer more seclusion than others. At Bass River State Forest, "The sites are a great size and many are set back enough that you have privacy. Many great memories of canoeing and fishing on the lake and is a great family-friendly campground," reports Maggie H.
Winter cabin considerations: Prepare for seasonal limitations in cabins without climate control. "We went during the week, there were 4 sites taken adjacent to me, the rest of the campsite barely had anyone... I had a waterfront site, although you can't really see the water from the site itself. Two paths led down to the lake, about 20 feet," explains Steve about Atsion's layout.
Kitchen and cooking facilities: Cabin amenities vary significantly between locations. "Very Decent Camp in the Pine Barrens, Lots of potable water hydrants around the campground so not far of a walk to fill any water needs you may have. Showers and bathrooms are ok, kept pretty clean," says Dan M. about Brendan Byrne facilities.
What you should know
Cabin preparation essentials: Pack for seasonal temperature fluctuations. "The cabins at Parvin State Park Campground are more rustic than most, which I enjoyed. While there was a stove the heating, which was necessary in November, was accomplished via a stove. The only thing I did not like about the cabin was that it's all bunk beds," explains John S.
Water quality variations: Some cabins have water issues to consider. "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," notes Frank J. about Parvin State Park.
Noise considerations: Sound travels between cabins in some locations. "While camping at Atsion family campground, you have free access to the recreation center (the beach and some trails). In the area there are historic buildings and ruins you get to by 'off roading' on all dirt roads," mentions Alexa L.
Tips for camping with families
Playground accessibility: Choose cabins near play areas for convenience. At Jellystone Park South Jersey, "Everything, including our site, was in great condition, clean, and good working order. Our site was directly across from the Pavilion which was great for Saturday night's live band," reports Matt S.
Swimming options: Different cabin locations offer varying water activities. "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," says Matthew H. about Bass River State Forest.
Bug preparation: The pine barrens region requires specific insect precautions. "Relaxing hiking trails around the lake. Bring bug spray, usually see ticks," advises Rachel S. about conditions at Parvin State Park.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: If bringing an RV to a cabin area, check site conditions. At Wading Pines Camping Resort, "They have 300 camp sites spaced out nicely. All the hook ups you need. Many activities. Live music in the summer. Very nice wading river next to the camp grounds. You can tube down the river from one end of camp to the other," notes Layne.
RV parking near cabins: Some locations have specific RV limitations. "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 and one woman looked annoyed we were there," reports Stacy D. about parking conditions.
Utilities and supplies: Plan for limited services at some locations. "The bathrooms need an upgrade. Everyone was very friendly at the resort. Staying there again soon," mentions Bryan R., highlighting the importance of being prepared with supplies.
