Several RV campgrounds near Hammonton accommodate various motorhome sizes with full hookup capabilities, including electric, water, and sewer connections at multiple parks within 30 miles. Mays Landing Resort provides electric, water, and sewer connections from April through November, while Shady Pines Campground in Absecon offers year-round access with 50-amp service. Atlantic Blueberry RV Park features premium sites, though some reviewers note confusion about hookup types. At Spacious Skies Country Oaks in Dorothy, pull-through sites #12-15 include concrete patios and 50-amp connections, though they're positioned quite close together. Echo Farms RV Campground in Ocean View provides big rig friendly sites with full hookups from May to mid-October. "The pull-thru sites are packed together so tightly that our sitting area was bordered by the hookups from the neighboring site. That's a little unpleasant."
Advance reservations are essential during summer months when shore-bound travelers fill these parks. Most campgrounds within 30 miles of Hammonton provide convenient access to Atlantic City, Ocean City, and Long Beach Island beaches. Sites at several parks consist of sandy or gravel surfaces rather than concrete pads, creating challenges during rainy periods. Cell service quality varies significantly between locations, with Verizon typically providing the most reliable coverage. Many parks charge resort-level pricing ($65-125 per night) despite offering basic amenities. Water pressure fluctuations have been reported at some facilities during peak usage times. Dump stations are available at most parks, though one traveler noted: "The dump station is just a little hole on the side of the road and the ONLY dump station for the 3 campgrounds! It was very unlevel and not easy to fully dump our tanks."
Best RV Campgrounds near Hammonton (85)

"We stayed in the small tent loop at this private, primarily RV resort. First, the good stuff: The tent loop was empty for our 5 night stay with the exception of night 1. We were at site F17."

3. Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites & RV Resort
"Tent site was fantastic, level, trees are well trimmed, but still with good coverage, sites are a nice size. Close enough to the bathroom and water options. Campground well appointed."

4. Echo Farms RV Campground
5. Sun Retreats Avalon

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.

GuideAtsion 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.

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 Hammonton

Temperatures typically range from 26°F in winter to 86°F in summer, with higher humidity levels from June through September.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake in Port Republic, campers enjoy lake fishing less than 20 miles from Hammonton. "Good fishing, good people, nice shaded and sunny spots, beautiful pool. Cons; bugs, no store, stay away from the front middle spots, they flood when it rains," shares one frequent visitor.
Beach access: Cape May beaches are accessible from campgrounds 35-45 miles southeast of Hammonton. A camper at Sun Retreats Avalon noted, "We were close to the Cape May beaches. Cold Spring Brewery wasn't too far and was fun."
Brewery tours: Several small breweries operate within 15-30 minutes of Hammonton campgrounds. "There's a cute brewery right around the corner and a burger place called Tony Beef. We liked them both!" reported a camper at Shady Pines Campground.
Biking trails: Flat terrain around many campgrounds creates good cycling conditions. "This is a nice, flat campground so great for bike riding," mentioned a visitor at Sun Retreats Avalon, where paved roads throughout the facility accommodate riders of all ages.
What campers like
Swimming options: Many campgrounds offer both pools and natural swimming areas for cooling off. At Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites & RV Resort, "Love the pool, lake, waterslides, and proximity to cape may," a camper explained, highlighting multiple water recreation options.
Wildlife viewing: Several campgrounds feature natural ponds or marshland where wildlife can be observed. A visitor at King Nummy Trail Campground mentioned, "These sites have beautiful views of the marsh and sunset."
Community activities: Seasonal events and gatherings create social opportunities. At Mays Landing Resort, one visitor experienced, "Halloween decorations were the best. My daughter really enjoyed the scavenger hunt... It was Saturday and they were rocking. I dont know if the person playing the music was a professional DJ, he was incredible."
Clean facilities: Bathroom maintenance rates highly in camper feedback. "The bathhouse was clean AND air conditioned!!!!!" exclaimed one camper at Sun Retreats Avalon, while another visitor to Shady Pines noted, "We have a small TT so my family did utilize the bathrooms for shower conveniece after the beach and they were SUPER clean."
What you should know
Site leveling challenges: Many RV sites near Hammonton, New Jersey require extra leveling equipment. A camper at Mays Landing Resort reported, "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."
Seasonal resident majority: Several campgrounds primarily serve long-term or permanent residents. "This is more like a long term stay place that has a couple of short term sites," noted one visitor to Mays Landing Resort, while another observed it "gave more of a Mobil home park feel."
Variable site spacing: Site dimensions and privacy levels vary considerably between campgrounds and even within the same facility. At Sun Retreats Avalon, a camper with a large rig noted, "The roadways are narrow and there isn't a lot of maneuvering room. We stayed in site 402a and it was a nightmare backing in and getting out of."
Noise considerations: Weekend gatherings can create noise concerns at some locations. "We were put off by the behavior of the seasonal campers... The golf carts were the absolute worst, people don't obey the speed limit on these things (and there are a lot of them whizzing around...)," reported a camper at Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Select campgrounds with multiple recreation options for different age groups. At Echo Farms RV Campground in Ocean View, location proves advantageous as it's "centrally located around 4 beaches" according to one visitor, providing various swimming options.
Bug protection: Insect repellent remains essential, especially in wooded areas or near water. "The bugs were INSANE!" warned one tent camper at Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites, while a Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake visitor listed "bugs" as the main drawback of an otherwise positive experience.
Safety considerations: Some campgrounds feature water hazards requiring extra vigilance with small children. At Mays Landing Resort, a camper cautioned, "Parents of small children and toddlers: the tent loop is surrounded by water on 3 sides. There is no safety fence. The water is mostly standing water so expect mosquitoes."
Accommodation options: Beyond tent and RV sites, some campgrounds offer cabin rentals. "Our parents stayed in a cabin which was very nice with a bedroom, living/kitchen, and bathroom," noted a Sun Retreats Avalon visitor, providing an option for family members who don't own camping equipment.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Research specific site dimensions and layout when booking RV sites near Hammonton. At Sun Retreats Avalon, one RVer warned about specific challenges: "The roadways are narrow and there isn't a lot of maneuvering room... there are trees all the way up to the street which limits your turn radius as well as cement marker poles."
Long-term camper insights: Connect with seasonal residents for local knowledge. At Shady Pines Campground, a camper found this beneficial: "There are several contract workers staying there and we found them to be really helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding area and RV care. Their rigs were impeccable!"
Leveling equipment: Pack extra leveling blocks, especially for campgrounds with sloped sites. One RVer at Shady Pines observed, "I can definitely see where the previous reviewer said they had trouble with leveling from front to back. We have a very small TT and pulled back as far as we could otherwise we would have been on a slope as well."
Pull-through availability: Call ahead to confirm pull-through availability for larger rigs. At Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake, a visitor noted the convenience of "pull through" sites, though availability may be limited during peak season, with another camper mentioning "We weren't sure about this campground. We booked through Thousand Trails and you can't reserve sites."
