Several RV parks near Beachwood offer full hookup sites with varying amenities. Indian Rock RV Resort in Jackson provides 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections on 99 sites that accommodate larger rigs. Military Park NJ National Guard Training Center RV Sites in Sea Girt features full hookups with concrete pads and operates seasonally from Memorial Day to Labor Day. "The sites are level concrete with full hookups and attached concrete patio. Power is at the far back and sewage is in the middle," noted one visitor about a similar military campground. Shady Pines Campground in Absecon remains open year-round with 50-amp service, though some sites have significant slopes that can make leveling difficult.
Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer months, particularly for weekend stays when campgrounds near the Jersey Shore fill quickly. Most RV parks in the region provide sanitary dump stations, though placement varies considerably between facilities. Cell service through major carriers like Verizon typically works well throughout the area, with stronger signals closer to major highways. Many parks restrict pets or require additional registration fees. Seasonal availability differs significantly between facilities - Turkey Swamp Park offers 30-amp and water hookups with pull-through sites in a heavily wooded setting, while Long Beach RV Resort operates from April through November with 50-amp service. A review mentioned that "the water pressure was extremely low, often below 20 PSI" at one coastal campground, highlighting the importance of bringing water pressure regulators.

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.

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.

Park uses county cops to shut down park by 9pm.
On Friday, September 4, 2026, I rented a trailer and brought my family to Cheesequake State Park to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary over the extended Labor Day weekend. Around 9:20 PM—well before the park's designated 10:00 PM quiet hours—we were sitting inside our canopy, playing Jenga, and listening to low background music. Two officers from the Matawan Police Department approached our campsite. They were polite and courteous, simply offering a standard reminder to wrap things up by 10:00 PM. Before they could leave, however, a third, senior officer intervened. Wanting to"show them how it's done," he made the two polite officers return and stand by to watch as he demonstrated how to aggressively harass campers. Flashlight in hand, the senior officer approached with an immediate hostile attitude, treating us like criminals as he demanded to know who rented the site. He began reiterating rules and claimed we had too many vehicles. We had three cars, one belonging to my brother-in-law's girlfriend, who was visiting with her daughter. She had paid the$10 visitor fee at the main office and was instructed by staff to obtain the gate access code from us, the primary renters, if she got locked in. No staff member ever informed her of an 8:00 PM visitor departure deadline, leading us to reasonably assume visitors were permitted until quiet hours began at 10:00 PM. The officer rudely snapped that she had been given wrong information. The senior officer then used profanity in front of three small children, aggressively telling her to ("get her shit and get the fuck out!") in that manner or use profanity, the officer went from hostile to furious. He angrily declared that these were official violations and threatened that he could be issuing us tickets instead. Desperately searching for anything and everything to throw at us, he demanded that we turn off our idling car—which was supplying power to our campsite—and instructed us to make sure the campfire was doused before shutting down for the night. He then proceeded to shine his flashlight into our private setup—including our canopy, tents, and the inside of our trailer—searching for any other possible violation while the two polite officers were forced to watch. What was supposed to be a special 10th wedding anniversary celebration with my family was completely ruined by a senior officer misusing his authority to put on an unnecessary display of intimidation. Worse than just ruining our night, he spent that evening teaching those two police officers how to be bad cops. He corrupted two officers in real time, demonstrating firsthand exactly why most people have lost faith in the police force. The next day we was ready for them. We turned off our lights and quietly by the fire while they went next door to harass an asian family that had just set up camp and had their leds lights on.

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.
Nadine R.GuideAtsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest
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 Beachwood
RV parks near Beachwood, New Jersey offer diverse options across Ocean and Atlantic counties, with most facilities concentrated within a 30-mile radius. The region features sandy pine forest terrain and elevations under 100 feet above sea level, creating relatively level camping sites except where noted. Summer humidity levels typically exceed 75%, making proper ventilation and climate control essential for comfortable camping from June through August.
What to Do
Beach access options: Military Park NJ National Guard Training Center RV Sites provides convenient beach access. "Free beach just a few moments' walk down the road. Close to shore towns & many restaurants. Plenty of space for kids to play in the field/grass area," according to Jessica D.
Fishing opportunities: Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake offers lake fishing within the campground. One camper noted, "The sites are big and clean, Lake has plenty of fish, Very nice family room and the pool is just beautiful."
Nearby attractions: Indian Rock RV Resort serves as a convenient base for Six Flags visits. Valen K. shared, "We stayed two nights at this park because we wanted to spend a day at Six flags... We would camp here again to go to six flags because it was easy to drive back a few minutes after a long day at the park."
What Campers Like
Clean facilities: NWS Earle RV Park maintains well-kept amenities. Jeffrey reported, "The bathhouse has one male and one female stall each. Laundry facilities are free for use and in like new condition."
Affordable rates: Military Park offers competitive pricing for full-hookup sites. "Price is great at $45/night. FULL hookups as well," according to Jessica D., though she noted "the sewer hookup is about 18 inches off the ground so you need to lift the hose when emptying the tanks."
Pool and recreational areas: Several campgrounds offer swimming facilities to combat summer heat. At Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake, campers praise the "beautiful pool" and lake access, while Mays Landing Resort features "a nice playground for the little kids."
What You Should Know
Site leveling challenges: Multiple campgrounds have uneven sites requiring careful setup. At Mays Landing Resort, Daniel C. noted "Sites are very unleveled so the staff switched us to a pull thru space that was a tad bit more level but still very unleveled."
Weekend noise levels: Some facilities host evening activities that create noise. At Mays Landing Resort, Danielle S. reported, "On Saturday night, there is a DJ and a dance party from 7-10 pm. It is extraordinarily loud and somewhat impossible to navigate a car through that many people."
Military restrictions: Military campgrounds have specific access rules but offer excellent value. At NWS Earle RV Park, all spaces feature "level concrete with full hookups and attached concrete patio," though Jeffrey noted "even though the published rules state no long term leases there are a couple of trailers that haven't seen the road in some time."
Tips for Camping with Families
Water safety considerations: Shady Pines Campground offers a pool that families enjoy. Amanda M. shared, "They had a little party by the pool with a DJ and food on July 3rd. My daughter made friends with kids her age in the pool."
Consider layout for tent camping: For families with tents, site selection affects comfort. At Mays Landing Resort, Danielle S. advised, "Site F 17 is the lowest point of the tent loop, which won't be a problem unless it rains. F15 is on the high side and slightly larger site, request it if you can."
Look for recreational facilities: On-site activities help keep children entertained. Shady Pines Campground features amenities for families, with Amanda noting "My husband and son did play pool one night in the community center."
Tips from RVers
Check water hookup placement: Military Park National Guard Training Center has specific hookup arrangements. Jessica D. mentioned, "Only annoying thing was the sewer hookup is about 18 inches off the ground so you need to lift the hose when emptying the tanks."
Space constraints: At Long Beach RV Resort, sites accommodate various RV sizes, though campgrounds closer to the shore tend to have tighter spacing. Some rv parks near Beachwood require careful navigation through narrow roads, with Mays Landing described as "a maze" with "really narrow, winding streets."
Satellite and WiFi connectivity: Cell service varies between campgrounds. At Shady Pines Campground, full-time residents can provide local information. Amanda M. reported, "There are several contract workers staying there and we found them to be really helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding area and RV care."
