    Several RV parks near Long Beach, New Jersey offer full hookup sites with varying amenities and accessibility. Long Beach RV Resort in Barnegat provides 50-amp electric service, water hookups, and sites that accommodate tent camping through large motorhomes. "I reserved and paid-in-full for a premium site which listed 50-amp service and a concrete pad. Nope. Only 30-amp service and no concrete pad," noted one visitor about a nearby campground, highlighting the importance of confirming site details before arrival. Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake in Port Republic features pull-through sites with water, electric, and sewer connections, operating from April 1 to November 1. Shady Pines Campground in Absecon maintains year-round availability with big-rig friendly sites, though some reviewers mention significant site slope issues requiring extra leveling blocks.

    Many RV parks in the region have gated entrances with varying road conditions for large vehicles. Cell service strength varies significantly across campgrounds, with Verizon typically providing the most reliable coverage. According to one visitor, "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." Most parks charge additional fees for services like firewood delivery, cable TV, and WiFi access. Pet policies differ substantially between facilities, with some military campgrounds prohibiting pets entirely. Proximity to Garden State Parkway exits makes navigation straightforward for most destinations, though internal campground roads can be narrow and challenging for larger motorhomes, particularly after rainfall when sandy sites become problematic.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    Guide to Long Beach

    Camping options near Long Beach, New Jersey range from tent sites to full-service RV resorts with hookups. Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from April through October, though some like Shady Pines Campground remain open year-round. Weather conditions vary significantly with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F and frequent coastal humidity making bug protection essential at waterside camping areas.

    What to do

    Beach access: Long Beach RV Resort provides a convenient base for exploring nearby beaches and coastal attractions. "Clean, quiet, lots of activities for both children and adults, and overall a great campground," notes one visitor who appreciated its location.

    Fishing opportunities: Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake offers lake fishing for campers. "The lake has plenty of fish," mentions a camper who stayed multiple months at the facility. Baby turtles can sometimes be spotted hatching near water features at certain times of year.

    Miniature golf: Several campgrounds maintain on-site activities including mini-golf courses. One camper at Mays Landing noted, "The miniature golf course could have been maintained better, but it was so inexpensive I couldn't consider it an issue."

    What campers like

    Lake swimming options: Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake provides both lake and pool swimming options. "The girls loved swimming in the lake and the pool. We were only a short drive from the beach, as well," shares a family who stayed with young children.

    Clean facilities: Many campers mention well-maintained bathrooms as a priority. One visitor at Mays Landing Resort noted, "The bathroom was clean but needs to be updated a bit."

    Entertainment programming: Weekend activities are common at several campgrounds. "There's a cute brewery right around the corner and a burger place called Tony Beef. We liked them both!" reported a camper staying at Shady Pines who appreciated the nearby dining options.

    What you should know

    Site leveling challenges: Multiple RV parks have uneven sites requiring extra equipment. A visitor at Shady Pines Campground explained, "The site was inadequately sized to accommodate the full length. The much bigger problem was that it sloped so much it was impossible to level."

    Seasonal camper concentrations: Many campgrounds host primarily long-term residents. "This is more like a long term stay place that has a couple of short term sites," observed a Mays Landing visitor who found limited overnight options.

    Weather-related site issues: Some campgrounds have drainage problems during rain. "Stay away from the front middle spots, they flood when it rains," warns a repeat visitor to Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake who otherwise enjoyed their stay.

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming pools: Most campgrounds with family amenities maintain swimming pools. "Beautiful pool," noted a camper at Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake who particularly enjoyed this feature for children.

    Playground facilities: Mays Landing Resort offers play areas for children. "It does have a nice playground for the little kids," mentions a visitor who found this amenity valuable during their stay. Some campgrounds also organize scavenger hunts and similar activities.

    Water safety concerns: Parents should note water hazards at certain campgrounds. One reviewer at Mays Landing cautioned, "The tent loop is surrounded by water on 3 sides. There is no safety fence. The water is mostly standing water so expect mosquitoes."

    Tips from RVers

    Sewer connection placement: RV sites near Long Beach, New Jersey sometimes have awkwardly positioned hookups. At the Military Park NJ National Guard Training Center RV Sites, "The sewer hookup is about 18 inches off the ground so you need to lift the hose when emptying the tanks to ensure it actually fully drains."

    Site navigation challenges: Many campgrounds feature narrow roads that can be difficult for larger motorhomes. "The exit is very tight to get out of and all lanes are one way so be careful if you have a big rig," advises an RVer about Mays Landing Resort.

    Concrete pad availability: Some campgrounds advertise concrete pads but may not deliver. "FULL hookups as well," notes a Military Park visitor who appreciated the concrete pads that come standard at this location, making setup easier than at gravel or dirt sites.
