Best Glamping near Mauricetown, NJ

A beautiful wooded campground close to the beaches of Cape May, New Jersey. Very family oriented and really a great place for adults too. We stayed in a teepee and it is one of the coolest places I have camped. These days I like glamping and this was the best experience yet!

Arrived at 1pm on Wednesday. Check in was smooth. They allowed me to drive around first and pick out a campsite before checking in. They charge $5 extra for a dog. So far it is very quiet and that's what I was looking for. It's just a short drive to the ocean is:Cape May, Ocean City New Jersey.

This place was recommended to us by a friend when we first started camping. We've been back many times since then. It's very close to everything, but you don't even need to leave the campground! There are a ton of activities! Certain areas in the campground are very "buggy" and it can get a little pricey, but it's the best place we've been to in New Jersey so far.

We stayed in a yurt. it was a great experience that we would definitely do again. There is a small lake that was great to kayak on.

We spent an extended weekend at Sun Outdoors at Rehoboth Bay(formerly called The Resort at Massey’s Landing). And we had a blast! 

Located on Rehoboth Bay, this resort was a great place to spend a long holiday weekend. Our paved site was just a few steps to a private beach which was really nice and clean. The campground included a heated pool with swim-up bar, kids activity pool, camp store, ice cream shop, and restaurant with bar. There’s no reason to ever leave the property! 

We found the amenities and facilities were clean and maintained. Our site(# 214) was level and the full hookups all worked fine. This is a dog-friendly resort in all areas except the swimming pools. Daily trash pickup from the site is a great convenience. Even though the place was full for the holiday weekend, the staff handled everything well and always had a friendly greeting (including dog treats for our 4-legged traveller). 

We had the opportunity to take the Cape May Lewes Ferry from and back to New Jersey. Driving a motor home onto a boat is an experience by itself. And we were fortunate to have great weather for our entire trip. 

This is a great place and we can’t wait to come back! 

THINGS I LIKED: 

• Private beach 

• Clean and well maintained property 

THINGS I’D CHANGE: 

• Slow WiFi and sketchy cable service 
• The sites are really tightly packed without any trees for shade or privacy

We stayed at Sea Pirate Campground in West Creek, New Jersey, for a week in mid-August We’re so glad we did! 

Our site (#201) was a level pull-thru with 50-amp electric, water, sewer, and cable. It was easy to pull in and can accommodate larger rigs. The hook-ups were all well-maintained and worked fine. We had plenty of room to fit our car too. The site included a picnic table and fire ring. 

The gated campground was clean and well-maintained. The heated swimming pool was large and the water crystal clear. The store was stocked with typical essentials like supplies, fire wood, and snacks. Daily trash collection was a nice convenience. Wifi service was strong and our Verizon cell service worked fine. 

The front office staff were all friendly and we love that, especially when checking in at a new campground. 

Drive time to Long Beach Island ranged between 3-40 minutes each trip we took depending on traffic. There are plenty of stores within a 5-mile drive if you should need anything including Walmart, super markets, convenience stores, and several restaurants. 

Our only minor negatives were that the firewood sold in the store was so wet it wouldn’t light and they charge an additional$5 if you want it delivered to your site. And our site was really sandy and dirty which created a bit of a mess, especially after some rain, but it is the Jersey shore. 

This is a great campground with a nice pool and good proximity to LBI. We’ll can’t wait to go back!

We went to Ocean View Resort in New Jersey to kick off the 2022 season in our new Fleetwood Discovery LXE. And we’re glad we did! 

This campground is located less than two miles from Exit 17 off the Garden State Parkway. It’s located a short drive from popular shore towns including Avalon, Sea Isle City, Cape May, and Ocean City. We found the park easy to access and navigate. 

The check-in process was easy and the front office staff was friendly. I appreciate being expected when stepping up to the front desk. 

The most amazing part of our experience was our‘Deluxe 50 Amp Pull Thru’ site# E19. It was HUUUUUUGGGGGGE! See my photos. Our site had full hookups including 50-amp electricity, good water pressure, easily-accessed sewer connection, cable TV with limited channels(some were not clear), and Wi-Fi which was hopelessly slow. Tall trees provided some shade and privacy. The site was covered in gravel and stone, which is great because it didn’t get muddy after the rainstorm we experienced one night. I highly recommend sites E15-E27(E14 slopes too much for my preference). Most sites are seasonal trailers or-park models, but they appeared generally clean and maintained. 

The campground, our site, and facilities we visited were clean and well-maintained. Not all facilities were open as the full season begins in a few weeks. The campground store carries a variety of food and drinks, camping and RV supplies, clothing, pool toys, and souvenirs. This came in handy when I needed to replace a damaged sewer hose. 

It’s a good sign when it’s difficult to think of negative comments. If I’m being nit-picky, I’d share that the trash and recycling dumpsters were overflowing and unsightly. This could be because it was opening weekend. The firewood they sold was nice and dry, but they don’t deliver it to the sites. This meant I could only purchase what I could carry for my walk back to my site.(I believe offering delivery would be a major convenience for campers and result in increased sales for the campground.) 

This was their opening weekend for the 2022 season. While we expected inconveniences or less-than-ideal conditions, we found the place was prepared for the new season and we had no issues. The lake, swimming pool, and cafe hadn’t opened yet, but we’ll be sure to visit those amenities during our next visit later this summer. 

THINGS I LIKED: Site was huge and clean with well-maintained full hookups, gravel, and shade trees. Campground is clean and maintained. Store was well-stocked 

THINGS I’D CHANGE: No delivery for firewood Slow Wi-Fi Limited working cable TV channels

We stay in the CCC section that has water and electric. The sites are big. The bathroom are a little old, but we really enjoy camping there. Highly recommend 🔥🏕️

Spent 2 nights here. Very quiet and peaceful. Went to sea isle city for the day. We didn’t spend too much time on the campground. Showers could’ve been cleaner. The showers are a big part of a campground.

Had a great weekend with friends. Fishing was good from our inflatable kayak. Beautiful lake. Very nice hiking trails

I stayed in the“CCC” camping area off-season. The campground was very quiet during my stay. The sites were surprisingly level, large, and spread out. The electric and water service seems to have been upgraded in the recent past, so power was clean and the water pressure was good(let it run for a few minutes before hooking up as it had a brownish color at first). There is a playground and a lake, with some short trails for hiking but it certainly is a no-frills park. The point, though, is to get away and to that end, my stay was very enjoyable.

Belleplain is easy to get to, but it’s just remote enough that you’ll truly feel like you’re getting the outdoor experience. Make sure you have a map of the site handy, as it can be hard to navigate with the foliage and lack of marked roadways.

The staff was completely absent when we tried to check in, so we went right to the site. Finding the site was difficult because the leaves had fallen and covered the roads. It was a little tricky, but no major issue. We had some privacy, but for the most part, the sites are open to each other. I recommend staying by the lake.

The closest bathrooms were closed, so we had to drive a few minutes to a different set. That got annoying. Also, there is absolutely nowhere to leave your trash, so be prepared to pack in and pack out.

This review is for the tent camping sites in the “north shore” area of the campground. My favorite tent camping sites in the entire campground. These are sites with electric or water, however there are water access throughout the north shore area, accessible to all campers. The campsite we stayed at was close to bathrooms with showers and close to a playground, great for families with little kids. It’s a good walkable camping location, also pretty close to lake nummy. The front office sells stacks of firewood for convenience. Great campground, It’s a very good campground for families tent-camping with young kids.

First time here and will be back…. Best state run campground I’ve been to Friendly staff, clean facilities, so much to do. Ofers more then some private campgrounds.

The camping in this forest is wonderful for camping and polite people 😀

Very nice campground tucked away in southern NJ. Clean facilities. Plenty of space for our tent. lake for swimming and you can rent boats. nice hiking trails and playground. About 20 minutes away from the Cape May zoo.

The site was clean, the fore rings were perfect where you could have coals going for cooking and a simultaneous large wood fire. Huge campsite. Even though there wasn’t a ton of privacy it felt like we were in an enchanted woodland village, like Kokori forest.

The water was the best tasting water! I was so pleasantly surprised and made sure to fill up before heading home.

The bathrooms and showers were immaculate. Easy access to some basic playgrounds to keep kids busy when doing set up and take down.

We will be back!

We had a great time out at Belleplain! The only downside is the cell service, but it’s not their fault! The park itself was very quiet, clean, and they even had parks for our littles to play at! The restrooms were clean as well- which to me is a BIG PLUS! A lot of the campsites are very spacious as well, which was nice, as we have a large family and a large tent! Pets are also allowed with no size restrictions with vaccination records and a leash!

They have kayaks available to rent to row across the peaceful Nummy Lake. They also have events regularly scheduled for things to do with your family and friends, like bird watching for instance! They also have hiking trails and bikes!
