Best RV Parks & Resorts near Mays Landing, NJ

Mays Landing Resort and Shady Pines Campground provide full hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer connections for motorhomes and travel trailers. Both campgrounds accommodate big rigs with pull-through sites, though space between units can be limited. "Not entirely a campground. This is more like a long term stay place that has a couple of short term sites," noted one visitor about Mays Landing Resort, which operates seasonally from April through November. Nearby Pomona RV Park offers year-round camping with 50-amp service and spacious sites for larger rigs. Atlantic Blueberry RV Park features premium sites with partial hookups, though some reviewers mention needing to pay for black tank pump-out service as an additional charge.

Several RV parks in the region have challenging site conditions that require careful setup. One traveler reported that Shady Pines had sites that "sloped so much it was impossible to level. I didn't have enough blocks to prop up the leveling jacks." Cell service varies throughout the area, with Verizon typically providing the strongest signal. Most campgrounds near Mays Landing are located within 30 minutes of Atlantic City and Jersey Shore beaches. Dump stations can be limited, with some parks offering only a single station serving multiple camping loops. Pet policies differ between facilities, with most allowing dogs but enforcing leash requirements. Seasonal availability ranges from year-round operations at Shady Pines and Pomona RV Park to limited seasons at other facilities that close between November and April.

    Baker's Acres Campground

    Rustic and Classic Campground

    We stayed at Baker’s Acres Campground in Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey, for a weekend in mid-August. So did the rains of Hurricane Henri! 

    Our site(#Zoo-1) was a level back-in with 50-amp electric, water, sewer, and cable. It was easy to pull in and accommodates 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. My favorite thing about this campground is that most of the sites have plenty of trees and shrubs for semi-privacy, shade, and a rustic feel. 

    This campground has been family run for over 50-years and has an interesting history that’s worth reading more about. Our site is located across from the pickle ball court which used to be a petting zoo(now the site# should make sense, right?). We came because we wanted to experience one of New Jersey’s oldest campgrounds. We liked the interesting vignettes they created around the campground as well as the goldfish pond near the office and store. 

    Baker’s Acres is well-maintained. The amenities include a swimming pool, lots of sports courts/fields, and a bunch of family-friendly scheduled activities. There is a camp store with all the usual items as well as bath and laundry facilities. The wifi service was ok, but costs$1 per day per device. 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 Tuckerton Seaport is about 10-minutes and Long Beach Island is about 35-minutes 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 negative was that our site was sandy dirt which created a bit of a mess, especially after the rain. It is the Jersey shore, after all. This would have been 5 stars if the site had gravel, grass, or was finished with concrete. It’s a pet peeve, but I hate having to constantly clean up to keep the sand out of our RV. 

    This is a great old-fashioned campground close to LBI. We’ll can’t wait to go back!

    Atsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest

    4x4ing in the Pine Barrens

    Atsion Family Campground

    Off US 206 and about 1/2 a mile up Atsion Road in New Jersey’s Wharton State Forest, you’ll find the Atsion Family Campground. The facility is run by the Dept of Environmental Protection and offers Tent, Trailer and Group Sites. There are also Cabins for rent as well, but only available during the summer months, After Memorial Day until October. AFC is one of several campgrounds in WSF and is the largest with 50 camping sites. Amenities include a handicapped accessible restroom/shower building, several drinking water spigots, and a waste dump for trailers. There are no electric hook ups and cell service is low, but manageable. Plenty of sun (shady too) so bring your solar powered generators and cell signal boosters if you need to stay connected. AFC is also pet friendly, so bring your 4 legged furry family members, after registering them with the camp site.

    The individual sites are spacious with a pic-nick table and fire ring grill. Some sites have lake-side water access, so bring your canoes and kayaks and reserve these sites (4, 8, 10, 12, 20 and 22) early as they are popular. The ground is sandy and relatively level for easy camp set up. Some sites are close to a roadway, so you do get some car noise, and like all unmonitored camp sites, loud, unruly campers can be lurking among the pines. Be sure to get your fire wood from the guy that lives across the street from the campground entrance. 5 bucks, on the honor system, a good amount of wood, open 24/7.

    Nearby is the Atsion Recreation Area, which offers fishing, walking, biking and horseback trails, a life guard monitored beach by the lake with restrooms and snacks (Summer Months). Only 15 minutes away, a quick drive, is Batso Village, an old iron and glass community from the late 1700s to early 1900s. NJ State Park Rangers are working hard keeping the area clean, rehabilitated, and educational center allowing you to walk through the old buildings and time as you image what life was like back then. Wharton SF is huge, over 122,000 acres of sandy terrain, towering pine trees, lakes/rivers and off roading trails!! Y’all should come and play in the Pine Barrens

    Holly Acres RV Park

    This is a nice campground with plenty to do nearby.

    5 Stars / Labor Day Weekend 

    We stayed at Holly Acres Campground in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey, for Labor Day weekend. We’re so glad we did! 

    Our site(#A28) was a level pull-thru with 50-amp electric, water, sewer, wifi, and cable. It was roomy, shady, and easy to pull in and out. 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 swimming pool was inviting. The store was a bit small and date, but stocked with basic essentials like supplies, fire wood, and snacks. Most of the neighboring RVs were nice and in good shape. The park has bath facilities, a dump station on the way out, and a fishing pond. 

    This park is just a few minutes from the Garden State Parkway and close to Atlantic City, Brigantine, Historic Smithville, and Absecon— all within 30-minutes drive-time. You can visit casinos, the Absecon Lighthouse, and several beach towns without going far. 

    For Labor Day weekend, the staff walked around Jezel, a friendly horse, and hosted a BBQ in their pavilion. 

    This is a nice campground with plenty to do nearby. We can’t wait to go back!

    Ocean View Resort Campground

    ★★★★ Shakedown Trip

    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

    Spacious Skies Country Oaks

    Quiet Getaway Weekend

    ★★★ Quiet Getaway Weekend 

    We went to Spacious Skies Country Oaks in Dorothy, New Jersey, for a quiet getaway weekend. This is a small and basic campground, not a resort. No fancy amenities. We stayed in Site# 14- a pull-thru with 50-amp, water, and sewer. The hookups seemed to work just fine. There is a small concrete patio(which I like), fire ring(filled with trash from the previous camper), and picnic table. 

    We went for a quiet weekend, so it didn’t bother us too much that there was no Wi-Fi and no cable TV. It would’ve been nice to have cable and/or Wi-Fi since it rained through most of our stay. I understand there is supposed to be Wi-Fi, but it wasn’t working. Our Verizon mobile service worked fine. And they plan to offer TV in the future. 

    The pull-thru sites(# 12-15) are packed together so tightly that our sitting area was bordered by the hookups from the neighboring site. That’s a little unpleasant. And there are no trees for shade or privacy. Most of the rest of the sites in the campground are better spaced apart and wooded. I believe most of those sites are seasonal, but they seemed to be maintained. 

    This was our second stay at SSCO, but first since a change of ownership to Spacious Skies a few months ago. I’m hoping the new owners make some upgrades to services and maintenance. If so, we’ll be back. 

    THINGS I LIKED: The staff we met were all friendly and attentive- especially Kim, Eileen, and Jack Basic campground without resort-like amenities Quiet place to stay 

    THINGS I’D CHANGE: Offer Wi-Fi Offer cable TV(this cost a star) The pull-thru sites are packed too close(this cost a star) 

    NOTE: I try to review the places we stay based on what they’re trying to be. Resorts with water parks and lots of amenities should be reviewed differently than basic campgrounds in my opinion. Every place starts with 5-stars and loses stars for things I believe could and should be better.

    Spacious Skies Country Oaks

    Great Value Getaway!

    We stayed at Country Oaks Campground in Dorothy, NJ, for a 4-day weekend. We’re so glad we did! 

    Our site(#15) was a pull-thru with 50-amp electric, water, sewer, and cable. The hook-ups were all well-maintained and worked fine. The site included a concrete patio, picnic table, and fire ring. 

    The campground was clean and well-maintained. The swimming pool was large and the water crystal clear. The game room included air hockey, pinball, video games, and a few arcade games. The store was stocked with typical essentials like propane, fire wood, and snacks. Daily trash collection was a nice convenience. 

    The staff and camp hosts were all friendly and eager to help. We especially love that. 

    The majority of sites are seasonal which all seemed well kept. 

    The only negative was bad wifi service. Our Verizon cell signal was strong which kept us connected. 

    This is a great campground. Many thanks to the staff for a great stay and lots of value at Country Oaks for$65 per night. We’ll certainly go back!

    Shady Pines Campground

    Not Much of a ‘Resort’

    Not Much of a ‘Resort’

    We stayed at Shady Pines MH& RV Resort for a one-night getaway just for the camping experience. 

    The park was easy to find and located just under 3-miles from the Garden State Parkway. 

    The front office staff person was polite and prepared for our arrival. 

    I reserved this site using Campspot. The rate was$65 plus$23 in fees for a total of$88 for one night. 

    Even though I provided accurate dimensions for our motorhome, 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. I didn’t have enough blocks to prop up the leveling jacks enough to level the RV. I called the front office and was given another site to try. That didn’t work any better. I called back and was given a third site which was the worst so far. Then, at the fourth attempt we could get level. The site was still on a decline, but not as bad as the other three. 

    Our site (#71) was too short for our 37’ motorhome. I made it fit, but measured just 3-inches of air between the back of my RV and the back of our neighbor’s RV. Three inches! The site had not been checked since its last guests left because there was refuse(used bandages, a used propane canister, etc.) that should have been cleaned prior to check-in by new guests. The water, 50-amp electric, and sewer hookups worked fine.

    Other than a small swimming pool and a small fenced area for dogs, there were no amenities.

    In speaking with our neighbor, it became apparent that there are several people working on assignment for a nearby decommissioned nuclear power plant who live at this campground. Shady Pines caters to long-term and year-round guests as well as manufactured homes/trailers that are permanent. We were the only motorhome in the entire park. This is ok, but a sign that while this place suits their needs, it doesn’t do much to attract couples and families on overnight trips and vacations.

    Due to the sloped and not-so-clean sites, lack of amenities, and full-price rate charged, we won’t be back.

    Belleplain State Forest

    quiet, huge sites, great hiking trails

    Positive: Our site was HUGE!!!! It was also super private with trees and a lot of privacy from the road and our neighbors.   We had friends stay in the lean-tos nearby and others visit.  We had room to park several cars.  This would be a great site for an RV plus a few tents.   The roads were all recently paved.    There are 3 campgrounds here: North Shore, Miesle and CCC.   CCC is the only one with electric and water hookups on site.  We used our RV bathrooms most of the time and stayed 3 nights.

    The Kayak and Canoe rentals were right near us.  The nature center had planned activities for families each day.    The swimming lake was beautiful.  We biked the trails, and hiked others that didn't allow bikes.  They are putting in new bathrooms at Miesle this year.    If you don't mind dry docking, then stay on that side.   I was happy to see that they had cans for recycling. which often campgrounds do not. 

    Negative: 

    -We were NOT happy that the bathrooms next to us were closed, apparently for years, and it was not noted.  We purposely booked in 105 due to the proximity.  The other bathrooms in the CCC were a good walk, and pretty run down.    I was impressed that they had a laundry facility though. 

    -Also, there was a dip in the site when backing in and our fifth wheel was bending to the point of rubbing the top of our truck when backing in.  It also had rained and there were puddles in the sand.

    -Virtually NO cell service with AT&T, TMobile or Verizon.  AT&T we the better of the 3. Our Winegard/Gateway give us no internet which we normally get.  There'd be way too many trees for Starlink.   We were able to tune into some really dorky TV stations.  One was in Japanese, two were in Spanish, and got some oddball stations in English. 
    - The worst was the dump station.  It 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.  It was also Memorial Day weekend and the line at checkout caused us to wait 2 hours to dump!! Of course then we hit all kinds of traffic coming home. 

    We might be back and stay in CCC closer to the open bathrooms, but they REALLY need to do something about the dump stations.


Guide to Mays Landing

Camping in the Mays Landing area sits within the New Jersey Pinelands, featuring lowland forests and wetlands at elevations around 30-50 feet above sea level. The sandy soil throughout campgrounds can create challenging leveling conditions for RVs. Summer temperatures average 85°F with high humidity, while spring and fall offer milder conditions in the 60-70°F range.

What to do

Fishing at multiple ponds: Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake features a lake stocked with fish. "The Lake has plenty of fish," notes one camper who appreciated the fishing opportunities.

Local breweries and restaurants: Several camping options are near local dining and drink options. "There's a cute brewery right around the corner and a burger place called Tony Beef. We liked them both!" mentioned a visitor at Shady Pines Campground.

Beach visits: Most rv parks near Mays Landing provide access to multiple beaches within a short drive. "We were only a short drive from the beach, as well," reported one camper at Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake. "The beach is within 10ish minutes and is beautiful" noted a visitor at Thousand Trails Lake & Shore.

What you should know

Site conditions: Several campgrounds have challenging terrain issues. One camper at Mays Landing Resort noted, "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."

Reservation systems: Different reservation processes exist across campgrounds. At Thousand Trails Lake & Shore, a visitor explained: "The resort did not reserve a particular site and suggested that we drive around and select the one we liked."

Tips for camping with families

Entertainment options: Many campgrounds offer amenities specifically for children. At Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites & RV Resort, a camper appreciated that it "was beautiful and had so many different amenities including a little man made beach in the center of the campground."

Bug preparation: Multiple campgrounds report significant insect activity, especially in warmer months. One visitor to Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake listed "bugs" as one of the cons of staying there, while another at Sun Retreats Seashore noted "the mosquitos were INSANE!"

Playground facilities: Several rv parks near Mays Landing include play areas. A visitor to Mays Landing Resort observed, "It does have a nice playground for the little kids," providing younger children with recreation options.

Tips from RVers

Site selection considerations: Many campgrounds have challenging layouts for larger rigs. A visitor to Sun Retreats Avalon reported, "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."

Campground navigation: Several RV parks feature restricted access roads. "The exit is very tight to get out of and all lanes are one way so be careful if you have a big rig," warned a camper at Mays Landing Resort.

Extended stay options: Some campgrounds cater more to long-term visitors than overnight stays. At Pomona RV Park and Campground, a visitor staying "2 months or so" appreciated that "They have internet, TV, open gear around, city water, sewer, always there to help."
