First time at this campground really like it a lot will be returning. The bathrooms are always clean. The grounds are always kept up. Just a really nice place to stay. Most of the sites have some kind of shade.

⚠️ Think Twice Before Booking— Our Family Felt Targeted and Intimidated
I am writing this review because I genuinely want to warn other families before they book this campground. What should have been a relaxing camping trip turned into an extremely upsetting experience for our family. From the beginning, we felt singled out and unwelcome. We arrived at our campsite and then went to the office. We did not know that the campground required every guest to go to the office before going to their site. This was an honest misunderstanding. Instead of simply explaining the rule and moving on, the situation became unnecessarily confrontational, and we felt like the staff was looking for reasons to have an issue with us. What was especially upsetting was how our children were treated. Our children were riding scooters and were stopped and told that scooters were not allowed. We were extremely confused because we could clearly see much younger children riding/driving around the campground. Our 14-year-old was not allowed to do so, while we observed significantly younger white children being allowed to ride. What made this even worse was the way our children were spoken to. They came running back to us scared and intimidated by the interaction. As parents, that was extremely upsetting to see. There is a huge difference between calmly explaining a campground rule to a child and speaking to a child in a way that makes them feel frightened. If there is a rule that scooters are not allowed, then the rule should be applied consistently to every child, regardless of age or background. What we witnessed did not feel consistent. As the experience continued, we felt increasingly targeted. We were left with the strong impression that they did not want our family there. At one point, it honestly felt like they were trying to find reasons to get rid of us, which made us question whether the campground had overbooked and was looking for a way to push us out. We also had a very concerning experience regarding payment. We were forced to pay in cash and were not provided with a receipt. As paying guests, we found this extremely troubling and unprofessional. The entire experience left our family feeling uncomfortable, intimidated, and unwelcome. Camping with children should be about relaxing, enjoying the outdoors, and making good memories—not having your children come running back to you because they are scared of how an adult spoke to them. I cannot speak to anyone else's intentions, but**based on what we personally experienced and witnessed, we felt that our family was being treated differently because of our background. Seeing younger white children being allowed to do something that our children were stopped from doing made the situation even more concerning.I strongly recommend that families think twice before booking this campground. If you do decide to stay, make sure you understand every rule before arriving, document your interactions, and keep proof of every payment. We are sharing this review because other families deserve to know what our experience was like before spending their money and vacation time here. No family should leave a campground feeling intimidated, targeted, or unwelcome.

Perfect campground for our family of 4

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.

Poor sites
I recently stayed at Site 36, and unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The biggest issue was the campsite itself. Site 36 is extremely small, with neighboring campers only about 5 feet away on one side and roughly 12 feet behind the site. There was very little privacy, which made it difficult to relax. Many of the nearby sites appeared to be occupied by long-term or permanent residents. Several had large amounts of personal belongings stored under tarps, giving the area an unkempt appearance. In addition, the neighboring campsite had children's bikes, large toys, and other miscellaneous items overflowing onto the site I had rented, making it feel even more cramped. Another major concern was the constant cigarette and marijuana smoke. It was noticeable throughout much of the day, and because of the smoke, I couldn't comfortably leave my camper windows open. At over $110 per night for a full hookup site, I expected a much better experience. I understand the campground told me there were no other sites available, although I did notice a few empty sites during my stay. Whether those sites were reserved or unavailable for another reason, I can't say, but Site 346 should not be rented at this price given its condition and lack of privacy. Overall, I would not stay here again and cannot recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing camping experience. Its great for daily tubing but as a camper they lock the fence that gets you to the bridge so you have to take a long walk around although non campers can pull right up, it makes no sense to have a pass through that's locked.

Guide to Millville
Camping spots near Millville, New Jersey range from rustic tent sites to full-service RV campgrounds across primarily sandy, pine forest terrain. Located in the flat coastal plain region of southern New Jersey, these camping areas typically sit at elevations under 100 feet above sea level and experience humid summer temperatures often reaching into the 90s. Mosquitoes and ticks are particularly active from May through September at most campgrounds, requiring consistent use of insect repellent.
What to do
Kayaking and tubing options: At Winding River Campground, campers can enjoy water recreation with convenient transport service. "They have kayaking and tubing available with their own transport 2, 3 and 5 hour trips and you come right back down to the campsite!! Bring your own and just pay a small transport fee," notes Michelle F.
Fishing for varied species: The lakes at several campgrounds provide good fishing opportunities, particularly for bass. At Old Cedar Campground, one visitor mentioned their grandchildren "were able to play miniature golf, swim in the pool (they had pool toys to borrow) fish (and yes they caught bass)."
Nature trails for hiking: Flat, sandy paths make hiking accessible for most skill levels. At Belleplain State Forest, a visitor notes, "We have walked through the site areas and they seem to be a nice size but not offering too much privacy. We are usually there in the off season so not sure how crazy it gets in the warmer months with the lake being there."
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain their bathhouses well despite heavy use. At Belleplain State Forest, a camper reported, "First time here and will be back…. Best state run campground I've been to. Friendly staff, clean facilities, so much to do. Offers more than some private campgrounds."
Water recreation areas: Swimming options range from lakes to pools. A visitor to Ocean View Resort Campground described it as having "a huge pool and unbelievable splash pad to a great swimming pond with a beach!"
Spacious sites: Some campgrounds offer good separation between sites. According to one camper at Belleplain State Forest, "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."
What you should know
Water quality issues: Some campgrounds have problems with their water systems. At Parvin State Park, a camper observed, "Bathrooms were clean but most of the faucets on the sinks were broken. The water has a very high iron content. I couldn't even use it for tooth brushing."
Bathroom maintenance varies: While some facilities are well-maintained, others need attention. One visitor to Hospitality Creek Campground noted, "The pools are nice and have on-duty lifeguards all day. We rode our bikes around, enjoyed time on the lake in a rented paddleboat, and had a blast at the 70s-themed live concert at the pavilion on Saturday night."
Seasonal limitations: Most campgrounds operate from April through October. Regarding cell service at different locations, one visitor to Belleplain State Forest reported, "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."
Tips for camping with families
Splash pads for younger children: Several campgrounds offer water play areas designed for kids. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park - Elmer, a visitor shared, "The pool and splash park were great but you needed to be at least 42 inches to go on the slide or bounce house."
Weekend activities: Many campgrounds schedule special events for families. According to a camper at Mays Landing Resort, "This was my daughters and I first camping trip. The place seemed like it was a lot of regulars so it had a community vibe. The staff was very accommodating and gracious. The onsite stores prices were very inexpensive which surprised me."
Playground access: Consider sites near recreational facilities. At Old Cedar Campground, a visitor mentioned, "Quiet during the week - numerous seasonal campers. Reservation only includes 2 people - it's 8.00 per day for each additional person. My grandchildren loved visiting us, pool was clean - they had a few items that they could borrow."
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain that can be difficult for larger rigs. At Spacious Skies Country Oaks, an RVer shared, "We stayed in pull-thru site#12 which was level, covered in clean gravel, had a concrete patio with picnic table and Adirondack chairs, and a nice fire ring. The site was big enough for our motor home."
Dump station limitations: Limited facilities can create congestion at peak checkout times. A visitor to Belleplain State Forest warned, "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!!"
Navigation concerns: Tight roads can be challenging for larger vehicles. At Mays Landing Resort, one RVer noted, "Really nice area but the park is a little run down and spots are super crowded with really narrow, winding streets. It was a maze."
