Clean, big-rig friendly, large sites.
Overall, this is a nice, small (about 65 sites) state park with plenty of recreational opportunities inside the park. There is nice separation between sites so you don’t feel like you are on top of your neighbor. Tall trees are scattered about which provide shade at some sites but overall, the park is pretty open. Roads getting to the park are easy to navigate with any size RV. Within the park, roads are paved and free of potholes and there are no low hanging branches. Since the roads are one-way they are not very wide so backing in big-rigs can be a little tight and you might have to run over the grass.
All RV sites are full hook-up and there is a separate area for tents and there is one canvas yurt for rent. The tent sites are nice in that they are tucked along the wood line slightly away from RVs with more privacy and shade. The only downside is that they are pretty far away from the centrally located bathroom and showers. The bathroom has separate rooms for showers which is nice and private. They were tended to daily and very clean. Also, located in the center of the campground is a playground, camp store and laundry. The dumpsters and recycle bins are located in a separate area on the way out of the campground and were frequently full and overflowing. Campsites are paved and some have wide enough that the patio is paved but others have a narrow pad for the RV and gravel patio. We discovered that most sites are level but a few are not (like 22 and 24). The campground is very clean and camp hosts were diligent about picking up trash and cleaning out fire pits every day.
Across the pond (north of the campground) is where most of the amenities are located such as concessions, ball fields, horseshoe pits, disk golf, and more. For those wanting to fish there is a pier in the campground and a self-serve vending machine with bait in it. There are additional fishing piers located in other parts of the park and there are boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards for rent. We stopped in at the Nature Center but it was a bust– just a few taxidermy specimens and not much information. One of the most popular areas of the park is Go Ape which is a ropes/zip line course through the canopy (which does require admission fee). There are nice trails that leave right from the campground– some 17 miles in all. There is a boat launch about a quarter mile from the campground entrance which is suitable for trailerable boats and paddle craft but there are no docks so you can’t leave your boat tied up there. There is an off-leash dog area but it is located far from the campground so it’s best to drive.

Beachcomber RV Resort
Website says RV Resort and cabins. Turns out 75%+/- of camping area is made up of Tiny Homes, owned by people, and some for rent, plus cabins.
In fairness, this isn't our type of camping. Many RV's were season with no one there. Thursday was dead, but Friday campers came in for Mother's Day weekend. We went to the bathhouse only to find out it was closed (seasonal). So a nice easy walk to do laundry turned into a lengthy walk or drive. Made no sense. Then on Friday, I was outside reading a book and an employee rolled into our site on a riding mower kicking up dirt all over me and into the trailer, with rocks kicked up into the picnic table. Lucky, no broken windows. Lippert no longer makes the window, so they would have been buying five (5) ones
This is a great place for families with young children. Just not our cup of tea

Nice, Quiet Campground but Ongoing Electrical Issues and No Resolution
We stayed at this campground for approximately one month and paid full price with the expectation of reliable utilities and access to advertised amenities. The property itself is nice and quiet, which we appreciated, but unfortunately that did not outweigh the issues we experienced.
During our stay, we had ongoing electrical problems at our site. Our air conditioner would not function properly, and we were unable to use it for essentially the entire month, including during several hot days. Our hot water heater also could not reliably run on electric, which forced us to operate it on propane and refill our tanks twice at our own expense.
In addition to the electrical issues, the water quality was also a concern. The water from the faucet would often come out brown and murky for a period of time when first turned on, and at times even after it had been running.
Our site also did not include basic amenities such as a fire ring or picnic table, which are typically expected and commonly included with full-price sites.
At one point, the entire campground lost power. Despite that, we were told our pedestal had been tested and was functioning properly, which was not possible given the campground-wide outage at the time.
After leaving and connecting to power at a different campground, all of our systems—including AC and hot water—worked immediately without issue. This confirmed the problem was not with our RV, but with the power supply at this campground.
Additionally, one of the listed amenities (the pool) was unavailable when we attempted to use it.
We brought these concerns to the owner and requested a reasonable refund or adjustment based on the lack of usable electrical service and the additional expenses we incurred. That request was refused.
We are sharing this so others are aware. If you rely on consistent electrical service, clean water, and standard site amenities, this is something to seriously consider before booking.

Lums Pond State Park Campground
Spacious, Well Maintained, and Top Notch
This campground has everything. Conveniently located, short drive to Dover, Wilmington, Annapolis and Baltimore. The sites were very large and spacious. Sites can accommodate any type of trailer or vehicle. Plenty of site hookups, areas for tents. There is a camp store, several washer and dryers. The best private, individual shower booths and even a pond to go fishing in.

First time campers and we loved it here
The area was well maintained, lots for the kids to do, and everyone that worked there was so nice. Close to beaches and food. We’ll be back!

Horrible
Lived there full time up until a branch fell on our camper and totaled it. We took her rent and told her our plans and she sat there and said keep me updated. We were going to get another camper so I called to let her know and asked if it was ok and she was very quiet then said I'd rather you not. So you knew what we intended on doing a month before we decided to go with another camper but you instead of telling us face to face you were a coward and delayed us finding another camper so now we are scrambling to find a place. She doesn't know how to run the campground, she never even sent us a formal notification to vacate our lot just word of mouth. washers are old and don't work correctly. I would not recommend it at all. Always nitpicking my son for being outside and being a boy. Very flat and bizarre affect. Hard to deal with. No tent sites no activities for the kids. Bugs are super bad no kind of pest control done.

No call back
I called the reservation number and was told to call a different number. I call that number and it was a wrong number. Then I went back to their website. And put in my information. It's been a day and a half , and I still haven't heard from them. So I moved on and got a different reservation.Somewhere else. The lucky I gave him a star.
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."
