Best Campgrounds near Millville, NJ

659 Reviews

The natural areas surrounding Millville, New Jersey support a variety of camping options within a 30-minute drive radius. Established campgrounds like Parvin State Park, Belleplain State Forest, and Spacious Skies Country Oaks provide developed sites for tent and RV camping. Most campgrounds in this region accommodate both tent and RV camping, with several locations offering cabin rentals and glamping options. The terrain is generally flat with forested areas and several lakes providing water recreation opportunities, particularly at Parvin State Park and Hospitality Creek Campground.

Camping facilities throughout the Millville area vary in their seasonal availability. Parvin State Park Campground operates from April 1 to October 31, while Winding River Campground has a similar season from May 1 to October 15. As one visitor notes, "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." Campers should be aware that insects can be problematic, particularly ticks and mosquitoes, with multiple reviews mentioning the need for proper insect repellent. Some campgrounds provide full hookups for RVs including water, electric, and sewer, while others offer more primitive experiences with limited amenities.

Many campground reviews highlight the family-friendly nature of the facilities near Millville. Swimming opportunities are available at several locations, with Parvin State Park featuring a lake with a designated swimming area. According to visitor feedback, "The swimming area of Parvin Lake was closed due to COVID, but we did a few hikes. The trails were pretty busy - lots of locals out getting a walk, run, or dog walk in." The hiking trails in the region are generally described as easy with level, sandy terrain, making them accessible for most skill levels. Fishing is available at some campgrounds, though reviews mention issues with algae in some lakes. Campground cleanliness varies by location, with some facilities receiving praise for their well-maintained bathrooms and showers, while others are noted as needing updates or repairs.

    King Nummy Trail Campground

    Nice campground

    This was a nice campground. There are a lot of long term campers but they've got sites for weekenders too. Very close to local shops and attractions. The pool was great. They have 2 on site with a shallower one and an 8ft. No real activities or events when we were there. Bathrooms very clean and located throughout

    Sea Pirate Campground

    Lots to do

    The park was great. Very close to local sites like Tuckerton Seaport. Lots of activities on site including fishing, a heated pool, hot tub, and a couple of playgrounds. Bathrooms were very clean and well maintained. They had several activities and sent text reminders of what was going on

    Batona — Wharton State Forest

    Good spot to sleep

    The camp road was kinda hard to get around direction wise you couldn’t tell what was a road and what was a campsite. It was Saturday night and only two other campers but one was a huge group but thankfully not too loud. Two pit toilets that was pretty bad shape but we are used to disperse camping without toilets so we didn’t complain.

    Alverthorpe Private Park

    Urban Camping Bliss

    I’m following up on my review from over a year ago with some refreshed insight, additional photos and, well, because once wasn’t enough, here’s a quick reel of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS: 

    HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Hidden slice of suburban woodland tucked just outside Philly that is serene enough to reset your social media–addled brain; (2) Flat, open terrain scattered with tall shade trees makes pitching your tent feel practically pastoral; (3) Surprisingly solid cell signal (T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T all wave hello), which is rare in inner-density camping and handy for emergency pizza delivery orders; (4) Short walk to a quaint lake and four-sided chimney for marshmallow toasting that offers low-key charm with built-in ambiance; and (5) Tons of shade completely shroud the entire campground area, so no need to bring those pesky shelters for added coverage. 

    LOWLIGHTS: (1) No restroom drama on the way in, but once you’re past the control building, basic camping reality bites; (2) Ancient shelter and group pavilion are charming in a ‘needs new plumbing’ sort of way; (3) Reaching the camping area involves navigating uneven steps as you won’t be able to drive to your actual campsite, which is great for adventure, but bad for sprained ankles; (4) Feels like a weekend-only myth where the park closes on holidays and deals in ‘control building hours’; and (5) This place is known to be full of litter and in dire need of some ground maintenance, so you might just want to bring an extra garbage bag and a rake to help out.

    Happy Camping!

    Cape Henlopen State Park Campground

    So Much To Do - Not Enough Time

    Spent one night here as we were in transit from a campground near the bottom of the Eastern Shore of Virginia to home (fortunate to get a spot that fit my camper) - spots are close together - full campground even in the middle of the week after school started- but quiet at night.  Almost a mile walk to the beach - great trails for bike riding.   Restrooms were clean!  If you have a trailer, make sure that you input your trailer length to find a site that fits as they vary.   Close to food.   Staff very friendly.   Tons of stuff to do - will return when we have more time.  If you want the experience of driving on the beach - go for it!

    Ocean View Resort Campground

    Lots of fun

    This place had a lot to do with kids! Lake, pool, ice cream, arcade, mini golf, mining station, activities. Does get very crowded and definitely have to book a head. We loved where our site was located. Will definitely be visiting again.

    Redden State Forest Campground

    Secluded and improving

    8/15/2025

    Arrived after dark to find that I had the campground to myself. As noted in other reviews, turn right as you drive past the office/house and let yourself in through the closed (but unlocked) gate. Since the last review, it appears they've added 11 sites on a branch if you bear left after the gate. These sites (8-18) are level, packed gravel pads with benches, fire pit, grill, and picnic table. The restroom featured on the map is just a portalet, but there is plenty of overflow parking in that branch. Apparently you're not supposed to pull onto the gravel with your vehicle, just park parallel to the road alongside it. 

    Another note about the gravel - can't get stakes in. Plus, it's a pine forest and I didn't want to get sap on my tent so I didn't tent adjacent to the pad amidst the pine needles. I did drive around the right branch (sites 1-7) in the morning to find that they are dirt/grass sites and probably would be ideal for tenting/staking (and in case you haven't guessed, I don't have a freestanding tent). The area is densely forested with pines and is quite pleasant in that regard.

    Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites & RV Resort

    Pros and cons

    We have been to this campground twice. First time everything was very clean and lots to do. The last time things had slipped a little bit. Campground was definitely not as clean. The first time there was staff riding around picking up garbage and keeping things neat. Last time it seemed like it was just a bunch of teenagers flying around on golf carts not doing much. Almost all the games were broken in the arcade. Plus a lot more seasonals. The seasonals also have a lot of political flags with profanities. Not very family friendly! Pros love the pool, lake, waterslides, and proximity to cape may Cons broken equipment, kids racing golf carts all hours of the nights, lots of seasonals with over the top decorations, with flags with profanities and cleanliness slipping. We will try it again. Hopefully they were just having an off year.
