Mount Laurel's surrounding area features several RV-friendly campgrounds with varying amenities and site layouts. Mays Landing Resort operates from April to November with full hookup sites for larger rigs, though reviews note that many spots are unlevel and closely spaced. Military Park at Fort Dix Range 14 Camp remains open year-round with both electric and sewer connections, catering primarily to RV travelers. Crystal Springs Lodges & RV Resort provides concrete pull-through RV pads that accommodate big rigs, with 50-amp service and sewer hookups available at most sites. A visitor commented that "the spots were tight and when our neighbor parked his truck in his spot, my chair could almost touch it."
Between Philadelphia and Atlantic City, most RV parks in the region offer convenient access from major highways, though navigation through some of the older resorts requires careful maneuvering along narrow, winding interior roads. Dump stations are generally available at the larger facilities, with Mays Landing and Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake providing sanitary dump access for guests. Limited cellular service affects some campgrounds, particularly those nestled in the Pine Barrens area. According to one reviewer, the roads at certain parks are "soft sand and can get rough after a rain storm," making arrival planning important, especially for larger motorhomes. Most parks welcome pets with designated walking areas, though some military facilities maintain pet restrictions.

Quiet, Clean and Friendly
We stayed at the group site campground with our horse. We found the sites to be large, and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they have fall activities for the family, at the lake and nature hikes. The porta potty's are very clean, have hand sanitizer and plenty of paper. Will be returning again in a few weeks. Plenty of trails to ride on. A true gem in our own backyard.

Upscale Parking Paradise at This Home Fixer-Upper
Located just off US Route 1 in the upscale Princeton area, this spacious Lowe's serves up a surprisingly pleasant patch of pavement for weary road warriors looking to catch some shut-eye. Set back roughly 80 yards from the highway, this big blue home improvement retailer offers a generously sized parking lot with relatively manageable traffic, good maneuverability and a quieter atmosphere than you might expect from such a busy suburban retail corridor. The western and southern edges of the lot are particularly appealing for an overnight stay, and with Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several other retailers nearby, convenience certainly isn't in short supply. Better yet, the store management was friendly and accommodating when we called ahead to arrange our overnight visit.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spacious, paved parking lot with plenty of room to maneuver larger rigs; (2) Convenient access to US Route 1 and nearby I-95; (3) Western and southern parking areas offer quieter spots away from the busiest customer traffic; (4) Excellent nearby conveniences, including Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several dining options; and (5) Friendly store management that welcomed our overnight stay, plus surprisingly good opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) Some daytime retail traffic and occasional road noise, although nothing terribly disruptive; (2) No RV hookups, dump station or dedicated overnight camping facilities; (3) Parking areas closest to the store can become crowded during business hours; (4) Limited greenery and little of the scenery you'd expect from a traditional campground; and (5) While the overnight experience was excellent, this is still a commercial parking lot rather than a destination for an extended stay.
Happy Overnighting!

Great park
Many long term seasonal sites. Good community. Large shower house good and clean . Pool. Game room. Off leash dog park. Wooded/shady sites or no shade sunny sites. Lots of area to walk or play. Large field, basketball couture, frisky golf, play area and laundry room. We were here all summer (June-october). Lots to do in the area. Good food nearby. Ocean city 10 minutes away.

Pine Barrens New Jersey
This campground is part of the Wharton State Forest and has several campgrounds in the area. Great wooded sites right on a lake. Pretty good separation between sites with good tree separation between sites. Some road noise not overly affecting site.

Park uses county cops to shut down park by 9pm.
On Friday, September 4, 2026, I rented a trailer and brought my family to Cheesequake State Park to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary over the extended Labor Day weekend. Around 9:20 PM—well before the park's designated 10:00 PM quiet hours—we were sitting inside our canopy, playing Jenga, and listening to low background music. Two officers from the Matawan Police Department approached our campsite. They were polite and courteous, simply offering a standard reminder to wrap things up by 10:00 PM. Before they could leave, however, a third, senior officer intervened. Wanting to"show them how it's done," he made the two polite officers return and stand by to watch as he demonstrated how to aggressively harass campers. Flashlight in hand, the senior officer approached with an immediate hostile attitude, treating us like criminals as he demanded to know who rented the site. He began reiterating rules and claimed we had too many vehicles. We had three cars, one belonging to my brother-in-law's girlfriend, who was visiting with her daughter. She had paid the$10 visitor fee at the main office and was instructed by staff to obtain the gate access code from us, the primary renters, if she got locked in. No staff member ever informed her of an 8:00 PM visitor departure deadline, leading us to reasonably assume visitors were permitted until quiet hours began at 10:00 PM. The officer rudely snapped that she had been given wrong information. The senior officer then used profanity in front of three small children, aggressively telling her to ("get her shit and get the fuck out!") in that manner or use profanity, the officer went from hostile to furious. He angrily declared that these were official violations and threatened that he could be issuing us tickets instead. Desperately searching for anything and everything to throw at us, he demanded that we turn off our idling car—which was supplying power to our campsite—and instructed us to make sure the campfire was doused before shutting down for the night. He then proceeded to shine his flashlight into our private setup—including our canopy, tents, and the inside of our trailer—searching for any other possible violation while the two polite officers were forced to watch. What was supposed to be a special 10th wedding anniversary celebration with my family was completely ruined by a senior officer misusing his authority to put on an unnecessary display of intimidation. Worse than just ruining our night, he spent that evening teaching those two police officers how to be bad cops. He corrupted two officers in real time, demonstrating firsthand exactly why most people have lost faith in the police force. The next day we was ready for them. We turned off our lights and quietly by the fire while they went next door to harass an asian family that had just set up camp and had their leds lights on.

Simple, peaceful FHU
We stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.

Don’t go unless you want harassment
My check in was for 8-6-2026, and bc I’m a new driver and wanted to beat traffic I got there early (7am) so I sit there waiting till check in time. When suddenly the park police show up. He’s accusing me of camping over night there. I told him simply I wasn’t and where I was night prior (would never sleep somewhere without permission). So we go to the store to kill time before we check in. Come back for Check in and the whole staff in just the office alone were so arrogant and cold to my mom and I, leaving rude comments to us and not only where they like that but the staff outside the office was acting like that alongside the rangers and park police. They would watch us the whole visit in the distance parking there cars a little ways watching everything we did,even driving by slowly a bunch of times in just an hour alone. My mom and I couldn’t do anything with out them showing up 2 mins later. Example we were walking our dog enjoying our time(trying to) and all of a sudden one of the office ladies pulls up right in front of us speeding, parks their car, gets out and walks a distance from us standing there and taking pictures of us…. For walking our dog who’s on a leash and didn’t even do anything. The whole trip we felt uncomfortable and unwanted and to find out they police when we were going on walks where coming up to campers near us bribing them with free firewood to get any information on use (told to us by other camper). I paid a lot of money to be harassed and followed the whole time. We never did anything we abide by every rule and keep to ourselves everywhere we go. They even made my mother cry…
Guide to Mount Laurel
Mount Laurel camping options span across the Pine Barrens region with campsites nestled among Atlantic white cedar swamps and pitch pine forests. Summer temperatures typically range from 75-85°F with high humidity, while spring and fall offer milder camping conditions between 55-70°F. The sandy soil conditions throughout the region drain quickly after rain but can create challenging driving conditions for larger vehicles on unpaved campground roads.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: 3-inch baby turtles were spotted hatching near the tent loop at Mays Landing Resort, where campers can fish in the adjacent pond. As one visitor noted, "There is a laundry facility. It's about $6 to wash and dry a load. There is no change machine that we could find."
Brewery visits: 15-minute drive from Shady Pines Campground to local breweries. "There's a cute brewery right around the corner and a burger place called Tony Beef. We liked them both!" This makes for a perfect afternoon activity when you're not at the campsite.
Beach access: short walk from Military Park NJ National Guard Training Center RV sites to free beaches. According to one camper, "Free beach just a few moments' walk down the road. Close to shore towns & many restaurants. Plenty of space for kids to play in the field/grass area."
What campers like
Peaceful atmosphere: Some rv sites near Mount Laurel, New Jersey offer surprising tranquility despite suburban locations. At Village Scene Park, campers appreciate that "the place is incredibly quiet and far enough away from busy traffic." One reviewer mentioned it's "located smack dab in the middle of an otherwise sprawling suburban area."
Fishing opportunities: Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake gets praise for its fishing. "Good fishing, good people, nice shaded and sunny spots, beautiful pool," notes one regular visitor. The lake has "plenty of fish" according to another review.
Clean facilities: Bathrooms receive positive feedback at multiple campgrounds. At Shady Pines, a visitor reported, "We have a small TT so my family did utilize the bathrooms for shower conveniece after the beach and they were SUPER clean." Similar comments appear across other Mount Laurel area RV parks.
What you should know
Weather challenges: Sandy roads can create difficulties after rain. At Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake, visitors advise to "stay away from the front middle spots, they flood when it rains." Plan your arrival timing accordingly, especially with larger rigs.
Leveling issues: Many RV camping spots near Mount Laurel require extra leveling blocks. One camper at Shady Pines Campground reported, "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."
Limited amenities: Some campgrounds offer fewer facilities than expected. As one visitor to Shady Pines noted, "Other than a small swimming pool and a small fenced area for dogs, there were no amenities." Call ahead to confirm what's available during your planned stay dates.
Tips for camping with families
Look for kid-friendly activities: Mays Landing Resort offers events for children. One family mentioned, "My daughter really enjoyed the scavenger hunt. The miniature golf course could have been maintained better, but it was so inexpensive I couldn't consider it an issue."
Consider noise levels: Weekend entertainment can be loud at some campgrounds. A camper at Mays Landing noted, "On Saturday night, there is a DJ and a dance party from 7-10 pm. It is extraordinarily raining so I didn't venture outside of the canopy!"
Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer water recreation. At Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake, a family reported, "The girls loved swimming in the lake and the pool. We were only a short drive from the beach, as well."
Tips from RVers
Sewer connection placement: Check the location of hookups before positioning your RV. At Military Park NJ National Guard Training Center, a camper warned, "Only annoying thing was the sewer hookup is about 18 inches off the ground so you need to lift the hose when emptying the tanks to ensure it actually fully drains."
Site selection strategies: At Military Park NJ National Guard Training Center RV Sites, "We stayed in site #1 with our 21' travel trailer. In our opinion this is the best site because you have an unobstructed view of Stockton Lake & the horizon over the ocean. Big rig spots are further back (around site 6-9 or so)."
Local transport options: For camping near Mount Laurel with RV sites, public transportation can save driving hassles. Village Scene Park provides convenient access to Philadelphia, as "nearby there's a SEPTA Doylestown / Landsdale regional rail line stop that will pretty much give you all of the direct access to the city."
